About my traders reputation (RANT)

o.k well i guess everyone knows about mine and aarons deal on the tele. I had stated in the post about it that i was going to let everything out of the bag as soon as i had everything settled with aaron, which was my top priority. After everything was said and done, i just figured I would let it go. But now I'm pissed and i feel it's time to let the cat out of the bag on the whole deal. First off, after i got the tele back, i took it to a fender dealer whom confirmed it was a real fender body and neck but had cheap aftermarket squire parts on it, ie: bridge, tuners and such) but that is not the point, I had told Aaron from the very beggining, not after 9finger had contacted him) that if he were not happy i would give him a complete refund, which i did and gave him an extra $50.00 to cover his shipping expenses.

now for what got this whole mess started. As many of you know, there are alot of us that chat everynight on yahoo, and 9 was one of them. he had sold some items to members of the forum and they had waited for months to recieve thier stuff, all getting the same excuse that he had shipped it and it had been returned, we all got together as a group(around 9 people at the time that had dealings with brent) and it wasn't hard to figure out that no one had recieved what they had paid for and the excuse was always the same. i mean, c'mon, i know the post office makes mistakes, but do they actually send every item back to you? i think your full of sh*t. well at this time one of the people decided to go ahead and put brent in the bad traders forum, when 9 found out i had talked to all these people and figured out what he was doing he sent me a message saying he was going to ruin my sellers rep on here. i told him to do the best he could, but i just didnt see it happening, i have to admit, with the pack of lies you told aaron and got him fired up with your cut-n-paste yahoo conversations you did a pretty good job.


now lets go to ebay and why i was suspended. as most of you know man-in-moon is a good freind of mine. I had over 50 auctions listed and shannon(moon) wanted my les paul and my sunburst strat. he said he would give 300 for the strat and 450 for my paul. i told him, i thoughgt i could do better on ebay, but if he wanted to make an offer to go ahead and bid on them. he did and was immediately outbid on the strat and had the winning bid of $382.00 on the paul if i remember correctly. 9 sent me a yahoo message saying that i had moon running up my bids and he turned me over to ebay and filed numerous complaints until they cancelled my auctions over the controversy. well that also pissed me off, but i handled it without going on a rant and becoming beligerant.

now i have stuff posted on other forums as well as here and i go to check them this eve. and 9 has responded to them saying that the items are stolen and no one should do bussiness with me along with some more of his total bullsh!t. Thats what has got me going tonight.

so here it is people, the reason the deal went south between me and aaron is because of a bunch of lies furious9father,9finger,nosoupforyou, brent, or whatever your going by these days, got started out of petty revenge.

now i have one question for all who read this post. Have you ever bought anyting from 9? if so how long did it take for you to get your stuff and how many times did he tell you it had been shipped back. I know of at least 9 people, but i will let them come forward on thier own.

now what say you *******, i guess you'll come back with a bunch of yahoo conversations that you made up saying god knows what this time, but as you already know, i really don't give a ****. you're about to be exposed for the liar you are.

I'll never get those 2 minutes back.

Reputation = Perception.

Things have looked shady to me lately. Are they? I don't know...that's the problem.
 
Re: About my traders reputation (RANT)

No 1 buys your bull**** about jacking up the ebay auctions. I remember awhile back when someone had an ebay question in the off topic section you told them to just have a friend bid up the item, thats what you do.

you will never have to worry about drowning
 
Re: About my traders reputation (RANT)

I've never had anything but great transactions and conversations with Brent, while you've been a troll most of the time you were here. You were also really flakey about our deal for my PS2, which never went through.
 
Re: About my traders reputation (RANT)

I make my living based on my feelings about people and how to deal with them, and every fiber of my being told me to stay the hell away from hellrider77. Every word that I read from him reinforces that original instinct.

You'd be better served to just go away. You've already shown yourself here.

You may fool some, but you can never fool all. Even the ones that you fool will figure it out, sooner or later. If they don't figure it out, someone will and will tell them about it. Either way, you're screwed. It's better to just tell the truth, but I guess that we're way past that now. Some people will never learn.

Squier parts on an American body and neck? Only strippers buy the sympathy card, but even they don't buy it for long.

I never got past the plan he was hatching to blackmail a Judge a while back.
 
Re: About my traders reputation (RANT)

a bit of a tip for anyone who hasn't figured it out for future reference. best to conduct conversations on a trade via the pm at this website. knowing the capabilities of vbulletin, you can't edit or modify a conversation on here (you can modify and resend it of course but the time stamp will change and as long as original pm's were kept, you can't fake it)..but having been a trading post admin at a computer forum site using vbulletin, there were times to resolve a trading situation and he said/she said situations like this , the easiest thing for me to do was to have both parties allow me access to their user id, log in as them and review the pms on both sides.
 
Re: About my traders reputation (RANT)

I bought a pickup from Brent and it arrived here just as described. Sure it's not quite what I expected (more of a medium/low output thing, I was expecting something similar to a hotrails) but it's there, which in the long run is what counts.

Same here. But if you sell the image of the low life, how do you expect to be perceived? Go and sell it to the high school crowd....
 
Re: About my traders reputation (RANT)

Always had nothing but GREAT dealings with Brent A.K.A. 9Finger!!!! Whenever I have talked to Brent on the phone he has always been a straight forward no BS kind of guy! I have not ever caught him spewing any BS about anything!!!!
 
Re: About my traders reputation (RANT)

I don't buy a word of it. I've gotten to know Brent pretty well over the past year, as we talk pretty often online. He helped me a lot when I was building my strat, as that was my first experience with anything other than a basic setup. I've had several deals with him for pickups, etc., and he's even sent me pickups to try out at no cost to myself except to ship them back. He's a SUPER guy to deal with.

Don't try and drag someone else down with you just because your rep is ruined.

:laugh2: Learn something new everyday. With advice like this, Joe, where do I send the check?
 
Re: About my traders reputation (RANT)

I don't know all the details, or the people involved, and could care less to be honest, BUT, this is the BS that needs to go away from this forum. As long as I've been a member here, its been a great place to exchange ideas, trade, whatever....But if this kind of stuff continues, this forum will turn into a slamfest in a hurry and will ruin a good thing...

Just my $.02
 
Re: About my traders reputation (RANT)

I'll make this quick guys. Hellrider is ticked off because he was trying to sell his junk on another forum I frequent and I've known the guys alot longer than I've known some of the people on here. Basically I warned them of his "misdealings" and for the potential buyers, alot of whom I consider friends, to beware.

So he goes on this long rant etc... saying he's got all this proof that I'm a con artist and such. Basically a couple mediocre instances and takes them way out of context and makes them his own little thing to make me out as the bad guy. Doesn't look like that's really happening here but..... Whatever, is his story his world, he can tell it however he wants.

A big thanks to all that have stood up for me!

and to Josh, I'm sorry you think I ruined your trading rep here. I don't feel responsible for it all. You've brought this all on yourself in one form or another. I feel that I did the right thing telling Aaron what was going on. Like you said though. There are 2 kinds of people in this world, the ones that get stepped on and the ones that do the stepping. I'll be damned if I let you step on any of my bros, ANYMORE. Capiche?
