I gotta say if whatever happened was serious enough that the person was banned, his name should be released, I know I'm feeling like I'm in the dark a bit here as I have no idea who was involved in the deal and who I should be watching out for in the future.
Click on Recent Posts. And it is an accumulation of serious complaints over time that made me make the decision to end the member's activity here. That is all I will say at this point.
Man, if this keeps up, I will want tou. I have just had a member try to blackmail me... lovely. I guess he is pissed I banned the seller and claims I keep protecting a clique. He even claimed that he had an email written by me containing bad words about a member... funny... he has been shitting on everyone with his export pin lot and changing his ID every 3 onts or so to protect himself...
Man, this is nuts...
So sorry to say, but I am banning him too. Blackmail on a hobby community is just insane...
This forum is for hobbiests. If they come on here saying anything about hurting their ability to buy, sell and affecting them economically then they need to realize this in not the forum they should be on in the first place.
Oh man... this just gets worse and worse... this last member had a 4th account (Carole) claiming to be in Ottawa when selling that Time Machine pin a while back... he was based in the Quebec City area.
Jesus.... you are really not helping your cause my friend... that is afraudulent sales tactic. Lying about where the machine is...
May I just point out that if I find out that a group of people are engaging in such activities, they will all be no longer welcome here.

Well that explains why the seller kept stalling me to come see the "local" game even tho I was second on the list and the first person who they claimed they were "negotiating with" was posting on the thread whether the game was still for sale, did anybody know? at the exact same time.
Buying on MAACA classifieds used to be between people who basically knew each other or somebody could vouch for also knowing them. Now it's almost like buying off Mr Pinball or RGP where you really have no idea who you are dealing with . Have to agree with Glen on this one. And I know I'm going to stick with sellers only that I know or can see the game in person. No deal is worth the aggravation or chance of being burned. Had that done to me thru an RGP sale and have not gone after a game since long distance due to that unless I dealt with the seller before.
I have only purchased pins through people on MAACA where they are known by most of the MAACA members. I have been pleased to date with my dealings on this site and it is definitely sad to hear of someone getting burned. I am glad that 99.9% of people on this site are trust worthy and are in this for the love of pins and aren't here to screw people over or make a fast buck. Thanks to all the respectable sellers and hobbyists that make this a great site.

I totally second that...! ! I only bought pinballs from people on this site ! I had to drive the extra mile sometimes to look at what I was buying and was totally worth it!! Thanks to TiJacquesX, Hippochrome x 2, Gerry, Ethous and Claude for selling me the pins I enjoyed ....am I forgetting anyone here?
I will deal again with MAACA members without any problems!!!!
