Well, about a week ago, I asked about Magician Lord JPN. I really haven't seen any of these around. Not too long afterwards, Dion sent me an email saying he had one. Well, I told him that I only wanted it if it didn't have any stamps or stickers. He told me he wouldn't apply the sticker unless I asked for it, so I ordered the cart from him. Soon after paying for the cart, he informed me that he had a cardboard box Magician Lord in stock, and that it wasn't too late to get that one. I paypaled him the extra cash and the package was on it's way. Well, I opened the box, and look what I found. Not only that, but I also found it here.. Unfortunatly, I didn't realize that I would be getting the stamp because he didn't mention it. So here's the deal: if you don't mind the stamp, Dion delivers very quickly and offers good prices. Personally, I will not be buying any more carts from Dion because of the stamping. Its too bad really. I hear that his entire collection is stamped, as well as every cart he sells.

Many have said it, I'll say it one more time, IF YOU DEAL WITH DION, EXPECT TO GET SCREWED. So DON'T deal with him! It's simple, and easy. He has screwed many many people, why would you be any different?
If you ask for no sticker, hes gonna stamp it, if you ask for no stamp, hes gonna write his name in crayon. I wish people would get this thru their head, if you buy games from NGF, they WILL be marked in some way! Because their assholes! Come on people...

I really wonder not how many people will still deal with NGF but how many carts (i.e. percentage of total manufactured) went through their hands and are thus rendered worthless. It`s really a shame. Everyone dealing with them supports this. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Just one more reason to never buy anything from the ambiguous duo . . . there have been plenty of warnings about them, plenty of stories of people ripped off. The solution is to never send them a single penny for their tainted crap, no matter how tempted you are to do so . . . because as Wolf has shown, you WILL get burned!!

No way in hell is this your fault. Don't act like that girl who gets beaten by her boyfriend and then tries to place blame on herself.
Dion abused your trust.
Otherwise, I'm really srry to hear about the raw deal.
"DRAMA QUEENS" such as myself don't lend my "deepest sympathies" like you.
I RANT and RAVE so that threads like this don't have to pop up every now and again...
Hey Wolf,
Do people lending their "deepest sympathies" make those nasty lil' stamp markings diappear???
I'll answer for you.. of course not.
BTW way did anybody grab that TONK insert picture from the -BROKEN TRUST- thread??
If you have it could you please leave me some mail.
And EW you think this incident helps "my cause"? what is "my cause"? It should be "everyone's cause"
Thankyou-BB
More NGF bull shit!!! I swear these idiots are a pain in the ass. Everytime I buy a Neo cart I have to ask the seller to go over it with a fine tooth comb and make sure there is no sticker or stamp!!!!
Every time I sell a cartridge I get asked if it is freaked!! What are these two idiots trying to prove? Do they realize what this is doing to their business?
If I stamped a few games GamersAbyss and everyone I sent them to started complaining that would be the end of it right there!! Why does this continue? To be honest from a business standpoint I just dont get it.
They have enough problems with their name yet they continue <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Thankyou WOLF for bringing this matter to our attention.
I don't want my "rabid attacks" to discourage anyone from sharing with us these "unethical NGF practices"
I just hope alot of you collecters out here don't collect for "strictly value" only because things are going to get real ugly in the NGH market come 2002.

Easy there NeoDragoN, people do learn. I learned after Tonk's experience that I should not be surprised to find a stamp on my game. I paid for the game with full knowledge of the risk I was taking. I may not be happy and I HOPED that I would get a clean cart, but it's not like I went into this ignorantly. I'm sure I will not be the last to be disappointed, but at least I can help people's expectations when ordering from NGF.
A while ago, I put up a want ad for a US Fatal Fury 3. I got an email from one of them (don't remember, just remember the neogeofreak email address), and stood away from it because of what I heard (and because he emailed me with a high price). None the less though.. It's good to know I finally got one and it didn't have any stickers on anything.
hey bigbear, your cause could be whatever, but people keep trying to knock on NGFs door to do business.
you did.
keith did.
derrick did.
wolf over here did.
As far as I know, only I haven't.
Your mom and dad could have told you not to smoke, drink and fuck up through college, and you still would have. Sure, bad things can happen in any of these situations, but you know that people have to figure out what doesn't work for themselves. Who cares if NGF screws so many people? I guess a bunch of very nice people, who see the shit happening regularly, don't care much at all when it comes to $250~$600 purchases.
So really, your cause is fine, but people that you and I want to trust are still getting screwed by NGF's 'sweet' deals.
