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.

All my bad experiences came from France so far. No offense to the good traders from France

Jeremy trades with titles he doesn't have and scammed many Canadians
One sent bad copies saying it's mint. How does 3x thor have loose disc and other had a dinged but no loose disc with no damage to the package it came in.
Marty also tried to do some trades but I didn't go through it. Thankfully

And sadly those were my only experiences with France members when it comes to trading.

That's not a really big surprise to me...

It's a joke :hilarious:
You don't come to French forums because nobody want your presence.
Please, keep your calm and your words.

It's none of your business.
He has just more 100-150 positive feedbacks than you ;)
 
I have traded with Marty quite a few times. I never had a problem. All trades were smooth. Chances are that a recent event brought about his failure or refusal to answer PMs. That would be my guess.
 
Anybody can have any problem in his life. I think the best way to be courageous is communication. this is not a reason to:
- No answering anymore to member
- No closing deals in progress

Anybody can understand that and be patient if there is any communication at least.

Very good points Laurent, and exactly the point of view we take on this forum.

We are willing to work with everyone and give them time to resolve their issues with other traders. But no replies or progress on pending trades for weeks on end is where it forces us to take action. :(

There was a personal problem around Christmas time, but he consistently delayed for over a month and a half, and when he was asked recently about the status, he wrote a rude e-mail back in response.

He owes members here over $200 worth of items and a number of folks on the french forum as well, so it just appears that he does not care about resolving those problems.

Daz, i think that is not interested here in going ahead with Ludo's reply.

i always had a nice communication with Marty McFly and i'm sorry about that situation for everyone. i hope he will find a solution to his problem and come back to close his deals.
 
Hi guys!

Just a little message to tell you that i had MartyMcfly on phone and there are some updates.

The package of TopCat has been shipped and the tracking number provided by PM.
Marty will send the package of Roseart tomorrow and i wait the adress of the last member in order to give it to Marty for the last shipment.

Apparently, Marty called Drum18 too and pics of the different packages will be sent to the different members, by Drum18 himself.

A solution has been found too for the french members so everybody will have his steelbook.

I hope this update will be appreciated.

Thanks
 
But why not Reply to PM's or emails from Admins? At least have the Cojones to update peeps directly and not let it get out of control. The name has been stained, that trust that once was, is no longer available.

But hopefully everything goes well and members get their items.

there is an Old Saying that my Grandma used to say to me :

Silencio e Doro (Silence is Golden) Country Dialect :emb:

But in this case, its not funny :)

I am still more cut from some guys who send me Rubbish , rather than any thing at all !@!

I did get a tracking number from one of the members , so , there is a Glimmer of hope yet ??

lets hope that its just a bout of embarrassment & all will be forgiven I presume ?

I am a bit of a Softy though , so only speaking for my self of course :scat:
