It's your own fault if you can't read description :
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING !!!! I'm not trying to rip anyone off, I've decided to start selling my tapes. I'll be as descriptive as I can in so far as describing the tapes & where I got them but please do your research before bidding. I know it's next to impossible to validate some demos as original and some of them I got from 'unsure' sources like ebay or privat trades. So please take a look at the pictures and decide for your own. I can't and I don't want to give you a guarantee. Any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks!

Not to mention: Some bands photocopied demo covers themselves, it was how they duplicated their original drawn cover!

Does anybody know this user:

http://www.ebay.pl/usr/aluphantom

I asked him for a picture of the OBI of his Heavy Load CD or pictures of the matrix and responded very rudely basicly saying to look at his feedback and that people like me ask for pictures and buy anyway. Is this guy known for selling bootlegs?

Check the bid retractions history of this user. I thought you were only able to retract a bid under certain circumstances, but it seems there will be no repercussions no matter how many bids you retract on a regular basis.

Who is this clown? Does anyone know?

Weird, I though the same just like I thought 3 unpaid item strikes meant: banned from ebay. In both cases I was proven wrong. Those ebay rules are extremely flexible it seems.

Thanks! I'm still completely at a loss as to why a user would have so many bid retractions. And why don't ebay ban the account? If you have rules and don't enforce them, what's the point in having rules?

As expected ... http://www.discogs.com/seller/metalmusic321

"fraudulent seller, he doesn't have the items, beware !"

"Worst communication ever, i sent the payment but the seller never sent the parcel, i have to use PayPal refund, don't trust, don't buy, worst Discogs buy experience ever"

"WARNING. Rip-off seller. Once I sent payment the seller ceased all communication. No goods shipped, and no reply for over a month. If something bad happened to them, I am sorry; but this just seems to be a case of dishonesty and/or criminal activity."


"BEWARE Rip-Off place, seller banned by discogs, he deleted my negative feedback moving the status to NON PAYING BUYER... fortunately, seller provide via PM a PayPal, but i asked and received a refund because i felt the risk, ask Discogs 4 help"


"100% RIP-OFF place, seller account disabled by discogs, he deleted all the negative feedbacks from the buyers in moving the status to NON PAYING BUYERS... fortunately, i didn't pay because i felt the risk and i absolutely made the good choice."

I would suggest to all you guys to block on ebay this chinese scam artist: thrasher1101 aka metalkreatormuxi aka driver19880224 (yes it's always him)

Apparently, he always does the same trick (look at his feedbacks, there are PLENTY like this), buy a rare cd/lp, say that "it doesn't play" or it's in "bad shape", pretending a refund or else he would leave a negative (feedback extortion), and then open paypal dispute to have all money back.

Ebay has already blocked him as a seller ... we all need to block him as a buyer too :evil:

I'm curious as to why the two Discogs guys who left negs for metalmusic321 wrote almost the exact same text. Same misspellings, grammatical errors and choice of words. Still, one is from Colombia and one from France. Weird.

A couple of feedbacks disappeared because the scammer used the "non paying buyer" button, each negative disappears instantly. But yes this is weird, one must have copy/pasted the other :)
