Yahoo Auction Bad Seller List V1

Post by Monstermug »

I'm sure quite a few of you buy from Yahoo Auction and have come across some dishonest sellers or sellers who just sell conversion stuff or list stuff as working but they obviously don't because of missing components etc.

I'll try and update this opening post as often as I can.

List...

pcb_archives-san - sells conversion roms (mostly sega 16/18) but pcbs are always conversions.

Jasonmelaniebarry_2000 - not dishonest per say but doesn't really tells the truth. Hides important facts.

Mengxiangjia9328 - Sells faulty stuff as working. Avoid.

Namazu_4278 - Sells faulty stuff as working. Takes screenshots from internet and claims working. Avoid

scramble1982 - Passing on conversion as originals. Also often bumps auctions with second account.

Yamatoku_office - bumps auctions with second account.

isikawagrom - sometimes sells converts without specifying it

hiyoko_studio - sells converts, but he specifies it

g_collectionjp -sometimes sells converts without specifying it

daniel3tb - sometimes sells converts without specifying it

kogi415 - sometimes sells converts without specifying it

jujuyokointokyo (aka GreatFiveAura on eBay) - sells the same items on YAJ and eBay, but doesn't send them if they're sold elsewhere and doesn't refund.

wzshv72401 - Sells conversion without actually stating it. When this guy says junk, they are really and truly junk. Like dead customs impossible to fix kinda junk.

ecolo_tokyo-san - Junk stuff is really and truly junk with this one. Don't expect untested stuff to just work :lol:

aqpuf03796 - Sells broken stuff as working. I.e No sound on pcb and shows pictures of it working. Obviously you can't see if sound is working from pictures :lol:

Taupaipai3636 - Sells conversions saying it's original.

tetsu_1988_cocktail - sells copied arkwrok as original.

Lets keep this rolling!

Yamatoku_office is the same seller as yamatoku_classic on eBay. Horrendous shill bidder. I had a super Famicom cart run up to my max bid with 14 different bids the other day. Had problems with them shilling on eBay as well.

Avoid collectors_king on Ebay. Ships damaged items and doesn't even pack them well. If you bring it up he'll call you a liar, claim that asking for a refund is "rape" and then boasts that his packaging is excellent and that he's a power seller extraordinaire. Just check his feedback for further proof.

I just wanted to keep this Yahoo Auction only atm. Ebay/paypal both has buyer protection which at least you can get some form of compensation if item is not described. Feel free to list ebay too though. It's also nice to know.

Well, he's banned on the forum:

Take that as you will.

I never bought from him, I’m just asking coz his prices are really exaggerated ( my opinion).

He was selling full cave kits for £500 ish back in 2012 (about the same time he got banned from Shumps forum for just buying everything and inflating prices). I've been told he bids on everything and inflates prices on yahoo too. Still, I still don't think its as bad as sellers deliberately trying to conn you outright (hence this yahoo list). I've been sold photo copied artwork on yahoo before. I mean who in their right mind wants to buy photocopied artwork :roll: Its deliberate and just downright low imo.

Flipping is one thing, moving serialnumbers around to create full kits is something else.

I read somewhere that this STV guy was even infamous amongst PCB shops in Japan since he hung around at opening, bought the good stuff and then just relisted it on his site a couple of hours later.

Apparently he used to wait outside on sale days and just buy all sorts from MAK and G-Front. At least that's what I've read on the forums.

Edit: In his defence, those shops had an online service like it was 1994, used to ignore non-Japanese speakers via e-mail and were generally as inaccessible as they could make it. It's not like he was denying foreigners the chance at cheaper games direct.

Well yeah, it's not criminal or anything. Just that anyone could do it but people still didn't, for you know, not being an asshat.

But sure, if he want's to wear that label on his head...

He is a reseller like many other in Japan. That is actually his way to make a living. Why not?

It’s legal... he can and apparently does... it’s still disingenuous at best, raises prices, and is generally negative for the community overall.

We don’t have a right to fairness, decent prices, or good faith sales, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be annoyed at cynical and often objectively shady practices.

There are some sellers, plenty on here, who make a living while still being of overall benefit to the community at large, and there are certain sellers who... erm... aren’t of any benefit to anyone but themselves, shall we say.
