Not knowing that Japhi was affiliated with Carolescolectables, I bought a Neo Bomberman Mvs Cart form them on Ebay. The cart was defective. I was pleased that they quickly responded to my complaint and seemed glad to replace it upon my return of the bad cart. That was 4 months ago. Upon my most recent email, I received the following response.

Brian,

Regarding the items, or item in question, which belonged to my son. I made a thorough
search for items that were purchased within the past 3-4 months,
and was unable to track down several items.
My son was run down by a hit and run driver 3 months ago, and
suffered some severe cognitive damage to his brain. While he was
in the hospital, his so called girlfriend, and her new boyfriend,
cleaned out his bank account, and anything else of value, including
several items that had been listed on ebay.
My son will never fully recover, and I obviously did not have the
financial resources to send refunds for the items that were stolen
at this time.
I have listed my house for sale now, in order to get the money
together to send out several refunds to buyers, and in order to pay
for medical bills, since my son did not have any medical insurance.
This is a very distressing situation, and I cannot do any better than
what I am doing now, in order to send out any refunds. However, the
refunds will be done. And that is all I can say at this time.
Also, as you can probably tell from looking at my ebay id, I have
not been selling any of my sons' arcade games anymore, because
anything of value that he had is missing-probably stolen, and he is
no longer able to conduct this business. And I have no personal
knowledge of where or how he had previously procured any of these items.

Does anybody know if there is any truth behind this excuse? I am skeptical given their shady reputation.

Any advice?

You'd think that if he was going to say he was seriously injured in a car accident, he'd at least keep a low profile.

Brian = the.bet, the person who posted this thread.
Japhei's "mom" was writing to him in reply to a question about a refund.

This Brian isn't the same guy that runs the Naomi site.

There's all lies I tell ya. This guy gets hit by a car on a regular basis. I bought a atomiswave cart from him months ago, and he gave me that excuse too plus 4 others in a spand of a months. Email communication suck. One of worst sellers ever. How I got my game/refund, I requested a chargeback from PayPal. And what do you know they emailed me instantly.

Then he got nerve to ask me why there was a chargeback.....hm let me think. :rolleyes:

Why did I dealt with him despite of all the negativity? I thought I give him a chance. And you know what, he failed. 1 strike and your out. No make ups. blocked his aim/emails from that time on. As long as I got my game, I didnt want to hear his pathetic excuses.

All scammers favourite stories are about some trategy, someone ending up in hospital... I never trust anyone who tells me that kind of story, it just makes me even more suspicious.

I have heard hospital stories from Ebay sellers three times so far, and actually I'm currently waiting for a console I bought on Ebay almost a month ago, and the seller told me that because he has been in hospital he could not send it. I'm now soon filing a complaint :mad: . The two other times I have heard hospital stories, they were just made up bs :mad:


the.bet you should have filed a complaint a long time ago and tried to get your money back.

If Japhei had really been hit by a car this often he'd have no cartilage left in his legs.

Well either that or everyone would be calling him "stumpy."

Yeah I had 1 guy who could not send the payment, due to him dying of cancer!

here's my advise.

1)Go to where Japhei lives. By car oviously
2) Wait until he leaves the house
3) Run the motherfucker over
4) Ram his house with the car, maybe you'll get lucky and run his mum over too.
You'll be trashing your car but it'll be worth it. Its for a good cause.

5) oh and hack neogeo2's site. that fuck.

You know guys this is some of the best drama I've ever heard so far I though that dealing with "buyrite.net" is annoying as hell (poor communication+poor quality) but this story is by far amazing than the rest. Well as the says goes :shame: thief will always lies and stolen, thats what they do best. So here goes the "Neo Nightmare" again and its hooking :mad_2: one of ours loyal neo-geo fan by the ass already. :crying:

I think Casey is trying to scam me now too. Anyone remember that SvC MVS he sent me to look at to give my opinion on authenticity? Well, he keeps mailing me saying he's never received the cart back.

I told him it is out of my hands and the best I can do is file a claim with the USPS -- which from what I hear, getting the post office to cover a package is next to impossible, so I doubt I will ever hear anything.

Well, it's out of my hands now and if he truly never received the cart, it must be the karma coming back at him.

Jeff
