Today i decided to come out on this problem
once & for all
I just hope this is the last time i will ever hear about this!
The Story was:
HIGHSPEED = RICK FUSCO = rick_fusco@hotmail.com : from alymer
You know the same guy that Sales here & kijiji ottawa
When i first started here in MAACA
I didn't have a clue who was good & who was bad..
all i wanted is to buy my first machines
and find good deals & helpful people
He sold me a machine that was a Red painted neo-geo machine
He was pushing me to buy buy buy buy to deliver it The next day trying to deal me all over
after a while i decided to buy it since : it was suposed to work 100% & i didn't have any cabinet & i was excited to start the hobby
I payed this machine around 380+ shipping 60$ (can,t remember exactly)
It arrived at my house ....
all broken up not like on pics
sticky red ''a** crap paint job''
I was dessapointed but i told myself ,hell if the monitor & PCB board works im gonna gut this peice of junk & throw it away no trouble....
We got it inside my house
He left as soon as it was done
like lighting fast
He had some ''buisness he said'' or some other deal to do....
<I plug this garbage in
The monitor was bleeding red colors , it had signs of screen burn dated of BURGERTIME era but SEVERE , plus the neo geo pcb was faulty.... it had a short on board ....
I knew i just got fucked over
....,
I emailed Highspeed
I told him : What the f***!
He then replyed
you know those things happen ... blah blah blah : buy a new pcb on ebay i can't do mess blah blah.
It happened to me when i delivered to cRaig = user : teamatonic
blah blah blah blah ......
ok but huh?
so basicly he didn't want to exchange me nothing.
not even Give me an onze of money back
alright then I was madly mad
<I told him
:Take it back
He told me sorry i can't , but i will see what i can do
During that timeI then started to gut the cabinet (imagine a cab i just got & payed 380$ for .... already fucked up)
I listed it on maaca
as ''BURGERTIME CABINET + Control panel + EXTRA 19'' MONITOR for a price''
<rick calls me & says : HEy i can buy it tonight if you want but only 100$....
After 30 mins of discussion i decided to say yes
>His friend comes in
I think he comes on the forum
I will post his nick name once i find out
He gives me 100$
he doesn't have a clue what he is doing himself
he doesn't even know what he has to pick up
he pays me (NOT RICKs MONEY BUT HIS OWN MONEY)
& he leaves
DONE DEAL
Never planning to buy something from him
Then the BANG that everyone heard occuredRick during all this time was talking to B1 on Cgcc.ca
& was making a deal , for the cab i was actually selling to rick
But he was ''talking just like if i was selling it to B1..... wich i didn't even know''
so i have been blamed for something i never did.
& many people know he has a fishy reputation here
Many has PMED ME FROM MAACA & hate him without knowing him
Please post to show yourself!
many from St-jean , montreal , & other areas
some even know him from ccjvq.com
He they all know he sales broken machines & sets high shipping but you rarely hear any blast Directed to him!
AND I QUOTE TERRY EDWARDS : B1 on CGCC.Ca
Email received : march 27 ; 2007
He orignally said 400 then 300 and I laughed at him...
( I told him a friend would do it for nothing...so that should answer your
question as to if we are friends)
we know each other from the cgcc.ca and have had some deals in the past...but
not friends...

Yes slimy is what you think it is...not always a bad person...but can be
High pressure sales; will tell a person anything, like a used car
salesman...
Take care

In conclusion:I was a victim (BOO HOO HOO )
I learned a hell of a lesson there in this deal
im glad i took part of it
since Now i know how people crook there way in to make a buck or 2
I ask this time MOVE ON!
for christ sake
Stop playing that old record go buy the latest one!

& it sure as hell aint me!
I don't have nothing to lose
