Sellers to Avoid

[Gingerman]

Thanks for the advice Charlie
I saw that Mercury Rising too and an audible "Whaaaa..." came out of me.
I tried phoning them, was forwarded to a messaging service.
Just sent them an email.

Any word on this? Thanks BTW

I sent a message via the submission forum on his website last night after I asked.....I had a response when I woke up this morning.
James Valk wrote me back and confirmed his site is alive and well. He also said if I have any specific questions about any poster to feel free to ask...
SO.....maybe somebody will order from him and get him off this list?? Okay okay okay...I will see what he has!

[Hicks77]

Do I smell... ?  That's cool he got back to you quickly.  I'll try sending another

Well you need to educate yourself Richie.  You know it's worth $800 if some dealer lists it for that much.  Bet you can't buy it for $5 now!  Cinedave might be able to get someone to spend $800 on it.

Sent a mail about shipping, heard back a few hours later

I really think that is a typo.... 800. Add a decimal 8.00....

We all await the seller's answer / explanation with bated breath.   

[Hicks77]

Seller wrote back about that $800 Mercury Rising to say "Unless Bruce Willis is delivering it in person, that must be a mistake".

[Gingerman]

I made a small order to test the water.....it wasn't one of the $800 dollar posters either sorry guys.

[Hicks77]

thanks for taking the plunge Gingerman!
I was thinking about it but the shipping to Japan makes it a bit too steep to just "see how it goes".
Hopefully it turns out well

Chris,

How did your order we these folks turn out? Poster as graded? Shipping adequate? Thanks!

Just in case you haven't seen it on MOPO or the forum that has no name, I had an unpleasant experience with this dealer - beware!

Uffff that was awful Charlie. Thanks for sharing. In really sorry to read people can get things so so so wrong...

I hope Matias was OK you spelling out his name in full in the forum prior to doing so. I strongly suspect most people don't want their full name listed, especially by someone else.

I also think putting private emails out on to a public forum is also a no no.

The group that left APF have a different way of thinking and I can see why they click over there.

Apart from that, the seller sounds incompetent, and uses well worn excuses, but if he was out to scam, I doubt he would have been in communications for as long as he was. Good to get the heads up on the seller. I think he said he was using a friends PayPal account, all a bit odd.

Sorry to hear you have been strung out for so long.

This weekend I'm leaving 2 eBay negs for a seller

[erik1925]

I also purchased from this same seller (coolposter1975/Nicolas) on several occasions and (knock on wood), everything always went fine, from good communication, to quick shipping and solid packaging with tracking #, so the exact opposite of what you went thru, Charlie.

Hope it all works out, in the end.

[Crazy Vick]

Just another reason why some threads should be open to members only...

I bought a poster from matias 2 months ago and all was super smooth

I think Matias was fine with it.  We've chatted.  I didn't catch the one full name from the seller - removed it.  I actually edited most of the private exchange between Matias and my self (left out the good stuff), it was just to show how bad this guy was and really showed how great a guy Matias is.  Even dragging Matias into it with a COD package that he then had to ask me to pay for...  Matias was communicating on my behalf like a good poster buddy would do.

As far as the e-mail between me and the seller, fuck "no-no"  I gave him a lot of time to rectify it.  Nothing personal in there except him visiting the beach, it was all business.

But if you didn't find a negative with something Steve, you just wouldn't be you.

Yeah, I had him pegged as a reputable dealer.  I'd made a few purchases in the past as well with no issue - one reason he had my e-mail address.  Yeah and I've gotten what I am going to get.  My biggest complaint was that he would not refund me when I asked and he could not deliver the posters he sold to me.  He essentially forced me to pick posters from what he had to make up what he owed me.

Woah.... Matias is the hero in this one. He actually communicated with this Nicolas guy on my behalf and then took the time to receive the posters and send them on to me... 

[Crazy Vick]

 
Oh sorry. I didn't read that right.  Must be the new color scheme.

No problem man!

Ive never understood that tactic either. Picking from stuff you dont want or have an interest in is somehow supposed to make up for specifics you were offered, bought and paid for? Not good biz, in the least... give me what I ordered or refund me my $$ back.
