BOGUSS!! Got my Lik(my balls)Sang PSP Confirmation letters

This is absolutely ridiculous. I emailed them that same response with some colorful language to boot. FUK-IT I'll just have my buddy in Japan pick one up for retail for me. I hope everyone else slams them with hate mail too, maybe they'll wake up and realize that cant be pulling this shit. Anyway here is the two emails I got from them... I cut the last part out on the first email as all it was was how to pay us for our (huge PRICE JACK that we instated because we LIK-Balls) stuff. I really hope that Play-Asia and NCSX dont pull this crap, if anyone has a confirmation letter from them with a reasonable price or un-jacked price from either of these other companies, please share it so that I can email that to LIK-Balls.com and pound them with hate mail. Enjoy the reading...

EMAIL # 1



Dear PSP SUCKER,


Please ignore this email if you decide to wait for the PSP price to drop down BECAUSE WE JACKED IT UP SO HIGH YOU CANT AFFORD IT,
or reply immediately if you ARE A SUCKER AND want us to process your order still before
Christmas.



The first deliveries of Sony PSP Value Packs are now getting in and will soon
be ready to ship. Because of the shortage and other circumstances described in
our recent PSP updates and emails, the price is unfortunately hiked and will
stay like this until early next year. At this point of time you have three
options:





Option #1: Get your PSP shipped as soon as possible

---------------------------------------------------



- Only "Value Packs" for ONLY TWICE WHAT IT COSTS RETAIL $529 (EUR 398/GBP 275) can be shipped currently

- Only Ridge Racers or Vampire Chronicle can be shipped ($59.90)

- Please confirm which game you want us to ship, or if you want both of them

- Other games will soon be ready seperately (Free Shipping Worldwide)

- Due to the shortage, the PSP price will NOT drop before next year

- Only insured UPS shipping is available ($30-$40 depending on location)

- Credit Card or Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) to HK only (payment in US$)

- Other items in your order will be separated & process within 5 to 14 days



Please reply to this email and tell us that you want us to ship your system. We
will set everything up for you and keep you informed about the status.



Please keep your confirmation email as short as possible and confirm without
asking questions that are already answered in this email or in the PSP Update
on our web site. This helps Lik Sang a great deal in providing fast servicing
of answers and rush processing or the orders.



Important: There are tight deadlines and only the fastest ones can make it to
the first shipments.



Sony PSP Value Pack Content:



- PSP Hardware (PSP-1000K Value Pack)

- PSP Memory Stick Duo 32MB

- PSP Headphones With Remote Control

- PSP Soft Case & Hand Strap

- PSP AC Adapter (100V-240V, 50/60Hz, works worldwide)

- PSP Battery Pack

- Free Travel Plug (to fit in your country)





Option #2: Keep your position & wait for the price to normalize

---------------------------------------------------------------



- Due to the shortage, the price will NOT drop before next year

- There is no guarantee when Sony will make more units available

- If you decide to wait, you will not loose your position

- Other payment and shipping options will be available next year



If you choose to wait for cheaper stock to arrive, there is no need to reply to
the email, as ignoring the first launch offer still lets you keep your spot in
the reservation list. If you decide to ask questions, we will reply to them
once the initial mass shipment has left our warehouse and all first-release
orders have been dealt with.



Please understand that this is the only way to get thousands of PSP systems
shipped in time.





Option #3: Cancel your order

----------------------------



- Even you cannot accept Option #1, it is not recommended to cancel

- The market will clear early next year, no new orders until then

- You can secure your pre-order position and continue monitoring

- Cancellations can be done automatically in your My Account

- We will never ever ship your order without your permission



EMAIL #2

Dear PSP SUCKER,



If you decide to go ahead, your order requires a manual authorization of your
credit card. This is carried out in order to verify your identity and to
protect against credit card fraud on the Internet.



This process is similar to the type of verification used in restaurants and
retail stores. Your order cannot be processed without the requested documents
due to current billing policies.



Some of the reasons why this is sometimes necessary are:



- If you are a new customer to us, and we cannot verify your address
electronically.



- If additional security measures are indicated, either by the product type,
the total amount, or other factors.



Your credit card has not yet been billed. If you decide to get your PSP now,
please supply the following materials to Lik Sang, and we will process your
order manually:



(1) A photocopy of this credit card (front and back).



(2) The card owner's signature.



(3) Write your Lik Sang order number (302337) on the same page.



For your convenience, you may send these materials to us by E-Mail if you have
a scanner or digital camera, or by fax or postal mail:



- E-Mail: psp-manual@lik-sang.com

- Fax: +852 3015 8461



Postal Address:

Heh, fuck them.

