Is there something I should know about Tonya & Mark (assuming you mean the Tonya over in Michigan)? I've been buying from those two with no troubles...

Mike B.Well Texas will definately be a place we will go to, cos a good biz contact of mine lives there (fencert off ebay), so i will be going to see him and his wife, and would love to drop over while i am there Mike....maybe nearer the time, we could arrange to get the other guys together and meet up n stuff.... that would be seriously cool !thx for the offer Alps. funnily enough, i do know through a friend, of someone who is actually sitting on FIFTEEN ST1's They choose to remain anonymous, so i can't tell - only that if he/she ever falls into financial plight, they will sell them off 1 by 1 to balance the books......tsk, tsk.....Al
Badmike wrote:Well, it's not a Jonb situation, but we give her a hard time because the shipping is ungodly, and the more you buy the more you have a good chance of paying a disproportionate amount of shipping, because as explained by Tonya she has to pay off a packer and a lister for a buck a package and a buck a listing, which makes guys like me wonder how a starving college gal can afford her own staff when after 7 years I'm still going it alone with occasional help that bascially "works for food and rent" instead of a buck an item...Mike B.

Badmike wrote:Cool, I live across town from Fencert (Aneoth has been to meet him once or twice I believe to pick up some JG goodies) so you'll be in the Dallas area. Definitely keep us posted, you'll be real close to King of Pain, Aneoth and me....a pickup game of 1st edition may break out, you never know. And as for the guy sitting on 15 ST1's....he's a better man than I am. I don't know how I could sleep at night sitting on such a bounty. Mike B.

Hense the motto on their auctions.They even sent me a picture 'this is me'. I feel sorry for the guy who's had his photo nicked.So what I see is a couple of guys in a friend's bedroom with an internet connection and a plan to rip off buyer's, both fantasizing about some romantic notion of code and honour, and j*ck off to pictures of young soldiers on the internet.
Badmike wrote:Well, this story takes an intriguing turn. Perhaps Jon's brother IS dead, killed off by either Jon himself or Jason, who were having a torrid affair, because the brother (original owner of ETC and Game Emporium) discovered them handling up on each other while surfing the net checking out pictures of marines. I don't know who did the actual deed, Jon or Jason, but obviously both have sworn silence and are cohabitating (as witnessed by the different people you've called all saying they are "Jon"). I wonder how the brother's wife, was her name Susan, fits in though. We havn't heard from her, so I fear the worst, perhaps she's inhabiting the same shallow grave as the Game Emporium owner ; and Jon and Jason, the loving couple, continue to sell off their ill-gained booty. OH, what a tangled web we weave....Mike B.
bclarkie wrote:eBay Feedback Profile for jonb7839Yet another neg. This one because the buyer hasnt received the item also in 7 WEEKS, and yet another retaliatory negative feedback. I guess sfter 7 weeks of non-reciept of items, negative feedback is still not justified in jon's mind. What a f*ckin idiot.

Only very few Acaeum members bought from that thief, the majority stayed away.i agree with Ralf - thankfully most of us here havent been lured in and suffered for it.that said though, i have a comment about his inability to ship things. quite a few times, he has moaned about being totally overwhelmed with stuff and not being able to stay on top of things. well tbh, he's just talking utter shite there. i don;t ever rate myself in the selling range of badmike or the coug etc, but i sell a fair few things, as well as holding down a full time job, looking after my kids when they are here and having a life too....now frankly, if i can keep up with things, i am pretty damn sure he can, so if he is using that as an excuse - its a pretty bad one, cos its not like he has sold THAT many things. personally, i think it really is just a blatant excuse and he had no intention of shipping them in the first place - as ralf said, just abusing the platform and taking money from unsuspecting buyers.the sooner everyone wises up to the guy, the better.Al
