As already shown, the other experienced stealthers also got the joke because any of us can spot Stealthers quite easily, address being one one of the ways.
Anyhow, this post wasnt about advice, it was a funny, but you have added to hilarity no end :)
I am still trying to figure out why you comment on all my posts, you try to discredit me by your own limited amount of knowledge, being a newbie. I think I have a stalker, I am flattered. Do you love me?
Ok, ill put 1 Buckingham Palace on my next account, lets see how that Works.
:facepalm:

You really are the most clueless person on this forum. I'm not arguing with Bunneh - I'm arguing with you.
Yes - ANYONE can spot stealthers who choose silly addresses - but you said you can ALWAYS catch stealthers.
Once again you confuse time spent on this forum with time spent on ebay.
You also assume that length of service on this forum is an indication of knowledge of ebay stealth - that also is not true.
I've been an ebay stealther for 13 years and time and again you've proven that you actually know very little accurate information and provide info that can be countered within a second.
I'm sure your ebay accounts may earn more than mine but as I've been running my own proper business for 10 years I doubt you'll even come close to knowing anything about running businesses that involve employees rather than fly by night ebay accounts that rely on hiding your true identity.
When you can prove yourself in the real world aswell as ebay you might have something worthwhile to say.
I noticed that the last time somebody else also pulled you up on your "knowall but really knows nothing" attitude you didn't even have the balls to respond.
And you need to brush up on the concept of random address. It's not the same as an address that's likely to be noticed .
I don't respond to all your comments. It may seem like I respond to more than normal because you post inaccuracies so often.
Perhaps inaccuracies is unfair - as I said earlier - you post as if your response is definitive when it's not. You post as if your advice is the one and only option when others know it really isn't.
And yes - I've seen The Prisoner too!!

Using well known addresses is not conducive to stealth.
A little common sense is needed when creating accounts.

Obviously which is why most stealthers will use ordinary addresses.
Wired seems to confuse being able to spot stealthers with being able to spot "all" stealthers.
Clearly if someone used 10 Downing Street as an address they might be having a laugh and I'm sure that even Wired could work that one out - but most stealthers will use ordinary real addresses that do not belong to them that do not ring any bells at all

IMO, it can be VERY easy to spot a stealth on ebay, if it is what I call a 'lazy' or bad stealth.
I do not agree your stealth address can be ANY that exists

I agree if it's a lazy account.
When I said ANY address I assumed it was accepted a certain level of common sense was also necessary so you don't use obvious addresses.

You should change the word ALWAYS to the word SOMETIMES then you can celebrate a rare factually accurate posting.
Your post says you can catch all stealthers.
You can't
