It's not like that information isn't readily available in the phone book...

If you think something shouldn't be on the site you should report it to a moderator for them to decide.

I agree that it's saint's site, and thats all well and good, but for the people in the area they need to be aware of him and what he does. It's just like the warnings in the bad traders sellers list. It still pertains to arcade stuff, and that is what this community is about.

do people in the bad traders list have their home phone/address listed?

Hawk Daddy · « **Reply #43 on:** August 26, 2007, 10:44:38 pm »

I don't know, but they probably should.

For all of the weight that it carries, I'm with Lew on this ...

Name .... OK

City/State ... OK

Phone ... Not so much
StreetAddress... Not so much

Having said that, if this guy were a criminal scammer, I would think differently.

We have a guy, relatively local to me, who is a well-known scammer (search: Mark Uttley) on RGP, CL, KIJIJI, Mr Pinball, CGCC, MAACA and other sites. In that case, where there are CRIMINAL charges involved, then I can agree with the release of personal information for confirmation of identity. NOT because some 18 year old kid on a message board says so (and I believe HD's story, but really, what do we know about each other ?).

Oddlly enough, I was talking to a friend of mine at Saturday's auction ... he matches the general description of the local scammer, drives the same freaking vehicle and lives in the same general area ... yet, he is completely legit and unrelated to the scammer (confirmed, though I tease him otherwise). Sucks to be him right now. (neither here nor there, but interesting consequence of the release of information).

I edited out the info about ten minutes ago, but if anybody wants it just pm me.

Just let it go. It sucks that you bought the replacement stuff already, but it would have been more pragmatic to wait until you actually had it. Yes, this other guy is 100% in the wrong, but unless you actually want to press legal charges or go to his house and rough him up, you'll just have to report him to ebay and hope they do what needs to be done.

As someone else suggested, it wouldn't be a bad idea to post about him in the bad sellers thread.

You've been (kind of) Wenzeled. If you've got a few hours to find out what happens to jerks like this read on. Warning: you'll be sucked in.

Maybe we should do the same here.

I agree all of you all should call the guy over and over and be like you must sale for that price, and just keep annoying him, that could work, but I'm not doing it.

Just leave a nice BIG negative and move on. The guys is not worth your time.

RayB · « **Reply #50 on:** August 27, 2007, 12:53:42 pm »

This type of seller will leave him a negative too. Then they'll mutually agree to remove the negs, and they'll be right back where they are now.

Bad luck ...

If I had his email address, I'd be subscribing to every porn mailing list out there.

Sorry, but this guy is obviously pulling a fast one ...

Make sure to go for the weird stuff. Like midgets without legs and stuff.

Since you have his physical address as well simply fill a few packages with feces, dead bugs, and or any other nasty ass thing you can think of and mail it to him (without return address and make sure to drop it off at a BLUE mail bin)....

Hawk Daddy · « **Reply #55 on:** August 27, 2007, 05:54:29 pm »

Thats a good idea, how about a bunch of old porn magizines, and let his wife open it, or even better, send him letters from a pretend girlfriend? Have some of my friends call and ask to speak with him? That could work. I could really screw with him on that note. Or I could hire Danny Ocean, and they could film Oceans 14, at his house that could work.

Ok, we've left the realm of "upset" and gone right into CrazyTown.

I just emailed him a link to this thread...

For all we know, this guy is just someone Hawk doesn't like.

Yall Started it, I was just saying. And maybe he'll see the light when he sees this tread. I doubt it, he'll probably just be like though crap. And I was kidding about the whole oceans 14 thing, it's to low key for them.

And why would I lie about this? If you want the emails, and links to ebay you can have them, and I've got the proof of everything that I have said.

You know, I wouldn't worry about it too much...

Looks like everybody is on your side here -- and is thinking "but there for the grace of God go I..."

He sounds like a real looser, or a 14 year old little punk.

How do you know how loose or tight the guy is?!? WAIT! On second though...DON'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION!

Hawk Daddy · « **Reply #62 on:** August 27, 2007, 08:00:52 pm »

I'm actually interested in what he says to leapinlew. I've thought about just going the legal route, and well it would cost me, but the way this guy seems it would cost him more, and I would just ave the satisfaction from it.

You'll be waiting a while. I don't really care enough to do much. I barely care enough to type what I'm typing now.

You got screwed, but need to find the silver lining on this. Many times people lose money and have nothing to show for it. At least he didn't take your money. I mean... it sucks, but just move on to the next cabinet. He'll get his...

Good luck with your resolution on this and good luck with your next project.

I tried to buy a painting around Christmas time and the seller kept bidding against me to drive the price up, and when I stopped bidding, he emailed me and tried to sell it to me at the last price I bid at when the bidding closed and he won his own item. So lame. I of course ignored the offer as the whole thing was just way untrustworthy and crude.

They don't let you bid on your own item. Did he have someone else bidding on it? (shill bidding)

There's tons of people that have multiple account espeically account for those purpose mentioned.

Am I the only one that's waiting for a regular around here to create a 'sdycrawford' account and post a hilarious response to this thread?
