Hey Rastiemon,
Listen asshole. I never once Flamed you and what I do here locally is none of X-S business, you need to back the fuck off as your a SLANDERING my reputation based on no proof of anything. I have done my best to be a top seller here on X-S forums. I have also gone to Skinyron for reballs and reflows and he has done a good job for me. I have had my share of systems that have gone RROD from him and yes I will agree some of his work fell off twords the end, but you don't know the whole story. I am not here to defend Skinyron, just my own name as you brought me up with no good reason and no facts. Even if I was the worlds largest scammer locally, it gives you NO RIGHT at all to slander my Xbox-scene BST reputation. I do my best to honor my deals with people here. I have had my share of systems die within my DOA period and honor my DOA warranty, I also have had system die OUTSIDE my DOA period and done my best to help that customer as much as I could costing them little to NOTHING for a repair to what I had sold them. If you check my JTAG threads (my current one) as well as my other 4 or 5 that go back almost 2 years now you will find well over 50 transactions and nothing but happy people. Yes I have had my share of maybe a dozen rrod and such, but I have never SCAMMED anyone here EVER!!!!.
As for my local dealings - I did do a lot of local business here on craigslist. Like any other person here trying to make a bit of side money i did my best to find the cheapest tagables I could, and ANY RROD system i could at minimal cost, make the investment of having skinyron reball it (so he made his $50 or $75 if he did a CPU swap to make it taggable from a RROD Non tagable) then I would advertise them locally and sell them. I never sold a RROD system to anyone here locally. Yes I have had system RROD within a day or two from local buyers, but I don't trust craigslisters - Like with any local classified ad - it is buyer beware. I always offered local buyers the ability to turn it on and play test it - though I don't invite craigslisters to my home. I always offered to meet people and if they had a TV in their car (many do) I would allow them to test it. I also offered people close enough to me - to go to their house and test it before purchase. Again I never outright scammed anyone here locally, intentionally. I have had one or two system go RROD locally after a few days, but craigslist isn't X-S so there is no DOA policy. I have bought many of things on craigslist too that failed instantly once I got them home or within a few days, and basically never had anyone offer me a refund / exchange, so what is fair is fair. Yea there might be one or two people locally out of the 100's I have dealt with flipping xbox 360's - taggables and just standard stock systems for a small profit that I basically told them All sales are final and have it fail a day or two later - oh well that don't make me a scammer, and I have actually in some cased refunded or exchanged their purchase, but After one local who fucked up the system himself within 24 hours of buying it and then ringing my phone every hour on the hour harassing me for a refund or exchange, after checking the system out myself and seeing that he ripped tracers trying to swap xclamps out and also Xmas lighted it by changing the KV incorrectly, decided Jtags locally are ALL SALES FINAL REGARDLESS - Once they tested and bought it - they were 100% responsible - I am not taking a loss for some moron who don't know what they are doing with a 360/jtag after they buy it. I also have not advertised a Jtag on Craigslist locally for well over 5 months now - FEB/March was the last of my Jtag ad's here locally and all I have been advertising for Xbox recently is rapid fire chips which I am a top seller for, I have one of the best chips out there and I do LED light changes and Thumbstick customizations, 100% legit and everyone who buys from me is happy - NOT A SINGLE negative comment from anyone locally.. I never had a disappointed rapid fire customer EVER. I know for a fact I have done over 200 local rapid fire mods as I keep a record of buyers. I also have local shops buy my rapid fire chips and they and their customers love them. I have not advertised 360 Modding in over a year on Craigslist - it's not worth doing and the fact that people treat you as tech support and expect you to sell them illegal games (which I never ever have done) just pisses me off. I do sell other things I can get my hands on cheap for a small profit, and to be honest with you all - there is nothing VIDEO GAME related worth selling on craigslist as the BST on craigslist is FLOODED with 360 stuff, many people WAY OVERPRICED, others selling super cheap - I can't ever find a happy medium so I have not done gaming accessories other than rapid fire since march. I do sell PC stuff and Furniture and such as I am very good at finding a SLICKDEAL from a retailer and then flipping it on Craigslist for a small, but worth while profit.
