This dude Tim really irritates me!

And he's a member here on KLOV that I've seen/read other people talk about too.

He always buys, and flips the same machines for sometimes ridiculous increases in prices, without any upgrades or mods done.

Other times, he does stupid things like list his Tapper on fee-bay for $500 (OBO) LOWER than on craigslist! Isn't that backwards?

Why am I bitching, when we all have a right to sell our items for what we choose to?

Because I get irritated when people continually try to intentionally rip people off. In my book, what he's doing qualifies as such.
 
I'm just curious if his random price changes actually work. $2500 one week, $1500 the next, $1750 the week after, begin the cycle again. I did notice the TRON is no longer listed, so maybe it does.

Great point! I forgot about that.

All the freaking time too!

Not sure if it sold though. He knows people don't like him, so he might have pulled it from the listing temporarily. I've noticed that before. One day there, next day gone, next day there again.
 
That and different prices for the same item in different CL regions (LA, IE, etc). All those ads are quite annoying, but I'm pretty good at recognizing his postings and avoiding them. I'll be regretting it if he ever has something I want at a good price. But from the responses here, that's doubtful.
 
He was Kung Fu Master here and was banned for life. He had at least 1-2 other usernames here.

He's laughing all the way to the bank...he's sold tens of thousands of dollars worth of games. Take a look at all his completed ebay listings and if you add on the all games that he sells on Craigslist and to repeat customers...he's done pretty well.

And he didn't know jack shit about this stuff when he started flipping. I never thought he'd last.

There is money to be made flipping games. Anyone can do it.
 
Eating my words

Well, looks like I'm going to be eating my words on this one!

I decided to roll the dice and deal with Tim because he has one of my grails, and I haven't seen another since I was 12. So far, everything is actually going great! He has been very reasonable on the price in my opinion, and easy to deal with.

I can man up and admit when I'm wrong.

So, if he's got something you like, it might be worth talking to him.

You are the ridiculous one. Who in their right mind doesn't want to get the most for their machine. If you don't like his prices look the other way, but to come on here and tell everyone not to buy from a guy because his prices are to high is wrong. Your calling a guy out because his prices irritate you, come on. Now if he intentionally sold you a bad game under deceit different story. And how do you know what he does or doesn't do to a game , are you with him in his garage or shop, do you have before and after proof, why do you care? Sounds like you have an axe to grind.

Blah, blah,blah, blah...now you sound like me! :)

Like I said in the first post, it was my opinion. And then I'm man enough to give the guy some credit, point out that I'm eating my own words...and you're giving me shit for it?

If you read the thread, then you saw that I was not alone in my opinion, which has since changed.

I've learned my lesson, man enough to admit.

I did not delete the thread or my comments, because I actually like being proven wrong.

I found something better to do.

Why don't you?

you weren't proven wrong, you just got selfish and lazy and decided to ignore everything wrong that he does once he got your grail game.

PROVEN wrong...perhaps not in all instances.

Is he perfect...no. But, he hasn't done anything to me. I'm familiar enough with the hobby not to get "taken."

And SHOULD I pass up my grail at what I consider an acceptable price, just to spite MYSELF?

Selfish...definitely! It's my grail!

Lazy...not applicable.

Mods should just delete this trainwreck. Guy didn't really do anything wrong per se. Charging too much and doing moronic things like raising prices one week and dropping the other doesn't exactly warrant warding people off from buying from him. Neither does vulturing Craigslist and flipping stuff. It's not like you had a deal gone bad or genuine gripe to complain about in the first place.

As for the 'man enough to admit' stuff, it's too bad you weren't all manned up when you felt like you had to post to gripe about the guy. :/

No problem with that, but was just trying to help the dude after I trashed him.

So...there's a time frame on manning up? I'll be sure to check your clock next time.

I saw the progress on you changing you thoughts on the guy. Don't listen to the trolls. Your ok in my book friend.

Much appreciated!!!

I guess some people wouldn't even want their own children to grow!

Seconded.

Spare us the crybaby bullshit - delete this junk, mods.

The point is don't gripe about needless shit that doesn't concern you.

Had you admitted you were wrong BEFORE you had a pending deal with the guy? That would be manning up (figuratively speaking anyways).

But it's whatev. If you get the point great, if you take offense fine. Just keep in mind that too many posts like this and people will start to think twice before doing business with you.
