Oh FFS

What an absolute twunt

Once you've received your game back I think he deserves another box with a glittered deuce in.

+1

what an absolute Tard.

[Spectre]

He's now filed a returns request under "Doesn't work or is defective" and supplied a picture of some other gamecube disc he owns which is scratched to hell. I now have to pay his return postage and presumably if he sends back something other than the game I sent him, or even an empty box for that matter, I've not got a leg to stand on.

the only thing to do is film opening the box parcel he returns and hope that paypal see sense

His postal address is in Islington and it just so happens I'm heading down to the big smoke this weekend. Think I might go and give him a knock.

excellent !

I’ve taken to filming in such positions before.



Good luck Spectre. I don’t know how reliable Action Replay booting is but when I went through a little gamecube bundle buying phase I found that most disk drives certainly get very fussy after all these years, as you’d expect. It sounds worryingly like he’s **** the disk up with a lame effort of cleaning it.

[jugemscloud]

is it a ntsc us game disc or jp you sold him?- if its jp kanji isn't written in the bios of any other region console and text will just display as garbage and may crash unexpectedly or the game may not boot at all

also i can echo what joe said the laser in my gc last time i used it needed to sit powered up for 5-10 mins before it would read discs consistently, and i believe that a contributing factor was a manufacturing fault on exploder discs which meant they are imbalanced. you can tell these ones by cracks in the centre of the disc that will appear solely due to use not mishandling - this was when my gc was about 10 years old with about 2-3k hours on it and about 1k using an exploder disc

Is his photo good enough quality to show it's a different disc? There's be a code around the central hole which will identify it if you can't see anything else but would need a reasonable quality picture.

[Spectre]

It's a US game and I already considered the product code on the disc, it just so happens that the picture he took caught the light just right so you can't read it.

[thomj]

Can you tell if it's a different number of characters, see one letter and tell it doesn't match or anything at all?

[JoeAwesome]

Not to make matters worse, but typically, the worst Gamecube discs I've come across reading in my system were those that were resurfaced. Guess those mini-DVDs weren't meant for some resurfacing machines. Hope it ends well, Spectre.

Please do it

So what was the thrilling outcome to this story?

So what was the thrilling outcome to this story?

I really want to know too.

I just had a 0 feedback guy buy a GBA game from me (they signed up yesterday).

They paid quickly too. I'm still suspicious. So I called eBay and told them this zero feedback guy might try to pull a scam saying item not received as described or some other crap. They told me to take pictures.

So I filmed myself packaging the game with loads of bubble wrap (double boxed) so he can't say it got damaged. Sent Special delivery and took a photo of the item with the tracking label on it.

All this over a £100 item

[Pete]

The guy who bought my "Le Creuset Shallow Casserole 26cm Blue" has still yet to contact me about collection, sale date March 24th could this be a scam waiting to happen

[pubjoe]

Could be a flan waiting to happen.
