He never uses periods. You always have to decipher his English. Regarding what you say, Wizard, you’re lying as always. The account you have at eBay is still up, and I know you’ve tried to sell the games out of eBay. The Virtual Boy community is not so big as you imagine, and we usually search in Internet for sellers before actually buying. Good luck selling to your Australian buyer, but he’s aware of what’s happening.

Of course, as I said, I can’t do anything with what happened to me, but at least I was able to avoid you ripping off other people. It’s obvious that, if you keep on trying, you will end up finding someone you can rip off. The thing is I was able to avoid it this time. Oh, and maybe people would like to know what happened with you and police when you went through a red light. Remember you appear at Peterboroughtoday? Here:

You have too much vanity, Michael. Don’t think I can’t sleep because of this, because it’s not the case. I just saw your auctions and thought that I wouldn’t let what happened to me, happen again. If you really want to sell your games, you should first think about their legitimate owner who paid for them and never received them. But of course, you won’t do that, since you are a ripper and you’ve always been the same.

That’s how he acts. I’ve got lots of e-mails from last year, when I was ripped off, with a similar way of acting. It’s worthless to worry. I lost my money and I can’t do anything about that, but I’m really happy I was able to avoid another two rip-offs. 😉

Oh, and by the way, I never said you didn’t get them legally, I say that you got them and, when you decided to sell them at eBay, got MY money and NEVER SENT the games to me… 😕

Hey “Wizard”, are you Mr. “Electricalmick”, or are you Mr. “dgosgotaclingon”, or Mr. “Sparkeyflex”, or all of them the same one who ripped me off the games maybe? Curiously enough, the auctions have been ended soon. Mmm, may I guess why? Nah, I shouldn’t bother guessing.

When I was ripped-off the money last year, I told the ripper, who by the way is Mr. Michael Starkey and has a pending deal with the Spanish authorities because of this rip-off (but of course you know that, no?), that I would do my best so that nobody was ever ripped off by him. Never.

Oh, and how do you take so much offence by seeing his name appear in the forum? Everyone should know who the can and can’t deal with, mostly since ripping off people at eBay seems so simple as ripping off, waiting two months to create a new account and then begin the process again. And of course, I have evidence of everything I say here. The same evidence I presented last year to the police, along with the proof of payment, the e-mails exchanged (full of contradictions) and such.

Anyway, let’s people compare and decide by their own. Here’s the feedback of the person that ripped me off:

And here I upload the two auctions I was ripped off last year in .MHT format, so that people can compare and decide by themselves (I have to disconnect from the Internet to get them loaded, so if it doesn’t load or seem hang, just remove the RJ-45 cable or disable WiFi to get the old auctions loaded).

In fact, I reported those two auctions at eBay because I believe they are material which was technically stolen to me last year, since I paid for them and never received them. What do you think, Mr. “Wizard”? Did I help the Virtual Boy Community by avoiding another rip-off?

Here’s a pic this guy sent me last year. In it, you can see Virtual Bowling and SD Gundam. If you check SD Gundam’s box, you can see two white marks on the top left margin, near the edge. Those two same marks are in the picture of the current ebay auction. So there you are, another proof of what I am saying.

Careful, be VERY careful with the two current ebay auctions for Virtual Bowling and SD Gundam, I have good sense to believe they are rip-off’s. The auctions are these two:

Check a post I’ve set at this forum giving advice. If you don’t believe me, just bid, and if you’re the winner and find that the seller is a guy called “Michael Starkey”, and his e-mail is “sparkeyflex@ntlworld.com”, do NOT send him any money (unless you want to lose it, of course). I can send e-mails demonstrating that this guy ripped me off last year with those two games.

I hope it helps so that nobody gets ripped. And if somebody thinks I’m doing this so that prices don’t go up, I can supply e-mails demonstrating everything I say. I even spoke with the British Police, but I was told that the best thing I could do is get the money eBay gave me for this rip-off and forget about everything, so there you go, total unprotection at eBay… It’s very sad! 🙁

The games were Virtual Bowling and SD Gundam. You can read about him here:

Albeit this article, everything seemed great and he seemed an honest person. He even sent me pictures of both games in front of the computer with an online news page (to check he really had the games), and since he said he just “lost interest” in the Virtual Boy, I thought he really wanted to get rid of the games. In fact, he had bought them from eBay previously, so I thought he would be honest… A pitty, since I already had problems with Virtual Bowling some years ago. It seems I’m “jinxed” with Virtual Bowling and SD Gundam, and of course, I’ve lost interest in ending my collection :-((((

Well, I can say that prices of ultra rare games are still very high. Unfortunately, my objective of completing my collection has collapsed after I was ripped off at eBay recently by a UK user. He even sent me pictures of the games in front of the computer so that I trusted him, making everything “legal”. Now I know that he has the games and my money, and that he is not willing to send the games nor the money back to me. Of course, Spanish Police, UK Police and eBay are also aware of this, and he has been reported… No comments, but that I lost 865 UK Pounds… 🙁
