This thread has been created to provide insight for folks trading and buying. Sometimes knowing that a guy/gal has some or MANY successful trades/sales is good peace of mind.

IF THE PERSON DOESN'T HAVE LOTS OF GOOD TRADER RATING FEEDBACK, AND YOU DONT KNOW THEM, THEN PRIVATE MESSAGE a Trading Moderator. We can try to get you the info you need to feel safe and or make a safe trade/purchase!

As we all know, trading is at your own risk. However, we are able to stop many deals from turning sour if you enable us. We have one bad person who has been a scam artist at many HT/Blu-ray sites besides ours.

**************************

The posts below are from when this was a Good Traders/Bad Traders list ... from the date this OP has been updated ... this thread will only serve as a Buyer Beware and Hall of Shame for those bad traders out there. If you need info on good traders view their trader rating under their avatar in the post bit (to the left) or PM a Mod.

I suggest you PM a mod for any deal over $75 if you dont know the person, regardless if they have 3 successful feedbacks etc. This is YOUR community as much as it is OURS, and we'll make the time everytime to make it as safe as possible for all.

Added 1/23/2012:

Just a general reminder - If you are experiencing difficulty with a trade at our site, feel free to contact a Trade Moderator, and we can provide suggestions on how to resolve the matter, if the trade took place at our site.

If, despite repeated attempts to resolve the trade/contact the trader, you do not receive any communication, or items, etc, please use the Feedback system in place at the site, or the rest of the community will not be aware of issues with traders. In addition, you have a limited time frame to file Paypal disputes, so please familiarize yourself with that process, just in case, to further protect yourself. In addition, the Staff will take action against accounts for repeat offenders if absolutely necessary.

Yeah, we warned them over there about this and they didn't listen. :(

Sorry that your friend got scammed. I saved a member here from that same mistake, but only because he had posted on that guys trade thread about the same transaction. :ohno:

By the way, both the aklass and vrising logins are still active over there. If you check Cees trading score, you'll notice that both of those logins left positive trade feedback.

Thanks for posting here - and just so it's clear, I make it a policy to not visit that forum at all, but someone drew my attention to the Cees login a while ago and I did some digging.

You definitely did Karl. Feel free to PM me or another mod here if you have questions about any trader on this forum.

And my note of caution with trades - unless I've done trades before with the member and he's listing a whole lot of high value steels, it's best to do some investigation before sending the funds straight away.
 
Frigging people with no dignity piss me off. I am having trouble with a person from germany. pennymclaine is the user. They sent me the g1 version of death race. Complete BS and they stated the emobssed version and even have a picture of the emobossed OOP g2.

I emailed and explained I am a collector and know better and this was there response.

"i have bought this in the media markt"

I am giving them until the end of the day and I contact ebay.

I forgot about that. Deathrace and zimmer 1408. I can't even remember if I sent payment or not. Shoot me a p.m. with the info if I haven't.
 
I saw a couple of Hilton on that list. IT"S NOT ME. If anybody wants to check my ratings on Ebay. User name is rhiltonflix.
 
With zero feedback, I'd personally stay away...there are others who are much more established, that occasionally have these titles-just set up alerts. Good luck deciding!
