    Ebay thread and off-site drama like that PM should stay from it's site of origin as the rules of these boards state.

    I don't care how big of a douche this guy is, homophobic slurrs are always uncalled for.



    Normally I'd agree, but this line makes it pretty damn relevent:

    Wow man sorry you had such a bad experience! Tell ya what, swing by n pick me up n we can go pay him a visit lol! Really tho, you need to listen to the two guys ahead of me and watch how you handle this info! I'm really surprised the mods haven't chewed your ass off. Anyway, the guy's an idiot. Either that is his real info and he's desperately trying to throw you off with his reaction or he really is throwing his fam/peeps under the bus which is pretty lousy too!

    You are absoloutly right, i apologize and changed it.

    As for personal info, have a little empathy here guys, i have been contacted by 4 other members who could not contact him any other way but through here so giving someone a little hell for stealing your money ain't as bad as getting robbed!!! One guy was out $480 and had no idea how to correct the situation. This is more than a forum but a community and if someone got screwed by someone on here by such a degree i would like to be aware and give support not critcize the way they are handling it.

    As for the ebay stuff we all shop for our goodies on ebay so it is related and he has 3 different accounts so now you are aware.

    Think about it guys, if i didn't put this info up and you were doing a trade you have the addresses from this douche to avoid. You could be doing a trade right now and not know it's him because he has a new account but at least you have the info.

    Knowledge is power.

    Thanks for the info, ignoring any trader/seller that lives within a 30 mile radius of Alton, Illinois .....

    Sorry for your loss, doing straight trades is hard sometimes. I got screwed over once with a trade. Thats why I only try to do trades with people who have a high feedback, maybe high post count, and mods. Always pay with GOODS, unless you can trust the seller and dealt with them before.

    Sorry to hear about that, I just joined, but now I know not to trade with anyone that I can't trust, or that i'm absolutely sure is a credible trader, thanks for the heads up :thumb
