tillenterprises Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Hey, Ya'll! I won a couple of auctions from seller davekreg, a boxed Blackjack Atari game, and an Activision Boxing, new sealed in box. After I won the auction, I e-mailed him a couple of times to get a total with shipping for both games, and he never responded. So I just guessed at the total, and Paypaled him the cash. Lo and behold, today I get the package, and opened it up. The Blackjack game is the one I bid on- the box is in great shape. However, the Boxing game is another story- it is in a beat-up old box, obviously used, and it's the Canadian version, as it's written in French and has a Zeller's price tag on the box. It is far from "brand-new, sealed in box" definitely not the one in the picture. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=1943396631 The only reason I bid on this is because it said it was brand new, unopened. I tried getting his phone number via eBay, but, surprise surprise, it's the wrong number. Although he doesn't seem to return e-mails, based on his feedback rating, he seems like he's an honest seller. Does anybody know this guy?

CPUWIZ Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 That sounds like he made a mistake, he is very bad in replying to emails though. You might have to bug him a couple of times. Although, he might not be able to correct the mistake because I am sure whoever won the copy you have has yours. I have dealt with him a couple of times but it was him buying something from me and he was very quick to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 I've bought some stuff from him. He's sometimes a bit slow, but is very pleasant to deal with. One time he forgot to send me two carts and to make up for it, send me two additional carts as a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tillenterprises Posted December 23, 2002 Author Share Posted December 23, 2002 thanks for your posts- that makes me feel a little better, but I am still bothered that this happened- I've sold lots of stuff on eBay and always double-check to make sure I'm sending the right stuff to the right people. Still haven't heard back from him, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Siegler Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 I have dealt with him several times. He was slow, but also made up for it with a free game I believe. Shit, I can't remember, but I do remember he did do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamin1 Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 I just finished doing a transaction with DaveKreg. I bought the Glib he put up awhile ago. It finally arrived and is in excellent condition. So, I am satisfied anyhow. It was terribly slow though and when I sent an email requesting the status I never got a response. He needs to work on his customer service a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tillenterprises Posted December 25, 2002 Author Share Posted December 25, 2002 well, I finally got an e-mail response from him, saying accidentally sent me the wrong copy, and will send the right one. So, we'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 well, I finally got an e-mail response from him, saying accidentally sent me the wrong copy, and will send the right one. So, we'll see... If he still has the right one he will. He's a pretty honest Ebayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap5750 Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 I concur with what most others say here. He's okay to deal with, but is kind of slow (and at least for me gave me no feedback). I won about 6 auctions or so from him and he was kind enough to combine everything into one. After not hearing anything for a couple of weeks, I e-mailed him again to make sure he got my payment. Two days later (though I still hadn't heard from him), I received my package. All-in-all, I'd say I'd buy from him again given the chance.

Philflound Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 I've never had any problem with Dave. Though one time I combined shipping on two carts and paid with paypal. Got the carts exactly as described, then like 1 week later, he sent me a notice saying I owed him money for one of the games. I emailed him back and told him I already received them. He's a nice guy. He may be a little caught up with things though. He may be like my friend, too many auctions and too little time to finish all the transactions in a timely manner. Especially if he is a one man show. I still like the guy. I think I've bought from him at least 4 times in the past few months. He usually always has quality merchandise.

tillenterprises Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 I'm pleased to say that he came through, and I received the new, sealed in box, Boxing that I bid on today. He never asked me to return the beat-up one that he originally sent me, either. I sent him an e-mail asking him if he wanted me to return that one, and, surprise- no response. Oh well, I left positive feedback for him anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
