Dion's Funny Little Letter!!!

I had a letter forwarded to me for laughs from a buddy of mine and I thought you folks might get a kick out of it. The person who sent it to me doesnt post here anymore so I will keep his name to those who it concerns and Shawn if you would like to know who this was sent to just e-mail me since your name was mentioned you have the right to it. Ok here is the Brag Fest.

Subject: largest NeoGeo eBay auction
I just read the post about the largest NeoGeo AES collection auction on eBay. You're right, it was my auction.
It was in February of 1999 and at the time included every AES cartridge available (both regular and converted). The auction was for I think 127 different AES cartridges. The reserve was for $24,000.00 and the auction closed at $22,500.00. It was for the complete Japanese collection, and it WAS sold. I in turn bought back my entire English AES collection, and then later rebuilt my Japanese collection back up again.  For that deal with the buyer, we made an arrangement where the buyer paid in 5 easy payments. The buyer got a ton of extra NeoGeo bonus goods such as promo flyers, posters, a NeoGeoWorld Power card, a NeoGeoWorld grand opening pass, and many other little collectible items. This person is still around to this day and has over 140 different AES cartridges - and you know of this person. All in all it was a fabulous sale.
 
I can also remind you that Shawn McClesky started his collection at that time. That is how we met him (through that eBay auction) and in turn sold him over $7,000.00 worth of games in the very beginning, followed by another $5,000.00, $3000.00, $4000.00, $1600.00, $4000.00, $20,0000.00 and then a last $3500.00. There have been many other miscellaneous purchases from Shawn that I am not listing because they were smaller deals ($500, $1000, etc....).  All in all, through eBay, Shawn contributed over $50,000.00
 
Feel free to post that little piece of information. And thanks once again for posting that to remind all the newer people of the older history and how some of the newer "big collectors" got started.
 
thank you,

PS. In NO way do I support this ass I just thought you would all get a kick out of it.

I'm waiting for the peanut gallery response on this. <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

Damn!! The guy just wants to brag away. The hell with him.

Oh one more thing, this is not a stab at Shawn but a example of what the Big Tymers are saying behind the scene's.

That was very entertaining. Thank you.

He's been known do to that. One time he sent an "official response" to me and a few other members (this was before I was a mod here) in order to 'prove his side.' I did the same thing you did and posted it here with a little pre-post jibe.

You got one of these types of letters in the past huh bobak?..LOL

Does this moron realy still think he has a reputation to uphold in the gaming community? I truely dont see why these 2 jokers at NGF just dont give it up. If they dont think a couple hundred people a day posting on the biggest Neo BBS what crooks they are has hurt thier business, they really need to be carted off to the rubber room!!...LOL.

If I had the business reputation these 2 have I would deffinately find a new line of work.

I find this e-mail funny for this simple reason, look at the detail and how he wrote it like he is telling a story about the good ol' days...LMAO!!!

Sorry NGF but the good ol' days are over and have been for a long time!! Sure I have no doubt you will read this and I am sure you have made a bunch of money but by scamming you killed your business rep and the days of big money deals are over for you.

Another thing!! Those 2 fags are huge. My question is they got to be doing steroids. I mean how do they find the time to work out when they're entire time is spent with the Neo, doing deals, rewiring joysticks and systems and what not and playing neo games. It doesn't make sense.

He claims I sent them $50k, yet also says I was not a good customer.

This message was received 3 months after my last & final purchase from ngf. I haven’t sent a dime to ngf is nearly two years now. *Non ngf buyer since: 2/09/00*

Go ahead and TRY to find the official US/English releases from some other place. Seeing as we are the neogeo’s future, we will be your only choice. You are NOT a good customer anyway. If you were, we would have been nicer to you. You should NEVER bite the hand that feeds you. You are a very small tymer in the Neo scene and people follow us, NOT you. What do you have? a little webpage and some measly cartridges? Anybody can make a stupid webpage and own a few cartridges. There are over 30 people with 130+ "different" cartridges. You still don't have 100 different games - do you?

Say goodbye to the "Complete collection" if that is how you feel.

The NGF staff.

LOL they are Neo Geo's future? If anything I'd consider them Neo Geo's demise, with all that ridiculous stamping graffiti!

NGF are thieves and liers...

And obviously suffers from split personalities. Never dealt with them myself and never will.

This is indeed some pretty funny (in a sick and demented way) stuff!

It's so funny reading Dion's emails.Really.

Funny reading about him stating Shawn is a little collector!

Dion and Chris don't even have a complete US carts collection and Shawn is one of the very few persons around who really owns,besides a complete jap collection, a complete US carts collection!

LOL, another time. I have to say Fuck you Dion. <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0">

WRONG. It's not that simple...
NGF is a "whore" in need of financial support.
What people need to do is heed the warnings and DO NOT SUPPORT NGF and they will crumble!!
The "awareness campaign"is necessary for new people entering our scene so they don't get ripped off -OR- have to end up "groveling" for satisfaction.

Just when I thought these 2 couldnt get any funnier, Shawn comes in and drops those 2 bombs...LMAO!!!

My God!!! What a couple of true idiots...LOL. They are the Neo huh? Good Greif!!!

It is funny to see them call someone a bad customer!! I was never under the impression a customer could be bad? Can someone explain to me how this works? You spend a ton of money wanting to get what you pay for and that makes you a bad customer?

These 2 idiots have no business sence what so ever and if someone was dropping cash on me like they claimed Shawn did I would fly them out personally to get thier shit, give them the red carpet treatment, take em out get them laid, whatever it took to satisfy the customer!!

I think it all boils down to this!! Your not a Big Tymer till you buy that Crossed Swords 2 AES cart...LMAO!!

Fools!!!!

lol <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
