here's my first real deadbeat bidder (though there was one other a couple years ago) :
Member id: medd21
he bought 2 auctions from me, this is the direct text from the very first line of the auctions descriptions:

i found it humorous that this ignoramous threatened me with negative feedback if i don't pay the ebay fees to correct his stupidity. be forwarned and block him ahead of time. for a purist, he's certainly not a realist. if he is genuine than he was just trying to steal rare parts from what he thought was an ignorant seller, but there's really no excuse for being too lazy to read the first line of the auction text. I told him that the only way he could get out of paying was to wait the 4 days it takes for me to file a "no pay bidder" claim, and take the non payment hit.Dear hotdogs_stuff,I contacted you seconds, after realizing these were fake lots, and now you won't get back to me? I just want to cancel the transaction, as I am looking for the real thing. I won't have anything nice to say, if forced into accepting fake , imitation items...no matter the quality. I am a purist. Thank you very much.Sincerely, Neil- medd21
here was my exact quoted response to his second email:
his response:Dear medd21, after 4 days i will file a non payment claim with ebay, at that point you can get out of the deal with a non payment strike against you. it really cracks me up that not only didn't you read the auction before buying it, but you also thought you were going to rip off some joe collector by giving him 15.75 for an original mic and baton. what a douche, people like you are the reason i detest ebay.thanks for screwing up my auction, hotdog
my response:Dear hotdogs_stuff,That is not correct. These are items against Ebay's policies and shouldn't even be on here. They infringing against Hasbro toy company, and ruin the collectors market.Swearing at me, and degrading Ebay, is rude and uncalled for.Good day.
he's also continued to contact me, i told him i was going to post here and on another site warning sellers against him, and that i would send him the links. here were his responses (in order i recieved them) while i was typing this post:Dear medd21,they are customs, and clearly listed as such in the very first line of the auction description. I am currently posting a warning against you on both yojoe and hisstank, so good sellers (like myself) have a forwarning of you and block you in advance. i will send the links to you shortly.- hotdogs_stuff
CoolDear hotdogs_stuff,Collectors can't stand counterfeiters!!! I will have no problem, accept suing you for slander...watch what you say, my family are all lawyers.- medd21I think i'll contact Hasbro...- medd21sorry medd21, you just made the signature.DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN. WE ARE DONE , AS IS THE COUNTERFEITING.- medd21
so after telling me he's done (so i haven't contacted him at this point except twice, once to let him know about the non payment, and once to let him know about these posts- both prior to the last 4 quotes by him) he continues to email me:
this quote cracked me up, because by acknowledging that they are customs- whatever you choose to use that definition for (color, texture, lack of similarity) by acknowledging it you have to acknowledge your knowledge that i told you they aren't original pieces...So...how are "your" pieces "custom", when you just make a mold of an original?! Repeating the word "custom" doesn't make it so. Hacky- medd21the "threats" are a refence to this thread.I'm contacting Ebay about your threats.
