View Full Version : New Tennant in the Doghouse - Collinwood2003
y2k3Joker 05-10-2006, 03:26 PM Memo To: Collingwood2003
When we make arrangements for a trade over 2 months ago, you figure we'd be finished by now.
I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt even after other boards have kicked you out on your ASS - But when you ignore e-mails and personal PM's from this site when I know you have been on every single day and corresponded with other traders, means you're back to pulling some of your old stunts you are famous for. (I'll print a neat little bio on her after I get permission from the original author)
Don't make trades and GO through them ONLY when you think it benefits you. Don't try and change things midway through and don't try and bye time always with lies and excuses.
Anyways just want to put it out there for others - you can make up your minds about trading with this person yourself.
Lamont 05-10-2006, 03:56 PM Mr Joker sir?
can u tell us all what sets u r SUPPOSED to be getting from young miss collinwood?
i may very well be adding to this thread in the extremely near future
loren 05-10-2006, 05:52 PM im not makeing a comment on this person at this time
i know for a fact that several people have info on this trader
at least 10 have emailed me looking for help with her
this bad trader list, is worthless if people dont come foward and post their factual stories
i will not fight every bad trader battle for youall and have youall sit back there and enjoy a fairly safe trade area
its your duty as board members to help rid the area of poor, bad, etc traders
tell the stories
sometimes it just takes a good wake up jolt to shock them into doing the correct thing,
othertimes, its in the groups best interest to elimate the cancer
either way, dont tell me in private, and dont complain to a moderator , heres your chance to tell the truth , right out in the open
the joker has opened the subject
now its on youall
savageamusement 05-10-2006, 06:10 PM I agree with the notion that things should be kept private if possible.
I agree that communication should start, with those involved only.
But I also feel that many times people fear coming forward, for the fear of being viewed as a trouble maker.
Some fear "retaliation feedback"
I think some fear does more harm then good.
And people often times keep quiet thinking they are keeping the peace- when in all honesty sometimes the direct feedback from joint sources can help a trade change thier ways, or motivate them to see a different perspective.
Feedback, in the way of a complaint can be done kindly- and constructively.
And doesn't have to be done in a harsh or even tarnishing way.
But to avoid dicussing, avoid complaining, and avoid confronting
Certainly wont' solve anything.
I have heard many a viewpoint on this particular user- and while I hope things can be resolved, I also hope that as long as the platform is open it be used to state how some people have felt, quietly.
So that some resolution can be found.
Lamont 05-10-2006, 10:29 PM OK Well, It is with a lot of hesitation that I am posting about some problems here... because Collinwood2003 has always seemed like a good person, and I still think she is a nice person.
In fact when this popped up today, I emailed her again and asked her to let me know what was going on, and gave her until dinner time to reply. I waited until later in the evening to hear back and never did.
I have been trading with her ever since I was a newbie on this board. And I can say that I have had the same problems repeatedly. And I think that the reason that I have had these issues is because of "Overeagerness" to trade. You know, Pre-Trading... trading stuff that you DO NOT have yet. This is ALWAYS a bad move.
I will not go into every single trade we have ever had, but I will say that more often than not, I have ended up waiting extreme amounts of time to get missing discs, or replaced discs and so on. And the reason has been that she did NOT have them yet, because the trade had been set up BEFORE she actually got the set in. It happens sometimes, BUT when it happens ALL THE TIME, it gets annoying, 5 weeks wait for the missing batman disc, 3 months for the missing 8 simple rules disc, 2 months for the missing HULK discs, etc....
Also, another problem of the PRE TRADE=== I made a trade for an UNCUT set of a certain show, u know FULL LENGTH versions---NOT SYNDICATED CUTS, and since it was a PRE TRADE i ended up with a 35 disc set of a show, that I allready had complete on 11 discs, SAME QUALITY and SAME LENGTH OF THE EPS, she didnt know i suppose, because it was PRE TRADED before she had it in hand.....
This last trade has been more so than others---- I set up a trade with her for 2 series, JUST SHOOT ME and GROWING PAINS. Both were supposed to be complete......
Well, a good time ago (almost 2 months) I received JUST SHOOT ME (about 4-6 weeks after the trade was set up) and although it was Supposed to be complete, it was missing approximately 40 episodes. I informed her of this at that time, and she told me that Loren had made the set himself and it was complete. SO i checked with Loren---not his work, and I checked the set again, still not complete. So I asked again for it to be fixed. To date, she does NOT have the redos in to her yet, so of course, I do not either.
