Who else has had the misfortune of dealing with this clown. I forgot to search his name on the forum before bidding on some companions for my dissected. I'm such an idiot. Is this guy mentally challenged or something? It's not the price so much, it's dealing with him that is horrible.

Yeah that's the weird thing, I have purchased a couple items in the past without a problem. I guess if nothing goes wrong then it's smooth but trying to reason with them is impossible.

I sold him a set of [expletive deleted] once, and I accidently forgot to pack one of them... on the day he got them, he left 6 messages on my phone (I was out), and he left a bunch of extremely childish messages insulting me in each one. He is a total ass.

Yeah that describes part of my current situation very well. Left something like 6 emails in the span of me going to KFC for dinner right down the road.......

He anonymously does some toy shows and I have met him....he's got an abrasive personality but I haven't had any problems in dealing with him.

But I'd like to tell him to stop posting those fucking Chum pins one at a time.

if this forum was replaced by phone calls only, I am sure it would be the same.

addude bugged me cause he'd bid up everthing, buy it all, then resell it at crazy prices...sometimes it seemed just to control it. I am pretty sure he's the dude that
single-handedly took all the yja bronze puskaws from 200 bucks to nearly 900.00 in one day. I mean, he has the right if he has the dough but it was aggravating there for a while. I am real happy he has opted out of toys.

I have had not good dealings with this guy a gew years ago - after an OK transaction, I spent a shit load on Toy2r stuff that only he had, and got completely shitty packaging (a bunch of toys shoved into a box with no packing around them, and a charge of $21 to USPS them across LA, some wre scratched and some were mising their own manu packaging) - when I complained he banned me form bidding on his items. A year or so later he had something I really wanted and a friend bid on the item for me, and the packaging had dramatically improved.

He used to have close ties with Toy2R and was friendly with some LA artists. He was very conspicuous with huge tables a few years ago at qeeology.

I had mostly good results from him when I used to buy from him (seems like) "years ago," although the packing was always minimal and crap.

I stopped dealing with him when he sold me some clearly used toys as new - they were dirty, scuffed and marked up, and the pictures didn't show it. After arguing back and forth, he ended up sending me a refund ALL IN PENNIES in a box. He must have spent a fortune shipping it to me because it was heavy. LOL! He ended up being a real jerk, I thought.

Good to hear I'm not alone. I'm being charged $35 for shipping two companions that are already overpriced 5 MILES!!!! I can seriously walk to Pasadena in no more than 1 hour....

I'm not really bugged by overpaying on the companions, they look killer with the dissected and I wasn't into toys back when they were released so whatever. It's just the lack of decency this guy seems to have for his customers. If I'm a collector and I'm paying you a shitload of overage for something you better at the very least be cool. Hate to rant about it but I just wanted to see what the general consensus was here as I haven't had a whole lot of trouble in my toy hunting.

Sounds like he is up to the same crap - $35 to ship some vinyl across LA? Pathetic! ANd Geo's box of pennies story? Basically a very naughty word containing 4 letters, and beginning with a "C" springs to mind - but thats cos I'm British.

just curious,
did you guys agree to pay these shipping costs as part of your ebay bid??

if so, you shouldn't be complaining.

if not, you have a legit gripe.

I dealt with him a few times a couple of years back, as he used to corner the shag market when it was in its high phase.
As it has been said before, not the best packaging. Trying to get an email back from that guy is like pulling teeth, unless as some of you have stated he has something wrong with the transaction.

He used to bid a lot of my items up as well Frank, only to drop out at the last minute. It's annoying when it happens, but as you said...if he ahs the dough..

I have picked up a couple of rare items from him, so I can't complain. Not great, not terrible.
