Sounds familiar

No need to worry, the damage limitation is done, he's impressed a few new customers who had nothing to do with it and that's what matters :rolleyes:

I think you'll probably get it but we've established it'll take more effort than it should :shame:

hey, sorry to have disappeared. Ive been out of town on business for a few weeks with only a stop at home to basically hit my own bed for a night and head back out. If it sounds fishy, check my eBay activity, havent been selling in quite a few days. havent forgot you Dave, a deal is a deal, when I pop a few pieces up and recoup the first 85 it is going to you.

Superpang, what I was doing wasnt just some gimmick, I am true to my word, I will come through. i put up my own cash to appeal to this board. I couldve gone strictly off my feedback and taken a few lumps from bad pub on here, but I took the rougher road rather than the easy road and am glad for doing it.

Im certainly not going to come this far only to reopen the same old wound.


So let me understand this correctly, when you recoup 85, your gonna pay Dave? I don't remember that being a requirement to you two coming in the middle to pay him half of what he is techincally due. If you do as much business as you say, your gonna hold off completing a deal until as you put it: Recoup the first 85 dollars"?

Right

Thats fine.... I just was wondering whats up since its been about 1 mo. Please email me when you can drop the payment.


As for Highlander, that guy is top notch. He is one of the best guys to work with on transactions. He is stating his point on what he read from the thread. He is not going off everything I have said..... and I don't want you to think that I bad mouth you behind your back because thats not it.

I do know exactly how much is owed though, but we are settling for half.... so we can go ahead and move on... which is for the better. The info I have is the same type info I would gather if I was doing price protection inventory and sending it to Ignition, or other various companies. We detail everything out like that in case of price protection situations, or situations like this, or when we need to prove exactly what we have / have sold (including inventory for Government purposes).

Anyway, I do await your email.. just keep in touch, thats all.

Hey straitfromjapan.

If you can't find those games you said you would look for (import saturn: fighting, shooting), let me know what you have in stock and I'll pick from those.

Just let me know.

Just my 2c but I wouldn't say you took the "rougher road". Personally I'd have been more impressed if you'd simply swallowed your pride and used your Paypal credit to refund voodu and resolve past complaints, no questions asked, rather than sweetening future buyers. Yeah, you're obviously conviced you're not in the wrong in that dispute but how you're so sure when comunication between certain people in your company has been so obviously shoddy in the past I don't know.

I think SFJ did the right thing. There was much confusion with this deal so he met him 1/2 way. (I dont think he even had to) I think we should just let them handle it and stay out of it. So much has been said already not much to add to it. I think we should just focus on the new deals from SFJ.

Just my opinion :)

if so, no refund received yet.

Yes, and I doubt you will get it. Scammers stay scammers.

Lets keep this at the top until he pays. When he does maybe he'll give you free overnight shipping on your refund. That'll make everything rosy :rolleyes:

My dealings with them happened to be before the current owner took over. When this thread came up they said that they would try to send over some of the games I ordered about two years ago when they come across them(Even though they state my situation was created by employees who do not work with them any more).

What choice do I have but to wait?

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Maybe I misunderstood... ownership never changed.... only some "bad employees" have.


Regardless... the guy in this thread is the person I was trying to deal with (along with his sidekick Tina... who supposively is now gone... and was the "bad one".) I tried getting my refund through this person the whole time.

Maybe he is on another business trip again... or is having a vacation or something. Whatever it is... he hasn't checked back here.

I hope I come off this as neutral as possible. Though maybe I should not even dabble in this. But after reading through all 7 pages. I think I have something to say.

I am possibly unknown here as well, but Dave has bought things off me before. A couple of CDs and Carts I think. So in a way, I had once been Dave's supplier. He is fair, fast to communicate and to pay. Yes. His payment is fast and no fuss.

What happened between Dave and SFJ is kinda muddy and I will not comment on it.
But all I know is that, it didn't come off as clean IMO.

SFJ came in all the way providing free overnight shipping etc. Yea, in a way it’s a good move to win some repu and support. But SFJ's action didn't settle the original sin.
Which are Dave's and Jack Burton's. I think SFJ should concentrate on these 2.
Since they had come to an agreement, I think it should be resolved in a timely and orderly manner, but this doesn't seemed to be the case, maybe SFJ is really caught up at this time. I will not comment further.

But Dave is more than just a money & business driven person SFJ. He is more of a friend to me. Through my own inconsistency logging in here and keeping in touch etc. Dave have dropped me PMs periodically and often checking in and asked me how am I. Advised me on my broken marriages which lead to my disappearance and heck care attitude in the recent years.

I am sure alot of people know Dave alot better than I do and had the pleasure of meeting him in person knows what I said is true.

That is all I wanted to say. And as I said, I am siding no one, and hope I have come through this as neutral as possible. But I just have to correct SFJ when he thinks that Dave is nothing but about money.

Have a nice day to all & Godspeed.

Benjamin


P.S. I have not spoken to Dave for a while now and neither did we exchange PMs or emails regarding this issue. No one made me write this other than me myself.
Sorry for making this lengthy, I always have prob finding the right words.

I thought Tina was gone? At least the person here said so....
Tina is still there?

Who did you communicate with?
And what happened?

The person you are referring to is no longer with us. There were problems with her. In the big picture, she did the right thing 99% of the time, but you only hear bad things about folks, the people who are happy dont have a reason to go to a forum to complain. Superpangs claim was 100% correct. We removed her from sales on the net after that. Someone else handles it now.

My partner is well respected by at least 20 stores in Japan and I am well respected in the Bay area as I worked for Network Video of Burlingame, Ca for 3 years before breaking off with Jason.

Quoted..... here is where the SFJ person stated "the person you are referring to (Tina) is no longer with us."

I thought this person was Jason the entir e time... but I missed the second paragraph stating "before breaking off with Jason."

Either Jason is referring to himself in the 3rd person... or this is Tina..... who is claimed to be gone.... or kicked out.

Who is it that is posting? Or was posting. I have only dealt with Jason and Tina... no one else.... so it has to be one of them.
