Title: I mean, REALLY?!?!
Post by: J-Golden on July 04, 2011, 11:27:49 AM
I've heard of some spiteful people before, but this takes the CAKE!

I have no issues with his asking pirce, I just can't afford it.  What really galls me is that he states:
 
1) If item does not seel it will be relisted WITHOUT owering the price.
 
Ok, that is fair I guess.  Kind of a jerkish way of putting it, but it IS his and he can ask what ever he wants for it...
 
2) If it doesn't sell the third time it will be destroyed. :angry:

      F!!!! :madashell:

Really?  I mean, REALLY?!?!?  This person has either got to be really mad at the world or is trying to guilt Amigans into buying it so it doesn't "die".

Personally I would send him a message via ebay telling him who cares and hoping it doesn't sell and ask him to post pictures on a forum of him destroying it.

After all it is his and if this guy thinks that by putting garbage like that in his listing it is going to force someone into buying it then I really hope he doesn't make a sale on this item.

He sounds like an ideal Sales Rep for CUSA. :)

It's his loss. He owns the item and may do whatever he pleases with it. I hope that anyone who does not agree with his practice simply won't bid.

I hope he's not serious, or more perfectly fine Amiga gear gets destroyed :(

Doomy is from Oregon isn't he? Also:

1. Threatening to destroy hardware which doesn't sell for the asking price
2. Collectibles and models in his previous sales
3. Pedantic comment about the cost of tape in his feedback

Certainly sounds like him.

Yes it's Doomy just check out this fine example of d*uchebaggetry....pasted directly from his EBAY feedback...


Shipping way overpriced. Refuses to refund difference. Cost him $2.58 to send. Member id save2600 ( Feedback Score Of 1068)  Apr-06-11 07:59
 Reply by barrie97124 (Apr-06-11 09:22):
No it was not. You failed to consider the cost of box, tape, labels, ink, fees.

He will sell of some stuff wiht this ID screw over some folks then cancel his account but not before placing a smirking photo of himself in the profile pic.

DANG!!!  I've only heard of his shenanigans but never saw it firsthand like this!  What even worse is that the guy he ripped off is our very own SAVE2600.  Probably one of the nicest guys on the forum...:(

It has to be Doomy... if you look through his feedback he's been selling the exact same model trains he used to sell on his online shop, looks like the DoomMaster is alive and well and still up to his old tricks. :eek:

Doomy's model trains on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160576145565#ht_500wt_1330)

Really, I don't like save2600 at all, because I am one of the nicest guys on the forum. How dare a slacker like you call him one of the nicest guys on the forum, I take deep insult to this.

SMERF!  You of all people should know that even though I call someone else "ONE" of the nicest people on A.ORG, I reserve the title of THE NICEST for sweet, innocent, cuddly-wuddly, snuggly-wuggly YOU!!!:rofl:

DOOMY!

I hear about this guy every now and then. Looks like he gets around and maintains popularity, even after having been banned from nearly every forum under the sun.

Looks like Doomy's sales tactics must have something going for them, the board just sold a few seconds ago and has been saved from the crusher.

Doomy's Board Sells For $182.50 (http://cgi.ebay.com/CyberVision-64-3D-64-Bit-Graphics-Board-Amiga-/160612070238?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256539b35e&autorefresh=true#ht_500wt_1156)

The description does look like Doomy's work but, I find it hard to believe that he would have 44 positive reviews.

Hahaha! Awww, shucks.  :lol:

Yeah, I didn't know that was Doomy when I bought that SCSI drive off eBay. Gotta love his latest advertisements. Totally gives himself away now, which is a good thing so people know to avoid at all costs  ;)

He probably threatened the people and said that if they did not leave positive feedback that he would harm more Amigas.

I'm not at all a violent person. More of a vege hippy to be honest, but for DOOMY a swift kick in the nuts followed by furious face stamping would seem quite reasonable. It's not that I've had any dealings with him myself but his review of Amiga joysticks that he put on youtube wasted several minutes of my life and melted quite a few brain cells, the rate of cell loss per second was offensive to say the least. No, don't go and look it up on youtube.... seriously! Don't do it! It's painful and probably the most boring thing you will ever suffer. Headbutt a wall instead or shoot yourself in the foot with a nailgun, you'll enjoy it a lot more. How that guy manages to live with himself I don't know, A1200 was bang on when he said DOOMY was mentally sick.

@DavidF215:

Oh, I understand that.  But just because it has a valid name/category doesn't make it ethically correct to use.

Getting a response by targeting a person’s Ego is underhanded and cheap.  To use it for something that doesn’t NEED it(I’ve always held the 64/3D as one of the best ZIII cards out there) also shows the sellers true colors.  It just feels like the tactics of an oily used car salesmen.

As I said in the beginning, he is either mad at the world, mad at himself or just plain MAD!
