That would be great to have a webpage or a link of fraud/scammers aka LOSERS that steal other peoples money.  Put their real name, address,contact info on there and watch 'em squirm.  Maybe we should list Amiga Inc for that $50 deal.. LOLOL j/k

I have a few good members to add, EzdineG being one of the good ones and a few more through ebay.

Bad: Maxxdoo


Maybe a PHP site to where you can keep a database of users/transactions that way it can be updateable.

EzdineG:
Ok, I emailed another ebayer that recieved his item from maxxdoo.. I did some lookin' on the net and found his # to his house, which is different then he has listed with ebay.

I will call him throughout the day until I get a hold of him.  I'll find out what the deal is.  What is your ebay name that way I can ask what is going on?  Cyberus, you too, I will ask if I get a hold of him unless any of you want his direct # I will post that also.

UPDATE:
his email is not only u2zippy@juno.com but also CHURCHTUNA@yahoo.com

Well, I called Sheldon Garcia fyi 815-961-0625 (different then the # listed with ebay) just now.. 10pm Central time..I dont know what time zone he is in but they kept hanging up on me so I kept calling and calling, then I stayed on when they hung up, so they'd pick up and notice they didnt hear dialtone so they'd hang up..so then I called and finally got some girl (wife?) and she sounded asleep..LOL.  Sheldon wasnt there but I said my name and said I along with a few other ebayers have not recieved our items, we're looking to get them as soon as possible, pass the message along.  I'll call back many times during the day until I get a hold of him.

Edzine, Cyberus:  I got a hold of Sheldon and he was saying he was having problems with his email or whatnot and he can only converse via ebay 'contact member'.. So do that and ask him whats up.  Cyberus, I take it you're the overseas guy, he said your stuff is going out (both of you'alls) that it should be going out by Monday.  And Jeff (local guy here in my city), your stuff is going out also..albeit slowly but its getting done.

BoingBoss:  Was that pic of you in your avatar really you? (the one next to the C=64)?  Cause if so, no offense, but I would probably laugh if you said you were going to kick my butt.  I think we need some meaner lookin folks. LOL  :-P

BukkY: nobody is going to get beat up, even though I would be angry enough to deliver a pounding if someone stiffed me of my money... I hold the Amiga seller above a 'regular seller' and expect better conduct out of them in regards to shipping/not scamming people etc.

As for Doomie delivering a can-of-whatever you said..are you sure he didnt drop the can on they way to delivering it?
I'm sorry, I just dont see a guy like him being mad enough to do that.  Maybe take your pocket protector or something or flick your ear...  

(Boingboss, all in fun!   :-P  )

Cyberus: I recieved my items and my friends items already.  I will call him today to see what is up with your stuff.  He said he was refunding someone their money but I dont know who.  

EDIT:

I bought 2 A500's and 1 AdRAM 540 for $70 shipped.. since it took so long he shipped 2 more A500's.  (no psu, no mouse)... you'all are probably thinking wow, great deal right?  Well.. one a500 had something spilled on the  mobo and the aluminum enclosure underneath was rusted as was the floppy drive cover.  Two more had some sort of 'Frankenstein' work done to where almost every chip had 'stand-offs'..some sort of spacer about 4 per chip.  1 mobo had almost all socketed chips removed, one had quite a few missing etc.  
Another thing..
he enclosed a Trifecta ICD psu, a ISA memory board, two C= psu's (I dont know what for..they're in the dumpster now) and he wants me to send some stuff back.  I almost feel like sending back junk.  Ie. A different 'black' psu, some other junk ISA card and stalling him for about 1 month.  But that wouldnt be right..or would it.

Sheldon,

I am disappointed that you didnt tell me that these
amiga's had alot of chips missing.  I will be lucky if
I piece one together that works.  A rusted Amiga 500,
thats not right to send that, obviously someone
spilled something on it.

On a similiar note, the guy in UK said he has not
recieved anything, nor heard from you. What is the
status of his Ebay items?

"
i will send you 2 more boards, sent you 4 for the price of two & a add
a speed chip too. i will send a email with the USPS tracking info, to
the UK. thought i had don so all ready. i will send out the 2 other
boards by Friday.
Gods speed."
 
==============================================

Funny thing on the "speed chip".. its a stock 68000 w/a AdSpeed sticker on it.. LOL.  I told him to CC me on the tracking # he sends you.

thats what he was implying yes. but when you look at it, its just a 68000 cpu (or whichever) with the sticker..the board itself is not there.  I will take pictures of the stuff I got from him and post them later tonight.
