What games are you interested in? Most games are completed and in good shape

And to that my response was:
Mike Rubin <mikejrubin@yahoo.com> wrote:

I am only looking for games in mint to new condition. If you have any, please let me know.

Thanks,

Mike

Well....Pichai sold me some games alright... Baseball Stars Professional and Top Players Golf IN HORRID CONDITION.

Examples: GameDude Stickers, cracked cases, bent manuals, and faded inserts!!!

Now you would think that I would just take this in stride as a normal process of a fluke transaction right??

Well I normally would have, but by reading some emails you can see why:

Mike Rubin <mikejrubin@yahoo.com> wrote:

These are all in the plastic cases right? There are no card board box games, and sorry that I have to ask, but nothing is "Freaked" right?

And his response was:
hye kyong polprasert <hye_kyong@yahoo.com> wrote:

Mike,

Yes, These are original. With plastic case and original insert, manuals and original cart. I just double checked and Baseball, Golf are mint.

Just to make matters perfectly CLEAR to Pichai I stated this:

Mike Rubin <mikejrubin@yahoo.com> wrote:

I don't want to sound like a perfectionist, but I can't take Fatal Fury if the plastic is torn. I am trying to build my collection slow, with only mint to new games in mint to new condition. If there is something that you can do about it, then great I'll take Fatal Fury, otherwise I'll just stick with Baseaball and golf.

Thanks

NOW HERE IS WHERE I FIND OUT:

RESPONSE:
hye kyong polprasert <hye_kyong@yahoo.com> wrote:

yes, she was shipped yesterday. i'll send you tracking number whe i go out to the car

HMMM...when I go out to the car....That is when I started to think that Pichai would never screw me over..he has been a great seller from the start and there is no way that he would fuck me over...

Until I find out that he sent it to my school adress and was not able to check the package for about a week...even though he said "no problem: to sending the games directly to me:

mike rubin <mikejrubin@yahoo.com> wrote:

We have a problem. The games that you claimed to be MINT are not mint at all. Infact, they look like shit. I would like a refund immediately.

Please respond within 48 hours.

Regards,

Mike

Please send them back to me. Did you just get the games now?

No way in fucking hell am I about to send the games back and be out $130...

mike rubin <mikejrubin@yahoo.com> wrote:

I just moved back to the address that you sent them to. (I had asked you to send them to my parents house where I was, but you sent them to my school address)

Please refund my paypal account $65.00 and I will send the games in the same box I recieved them to the address on the label.

Regards,

Mike

Mike,

I'll refund you the 65 when I get the game back. I bet your happy now that school is out for the summer.

Nice try with the small talk Pichai:
mike rubin <mikejrubin@yahoo.com> wrote:

I will initiate a charge back through paypal by tomorrow afternoon if you do not refund me the money. YOU did not

provide the goods the way that they were described. There is no way that I am going to submit myself to a position

where you are in control of the money and the games. I don't want to have to go to the forums to relay our entire dealing complete with

all emails where you claimed that the games were "MINT" and arrived in USED condition. (cracked cases, no manual baggies, bent plastic)

Please take the responsibility for your mistakes and refund me the money. I have not done anything to spoil my end of this deal. You have.

Regards,

Mike

No look at what he says now:
Mike,

I just need to see if these are indeed the games I sent you. I have been in too many scams. Once I get the games you get the cash back. Those tray and plastic were not cracked when I shipped them. Those games were in great shape, not new like , but in great shape.


NOW I HAVE BEEN IN TOO MANY SCAMS YOU CROOK! THANKS TO YOU!

I have never fucked up a deal for the 2 years that I have been here registered at this site. I have always had a perfect track record and try to make sure to only deal with people that have a good reputation as sellers....

Pichai had one at one point...

Pichai-
You are a crook. I filed with paypal today to get my money back. I'll send your games as soon as the credit is returned to my account. I didn't want it to come to this, but I feel that everyone should know what you have done. I should have the right to smash the games into little pieces and send them back to you like that---but not so that you can try and FUCK someone else.

Mike, I'm sorry to hear that.

I remember seeing Pichai's name on some "Good sellers Lists" in the past months... just goes to show ya you never know when someone will turn into what I like to call, a "rotten apple."

Good luck in clearing up this mess.

