akteon Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 This whole thing sounds like it would make for a great reality TV series on TLC from the makers from Amish Mafia: GTA - Jersey Wars (the name cashes in on America's fascination with the Grand Theft Auto games and the Jersey Shore) It's the story of a young upstart street dealer of hockey jerseys, working out of the back of an Asian Starbucks. He's trying to provide for his family while living a double life and trying to stay under the radar of the maniacal Jersey Baron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus X-1 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I got a quick response the same day when I asked if he had the item......when I responded and asked about pics he disappeared and coupled with Kaiser's story, I'm not sure I want to get involved with this guy when I can use a reputable business. He may have the goods and he may very well come across for a cheaper price than RCS but it's not worth the risk/aggravation. That's adding an extra layer to the jersey-collecting onion.

hatryk Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 What the hell is an Asian Starbucks? Serves tea and egg rolls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 What the hell is an Asian Starbucks? Serves tea and egg rolls? I dunno, Kaiser416 said he met him at an Asian Starbucks, so I just assumed it was a Canadian thing, like Boston Pizza (which makes no sense to us in the US).

flyhighguys94 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 This guy is real strange. I had a deal set up with him when he first listed. 2 Blackhawks for $185 a gift and he would invoice me through PayPal. Told me he only had a few styles in stock. The last email he sent me was asking me if I wanted him to invoice me...which I replied "yes" too. He never responded again and that was this past Saturday. I'm definitely not sending him any of my money. Especially when he claims to have all this stock and continues to only list the Bruins. Something isn't right. He also failed to provide me any pictures of the Hawks jerseys, as legit as they might be something just seems off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser416 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I will delete my comments and apologize to the seller. Defamatory and hurting his business was not my intention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLFAN Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 "After all the negative info you have given to other people, i am not interested in dealing with you anymore"[/size] And that's the end of that chapter.[/size] Uh oh you hurt his feelings. Since Rivercity has these they will put them on sale eventually. Heck they had a sale just before Christmas for 25% off which would have made the non winter classic 2.0's $225 cdn + tax. If your in the states that would be pretty much what Shady mcshaderson wanted. Us Canadians would have to add tax which would bring it up to about $250.

OR68 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I will delete my comments and apologize to the seller. Defamatory and hurting his business was not my intention. Well if he raised prices after the fact you had a deal in place and being shady, then you really have nothing to apologise about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhg39 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 So let me try to understand. This guy keeps raising his prices after making agreements, meets in Starbucks, and not his actual store, and won't give his real name, but the person who points these facts out has to apologize?!

This guy keeps raising his prices after making agreements, meets in Starbucks, and not his actual store, and won't give his real name, but the person who points these facts out has to apologize?! I'm with you on this! Kaiser, you should absolutely repost what you had said. It was not defamatory or hurting his business. It was the TRUTH! The guy is a shady character that should be avoided, without a doubt. I mean, people here constantly pan Jersey Baron (who is actually a good business, but just has higher prices than people like so they whine), yet this guy doesn't stick to his word and won't tell you his name... That's actually the biggest point of contention, I think. How can he not even give you a fake name? This guy doesn't want to be traced, even by a fake name. Its not defamatory when its the truth. We all post feedback here about our transactions so that other members don't get screwed. Its pretty clear that this guy, through his own actions, is not a trustworthy seller and should be avoided. Just because he complained to you doesn't mean we shouldn't all be aware of his behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcat1988 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Am I correct in thinking that multiple users on the boards have bought from him online with no problem? (He's the guy with the Wild thirds, right? ) It seems like nobody has had an issue with his eBay stuff and the worst that could be said about him is he doesn't necessarily respond to messages about working offline deals/volume discounts. Frankly, there's nothing wrong with that. Sure, changing the price on an in-person transaction is questionable. I wouldn't personally do it, but as long as it's still his item, he can really do what he wants. The buyer isn't obligated to buy at that point either. I've had plenty of buyers agree on a price with me then at the last moment say they can't do it and offer me less. It sucks, but as a seller I still have the option to decline the deal. How many people were planning on meeting him in person? I don't see how him being "sketchy" in person impacts 98% of the users on here if he keeps delivering 2.0 jerseys for less than most via eBay.

I don't see how him being "sketchy" in person impacts 98% of the users on here if he keeps delivering 2.0 jerseys for less than most via eBay. Speaking from my experiences with him, he changed prices on me multiple times, pushed jerseys I didn't ask for on me, has lied and been deceitful. I was taking that into account along with several other members stories about him changing prices (flyhighguys, myself, and Kaiser) and making my judgment that this is stuff that should be made widely available to members to make their own judgment. I'm simply expressing my opinion that he should be avoided. None of this is defamatory or done with the intent of hurting his business. It is done with the intent of letting members know he has displayed shady behavior. But yes, I believe there are at least 2 members who have said they had positive transactions with him as well.
