Man is that a shitty trade….
I paid $400 for my consolized 1-slot and I though that was a bit steep. Even on the low end MS3 + 4 are worth more than that. That’s sad to hear…
What the fuck. There you satisfied?
WTF :kekeke:

That was a terrible trade, BTW.
i should sell my neo, itd be some nice cash. :annoyed:
kpj you fucking bastard.
Ironicly, I've been debating seeing if Kenny ( or maybe D-Lite) would be up for trading my AES+all games for either a supergun+MVS or a consolized unit.
Given the horrid AES market now, I'd be willing to take the loss of money value.
Pretty soon KPJ will be taking the deed to your house :chimp:
As bad as the current AES market may be,Boog could've easily gotten over $500,at the very least,for that bundle.Quote:

What a shameless son of a bitch.
Honestly, I'm fully open to trading stuff and I don't look to rape people. Trading is a good way to move stuff and get shit you want to play or maybe sell parts of. If you are serious let me know what you have/want homeslice.Quote:

Yeah, but that still makes one person an opportunistic tool, albeit less of one.Quote:

2. Bobak shows a rare flash of unsubdued emotion. very refreshing.
drama.. it seeps into the soil. sprouts all over the internet. incredible.
True, my AES set up ( and Boog's ) is worth far more money than the trade. Problem is, try selling an AES now. I'd rather take a loss in money to get what I want now rather than wait months on end trying to sell my AES.
I'm not saying Boog's trade was good or fair. It wasn't by any means and I can see how Boog would be an easy person to take advantage of, which like Big said, makes it worse. I doubt Boog had my logic in mind when he did this trade.
I cant believe in what I am hearing. I am really shocked guys. WTF...is right. :eek:
I've traded MVS setups for AES collections...
People say the AES market is in the gutters but cheap games still run in the $30's/$40's.
kpj is shady, that's nothing new.
This was boog's fault, it would have been nice if Kenny let him know that was a uneven trade. I wouldn't feel right after doing a trade like that.
That's just plain wrong, a mint Metal Slug 3 alone is (and was) way more valuable then any consolized MVS, let alone all the other stuff included in the trade. A point that I'm sure wasn't mentioned when the deal was done. That's just taking advantage of someone who was clearly uninformed.
Perhaps we don't have all the facts of the transaction. It's hard to believe someone would rape a fellow Neo fan so blatantly. That's not cool.

Yeah that trade is pretty shitty. But thats how most successful business people get the big bucks. By screwing the little guy. It also earns them a special place in Hell :very_ang: ;) :loco:
Kenny would probably sell his first born for cash if he could.
The Legend Never Dies!
I think this is a shitty trade and I personally wouldn't do something like that to someone, but let's be honest here. If it were anyone but KPJ and any one else got fucked besides Boog, we would probably just be calling the guy a dumbass.
I don't know much about KPJ's business practices and I've never cared. But if he's offered such a good trade (for him anyway) you can't really blame him for doing it. Yeah, telling Boog the trade was uneven would have been the right thing to do, but Boog should have researched his trade too. I don't think you can place blame on either side completely.
The idiosyncrasies or ng.com are beyond the point, the bottom line is that someone got ripped off.Quote:

I don't care if he once upon a time tried to pull the wool over my eyes - I can deal with that. but doing Boog over is sad.
Is it possible he did not know boog's attitude? I agree with you, doing something like that to someone like boog is not cool in the least, but I wouldn't demonize KPJ over this just yet.Quote:

If he can sleep at night, that's his own business.
The rest of us know better.
What do you expect from someone who can sell a 2slot for $600+?
How could he not have known how boog thinks? It only takes a couple posts to see this.
:oh_no:
I can't comment on this. Knowing what little I know about KPJ I'd be inclined to agree with you, but I can't say for sure. But if he did make said trade knowing about Boog's trustworthy attitude, well, that's just shitty.Quote:

Since they both agreed on the deal...then its a done deal. If Boog thinks it was a fair trade then I guess it was to him. We may see different but he made the decision to do it. Whatcha gonna do! Once boog reads this thread then he can put his opinion in this.
its bad enough to gouge another member from the scene but to gouge boog, who is known across the land to know little about the value of things...
its pretty bad. you gotta have an evil soul to do such things. :smirk:
kpj should be banned for this, who agrees?
someone else sell him a cracked AES, someone. come on! i wanna see it done. i wanna see someone else sell him something botched just to make a laughing stock out of him again....mostly cause he refuses to buy from me again. guy's a shameless prick in my book. and really someone who needs an ass kicking.