update 3-28-12
so i closed the case today, and i emailed him to let him know he is done with the items. and he flipped out again:
Dear medd21,FYI the case is now closed, so aside from the nonpayment strikes you took you have no obligations for the items.- hotdogs_stuffDear hotdogs_stuff,I HAVE NO strikes tough snot dog...you do. I have been on the phone a bunch of times. I'm clean. You are in violation of a TON of policies here on Ebay and with Hasbro.And don't EVER threaten me again.- medd21Dear medd21,perhaps you don't understand how ebay works, and more importantly, you don't have to be a douche all the time. I'm not going to argue with you, but you did take 2 non payment strikes about 20 minutes ago when i closed the case. when you agreed to purchase those custom items (complain all you want, but they are custom pieces and were clearly listed as such) you entered into a contract. you had to click that you understood that after clicking that you agreed to buy it now. at that point I racked up around 5 bucks in ebay fees for the transaction, regardless of whether you wanted the items or not i have to pay that unless i file the non payment buyer claim against you (where those fees are returned to me). i won't take that hit, plus pay to relist my items because you lack maturity, responsibility or good sense. you matter of factly did take the hits, I only contacted you to let you know the matter was resolved. in the future i would advise you to read the auctions before you buy them, as you only have 1 more strike left before ebay gives you the boot.thanks-hotdogthat one i found hillarious because his facts are all twisted. he told me not to contact him (after my second email to him letting him know he made my banned list and that i would post here), i probably shouldn't have contacted him, but i wanted to let him know it was resolved.Dear hotdogs_stuff,There was no need to contact me, especially after threatening me with slurring my name on HISS and YOJOE...I would ALWAYS KNOW what is going on, with retarded cases like this one. Plus, you are the one who said DO NOT CONTACT ME!!!!....chill man, I was nice from the get. You tripped out, for what? ...only to have stuff taken down? I would have left it alone, but you had to push it? I don't get angry guys like you....- medd21
that was it for me, but here's his last two this morning, he is amusing, but still not the kind of collector i would ever want to be around- or invite over.Dear medd21,I didn't slander you, i quoted you word for word, it's not my fault if that makes you look like an ignoramous.- hotdog
Dear hotdogs_stuff,Trust me, I didn't take a strike...and for YOUR information, making a hokey mold, which is easy as a project as they come (I'm a master modeler, and a licensed builder ), if you ACTUALLY sculpted them and I mean more than slicing off the mold excess...THEN it would be custom. You use a REAL one , mold it in whatever color you have on hand (you even said that in your description ), and sell em'; that is NOT custom, that is hack. And YOU were the "douche" , as you say, who freaked, when I realized you are a kitchen making, copyright infringing, Ebay policy offending kid, who thought(for some unknown reason), that I was going to sell them ?? I as a REAL collector, want only the real deal tough guy. If we were face to face, I guarantee you wouldn't have said ANYTHING to me...you can bank on that.Dear hotdogs_stuff,Telling me (as it is obvious you haven't a clue as to what "slander": means), you were going to tell people in GI JOE blogs, to avoid me, for who knows why?...is slandering my name.Dear hotdogs_stuff,I would venture to say, we would probably get along, if it weren't for you hiding behind the internet...but, your inflated pride over a couple basement geeks, sucking up to you on YOJOE, or any of the other sites you go to, gets in the way. I'm going to be the first to extend a truce and ask we stop arguing. For molds they don't look bad at all.Dear hotdogs_stuff,I am the furthest thing from an ignoramus, can build / make anything, and I will give you props for finding a niche, to make some extra cash...but, it IS illegal. Granted, you found a way around it, a loophole of sorts, with wording and a place that doesn't check that kind of thing too thoroughly. But, if Hasbro knew...you and I both know, they would never agree to your word "custom". But, whatever, that's cool...just don't trip next time someone wants a Hasbro baton, that's not a dis on you. They just want the real deal.Dear hotdogs_stuff,So are we cool? I looked, out of curiosity at some other "replacement" parts, and there are some really, really bad ones on here...But, as far as me having strikes, I don't have one. I ACTUALLY spoke to an American guy, and he cleared my name and status. And, for your information, I never wanted to cause you any problems or fees. NeilDear hotdogs_stuff,Out of curiosity...have you ever tried to make , say a Skystriker canopy, or a clear helmet lens , from the early 80's?i wasn't responding because i was working. but he seems to have a fragile psyche, like if he says something and doesn't get a response he flips out. i also thought it was funny that he asked about other "customs"- i didn't even want to go there, so i said we were cool and pointed him to brokenarrow- sorry alyosha.Dear hotdogs_stuff,Don't tell me , because you find out I'm a nice guy, you are still ticked off enough to not respond? How old are you?...seriously. No joking.- medd21
the threat of a fight kind of aggravates me, mostly because i am not physically affraid of anybody. I'm not a tough guy, and i don't pick fights, but i don't run away from fights either, but there are so many internet tough guys it's just not worth the aggravation of replying to someones threats like that