Growing Pains. This is the set with No menus, supposed to be redone with nice menus and all----well, a month ago or so, I got an email and PM stating that the set "WAS DONE and would ship in the morning".. several days later, still nothing, So I checked again and got the same reply, and again nothing. This happened 3 times and still nothing... then about 10 days ago, I get an email that the set has 2 bad discs? SO i asked HOW CAN IT HAVE 2 bad discs now, when u had it done a month ago? OK Whatever--- so she mailed me 11 of the 13 discs out and was gonna get the 2 bad ones, RIGHT OUT---- well last week i got 9--not 11 of the 13 discs, and asked what happened? and she said she didnt know I needed season 1, even though I had stressed repeatedly that I did. Anyway, she was going to mail out the missing discs--- LAST MONDAY---NOT this monday, BUT A WEEK AGO monday---- and she noticed the set was missing the holiday episodes BUT she had 3 of them on vhs and was gonna transfer those 3 eps on Friday (last week) and mail them right out--- OK, its wednesday now, she lives about 2 hours from me, and STILL not a package with the missing discs, and still not a package with the holiday eps transfered and STILL nothing on the JUST SHOOT ME ( she did mention who she got them from in the UK--- and it appears that she owes HIM some discs, and maybe he aint gonna ship those to her, until he gets what she owes him) PS-- you know who you are UK GUY and i hope u speak up too! :wave:
So after all this time, I have about 2/3 of 1 set and 9 of 13 (well 14 with the holiday eps) of another. I have asked REPEATEDLY what is going on, and I get replies that DO NOT ANSWER ANY OF THE QUESTIONS AT ALL. I have asked for SPECIFIC information such as 1. DO U HAVE THE JUST SHOOT ME REDOS on the way to you or not? 2. DID U MAIL THE G.P. Discs? 3. DID U TRANSFER the 3 holiday eps or not? and I have gotten no replies. Now mind u, the 9 i got look nice---- BUT it should not be like pulling teeth to get trades done!
ALSO, It has been brought to my attention that she has asked ANOTHER TRADER I DEAL WITH A LOT, I wont "OUT" him unless he wants to verify it, that she asked him to get some discs she needs from me, DISCS THAT I AM SUPPOSED TO SEND TO HER AFTER SHE GETS ME WHAT SHE OWES ME--- and the fact that she asks another person to get them FOR HER--- does not build much faith or confidence that she will fix this matter anytime soon.
ALSO, on MARCH 30th (U CAN ALL CHECK) she posted THIS about having DR KILDAIRE complete-----
I am checking this over to make sure all the epsiodes are there. Did a quick check and it goes up to 191 now I"m doing the a more better check.
She had asked If I wanted THAT SET also, 6 weeks ago, and EVEN THOUGH she stated that it has all 191, I have been informed that the set is missing like 30-40 eps, and she is scrambling to get them from other members ( YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE "OTHER MEMBERS" and I HOPE YOU SPEAK UP TOO!) Then I get emails stating that she has CORRECTED the missing eps and theyre on the way, and then next email, they are not.. and on and on.
WHY IS THIS ALL HAPPENING?????? Pre-Trading! When a trader sets up trades with stuff THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE YET--- this junk will happen. It appears that Collinwood2003 had the best of intentions and was overly eager to get some new stuff REAL FAST and she set up trades for stuff that she was GETTING in soon--- well if u dont have it in hand, YOU DO NOT KNOW if it is complete, or if it is working, or what the deal is--- and u end up shipping out sets that are all messed up, or have missing discs, eps etc---
I have been contacted by other members who are SUPPOSED to get sets that may or may not be in hand yet---- and although she meant well-- the fact that I have 2 sets in hand, both of which are NOT completed, or even close and its been like 2 months waiting on redos on 1, and several weeks on the other---- THIS IS WHY TRADERS SHOULD NEVER Trade a set until they get it in and get it checked and make sure its in order.
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES---- we all end up with a set we thought was complete but was missing an ep or 2, we all get in too deep and get behind sometimes--- it happens. BUT i have been informed that this has been going on FOR YEARS, not occasionally BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT--- and it has to stop--- no matter how eager you might be, DO NOT TRADE STUFF TIL U GET IT IN HAND! never, ever, ever, ever
Now what has happened, is that a bunch of traders are all expecting stuff, and it appears that it is all a big display of dominoes--- with trader X owed stuff, and that stuff is NOT in hand yet because Trader Y is waiting for the stuff that she is supposed to get from Trader Z and on and on and on and on...... and all it takes is one chink in the armor to make it all fall apart.
So for the record---- I can say this, YES collinwood2003 IS INDEED A nice person, I like her as a person and think she is a good soul. YES I have gotten some great sets from her, some that I was really glad to have. NO i do not think she needs to go on the Bad Trader List (at least not just yet or just b/c of my issues) and NO I do not want this to become personal at all.
