Well in his eBay store he currently has over 100 Sealed games for sale right now most of them NES. Should be all kinds of fun sorting out that stuff.
Speaking of, shouldn't we mention his eBay account here for all of the new guys that wouldn't know otherwise? I know it's servicegames followed by some numbers with roughly 2300 feedback but I don't know the specifics...
just had a long "talk" with burmabill. when this smoke clears id like to share his side of the story. im not siding one way or another, but thought it would be fair to give him a voice to defend himself. tomorrow sometime. dont kill me
No offense robin, but I don't think most of us care to hear his side of the story. We are all pretty sick and tired of all his lies and scams. He can rationalize it all he wants, but the stuff he has done is wrong. We welcomed him back with open arms time and time again and he continues to fuck us over. He had his chance to be heard, and was....then he done it again...and again. There is NO excuse for cheating people out of stuff, end of story. ~~NGD

Agreed. I don't think many here will care about his side of the story. Hell, I didn't even really know the guy except from the incidents that have arisen with him from time to time. If he has the moral willingness to to not only rip someone off but to produce a fake high-ticket item in order to rip someone off then he shouldn't be a part of this community. He's just very honestly not worth our time.
Holy Crap, man i cant believe he tried to scam again, well i kinda can, but still. I always liked em aside from scamming people on reseals. But scamming again and again is pretty unforgiveable.
Oh and rest assured Dain the Caltron questionarre you got with my CIB caltron is definetly REAL. I got that CIB from a collector many manys years ago so rest assured your is a legit copy. And you should be able to pick out the differences in his and the real one. -Mark
How can his side of the story be anything but ridiculous? How can you talk your way out of producing fake manuals and resealing games with the intention of getting real market value for them?
Give me a break people. He has done this NUMEROUS times over the course of YEARS. He doesn't deserve any of the "wow, i've never had a problem with him" responses. Who cares? You got lucky. If he had his way, he would have taken you for all you had.
1.) the resealed was a mistake when he was 17 2.) he had the ebay afiliate thing before dain did and stopped when he found out dain was doing it 3.) that lots of people offered money for the SE and he got crucified because he won it 4.) he fessed up to the questionaire or whatever; said he "forgot" til he had packed it, but by that time the money was payed.... game was packed, so he said "screw it" and sent it
Regarding #1 - How does this make it right? You're old enough to work a job and drive a car at 17, so I'd hope you knew right from wrong by this age. 17 isn't 12.
Regarding #2 - Huh? You don't think it's wrong to profit off my hard work? The fact that you DID it in the first place means you're a snake.
Regarding #3 - As I said originally, just a lousy thing to do. Mentioning "lots of people" doesn't change the fact that YOU did.
Regarding #4 - So basically letting is slide is OK? BTW, Mario's Right Nut, we've not confirmed your questionnaire is a fake.
I noticed he didn't mention anything about insulting me on an ongoing basis.

Agreed!!!!!! Once a scammer,alway's a scammer and if it would have gotten swept under the rug,he would have done it over and over again.He made his bed now he has to lie in it.

thats exactly what he said word for word wow. down to the "screw it"
The only semi-relevant point here is #1, resealing at age 17. God only knows I made plenty of mistakes from age 16-18 that I would never do now. Many of them were "petty" mistakes, such as totaling my mom's car at age 16 by racing in a parking lot, but the punishment (grounded for a month during my junior summer / community service / financial reimbursement) made me learn my lesson. It's also worth noting that the internet has an "anonymous" feeling to it, and a young person could rationalize stealing from people they'll never know rather than people in their hometown.
As for 2, 3 and 4, those are still completely inexcusable and quite frankly the SE story makes my blood boil. A completed auction is a completed auction, end of story.
I really had no idea about all of this. I always thought Nick was a pretty decent guy. I have had many positive trades with him. I hate to see him go but sounds like its for the best.
