Okay, I had a not-so-great transaction with SNK-NEO-GEO back in July. At first, I didn’t want to make it public to the forum, because I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. In light of his recent stunt on in the following thread:

I want to bring a sour transaction I had with him to the forum’s attention.
Back in July, I bought from him a lot of 7 AES carts on ebay: Among the carts were Last Blade 2, KOF 2000 US, and 5 others (Last Blade, Sam Sho 2, Sam Sho 3, Sam Sho 4, and World Heroes 2). I paid $1000, plus $30 shipping.
At the same time, I also bought a lot from him of NGCD games (an NGCD and over about 30 games). I paid about $700, plus $50 shipping.
As for the NGDC games, one game, Art of Fighting US version, was missing. He stated that he could not find it but would send it when he found it.
As for the AES games, in the item description, he very clearly stated, and I quote, “LAST BLADE 2 IN NEAR MINT CONDITION COMPLETE.”
When I got it, there was a long (one-inch tear), in the cover, as well as the plastic part the holds the cover to the case. The cart was very clearly NOT IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, though he stated that it was.
I filed a paypal dispute on both the missing Art of Fighting CD, and the tear in the Last Blade 2 (which he stated was in near mint condition). I requested compensation for both the missing CD and for the tear. I requested a partial refund. He did refund me $30 for the missing CD.
However, as for the Last Blade 2 cart, he refused and instead insisted that I send everything back for a full refund. I eventually resolve the dispute with him by closing it because I didn’t want to send the whole lot back (two reasons: I didn’t want to lose money on return shipping, and I also still wanted to keep the KOF 2000 US AES cart).
At the time, I let it slide (for the two reasons mentioned above). However, in light of his dishonest stunt in the other thread, I am making this transaction known to the forum. Not only is his bogus story in the other forum, not to be trusted, but neither are his item descriptions. He will state that an “item is NEAR MINT CONDITION” when it has a big tear in it. So be doubtful of anything he tries to sell.