WHAT DO I WANT? Well, I want her to fix this mess and get back on track.... she needs to get in touch and quickly and correctly fix the situations she now has with several traders, I really would like to have tehse sets, and have them fixed and usable----
This is NOT a situation with a person like WOLF11 or sue maples, because Collinwood2003 CAN BE a good trader when she doesnt jump the gun, and she CAN BE a valuable member of the trading post-----
I just want this to be fixed, and to have some real communication that actually answers the questions asked and then, do not pre-trade for sets u do not have in hand yet..... it makes no sense.... if it is a super rare set--- then take the time, check it out and make sure u know what you are talking about BEFORE you set up a trade..... it is MUCH EASIER to tell people, that you will EMAIL THEM when u get it in, then to have to stall and delay and BS people for 3 or 4 months while u scramble about and try to fix it after the fact. I know that collinwood2003 has heard this before, b/c I have been contacted with people who had these same issues 2 YEARS AGO....
maybe its time to take a serious look at things and make it right. sometimes the best thing to do is to admit you screwed up and be straight with everyone and let us know what is going on
Lamont 05-10-2006, 10:31 PM I have been contacted in the last 2 weeks by SEVERAL members with similar issues---- and I hope that you all post what is going on too, you dont have to be mean or make it personal, BUT problems like this can be resolved, peacefully by dealing with them direct
Sometimes it feels like only me, loren and joker ever speak up about problems like this---- the silent majority needs to be a little less silent sometimes!
kix_dude 05-10-2006, 11:53 PM Angie was the first person I ever traded with off this board. I even let her "barrow" some of my master tapes so she could transfer them to DVD before I was able to do it myself. I never had any problems with her at all. Hopefully she comes through with the trade.
loren 05-11-2006, 12:23 AM Sometimes it feels like only me, loren and joker ever speak up about problems
and which one of these three usualy tries for a group hug??
and the lets all kiss and make up??
i guess your girl friend in the video, didnt slap your lips totaly off
Collinwood2003 05-11-2006, 12:29 AM Hey Chris. I did send your package out. I been so tired lately to let you know. I did include lots of extras for you. I don't mind sending first I actually love to send first. Please let me know when you get my package.
savageamusement 05-11-2006, 12:45 AM Since this issue has been brought up, first by Joker, and then Lamont- Collinwood if you feel comfortable, maybe you can try to talk out, owrk out some of the conflicting messages that seem to be frustrating at least 2 of the users here?
If not here, I would encourage you to discuss it privately- but to approach it with facts and set guidelines.
Such as, instead of saying "id like to trade growing pains for sabrina- something more concerete :
I have Growing pains, on 25 discs. It is missing 12 episodes. I can mkae copies and send out Friday the 16th. I will put delivery conf on the package.
I think sometimes as we get older in our trades and more comfortable- sometimes we assume things, and take for granted some ideas and choices that might not be choices, but expectations.
I dont think any user expects a trade of discs out overnight, but most do want, and expect a set date- and when those items to arrive
It to be what they were expecting- in many cases they are for another trade.
so when a package comes short of 12 episodes, or missing discs- it is and can be very frustrating to them-
I have also found, as we trade and get more comfortable we CHECK our own items less.
I recently swore my set of Always Sunny Burned- and was wrong and dispaointed a couple traders- now trying to replace it.
Another time, I had traded with someone so often I just assumed everything was fine, and realized months later a certain brand of media was incompatable with my machines, and frustrated both of us, simply because I didn't check sooner.
So what could have been only 20 discs to replace, turned out to be hundreds.
Don't assume, always check your stuff so that your media is as reliable as you are.
Just some humble opinions.
I think a few members are looking for closure and feel this is a repetative situation- and yes a few have asked my advice- which you are aware of- since I approached you.
So since the point and opinions are out in the public, maybe you can dicuss them and come to a compromise?
But to only reply, stating some discs went out to a user who posted- doesn't help resolve anything :(
You don't have to do it publically, but I think you will find some constructive criticism, and maybe some hellpful advice can be had in the forums.
y2k3Joker 05-11-2006, 01:06 AM Hey Chris. I did send your package out. I been so tired lately to let you know. I did include lots of extras for you. I don't mind sending first I actually love to send first. Please let me know when you get my package.
The only way this statement will have any meaning to me is if the date of the postmark on the package is any date before today.
- if it's marked May 11th (tomorrow's date) or later, the only thing I along with any others in similar situations with you will be able to conclude is, that you are trying to save face after receiving some negative feedback.
-I can understand if someone is tired with work or other commitments and can't complete an order or trade but when old trades are getting pushed back in favor of new ones, well .....
I didn't post this to "scare" you into sending me anything. Believe me, I can find anything i want to add to my list with a couple of e-mails.
The purpose was to alert others of how you have operated in the past - apparently a lot of people are not happpy with you for various reasons. Hopefully people will approach you with caution from now on.
