Made a deal in the middle of January to buy a modded Dreamcast system off of him. Throughout the beginning when I would ask questions he'd take a day or so but still get back to me. After two weeks of waiting I asked where it was and he said he'd been out of town and it had gotten returned to him. He then said he'd send it back out asap. Well, that's pretty much the last I've heard about my Dreamcast. He claims there was signature confirmation, along with a tracking number, but of course, he can't find it. He's promised to give me a refund if I hadn't gotten it by Friday but again, I can't get a reply.

So I'm offering this up to others on the board as a warning, not only from him, but others who may act shady like this with late replies, constant excuses, etc...Here's his info if he happens to go by any other alias':

And if you're reading this Hobgoblin, I'd still like my money back, just hit the little button that says PM or Email near the bottom of the post.

I have never bought from hobgoblin.

Late last december, I was in talks with him about selling him the Consolized MV1-C saturn i was finnishing...

I quoted him a price and had consistant communication with him. He did say he was going to take it. Once it was complete, I sent him pricing and payment info. I never heard from him again. I specifically emailed and PM'd him asking him if he still wanted it. If not please just let me know.... He never answered any of my PM's or emails....

After that I decided not to even think about doing any biz with him despite the fact that he offered many items I was interested in. All he had to do was say "sorry I am no longer interested". But someone who dodges me like that, i get weary of.

Norton9478, please forgive an uneducated swede, but what is a Consolized MV1-C saturn?

It sounds like a hybrid between a neo-board and a sega saturn :D

Another newbie here and I also got scammed by Hobgoblin. He was supposed to send me a boxed set of Transformers: Headmasters DVDs over a month ago. He said he was going to refund both Omegasaber and me last week...still waiting

MVS board installed under a modified SEGA Saturn shell. Ready to play MVS carts straight from it.
