According to the guys around here, that's just Doomy. Don't pay him no mind.
(or Paypal, cash, cheque, Visa, part trade, etc.) |

Great, I had no idea about this person and I just bought a RAM expansion card from him. Oh well, if I get screwed, I guess I'm only out $20 - could be worse.

How do you know this is doomy? I saw an auction from this guy for a 1084? or something amiga RGB monitor a few days ago. Didn't bid cause he didn't take paypal, nobody else bid either. He takes money order only, the most risky way to buy something via ebay, no thanks.

Only people who lack common sence would send money in post, But this is indeed the only way he can accept international payment... I would never send money that could just be "LOST" along the way . Thats just stupid ...

This guy could be totally legit, who knows? There isn't anything thing I see that links him to anybody else... His payment method is too risky for me though, so no sale from me.

I asked if seller allowed local pick up. Here is what the person had to say:
'Yes, I do allow local pickup, but you will still have to pay a $10 handling fee. The reason why I only accept a Postal money order or a check from a well known bank in the US is because I have been ripped off in the past. For instance, I once sold a guy a rare vintage black GI Joe for $431.00. He mailed me a Bank Check. I deposited the bank check into my own account. Then I shipped the guy his GI Joe. When he received the packaged, he issued a stop-payment on the bank check and kept the GI Joe. I then filed a complaint with the IFCC and eBay suspended the guy's account. The same thing happened again when I sold to some guy a rare Matchbox MOY for $335.00. He stopped the payment and kept the car. Now, because of those two jerks, I only accept cash, a postal money order, or a check from US Bank or Wells Fargo Bank. The reason why I do not accept PayPal is because PayPal is not a bank. By accepting PayPal a person loses all of their rights that they would otherwise have by going through a real bank or by using a real credit card. I have been selling on eBay for over 7 years, in all of that time I have never ripped anyone off. But, some people just like to spread lies about me. Oh well.' WHERE have we heard that before? |

Exactly!
They are trying to hord Amiga to them selves and its not going to happen. Lies are spread about anyone who steps in and tries to sell Amiga related stuff. Its a way of keeping Amiga and all the IP's to themselves, allthough its just a few websites they feel that they are right and dont want anyone in. Im not going to name the websites in question or the owners even tho one of them looks like a leppa. He sounds like a long suffering Amigan (retrogeek) thats been rejected and mamed apon like me and what ever he does gets bad luck. Im going to have to contact this guy and fins out the real truth! Come on RetroGeek Doomy tell us it all from start to finish, I;m ready to listen to his whole side of the story and people should make there own opinions inside of piggybacking on bullsh*t. |