I also agree, there's only a select few of us who take chances and are willing to take the bullet for the group (in retaliation feedback) but so be it. It's a dirty job, but somebody's got do it
Lamont 05-11-2006, 07:00 AM well I see that she posted sending a pacakge to Joker----
no replies to me here, no replies to spooky here
and i got a bunch of emails
I got several emails from her AFTER this post went up--- no replies all week until then---
1 email says she is sorting through all the emails and will let me know
2 next email asked why i was posting this? WELL The answer is this, I have asked her OVER AND OVER the same questions and not gotten any answers to them---- still no answers to my questions even after all this
SO TO POST AGAIN----- 1. CAN THE JUST SHOOT ME REPLACEMENTS BE SENT OR NOT--- it APPEARS that Spooky has been waiting since Jan for stuff from her---- SO I DO NOT KNOW HOW WILLING TO SEND THEM TO HER he is going to be
2. DID U SEND ME THE GROWING PAINS missing 4 discs?
3. DID U send me the 3 vhs eps trasnfered to dvd?
PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD QUESTIONS
please rsvp and answer them for me
AGAIN, i like her, and we have had some good swaps, she even sent me 2 missing eps last year i needed to complete a set
BUT it looks like the only way this mess is gonna be cleared up is publicly
Lamont 05-11-2006, 07:17 AM a few quick notes
1. I was written by Collinwood that
"It was mostly you causing all the trouble." -- apparently, ALL THE ANGRY TRADERS are simply not true and lamont is a troublemaker?? Gee, arent I the one who ALWAYS tries to make peace? and says the KISS AND MAKE UP LINE???? even to the point of making stomachs turn?
me causing all the trouble?
and this is simply NOT TRUE AT ALL
if she READS this post, it will be obvious that
1. Joker is not happy, 2. Loren is NOT happy, 3. Spooky is NOT happy, 4. Randazzo also seems to have problem, 5. I am not happy--- THIS IS NOT EVEN INLCLUDING 2 other traders who apparently are not willing to post about it.... IT IS NOT SIMPLY MEAN OLD LAMONT, maam
ALSO
i do not understand what is going on, LAST I HEARD a few days ago the JUST SHOOT ME redos were going to be to me soon, NEW EMAIL SAYS to JUST SEND THEM BACK TO HER?????? Please clarify
also written " I been sending first with everyone for over a month now which I don't mind at all doing. " THAT IS FINE WITH ME, BUT DOES NOT HELP MY SITUATION AT ALL_-- u also SENT FIRST TO ME--- -BUT if u send messed up sets with discs STILL MISSING_---- then that does NOT complete the trade--- and NOTHING is sent from the other end UNTIL u fix---- THAT IS THE PROBLEM here, yes i didnt send first, BUT have been waiting MONTHS for the rest of it, and having to go back and forth over and over all the time---- and this is NOT the first time this happened, its like the 4th or 5th trade like this.
ALSO WRITTEN " I didn't have to put the 3 growing pains on dvd for you. I just did that as a favor. " TRUE, BUT ONCE U TELL SOMEONE U R DOING IT, it is NOW part of the trade--- if i tell joker--- I GOT THE MISSING 2 CRAPOLA THEATRES joker, and im sending them with the lucy stuff, THEN HE IS EXPECTING ME TO SEND and its not just a favor anymore, its an AGREED UPON PART OF THE TRADE
ALSO, when someone DOES A FAVOR and helps out, that does not excuse problems a YEAR LATER-- we have all done that, sent someone a missing ep to complete a set, and YES we all appreciate it and try to even it out, BUT a year later, noone STILL OWES anyone for a "favor" like that
I really like her, but i do not like being portrayed as the bad guy, because I want the stuff i was supposed to have months ago, i mean im not being unreasonable or unfair to her at all--- she said she would send the stuff out, she has told me OVER AND OVER AND OVER that she was fixing the stuff---i just want it done, PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH DIRECT ANSWERS or POST THEM HERE PLEASE
ALSO, here is the rest of the story--- OUR LAST TRADE or 2 apparently she got 3 defective discs--- i guess she didnt notice at first they were bad or such and asked me for redos to be sent out -- WHEN SHE SET UP THIS TRADE WITH ME--- I specifically asked "DO U NEED NOW? OR SHOULD I SEND WITH THE WHOLE TRADE?" and she said " JUST SEND WITH THE WHOLE TRADE" so that was the deal, we agreed to it and made it official. I am sorry that now she has had months of issues in fulfilling the trade, BUT that was what SHE agreed to and I aint changing it in mid stream---- BECAUSE I fear that if i were just to send out the 3 redos now, THEN I WILL NOT GET THIS RESOLVED for another 3 months.
So there is NO NEED for anyone to ask any other trader to GET THOSE 3 DISCS b/c mean old lamont wont send them, b/c i will send EVERYTHING we agreed on once this deal is complete----- IN FACT THE STUFF IS ALL READY AND DONE AND WAITING and has been for over 2 months.
PLEASE let me know what is up, IF U CANNOT FIX THIS MATTER< please let me know so i can look elsewhere for it, IF U CAN, and i really hope u can then do so and post me the facts.