So - I think the MODS/ADMINS should BAN your ass for your post. To outright slander a person for no reason, and bringing in business stories and hearsay from something that has NOTHING to do with Xbox-scene is just wrong and should be bannable. One of the rules is not to FLAME. . I have no problem with the people here who have a GRIP about skinyron, writing it - But to mention another member who has nothing to do with him other than living within 20 miles of him and also being a customer of his (I am nothing more than a customer to him) That does NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SLANDER ME. Perhaps I will get your information from Skinyron and file a defamation of character suit against you. Granted, I used Craigslist and X-S to make some pocket / side money to buy my toys with, but you outright and unequivocally slandered me for no reason. I never even dealt with you, I never did a transaction with you.. If I did and you didn't care for the level of customer service you got from me or were unsatisfied with my product locally - then you have a reason not to like me - but it does not give you ONE or ANY right to come to this forum where I worked hard over 5 years to keep my reputation as clean as respectable as possible (no one is perfect) and have you just outright slander me for no reason.
I have not spoken to skinyron in quite some time, but I think after your post and dragging me into this for no related reason, I will be calling him. No I am not going to talk him into coming back here to take care of his issues - he is man enough to do that himself. I am not his daddy, again I am just one of his customers, which by the way I am not anymore since he stopped doing reballs. Since he was the ONLY one doing reballs locally and there is noone else remotely near me - I have stopped looking for RROD to convert and my side money for jtags is pretty slow - I do still try to find taggables at a cheap price, tag them and sell them for a small profit and I have found one or two in the past month here for X-S members - but I have not been on CL in months for Jtags or any other 360 related sales except rapid fires...
Be thankful I never run into you, My screen name tells you where I am from, and there is a street education and attitude in me that comes back out when I need it to. I'll will come out in force if I ever run into you. You sir are an ASSHOLE and again you should be banned, your comments removed. GOOD RIDDANCE to you.
PS: i need to add one thing. You mention what skinyron built and bought with his money. Again - none of your business or anyone else's business what he bought. Yes there are a few unhappy people here that claim they got back RROD systems or got systems that failed quickly, and a few claiming they never got their systems back. They have a LEGIT gripe. But there are 100's if not close to 1000's boards he has done in over the years time. Many work great and still work great - in the beginning his works was rock solid - and to be honest - I would still go to him if he was still doing it. I spent many hours with him in garage as he allowed me to sit around and watch him fix my stuff. We did talk and I guess you can say we were friendly, but trust me - I am just a customer to him. He worked his ass off for a hobby that he turned into a side business for some time, he has the right to retire if he wants to (granted I agree with members that the last of his work should be backed up within his DOA policy and people who have outstanding work should get their systems back in the condition they were sent in + a refund, or get their systems back working and still given a DOA period.) What he bought with his money (and you don't know how much he really made doing just this) is none of ANYONE'S business. ANYONE'S... So again you need to keep your opinion to yourself. Since you have no legitimate gripe with outstanding work that has not been done for you, or a failed system still inside a DOA period he gave you, then you really have no business chiming in here.. Your whole rant should be considered FLAMING and Slander and you should be banned from these boards.
Also should you actually have the BALLS to contact me.. I would really enjoy a PM from you with who and what I scammed? I would really enjoy to read that. Since you and I never did business, anything you write or post or tell people about me is hearsay. I would like to know how many second hand accounts of SCAMS you got about me? I really hate people like yourself. Little bitch who sticks his nose in other peoples business with no legitimate reason other than to Make yourself look good. I am sure in your time doing business you have had some sales that the item went bad after some time, so really good of you to purge your soul by making up shit about other people since you no longer are selling stuff. I know who you are, You have come up a few times by Skiny in our conversations in the garage, and don't come off as a innocent bystander either, you have spent your hours in his garage too talking and BSing. And lastly He is in school - that is not bull shit. Also he has had major life changing events since march/spring as well as some really bad luck and bad business deals that most likely drove him out of doing this. Again, not defending him, but if you want to spew lies, best I can do is just set the record straight from what I know. We all have Skiny's phone number, address, ect.... He isn't sitting at home acting all Dr. Evil about getting over on anyone. I have no clue what he has been doing since a few weeks before announcing his retirement from Reballing, I know that the Last system i Had him do for me took like 2 weeks - It felt like it was never coming back. He dropped it off to me, shook my hand and said was nice doing business with you. Told me I had 15 days - if anything went wrong bring it back, he was winding down and I had no clue he was going to announce a retirement, but I should have guessed, DOA policy changed and he told me no more for a while. - Sorry I had to amend this with an extra paragraph, But I felt it necessary.
