**UPDATE 12/14!!! ** "Mr. Arcade"

[Xphile]

just out of curiosity is it possible to ban his IP and not his name from the boards.

OK, this thread has moved beyond civil. Parts are being nuked to post hell. Keep it civil people. Thanks.

CENSORSHIP RULES!

[flampoo]

Oh, and congrats to mamemaster for getting the resolution you needed.

A note from Slappy -
   I wasn't getting huffy, nor was I rushing to Saint's defense.

I simply was stating a point that this board is Saint's property, and he has the authority to censor it as he pleases. Just as you were so eloquently stating your objections, ina very mature and thoughtful approach. No harm, no foul.

To your defense, this is the second time I've seen it. I just felt the need to state my case.

I did not mean to demean your intelligence by my example, nor did I mean to single you out. I was simply using your statement as an example.
-Slappy out!

Depending on how it was shipped, I've seen tracking numbers take a day or so to actually make it into the online system to be verified.

True. The last thing I bought off Ebay arrived before the tracking information was updated at USPS......

Everytime I get a tracking number from USPS it always ends up saying to "Check back tomorrow as the info is updated nightly". Only ones I have ever seen as having reliable tracking info are UPS and Fedex.

Haven't been around much, since I am trying to focus on my studies for the time being.
I DID MAKE A PURCHASE THAT I TOO HAVE NOT RECEIVED, AND CONTACT WAS BROKEN OFF BY MR. ARCADE A LONG TIME AGO.
I was actually thinking of posting this same thread topic a few weeks ago; however, as a newbie, I was hesitant to do so unless it was the last straw.
There is MUCH MORE on this matter, but I am currently in the middle of finals this week.
Those of you who have interest in the issues with this guy will be somewhat interested in specifics with my "transaction." 
The law is going to step in for me though, and I WILL go so far as small claims court just because of the principle. But money isn't completely irrelevant, as I would first try for a spot on the Peoples Court to get the free airfair (+ all you guys would get to watch too!!!) 

More to come when exams are complete!!!

[Goz]

Go to Peoples Court if you can. The judge is a MILF.

   I really hope that you guys aren't talking about Judge Judy!!!   
And if you weren't.........I really hope your preference for retro is limited to arcade/video games, AND YOU AREN'T REFERRING TO JUDGE WAPNER!!!!!!   


Amazing how I can keep my sense of humor when being ripped for my entire monitor budget ($300), which I never would have spent  had I known that Bush was going to cut one of my largest grants a week after I "purchased" it.  Why can't college students have a guaranteed salary during their studies like those European countries with intersting furniture 

[menace]

sounds like mr. arcade is a dirtbag who only ships something after you call the police on him--wonder how many others he's ripped off cause they couldn't be bothered to call the cops--i still think someone should put a flaming bag of dog poo on his front step--just to let him know we are watching him 

[1UP]

I'd like to see Mr. Arcade post to this board, explaining his situation.  That might even win him some sympathy.  So far he hasn't.  Best thing would be to tell everyone you know to avoid doing business with him until his "money problems" are sorted out.

I remember talking to Mr.Arcade in the BYOAC chat room before (a year or so back).  He had always seemed like a cool guy.  He is even the one responsible for the "BYOAC People Finder" linked at the top of these pages.  So I was really shocked to read these accounts of people getting ripped off by him.  He must have fallen into some really dire straits.

This is because USPS Delivery Confirmation does only that...confirm the delivery once the package has arrived.  Its not ment to track the ongoing status of the shipment like UPS or FedEx.  Its also only $0.45 extra on priority mail, so you can't expect much for that! 

[iwillfearnoevil]

I was ripped off by someone on this board as well. I'm not going to bother to say who, he knows who he is.

thanks for looking out for the rest of us