Lamont 05-11-2006, 07:22 AM How can someone who has been around for such a long time, doesnt know how it works?
i wont OUT anyone, BUT a moderator I know
knows that these problems and patterns have gone on for SEVERAL YEARS, and collinwood2003 DOES know how it works
so i dont know why the PRE TRADING Continues
Lamont 05-11-2006, 07:27 AM just re read it all
the whole thread again
i do not understand at all
all the problems that were touched on, all the issues CLEARLY stated, information requested
and the ONLY reply that is made is to joker saying I SENT YOU A PACKAGE???? :(
loren 05-11-2006, 10:37 AM had this been a one time oopsie, or mistake, it would be easy to pass off and move along
the trouble is it hasnt been an oopsie or mistake, but rather a behavior pattern
i have a completely different set of the same problems with her, as lamont
angie has always been a very nice person, thats not at question
whats at question is why a supposely honest and nice person, runs into the same thing time aftre time, and now it seems she has taken the excuse habit into the flat out lie habit
i love the one she wrote to lamont that the just shoot me set was a loren creation, i never had that set, or any part of it,
what kinda liar tells lamont a story about me??
not a very smart liar, since we speak a few hours a week, on the phone
a bit of history
i made a swap to get a rockford files set from angie last year
well after numerous set backs and excuses, something came in the mail
the rockfords were only 45 eps short, on a 120 episode set
so she claims theres 3 discs that were poor and shes waiting on them
so now theres 15 hours of eps on each of those three discs??
since 45 eps are missing
after about three weeks of more excuses
i returned the 40 some discs and made a deal to get a 23 discs set in its place, so i loose 22 discs at best plus the postage
but i get something eventualy
guess what
the 23 disc set isnt complete either
three discs missing and after another month
i found them elsewhere
i wrote it off as a learning experience
next adventure
she emails and has this and that
another adventure was had and more problems
but smooth in the angie scope of things
then another offer for a trade and of cousre, this time she has it in hand and its all good, she made the set
well i got the 8 simple rules and of cousre its not complete either
i end up getting the fillers from from another person after the normal excuses and lengthy wait
at this point im done with angie
flat out, the only way i would play anymore, is if she sends first
she emails and says she has this and that, and i just pass it off
then she gets caught again
she makes a deal with another person for incredable hulk--uncut
her own creation
well she seems to be quite a bit short of her set
so she begs me for some to fill her in, she actualy sends me what shes supposed to this time, of cousre i insisted she send first
guess what now??
she adds my shows to the rest of hers and tries to pass them off as uncut
well mine werent, and neither were hers
none of the set is uncut
its the same set i had all along, just on more discs now
oh my goodness
she knew mine werent uncut, i told her they werent
now shes off the list for good of my avaible traders
she still emails me , and now shes after some other fillers , i just pass, i knew they were part of lamonts deal
so she says, i promise to not tell lamont if you send me these---wrong--i dont play that stuff, their deal--or mess has nothing to do with me, i stay clear
she strying to bypass giving him his stuff, hes holding these for ransom
more time passes
she then emails and promises me she has a kildare set complete on 80 discs
she says ____ will not give her perfect strangers, so she will give me kildare for prefect and some other stuff to equal 80 discs
i run the you send first and ill verify it, and send your stuff
so no risk on my part--i think
well here it goes again
excuses after excuses
i swear 6 different ship dates came and went
more problems etc
then the old, well its 76 good discs and im waiting on 3 redos
i guess she figures no one has phones or email, since i found she was trying to make a deal for 30 plus filler episodes
i told her long ago
ship what you have in hand
i woulld rather have 3./4 of a set, than nothing, on a old and hard to get show from the 60s
but i need to know it before the deal gets made , if its full or what %
more and more ship dates go by and that leads up to yesterdays celeberty roast
and to make matters even more jumbled
she finds time to sell things on ioffer during this entire mess
but cant find the time to follow through on trade obligations
so now just last night i get another email that says she shipped my stuff yesterday
i believe this is either 7 or 8 ship dates now on this package
but still no del con for the package, even though i made that part of the original deal, i know how poor mail system is in that region of the country
and its the same promise i got last wednesday, the same one i got for a monday ship, and now all of a sudden another promise
it really blows when a person falls into the pit like this, could she been reported the first time she had a problem, perhaps
i dont make reports on 95% of the people who have screwed up the works
its reserved for people who are just flat out thieves
and their names are well documented,and they earned their spot on the bad trader list
i didnt put angie in that class at all,
but i do have to report this and also the fact that she has demonstarted the new poor habit of telling lies, and worst of all telling one here to cover up for one over there
i think she has a real passion for the shows, and i know she gets all excited about getting new stuff, so much so that it consumes her
but im sure we have all heard that idea before
with her new poor habit of lies, and her constant pattern of not sending what shes supposed to, i now need to change my opinion and add her as a candidate to the bad trader list,
anyone can get into a hole, angie has shown zero effort to stop and dig out, she repeats the same thing over and over
and just last night she emails me and blames old junk yard boy lamont for her troubles, since he didnt send the fillers for the two sets, its caused her this set of problems
sorry but she had a boat load of issues way way previous to any lamont involvement
its sad to make excuses and blame others for your mess
was it lamonts fault that you lied about the rockfords last year as well???
even if she did send the stuff she claims, and even if she did send to chris on whatever date---
that still doesnt cover the long laundry list of issues that she has outstanding
i submit her name, as a candidate , for the bad trader list
loren 05-11-2006, 10:45 AM in the interest of fairness
we should stick to first hand facts in this and any case like it
if michael, or stinky223, or whomever has an issue with angie
let them come foward and tell their story
here-say is not fair at all
picture yourself on the hot seat
would it be fair that someone says, _______ and _______ had issues with you
and you cant defend yourself or even answer the statement??
padre 05-11-2006, 10:47 AM ...and people wonder why I've reduced my trading activities to a select few traders....
