Collectible Cards of Bitcointalk Users.

[STT]

Not on this forum but I'm a long term member elsewhere and if somebody is new I'd just let them know they can send an item and I'll pay on delivery.    Thats not unreasonable for established members and relatively low cost type stuff, obviously the seller might not want to proceed on that basis and thats fine also.    For trade work its often the case the job is done first and then payment is made.

Yep, what you describe is totally normal here and on other forums.  In this case a few of us let our guards down because the seller did not seem like a seller but more of a motivated community member.  The entire affair is quite disappointing; not necessarily for the loss of funds but for the loss in the ability to trust what seems like a wholesome newbie.

Sorry for delays, please remember that I cannot pay back to all quickly because I do it form my what I earn daily.
I would like to kind ask those who got refunds to drop a message here
thank you and my apologizes again

    You can start making amends by at least responding to the pms of the customers you have swindled and tell them their payment will be returned and not blatantly ignoring any pms sent to you.

    That wont cost you a Satoshi. So no excuses there that your broke.

ordered 3 cards here grrrr
At least i have a ytude vid of one of them.

[owlcatz]

I sent him a PM with the TXID and amount he owes me. I have gotten no reply and no coins yet either. shocker...

Sorry, Jcga, that really sucks....  This was a well-executed scam, but it's still a pity.

I sent mine via PM and left an address here publicly.  Nothing of course either.  Sucks for all of us, but the ones who paid for toys got the worst of it.

Alot of people are totally awful when it comes to handling cash and budgets, I dont know if malacious or not but monetary incompetence is common.

I agree. I'm not convinced that the skam was malicious. In fact, I'd argue that the evidence suggests that the original intent was to make and distribute the goods in proper faith. Selling goods that haven't actually been made yet (or being in the possession of the seller) is a common scam. However, these physical goods were all made as evidenced by the photos. IMHO, it makes no good sense to scam for shipping costs only. The goods were already made and ready to ship. If you're going to scam from the start, then why bother to even make the goods? Therefore, I have to agree with STT above. I think the problem is more likely to be monetary incompetence that finally destroyed the otherwise original good intentions toward making a legitimate side business in this collectibles market. Regardless, it is what it is.

I sent mine via PM and left an address here publicly.  Nothing of course either.  Sucks for all of us, but the ones who paid for toys got the worst of it. 

Personally, I paid BTC for the digital card, the physical card, and the custom Jeep Wrangler toy. (I'll never see the two physical items.) It's quite disappointing for multiple reasons.

Good luck to all who were skammed. I hope you receive a refund someday.

Regards,
Chris

I understand that this situation made you very upset and I feel sorry for that as I said.
I will keep refunding as quick as I can do, I have a usual salary of ukranian designer and I have a family.
Please do not ask for any art work anymore I will never accept a satoshi. And I am making refunds not because I want to restore my reputation (like some say here), no. I am refunding because my mistakes led to your losses.

Peace and please do not bury me in shit even if I did a mistake.

[krogoth]

  Basorexia,
                 Thankyou for the PM and also for my full refund.

                 Confirming btc was sent back to me.

                 Cheers

Its good to see you doing the right thing and refunding. Iv got a feeling this might take a while and it would have been nice to see a quick resolution but id rather see this than a full blown 100 percent skamaroo.

^ could not agree more. At this point I don’t care what happened. You’re trying to make things right, even if it takes time and that’s rare around here. Says a lot about your character. I think I messaged you about a refund, but ignore it. Take care of everyone else. My digital card is enough.

[bitserve]

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why Basorexia didn't opt to redo (if needed) the cards and ship 'em instead of refunding everyone? I mean, shouldn't that be cheaper for him?

If this really were a scam... it would be one of the weirdest and most illogical ones, ever.

[mortare]

Sent him a pm a week ago for a refund, no reply , no refund...

No, everyone is thinking a lot of things.  Maybe he was the scammer, maybe he did have a partner, who the hell knows really.  The thing that makes this situation different is they didnt just up and take off and leave everyone completely high and dry.  We've seen countless people do that over the years, so it's refreshing to see someone actually taking some steps to making this right.  Personally I asked for a lot in my digital card and they delivered, to me it was pretty much worth what I paid for it, though of course a physical card would have been nice.  All we can do now is give the guy a little time to prove himself .

[El duderino_]

Pity he's a scammer... I supported he's first cards and just paid him "to much" to create some cards for some WO-members.... instant regret....
He delivered, but I honestly wouldn't supported him if I would know a scammer came out of him.

[wheelz1200]

Refund bump.  Wheres muh refund 

[MoparMiningLLC]

maybe he should make a list of all who paid him, and show the transactions of refunds as he makes them - so that all who paid for something they did not get, can see that some progress is being made.
