Just a heads up Peter, Googlyeyes is already at it again selling a Splurrt x Martin Ontiveros Cadaver Kid Set on the bay.
Is he going to be at DCON? If so I would like to a) cockblock the shit out of him getting any toys or if I can't, b) bring some acetone and toss it into what ever bag has all his future flips.
I have been corrected by a reliable friend. My assumption about hiphop151 was incorrect. Please disregard. The are of no assosiate of Sam.
Instagrams gone. But seriously after reading about just how crazy some of the stuff he's involved in (successful or not) that he's still around at all. Helpers/friends or not how can you avoid straight lawsuits and such, possible federal cases like he's apparently been doing? Lying about cancer is one thing but it's insane he's getting away with unlawful stuff for so long.
I have been corrected by a reliable friend. My assumption about hiphop151 was incorrect. Please disregard. They are of no association to Sam. My mistake and apologies to them. They are in fact very reputable sellers.
His membership should be surprising, but unfortunately it's not... If you have the power to kick him off SB, & haven't, aren't you just outing yourself? EDIT: ^^ I'm referring to those who DO have the power to kick him off, knowing who he is, but don't. Just using your quotes, cornman & kichigai, to ref. that he could be on here, a Question 1st raised by JMRampage. EDIT: ^^ Kichigai's quote is a joke in ref. to a Twilight Zone episode. It's not literal; he's not protecting Sam.
Dude, bunny, I had no choice, I was I already paid- done with the ebay transaction when I found out that name was him. I couldn't cancel the transaction, and I asked, but they would basically open a claim, sending him a message. If he refused to let me out of the transaction, I would HAVE to pay, but then I would have pissed him off and he could try to claim he sent the item or some shit. I thought about it for a while and then thought--Goddammit I better just massage this through. I was on the line for my purchase through ebay, and when it was done I blocked him on all settings. I know. Why was I even on ebay? That I can't answer. It's hell. Every time.
The basic idea is that if there is someone buying and supporting these prices, then they will still be sold on the bay. For one thing dont apologize for being on there. I understand your new in here and theres alot of comments from people who dont even know the whole Sam story. Plain and simple if you wanna drop an extra $300 on a figure over there, more power to you. Sounds pretty foolish to me, but I've gotten some great deals over there too.
my quote is from a short story called "the monsters are due on maple street" adapted to episode 22 of the 60's twilight zone series i have no power to effect a change on SB nor would i want any such power. i did have the power to make damn sure that the cK hps i did were not purchased by anyone who would flip i did not even let Joe know what was up. i think some of the fault has to lie with "fans" or transitory "fans" looking to exploit toys for profit based on a notion that someone will pay the asking price this is not a new phenomenon nor is it exclusive to toys or folks in America. truth be told i know of a worse situation that was going on in Japan for many years......... i question folks who say that they are fans yet make no attempt to directly contact their favorite producers, rather they feed into hype & pay the high price to those who exploit a hobby then there are the well respected enablers which i will not go into other than to say there is more shady dishonest bullshit going on than even a jaded individual such as myself could understand not sure what you meant by "outing myself" but Sam i am NOT
Mordecai, thanks, yeah, I saw a Boss Carrion, for $235, free shipping. There were 2 of them. I refreshed and one was gone, so time was ticking, lots of watchers and shit. I finally bit and bought it, but then when I posted it here, people told me it was a scammer. If I had known BEFORE the purchase, I would not support it/him, but once I was in, and paid up...I just had to wait it out, and make sure I wasn't the next one being run. I don't support this shit in any way, but I had no clue until i had already bit.
I wasn't talking about you, mate. I was referring to those who DO have the power to kick him off, knowing who he is, but don't. I was using your quote, as w' cornman's to ref. that he's on here. BUT since you brought up that you're aware of the who Sam is on here, why not report him?! Don't complain about the community if you're gonna enable him. The subject keeps being referred back to "flipping". The Main issue w' Sam & reason he needs the boot & put on a DO NOT SELL TO List is because he WILL ROB YOU given the chance. You too Kickigai!.. Well, unless you're in that certain friends w' benefits circle, though I don't think you are... This whole Sam thing is getting fucking ridiculous. If you know who he is and are too big a coward to call him out publicly, pm me, I will. Shit balls!
? I don't get your weird rant directed at John. You don't have to register on sb to read these posts... it's a free for all. This person was booted from the board however, you can still have access to any thread you want (with the exception of the b/s/t) and see what toys are sought after and who's paying what etc. It's no surprise that that there are a ton of sellers/buyers/marketers who sit back and read threads and use the information to gauge sales. This is common knowledge. I don't understand how anyone would defend this person but unfortunetly you can access this site without even registering.