JoshFromKC 05-11-2006, 12:52 PM I would like to share my experience with Collinwood2003.
The first trade I set up with her was through another board, and I traded her for the 36 disc Family Ties sets. The set ended up taking weeks and weeks to get to me, when I finally got the set, every disc worked fine, except 2 discs were missing. I emailed Collinwood over and over, finally saying they were going out. After another significant amount of time, I emailed again, and she said she would send the 2 discs again.
Well, I never got the 2 discs from her, after another week or so, I went to MichealRandazzo and got the replacements from him. I think she mentioned padding future packages more so they are not lost, I don't know.
After that, I avoided trading with her for some time, until recently when she messaged me about a set I was after. We set up a 40 disc trade, but this time she agreed to send first, I figured that would give me a couple weeks to get the discs burned. Well, after 6 weeks, I got the discs, all in working order. Everyone gets behind with real life or whatever, but whenever I am going to be late on a trade, I try my best to let people know.
I don't think bad traders should be limited to people who only rip people off. Collinwood has been nice to me, and the discs have come through, but compared to every other good trade I have had, these 2 have been the longest.
Lamont 05-11-2006, 12:59 PM simply a matter of getting behind
ITS A QUESTION OF A YEARS LONG pattern of consistently trading things that SHE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE YET
a pattern of KNOWINGLY sending out pacakges with missing discs, and often not even telling people they were missing
a pattern of leaving people waiting for months and months for the missing discs and often NOT SENDING THEM EVER
and people having to get replacements elsewhere
keep in mind, this is NOT a 1 time thing or a 2 time thing, or even a 10 time thing, THIS IS A MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THING
and YES i do like her and all, BUT i think people have all just gotten really tired of having to deal with this each and every trade
and when she asked Loren to get her the 3 discs she needs from me, that really was the last straw, b/c it sent a message to me that she was NOT gonna do right by me
i hope im wrong but the facts speak for themselves
loren 05-11-2006, 01:43 PM and when she asked Loren to get her the 3 discs she needs from me, that really was the last straw, b/c it sent a message to me that she was NOT gonna do right by me
i
and yes i did foward the email directly to lamont, within minutes
anyone who pulls that type of thing, isnt honest
she was hanging him out to dry
she openly admitted that he wouldnt send them to her unless she sent whatever
Agent 13 05-11-2006, 01:45 PM I don't want to discount the complaints made about Collinwood2003, but I've been trading with her for almost three years. All of my DVD trading experiences with her have been very positive, and she's always replaced defective discs within a decent amount of time.
Lamont 05-11-2006, 01:54 PM im glad that you have not had these problems that the rest of us have had---- maybe u r lucky, maybe she likes u, maybe she swaps with u after she actually gets the sets
i dont know
but i do know that i have had at least half a dozen troubled swaps with her and we have allready heard from loren, spooky, joshinkc and joker about the same thing, I know of 3 other members who have not yet posted with the same issues and a moderator as well
so it seems, more often than not....
Lamont 05-11-2006, 01:57 PM and yes i did foward the email directly to lamont, within minutes
anyone who pulls that type of thing, isnt honest
she was hanging him out to dry
she openly admitted that he wouldnt send them to her unless she sent whatever
does anyone else think that is UNCOOL to do? email someone else to ask to get her those discs, INSTEAD OF HER JUST SENDING ME what she is supposed to and then i will send them to her?
i mean sending first is fine and all, BUT IT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE if someone sends first, and sends MANY MANY missing discs, and STILL EXPECTS YOU TO SEND YOUR STUFF OUT TO THEM --- BEFORE they fix it?
Michael Randazzo 05-11-2006, 02:25 PM I have made about seven trades with Angie, I have always gotten what we agreed upon. It has taken a little longer then I had wanted it to, but she does send it out, and if there is a coaster she does jump through hoops to make it right.
This last trade was for about 300 disk's and it has been longer then I would have liked, but we are down to Darma and Greg and one replacement disk.
I can say, she has always returned my emails, a couple days after I send it. I understand some people don't check email daily. I would say be patient and she will come thru. I would trade with her again, I just know ahead of time it will take awhile.
I know if I trade with Loren, Lamont, Joker, Padre and some others, that the next day or so, my stuff is on the way. With Angie I know it will take longer, no worries I am ok with that.
