The Member: ghettod
The Item: Faselei

Ok. Remember about 2 weeks ago ghettod was selling neo pocket stuff on the neo pocket board (which was against the rules, but that's minor...). He was selling the UK version cart only, and I bought it. I had someone who wanted to buy that and cotton cart only UK from me for 100$. I recieved the game, US version. Today, I messaged him saying that I wanted a refund because I got that. Here's what he replied...

WHAT!? Listen man, the us version was never made i bought it as the Uk version
and thats what it is, so maybe you should check around and get your shit
straight before you start making assumptions, and man do everyone a favor and
dont buy shit from anyone on the webb cause i think your to young to handle it.
I was lucky to still have this message, because he recently unregistered but my email message kept this. He isn't in the directory anymore. It wasn't much lost, so I am not dying over it, but the member that wanted faselei and cotton dropped out and a friend in real life quit the deal. I'm not going to sue, I'm just not happy. And also, his message is utter garbage, he obviously doesn't keep up with the neo pocket. There is a US version, his frickin version had an ESRB rating on it! Just felt like tell this to the rest of the members.

What a PRICK. Did you happen to keep HIS e-mail address. If so, post it so we'll know it. Also, if you have his full name & home address that would be helpfull. Just in case he registers under a new name.

The game only costed 35$, and it's mass selling by videogamewholesale for 15-20$. I don't have his email, I don't have anything but his board name. I'll try to see if I still have the packaging. It's not that bad, I wasn't ripped of much, but still, it's bad.

that's a huge shame..Did he include a return address on the package? If so, let us know what his name is, so even if he signs up with a new name or is frauding on ebay as well, we can keep a look out.

no matter how much/how little the amount, you should always get what you paid for.

As long as we are on subject, might I ask what makes the UK version of Faselei better than the US? Apart from the fact that the UK version is more rare, is there any other reason collectors hold it at more value?

All the US versions are cartridge only, UK Version comes in clamshell case and is a lot rarer in both complete and cart only form.

Well, I recieved the game, and there's no difference, it's just that I lost money and now the market is saturated with it. It does suck though

It sucks you got ripped off and the way he handled it was very unprofessional. He advertised a UK version and that is what you sould get that is what you paid for. He is a rat bastard who sold something knowing good and well what it was and knowing that he was trying to pull a fast one. I hope he slames his nuts in a car door.

Sorry for the hositality, but I hate scammers.

the seller somehow now has a new name, he replied to my other topic on the NGPC board. I've PM'd him twice, it says he's read them, but he still hasn't refunded me
