I feel sorry for the people getting screwed here. I never dealt with Glenn Pogue for toy transactions but when he ran this BBS he did plenty of screwy things just because he had the power to do them. For those of you who haven't gotten your toys (and currently the victims of his unique toy psychopathology), he is most likely holding them simply because he can. Get the mods to move this thread to Whatever because it will be auto-deleted if it stays in For Sale.
Hasn't this gotten to the point where this whole thing warrants some sort of legal action. For the life of me, I don't understand why people just chalk up internet losses to learning a hard lesson. It's theft, and if you spent over 300 it's a felony. I've never dealt with Pogue, but I was thinking hard about buying a bunch of toys from that sale, (I've always been keen on the Skullwings) If I had purchased something, than the SDPD would be getting a call from me after the first month with no contact. Don't let this swill shit corrupt the board, anymore than you would let someone with 1 post do it. Anyone that's bought something from me, can attest, that they've gotten it in a week, if not, they're getting a reason why.
not making excuses, but the reason why Pogue is a special case is that he was a mod on this board and used to work at Super 7. Again, I don't think he's ripping anyone off. but I agree it might be time for someone like Joe or Josh or Alex to give Glenn a call and remind him he has toys to ship.
For that matter does anyone on this board know 'pizzatrash' (Tyler) who can help The Moog with his (posted earlier) situation? I actually got to like Glenn over at S7. His unfortunate 'psychopathology' really sucks. I don't get it, after all this bullshit nobody who has his phone number has yet called him on the phone. Whats up with this?
Special case? There is a history of Pogue not coming through, people were just too quiet because he was a "special case." He's already ripped all these people off. I had thought about purchasing a few things, and then didn't because I knew better, and some of the pricing was just too hype.
At this point what really bums me out is that I passed on two of the OG skullwings thinking I had this one. From what I have been told someone from S7 already contacted him. I think I have been reasonably patient and kept my discourse civil. If I am not going to get my toy though, it amounts to theft in my book. Sad the situation has turned out this way.
When you're a kid, we call it irresponsible. But as an adult you lack integrity. And if it goes on for a while you become a douchebag.
so happy I'm not involved with this fucktarded nonsense.. hope everything get's resolved for you guys that are having an issue with Mr. Pogue here soon..
i once purchased an astro zombies chaos from pogue. after numerous pm's and e-mails sent asking on the whereabouts of my toy, i eventually got my money refunded after roughly 6 months. i wish you all luck on getting your toys, and really hope you don't have to wait that long for a refund if you don't.
^^ How about Pizzatrash? Anyone know him or could give him a nudge? He still hasn't got back to me and all I want now is a quick refund via Paypal . . . he can stick the figure up his arse.
I haven't been on these boards in forever, but I do find it hilarious that people like that who clearly make livings off flipping toys or painting up garbage figures charging 3 times what they are worth, always having sales, lag on shipping and continually screw people are defended at all because they are in the "RFSO cool kid toy club", such a joke
Is Pogue actually alive? Does he still live in the U.S.? Is he ill? He must be ill... Get well soon, Pogue!
After reading this thread, I can't believe this guy hasn't at least gotten a punch in the nose for his troubles - do they lace the water with Xanax up in S.F. or what? C'mon, toy nerds - get out the pitchforks and torches!
Sorry Josh, I was told by someone else dealing with this that Brian has tried to message him or something. Did not mean to imply anything. For reference I paid for my toys on 12/09/2011. Not looking too good for me.
No but people let him pretend to be so they didn't step on his fingers, especially after he started at s7. Sycophants.