I got the same bullshit email a while ago. Totally fucked up. The shitty thing is there are plenty of people out there stupid enough to buy one anyways, and as long as they continue paying whatever price, these places will continue this insane price jacking. I was reading the post over at Play Asia about their price increase, which is the same as Lik-Sang's, and one of the very first comments to that post was some idiotic nutsac who asks " When will you be sending the email confirmation, I'm ready to pay any price to get my PSP?"...... FUCKER's like that are the reason they jack the prices like this, and make everyone else sit around waiting for the regular price. If these fucks would refuse to pay like most of us we wouldn't have this kind of bullshit going on...

Here is a copy of one of the letters I sent to LIK-SANG. Hopefully others will do the same?

Dear staff or owner of Lik-Sang.com,

This PRICE JACKING is absolutely RIDICULOUS to say the least. It is completely unfair that you do this! The whole idea of a pre-order was to get inline and get a good price for a PSP before anyone else, and if you failed to get inline then unfortunately you have to wait till more come in. I didnt put my pre-order in because I wanted to pay double for the PSP. Jacking the price up is BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE and that is putting it nicely. A retail store in Japan does NOT jack the price because of this, I know this to be a fact because I have friends stationed in Japan and they have confirmed this to be untrue.
I really hope that you change your PRICE JACKING policy for the better, as of right now many of my friends that pre-ordered from you will not do business with Lik-Sang or any other import company that pulls this crap with them. And using the analogy that the PS2 or any other import system went through a PRICE JACK when they are released is nothing less then a STUPID EXCUSE to screw and sucker the customer into beleiving this is normal. Whatever happened to GOOD and HONEST business practicing for the customer at hand? I specifically pre-ordered for a reason, a good price. Do you think people would have pre-ordered if you said you would JACK your PRICE to double what the PSP would cost at retail? HELL NO nobody would pre-order with you or anyone, so think about that before you expect your loyal customers to buy from you or for that fact spread a good word that LIK-Sang runs a honest and true to their customer business. Because of right now, it appears your are screwing the customer badly and for that you'll lose business, and in addition dont be fooled thinking that the word wont get around on the interent about this. Have a good day!

Best Regards,
R.Mac

You should have put some harsh profanity in there.

My first letter had some choice words. I encourage that others do the same. Keeping the letter clean however does get the point across in a mature manner. Heck just copy and paste my letter and change the companies names if you need an outline. I think my letter got the point across in a professional manner showing that I the customer am the bigger man when it comes to business.
I have to write letters to vendors and companies all the time as my second job, and beleive me there is a mature and professional yet sarcastic way to get your point across without profanity. And many times, that speaks louder than profanity.
Plus I think my first letter didn't get through and it gave me time for my blood to cool down.

I sent an email similar to that as well, but I doubt seriously that it gets read or even replied to. Upon looking over at other forums, there seems to be more and more idiots that are willing to pay the price Lik-Sang is asking. I'll find a thread that is titled "Lik-Sang PSP pre-orders" thinking I'll find more bitching about the price jacking, when all I really find is posts of dumbasses just asking if anyone has received their confirmation email yet, because they are going to pay any price to get their PSP. All of the replies say they got their email and have forwarded the $529 saying, yeah it's alot of money but they just want the system now and it is well worth the price. So all our complaining and bitching is mute as far as these places are concerned, as there are obviously more fuckers out there willing to pay these prices for a PSP than what Lik-Sang etc, have available stock...Truely unbelievable...I never expected as many people to actually pay these prices without blinking an eye.

You should reply to those posts thanking these assclowns for screwing everyone else. In addition state that "dont they think that if they didnt fall for that PRICE JACKING " that not only would if force the Importers to lower their price for everyone, but they would get one at a reasonable price and save them money? Sometimes idiots like that have to be told that so they see things in perspective. It is jackasses like that that screw the rest, instead of standing up and fighting for whats right they give in and fuck everyone else. You should reply to them with what I said, maybe they will change their mind and get the point. Its a big maybe but its better than nothing at all.

I hope they get burned in the end...

Stinking, money grubbing, fat chinned mother fuckers... they know they don't have to sell as much PSPs to make $$$ since they basically doubled the prices... so they can still get out their inventory without selling much.

Personally... If I was really into fucking over people online etc... I would do the same damn thing by buying the Japanese PSP at retail... and sell on e-bay for "buy now" for $500! ... Man that would make a killing cause there is an infinite supply of dumb Asses on e-bay.

I preorder a PSP + memory stick + Vampire Chronicle: 321 $US

Play-Asia send me this:

"As the originally ordered item is hard to source or extremely overpriced by our vendors at this time, you may select an alternative to speed up delivery of your order. Please check the price on the alternative product carefully, however."

Now, for the PSP ONLY, its 489 $

I just cancel my order, and bought a AES on Neostore (235$)

Amen.

After my letter, I got a letter from some Rocco person that he went ahead and canceled my order. So I write back and say, "I never once said cancel my order, so reinstate it"! I just love people that assume, I had better not loose my position because that F^CKER assumed I wanted to cancel.
But on the bright side I have a tastey pre-order at EB Games with Mercury. Its just so far away until we get our port-gaming pleasure.
