Hey,

This guy decived and ripped me off VIA Ebay. Read the auction descrition and then look at the actual cart scan I made. This guy is a loser. A game has to have a end label there to be in good condtion you prick. The label is ripped right off on the top portion of the cart and there is ink and chewing gum on the label. I ever emailed this guy before hand to confirm the contion of the cart and he screwed me.

Here's The Ebay Link & His Photo he claims shows acurate condtion (MY ASS IT DOES) And his decription full of lies:

HERE IS A SCAN OF THE CART I MADE WHEN IT ARRIVED:


So what do you have to say for yourself now that I went public with this Quarter?

You Stay Classy DP (Cause The Electric Quarter Sure Isn't),

That's a fun game, good score!

[Bratwurst]

That top is so clean, I'd eat off of it!

[Saabmeister]

First of all, have you tried contacting him?

In regards to the damage, everything except the missing end label is clearly visible in the picture. As for the end label, it looks as though he used a stock template for listing Atari 2600 games, and may not have realized that he needed to change the description/forgot to. He is a member here (Sylentwulf). Also, why didn't you post the email's you two exchanged?

Yes, I contacted him and he pretty much told me to go fuck myself without using colorful words.

That is why I avoid eBay stores.

[SoulBlazer]

Did'nt Sy allready post a topic about this in the Video Game forum?

[Qixmaster]

Word to that.

I absoluetly HATE ebay stores. Bought some games that were in said condition and arrived just in tatters and all that shit. No more ebay stores for me

back on topic... that sucks man, but best you can do is suck it up and look for a better cart.

Most eBay stores sell too much stuff to possibly care about the buyer. This is a prime example. Says one thing and means another, gives the buyer a big F you and moves on.

[jajaja]

isnt this seller a member here?

[NESaholic]

I can understand what you mean,it always sucks to see a not so common game in a state like this.
Still when i look at auction pic you can clearly see that something is wrong with the Smurf label,assuming you know these carts you could have seen it in the pic.

[Zadoc]

isnt this seller a member here?

Yes, hence the purpose of this thead.

[Jumpman Jr.]

Yeah, wasn't he asking people if he thought anything was wrong with the cart in the "Video Gaming" Forum.
I think I remember most peoples responses being "well... it looks alright... but I can't really see... it looks like theres some stuff on it, but its hard to tell"
Thing is, you definitely can't tell that there is no top-label on it.
I'm suprised, usually his stuff his great.

[captain nintendo]

isnt this seller a member here?

Yes , a long time member.

Lets not drag any names through the mud though. :/
Hopefully things can be settled via pm's ?

[jajaja]

Know it might sux, but its only a matter of $5 anyway. I saw another copy for $10, looks verry good.

[Griking]

Yeah, he's a member and he's already posted a topic about this very issue HERE

[silver_surfer]

Well, Seeing as the User "ron_burgundy" is my good friend Josh that I see in person on a daily basis I can openly say I have read all the emails amd such back and forth between him and "The Quarter" as he puts it and I can tell you right up front that ol' ron got BURNED BAD, and I personally feel a bit guilty cause I recomended them to him cause my past dealings with Electric Quarter have always been picture perfect. So needless to say I'm embassased for giveing the Electric Quarter a good refence now and I don't see myself buying from them agian. Man do I feel like an idiot for giving them my recomendation Sorry you got screwed Josh

[Griking]

Lets be fair here. While I do think that your friend didn't get what he paid for I have to believe that EQ will eventually make things right. He's got too many postive transactions for me to believe otherwise. For some reason I have a feeling that there were words that caused hard feelings after the fact. Otherwise I don't think that EQ would have made his original post on the VG forum and to not want to deal with your friend.

[Sylentwulf]

Didn't see this post. I wish you had continued our e-mail conversation since you never sent me the pics you promised me you would. The cart had an end label when I put it in there. I know that sounds like one lameass excuse but it really did. In fact, if you look at the auction, you can clearly see the black outline above the white stripe on the top of the game. At any rate, I have no idea what happened between here and there, but if you had SENT ME THESE PICS, I would have taken a different action than what's probably going to happen now.

I asked for pics, you never sent me them. If you had sent me these pics that are in this thread, I would have done an exchange for you, or partial refund, or SOMETHING. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of the people who have dealt with me here and atariage can vouch for it. The only other problem I had was someone ELSE who posted a thread without continuing any type of e-mail communication whatsoever.

At any rate, I suppose I'm still willing to work SOMETHING out with you, so just post here, pm me, e-mail me.

Edit - Also, if you could go ahead and look at that thread I posted in the main forum, most people said the condition of the cart shown was a 3-6 judging by the picture. So IMO it was pretty obvious it wasn't exactly mint to begin with. But if you received no end label, that part is obviously my fault.
