Joel D. Park Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Joe, You can hold onto my stuff for a while. Ship everyone elses stuff first, I figure mine is a heavy package. Thanks, Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel D. Park Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 I hate to keep pushing this but I've traded hundreds of dollars worth of stuff with Pooyan in the past. I've never had any troubles. I filled in some good rares in my collection with him. I feel sure he's telling the truth, my last trades (besides my current trade) was over a year ago, and he was having job problems back then as well. If I may ask, what are you guys trading for, if it's some more or less common stuff, I might even make good on some of the trades. I've got my reputation riding on this.

lonesome_pa Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 I haven't seen mine either. But, I also don't have a lot of money invested in this; only $8.00. I was buying Mat Mania Challenge for the 7800. I understand that problems arise, been there myself. I don't really have a real rush for this, but I'd be happy with an update every now and then.

holygrailvideogames.com Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I didn't even deal with this guy, but I don't like seeing things like this happen in the Atari community. If anyone took a loss from this guy I would consider it mail fraud and internet fraud. You can file a complaint with the internet fraud division of the FBI or a mail fraud complaint with the U.S. Post Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesome_pa Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I sent him a pm on the 5th looking for an update but it's still in my outbox; I guess he hasn't been on. I would really like to think that this will end up with a good ending, but I can't shake the bad vibes. I understand Joel had great dealings with him, but nobody can blame us with where this is heading. If Pooyan has problems I can understand that, I've been there myself. But at least send out the games a little at a time, or at the very least, post an update here. I rather get an update message then completely nothing at all. I strongly believe that we atleast deserve that. I am trying to be very patient here, but it's getting harder to do everyday this goes on. I don't want to feel that way, but I, as I am sure all of you, are left with no other alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I may ask, what are you guys trading for, if it's some more or less common stuff, I might even make good on some of the trades. I've got my reputation riding on this. I understand where you are coming from, but I can also understand where the people he traded with are coming from. If he wasn't going to have the money to ship all of the items he was trading (whether funding for shipping was provided or not) then he shouldn't have traded in the massive volumes he did in the first place. Some of these trades are going on a month and its not like Pooyan was already an established member of the community who has been maintaining constant individual contact with all the people he traded with. I didn't want trade with Pooyan because I got a bad vibe from a PM he sent me and because I found his multiple posts very rude and obnoxious. He effectively pushed everyone else's trade lists off the front page with all the different threads he started and the constant bumping of his threads was completely inappropriate. I understand that you have made countless trades with this guy and that they have all gone well, but at this point, things look really bad. I highly doubt many people will want to trade with Pooyan again regarless of the outcome of all these trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my reputation riding on this. Nothing I had coming was common per se, which is why I say it should have been "too good to be true." I was supposed to be getting a Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes, among other things. I'll scroll back and see what the other two were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Should I make this thread sticky ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 Okay, here's what I found scrolling back through posts: Pressure Cooker Deadly Duck (2) Front Line Rev. Beefsteak Tomatoes (????) Dishaster I know I opted not to take Pressure Cooker since it wasn't much better than the one I already have, and I think I passed on Dishaster too because of the high demand. So in exchange for the two carts and $3 I sent him, I was supposed to receive Deadly Duck, Front Line, and Revenge of the Beefstake Tomatoes. The two carts I sent him were fairly uncommon I think (3's I think, or maybe a 3 and a 4) and I don't even care so much about the $3 I sent him to pay for shipping, but it's the principle of the matter that he got what I sent him and I have nothing to show for all his promises.

lonesome_pa Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 CPU- I would make it sticky to ensure that this thread doesn't get "lost in the shuffle". Well, I'm still hoping that this ends in a good way. Trying to be optimistic in this situation, but it's difficult............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhwolfman Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Bing new to the forum I have been reading archives and ran across this. I hate to see anybody taken advantage of but this is too much. I cut and pasted this. From another thread that Pooyan posted. Ed~ I'm just learning the "etiquette" of these forums, each is different. I just like to keep my wares fresh, but maybe here it IS spamming..... Maybe, just maybe I'm selling off a large part of my collection because of FINANCIAL REASONS?....... .....Nawww, it's really 'cause I'm a scam artist who seeks to rob people of 2600 carts and cash, you are right! Mwaa~ha~haaaa! Joe This is just not right. I feel for everyone that was envolved. I would hate it if this happend to me. This scares people away from trusting fellow collectors. I am new here and when I get my collections in order and know what I have duplicates of I am going to want to trade. I have over 400 postitves on ebay so I Hope this helps when the times comes. And for what its worth, the people on this forum have been nothing but kind to me I also think CPU is a great moderter. Good luck in your venutres and dont let this ruin the trust in good People.

Gateway Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Looks like I've been out of the loop as I only discovered that others were having problems with Pooyan through one of MMF's posts in Off-Topic. For the record, these are the games he owes me (2600 ): 1 Deadly Duck 1 Gopher 1 Squeeze Box 1 Sorcerer I hope he indeed has enough copies of each of these games since I've noticed that some of you fellow AA members are due to get some of these same titles. I sent him a money order because he said he doesn't have a checking account. This fact didn't bother me since my sister doesn't have a checking account either, although I've advised her she should get one! I'm only out $20 dollars... unless he comes through and gets everybody their stuff which he still has the opportunity to do. Here's hoping for the best.

lonesome_pa Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Has anybody heard anything yet? Even a message from him?? My pm to him still goes un-received. I even passed on 2 great deals on eBay for the same game I was expecting to get. Oh well, it's starting to look like all hope is lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2600 Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 BIG QUESTION HERE IS TO ALL THAT TRADED WITH POOYAN DID YOU PAY HIM ALLREDY? If you did and nothing then the got you by the *@#$% man! Just my opinion A2600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 I paid him when I mailed my half of the trade, at his request, because "I'm so broke I can't afford to ship them out." So yes, I got #%@#ed both ways, up and down AND sideways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angusjake Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Forgive me for asking but do you have any credentials, Pooyan ? OK how ironic but this was one of the first questions asked of this guy by CPU. Luckily I am not out anything as he never responded to my PM. I hope you all get your goods. I think most of these types of problems in the classic gaming community are due to financial/personal type problems (as opposed to an actual intent to defraud - there are better ways to make money), but that doesn't make any difference to the person who is out the cash. Buyer beware as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main trading rule? who wanted the stuff? did pooyan want your stuff or did you want pooyans stuff?? if it was you then its ok you have to ship first if it was pooyan he has to ship first we need a trading rule book!
