Did anyone get their games from DrNEoGEo? If so how do they look?

I would like to know if you got your game from Flo and if they are as mint as advertised. I figure that some good word of mougth will help him move the rest of his stuff.

I ordered 3 games, and just got my tracking #, but have yet to see any reports of how the games stack up...

I know I could have put this in the selling forum, but I want more people to see it.

Thanx Al. To be clear, I am not worried, Shawn says the guys is legit and that's good enough for me, just curious really.

Anyone else care to share their experience?

Got a trackingnumber, and will have the stuff on Thursday by noon.

Will post the results then.

Two other users have gotten their stuff and I have reason to wroory and hope.

It seems like 80% of his stuff if super mint and 20% is not even close at all.

Did anyone else buy any of DrNeoGEo's items?

My post is written English, is it not?

You see, most people would have gathered that I asked how many and what games were purchased and what they looked like if I sent a PM or e-mail or text in the chat room.

The two buyers that did get their games from him (that I have had a chance to chat with) bought 13 titles between the two of them.

10 were mint (or at least close enough that the variance between peoeple's perception could be taken into account)

3 were UGLY and in very good or so condition.

That boils down to roughly an 80-20 spread.

If that does not make sense to you, then I will send you pictures using colored blocks to illustrate my point further.

I got my order and it's something of a curates egg.
Only a few of the games were not as described... but then I didn't expect any of the games to fall below expectations.

Disappointed.

I should agree with you that's a legit fear and to be honest why I started the thread. I bought 3 titles from him and don't want to be unhappy, but now am figuring on one of them being less than advertised.

Well if your pushing a 20% dissapointment ratio then you really shouldn't have to worry as that is one in every five carts, and you ordered three. So chances are pretty even that you'll be fine.

That is sort of true (remember 20% of all game he sold), and worry is an irrational thing...

Well, I bought two Sherlock, and I'll be sure to let you know if they fall in the 80% mint category, or the 20% not mint category.

Christ, the only reason I brought up the stupid % thing is because you were annoying the fuck out of me. Not only did you cry in Flo's thread, but you created this nonsense.:oh_no: :oh_no: :oh_no:

Well as one of the 2 people he has spoken to in this nonsense as you put it I think he has a right to be concerned.

The Magician Lord I got from Flo (carton box version) was actually in pretty damn rough shape and considering the descriptions given and prices asked then like Tarma I am also disappointed.

To make matters worse I sent Flo an email just asking if there was some mistake and he simply replied "Game was mint" and I haven't heard from him since.

@jeff_mangum

You're obvioudsy an extremely simple fellow with a very limited power of analysis, so let me break this down into chunks that your small mind can handle:

I clearly stated that I talked to 2 people whom bought 13 games and as of that point (i.e. as of when I did the post) roughly 20% of the games I had knowledge of were not in good shape, and 80% were as advertised.

Flo has/had for sale roughly 200 games, so based up on the data I have, it looks like, roughly 40 out of 200 are going to be far less than mint. And yes, 40 out of 200 is 20%. That means that you might get of that 2 mint or 2 non-mint titles. The number of games ordered does not really dictate that. Based upon the info you have a 20% chance of getting non-mint games even if you only order 2. Get it now?

Me crying? Not at all. I was told my package woud ship last Thursday and it finally shipped today (despite me getting a tracking numeber earlier). Maybe you don't know this but I sell stuff on these forums all of the time. People buy from me beacuse I ship within 24 hours of getting their payament, e-mail them tracking info and tell them when it will work and ship products that are always 100% as advertised. As a buyer I get nervous when 5 days pass between supposed ship dates and others report that some of ther games are not up to snuff.

The loudest voice is the one heard the most. I posted both in a thread of my own making and also in the selling thread started by Flo. Bear in min that the thread (as of thsi writing) in the Sales forum is 55 posts long, andI wanted to be sure as many people as possible see it. So, yep I am out there making some noise, glad you noticed. Even dim-whits like you benefit from me getting people talking.

Furthermore, I made this post for 2 reasons:

#1. To help people that might buy from Flo make the most eudcated decision possible. NG.com users watch out for each other and that'd why this site rocks. For every post I do like this asking questions, I do 3 posts bumping other sellers for being great.

This is not my first post like this. I did the same thing with *chucky* a while back due to bad report I was getting. I did not accuse him of anything, just asked question and laid out the facts. In the end, it all worked out and people that bought *chucky's wares were as far as I know happy, but early on there were questions that needed to be answered. To be clear, he's a GREAT seller IMHO. This is no different. If the games are not mint and you get one or two liek that you will thank me for watching out for you as you will be able to approach the situation with a lot of knowledge of the seller's practices. Agina to make this simople for you, if he sells a lot of poor games to people, you have a stronger case than if you're the only one, get it?

#2. To get an idea for myself of what I might expect. I bought Blazing Star, Metal Slug X and World heroes 2 Jet. The former 2 are expensive and after hearing from some people that they were not happy I have been asking around to try and figure my chances of getting mint titles. Needless to say I dropped a chunk of change on my purchase. So yeah, I am worried.

I hope this makes more sense, short of getting a coloring book for you to play with while the adults get some business done, I'm not sure what else I can do to keep you from spammig my thread.

In future, just read what I write. And you really should keep your mouth shut; when you open it you just end up sounding foolish.

Still (and I am not kidding), I hope you get 2 very mint games.

No one deserves to get ripped off.

Actually, the point I was trying to make was this: Shut the fuck up until you receive the games.

But you're too busy coming up with new and inventive ways of calling me stupid to realize this.

So let me say again: Shut the fuck up until you receive your games.:smirk:

You know you in the end only told me to shut up (and even then only for a while), so my last couple of posts must have finally made a break through (it seems that's the only thing you could come up with) The elation I feel right now I imagine is much like that felt by He;en Keller's teacher when she first learned to use sign language.

Back to your though of "shu tthe fuck up":

Is looking for info to help make my expectations (which were sky high) realistic is bad?

Nope.

Giving others info on a new seller is bad?

Nope.

Did I say anything about him that was not true or laced with negative opinion (as opposed to fact)?

Nope.

Did I ask others to share what they had happen?

Yep.

Why don't we both agree to shut the fuck up and when our games comes let's post here again.

Fair?

No hard feelings on my end BTW.

;)

I am glad you made this thread. It is very helpful for a new member like myself who wants to get quality merchandise and a smooth transaction. Keep us posted on your items when you get them.

Not trying to get in this arguement or be mean at all, I just find this statement funny. For him to get a coloring book while you adults get some business done. That business being buying video games. Sorry, it's just the irony of it all.

When people are spending hundreds and in some cases, thousands of dollars, whether on games, cars or roofing, it is all business, if you follow what I am saying...

And with that kind of money, this should be taken seriously.

Stillit is humorous in the way you mean.

I know that kinda cash is serious. It's just funny that we Neo owners take our video games that seriously.

Well, at least he bothered replying to you.

7 of the 14 games I bought were less than mint (as described).
The 7 'unmint' games range from ok to excellent at best. And a few of the other 7 barely scrape into the mint catagorey.

Certainly not collector quality games...

I will run a chargeback for the whole lot if I do not get a satisfactory result. :(

I thought Dr. Neo Geo only collects prestine mint Neo AES games?
Isn't that what he used to say? Plus he puts every single game in a plastic baggie?

Why all of suddent his collection shifts from "collector" to "gamer" condition??????