I also remember a thread a long, long time ago about how Pichai is a bad seller.

Pichai sold me once an Aero Fighters 2 US.

I can't complain about him. He said it was without the manual and I didn't care that much.

The game arrived has described.

Sorry to hear that. :o

I'm not too happy about a recent purchase from Pichai.

I bought a Super Spy US from him and he told me it was in "complete and excellent condition", but the case looked like someone sat on it and the tray was completely shattered. I'm a newbie to the Neo scene, and I thought he was just a fly-by-night seller so I didn't say anything, but he sure wasn't completely honest with me either.

I'm sorry to hear that Mike, I've dealt with you and know you're an honest person and great to deal with.

Never actually dealt with Pichai, but only because he took what seemed like forever to tell me he'd send me my money order, and I got nothing. So I sat on the game a couple months or something and finally sold it to someone else. Whether ironic or not, this was for a brand new NGH.

Wow, everyday a new scammer is found. What a shame...

I have never delt with Pichai,
and very glad of that,
but I have heard many many BAD things about him.

He sold many Korean SS4 to many people like DreamH20 aka Mommywolf and some others, claimed it was the US version. and caused alot of confusion among the boards.

And he single handedly brought down the value of US SS4, because of his many bootleg korean SS4 which he bought over from korea.
For those of you wondering why SS4 have gone down in value

<img src="graemlins/shame.gif" border="0" alt="[Shame]" /> <img src="graemlins/shame.gif" border="0" alt="[Shame]" />

It is sure hard being an "AES collecter" nowadays...
I hope this situation is resolved soon...
You are both good people...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh huh...

-BB

Isn't Korean SS4 official release by SNK in Korea?

I too once traded with Pichai and, while he got my game, I never got his game.

Also, the EMS # he gave me was "not correct".

...

Ah, the Neo Geo...

Man this is getting really bad. I've dealt with both Mike and Pichai and have had great luck from both sellers. On one occation Pichai was slow to send me a few games where we just swapped a few titles. Gentle prodding got the transaction moving again. Personal problems on his end was the root cause. Other than that, I've had fast service when buying games from him.

Pichai Scammer Of The Month ?
<img src="graemlins/angry.gif" border="0" alt="[Angry]" />
<img src="graemlins/shame.gif" border="0" alt="[Shame]" />

i will settle this quikly and swiftly:

pichai (thats his real name) polprasert is a very bad seller.

my last purchase was severly botched. that jap sam sho 3 insert i bought was sunfaded. the old style caes i bought which were supposed to be mint looked like crap. plus the contact time was absolutely horrid. that one deal took almost a half year to complete!
STAY AWAY!

I am a little upset why so many accusations were not brought up earlier?

If you all brought up these sour deals with Pichai, could of easily prevented Pichai from ripping off his customers from this borad.

I remember when Dreamh20 pointed his finger at Pichai, alot of people took Pichai side instead.
Where are these people now?

I'm right here to defending Pichai

I've bought several AES games and two old style cases, they all in mint condition.

Only once I didn't receive my stuff on time due to his auto accident, as I first posted this in Unrelated Topics months ago.

Here comes the question:

How come people didnt' say anything about bad deals with Pichai before but until now?

So is this "speak your mind and the rest will follow" shit?

Mike, hopefully everything will be solved peacefully between you and Pichai.

well excuse me if i have a life out side the computer. i am hardly hear any way. wit school, work, and the surgery i just wen't through i have not had much of a chance to go on the net.
bottom line. my first purchase from him was eccellent the second was utterly terrible.

I would have said something earlier except the first games I ever bought were from him and I didn't know any better. Now that I've bought games from other great sellers like Suechi and GamersAbyss I can say with experience that he is either A) not entirely honest, B) is not aware of the condition scale on this site, or C) has terribly bad luck with his neighborhood Post Office.

Neoman and liquid snake, you ask how come no one said anything before.....well I did....there was a post last summer and even then 3-4 people expressed disatisfaction.

Although I lost only $22 on foreign exchange after pilchai pulled out on a deal "cos his family were moving to korea".....it took another 2 months before I got a refund.....and like I say I had already lost the money on postage and foreign exchange buying dollars, commision etc.

I never got an apology....instead Pilchers called me "childish" for stating what happened on these boards. Even though I had waited patiently for 2 months before saying anything.