I don't know her personally and she is not my girlfriend or wife, this is my opinion, I know we all have them. Thanks and God Bless
Michael
y2k3Joker 05-11-2006, 03:00 PM It's frustrating because after 10-12 weeks of waiting you don't know if you should just say FORGET it and go and get what she was supposed to send you from someone else - and then 2 days later, the package arrives and you have to fullfill that end of the trade with her also. What do you do then?
We've all traded with her numerous times, with varying degrees of success. Mistakes happen some times sure, and we've all overlooked them in the past and we've continued to trade with this person despite that, so we're not exactly piling on here.
The comments left here by me yesterday was my experience with this trader. Just as we leave positive comments for trades that go well, it's just as useful to read & post about trades that didn't go down as well.
Some people may not mind the waiting, some people do however. It's a personal preference on the way some of us like to operate. I like working with people that share my opinion - doesn't mean it's right or wrong.
I would much prefer finding out anything I can about a trader beforehand if possible. It could save me a lot of wasted time and energy down the road.
Lamont 05-11-2006, 04:02 PM I am not talking about a LITTLE BIT LONGER HERE, i am talking about SEVERAL MONTHS, and the reason for such a mess is that she traded the items to me BEFORE SHE EVEN HAD THEM IN HER HANDS, and she is waiting on redos from others, BUT they are not sending them out because THEY are waiting on redos from her and on and on and on....
that is what happens when u tell too many tall tales!!!
Lamont 05-11-2006, 07:23 PM I honestly do not know what to say folks, I emailed those questions to Angie
I posted them here asking DIRECT AND STRAIGHT FORWARD to know what was up with the trade
and this is her reply to me
Just please send me the 3 replacements and that will be the last you will hear of me. That is all I"m asking.
I mean, WERE THE QUESTIONS I POSED not direct enough/????
is there ANY WAY ON EARTH i can be more direct and ask for information
I mean, if the trade is NOT GONNA happen, just tell me
savageamusement 05-11-2006, 09:59 PM All of my DVD trading experiences with her have been very positive, and she's always replaced defective discs within a decent amount of time.
Well I think bad or good, the source should always be considered when feedback is left.
If someone has low expectations of a trade, they are going to be more easily satisifed then someone else.
And it doesn't matter if you have 5 people that can praise you, it doesn't negate the complain in question as it is relevent to you personally.
How does it help Lamont, if Angie traded Jen successfully?
It doesn't.
And i think in all fairness because Angie had a good track record with other people this has gone unresolved far longer and in private then any other trader would have.
Meanwhile, as Lamont said- Specific questions were asked- and in private emails or here, the questions were zoomed over, and not answered.
How is anything to be resolved that way.
Several users are complaining of the same complaint/characteristic-
And the only comment made thus far was to let someone unrelated know thier discs went out-and that leaves one questioning-why was that trade concluded, while other trades have been going on- as Spooky said, since January?
Its' great that things got taken care of with Agent13 and Mike R-
That is excellent to know.
But on the other hand it also shows things CAN be resolved- and in that case, how come Spooky, Loren, Lamont, and Joker are frustrated?
Being a good trader isn't something you do selectively.

I agree 100% with Savage's comments and for the record I had 2 good trades with Angie last year BUT
If this were 1 person or maybe even 2 people complaining about a trader then I would feel obligated to post in Angie's defense, however when there are multiple people with the same issues it does not matter about the past good trading experience. Obviously something has changed and people deserve the right to come out and state their bad experiences.
If Lamont, Savage,Loren, etc... starting making bad deals or crappy discs I would expect that the facts would be brought forward regardless of reputation or popularity. Just because you are a good trader at one time does not make you forever and always a good trader. The whole purpose of this forum is so we as traders can keep current with our hobby. It seems to me like the current situation calls for Angie to step up and make things right.

very true
i feel a person must prove themselves in every deal they make
i also had some good deals with angie
its the reason i didnt whine about her much earlier
shes very nice, she seems to try to do correct, but just doesnt make things happen lately
Lamont 05-12-2006, 06:58 AM well EVEN AFTER all this
she STILL STILL STILL is NOT replying
and its very annoying
ALL I GET IS THE SAME, "can u send me these discs? how about just these? can i just get these only? send me these and ill go away?" over and over and over and over and over
its reallllllllll frustrating here
because I know she has read this all and seen my questions, I know she has gotten my emails and PMs and seen the same questions, I know the moderators have been in contact trying to resolve and all she does is IGNORE IT ALL
and keep asking about discs that SHE needs----- I understand that she apparently ONLY cares about the stuff SHE NEEDS, not the sets im still waiting on fixes for
BUT FOR THE RECORD---- i am STILL not sending anything out to her, UNTIL i get what is owed to me--- THAT IS NOT BEING A JERK, OR BULLY, OR MEANIE or anything else
THAT is the deal that SHE AGREED TO months ago--- if she had a problem on her end--- SHE CAN ALWAYS EMAIL ME DIRECT and EXPLAIN IT TRUTHFULLY and we can work something out--- BUT ALL I HAVE HEARD is that the stuff was COMPLETED AND FIXED and was going out to me almost 2 weeks ago--- well it doesnt take 2 weeks to go 2 hours from her to me
It doesnt matter if she wants 1 disc from me or 100 discs from me, we had a deal, we made an arrangement
COLLINWOOD2003--- PLEASE EMAIL ME DIRECT OR POST HERE DIRECT OR PM ME DIRECT and let me know what is going on, IF YOU DROPPED THE BALL and cannot fix this mess, tell me so, so I stop wasting so much time on this matter :(
savageamusement 05-12-2006, 07:17 AM As much as I hate to add any fuel here- I also have not heard from her-
I emailed directly, to see if there was anything that I could do.
