dockeryfan Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 So I started a thread ages ago about a couple games I was looking to add to my collection. (I actually screwed up my copy of Superbowl XXVI, so if someone is a member of TYT and wants to reseed, muchas gracias) ANYWAY, I actually paid this guy a little money for a copy of the NFFCG from 1982. INever got it. I sent him a PM as a follow up, he said oh, my mistake, I'll send it again, don't worry about it, etc. Never got it a second time either. So, anyone else been burned by an ES member?

The 12th Commandment Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Actually quite the opposite. Despite being here 2,000 plus miles away from FedEx an ES member sent me one of the 21 towels from last year. That was an uber cool thing for him to do. sorry for your misfortune, he's probably a cryboy troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I stepped on TLC's grill once, does that count? I didn't get burned, but I melted a small part of my sneaker. Seriously though, that does suck...why aren't you posting a name and allowing mob rule to take over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 drop a name and let the mob sort it out seriously though, sorry to hear about your troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yeah, I was at the Tailgate and I think someone burned me with their cigar... Actually I've been only helped... Got Dallas tickets in '06 for face, got Dallas tickets this year for below face ($60 each for $64 tickets, I was willing to even pay for the PG tax) the only stipulation was, NO DALLAS FANS...

Kosher Ham Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 It happened to me before. Tickets for sale and I was buying multiple games. This guy completely flip-flopped on me and wouldn't return my PMs. I even asked him about it in the thread. Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yes. On one of the few occasions that I've sold my tickets. I was stupid, (naive?), enough to let the tickets go before I got paid, because the game was so close and I didn't want to them to miss the game. I eventually got the money, after several PM's and e-mails. It was uncomforable and somewhat embarrassing. I didn't call them out on the board, because I finally got paid. That was the next step. Now it's strictly cash, money order or certified check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zguy28 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Nope. Never have. I've been blessed. Techboy took me to the Dallas game last week. Even though we lost, it was still cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Unless there are extraordinary circumstances, (sickness, death in family, etc.), anyone who burns a fellow member needs to be banned for life. I know that's not feasible though...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Nope. Actually the ESers I've interacted with locally and gasp, from the People's Republic of Calif have been as nice as I am. We traded custom Redskins stuff and Beer Steins we had made when we were in Ramstein and Hoenfelds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockeryfan Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 just tell us who it is and let the public flogging commence. lol, I didn't think that was right. If you're really interested, you can PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 lol, I didn't think that was right. If you're really interested, you can PM me. I would suggest you PM the person, asking again for the product or your money back, and tell them that if you don't get either back within a reasonable amount of time, your next step is to go public with their name on this board. That's a carrot and stick approach that is entirely fair and reasonable, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I sold my Steelers tickets to an ESer at face. After that I saw a trend of him buying and reselling in the Classifieds at profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sorry about that, but in this economy, you gotta make a buck however you can... If it makes you feel better, I only got 200% markup on them instead of the 300% I was looking for... Yes I'm joking in this post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Jam Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 This reminds me.. The two people or so who paid me for all the games this season, I need you to PM me your addresses. Pronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 One time an ES member was kind enough to send me his original VHS copy of a game for me to copy and send back. As I was setting it up to copy, we had a sort of emergency (involving DLSF, this was years ago), and I left his tape in my player. It ended up being taped over several days later. Damn! I bought him a retail version of the game on DVD. What else could I do? I still feel kinda bad about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 No, I've only had really positive encounters with ESers away from cyber-reality. I've found them to be generous and very cool. From Pez and Huly, to Gbear, Techboy, Donita, Bang, and a host of others have been very kind and fair to me in every way. I have worried about it though. When I bought tickets from an ESer, there's always a worry in the back of my head that the ticket will not come in time or be fraudulent, but luckily paranoia and cyicism have never become reality (knock on wood) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Absolutely. And I'll call him out on it... Who Del. "I've always used protection and I just got tested. I'm clean" my ass. I hate you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