So I emailed point blank, as I have received complaints.
Some are here, some are from users who have not yet posted, or felt posting was unneeded. Each has their own peragative-
However, as this is public I would like to state 2 things.
1-Sometimes there is pressure, once something comes to the public forum. Sometimes people are afraid to say anything, they are worried of being judged- and they are worried of being attacked.
I would hope this isn't the case here- as many have said- Angie HAS come through many times before.
she has had some great trades- and although there are complaints here- there is NOTHING here that isn't fixable
There is nothing here, that isn't work throughable.
It can be overwhelming to have so much criticism at once, and the fact is- no one but Angie, knows what personal emails she is getting.
So if a few complained here, there is the chance a few people confronted her privately as well.
2-
Although this post was made, and it can be overwhelming-
I am also going to disclose, NOTHING here hadn't been mentioned previously.
And nothing said, hadn't been said, asked, requested and stated privately- many times before this came to the forum.
So ample time, and offers were made.
I say this, becuase Lamont just made the comment about fear of being viewed a bully for not sending particular items.
And I myself, discussed the situation with both before this, anda ny items not being sent are not for therat sake, but simply becuase obligations weren't meant.
The simple fact is this- we ALL get overwhelmed.
We ALL get eager, over eager, sometimes greedy.
I am sure many of us has counted on a trade, and been a little presumptious we were getting it- counted on it and maybe traded it before checking it.
And i KNOW many of us in larger trades have lacked the responsibility of checking each disc- and fouble checking quality or episode counts.
Its going to be a low percentage of users that know EVERYTHING they have, and know it burns, works without doubt.
In this case, I feel the best thing to do, is start with the basics Angie-
Which is take a deep breath and start from scratch so to speak
Make a list
What do I owe to who
What replacments am I getting
How can I resolve this?
No user here is cursing you out saying ban her-
The only thing I have heard is frustration and that you might* be a canidate for the bad trader list- which is still redemable.
But I can't impress this upon you enough, communication is going to be the best tool here.
I think some people are waiting for things still, and quite honestly sick of waiting.
And when they collectively compare notes-
Its very frsutration to hear that you have started, and completed other trades, WHILE they were still waiting.
2-Hearing some trades did get completed and resolved, makes one wonder why they aren't on that list-and that can build resentment
and
3-when a direct question or complaint, or confrontation is made- and wether private or public nothing is stated as to a direct asnwer to help resolve things-
That more than ANYTHING else makes you sound like a bad trader.
So if you can, make a list-
Contact people with your intentions and an offer of what you can send- and one by one you will find the frustration fade- as well as your tarnished reputation.
Just my opinion.
Lamont 05-12-2006, 10:34 AM it does anger me
when a trader has MANY MANY people waiting on stuff for MONTHS AND MONTHS
not just 1 or 2 or 3 BUT MANY people for months
and they do not reply to questions and do not attempt to resolve these messes made by trading sets you dont have yet, and then trading the stuff u r SUPPOSED to get in return for that
BUTTTT they have time to sell stuff on other sites and time to set up NEW TRADES (as i am aware that she just set up a 50+ disc trade this week-- EVEN AFTER all this came out)
and yet all i get is the same tired emails, asking me the same question CAN U SEND ME THESE DISCS? and ignoring my questions
that does get me mad, and YES
she is a nice person and has done some nice trades with some people, BUT THIS THREAD WAS STARTED a couple of days ago, and so far collinwood has NOT made any attempt that I can see to resolve any of it
I have gotten half a dozen emails from her since this started and NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM answered a SINGLE ONE of my questions to her
all she has done is keep asking me to BREAK THE RULES OF THE TRADE that SHE and i set up and both AGREED TO, and to send her some discs she needs--- EVEN THOUGH I AINT GOT SQUAT YET----
if this keeps up, and nothing changes, then it looks like it will end up ugly :( :( :(
Lamont 05-12-2006, 12:02 PM Sometimes I feel like People CANT POSSIBLY be the way them seem online--- because it just CANT, CANT, CANT be..... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
i get and email this afternoon
i open it up
EXPECTING that she is actually going to reply to my questions or tell me what is going on
and all it says is
ok I did say I was going to sleep early last night. I will fix everything
so ONCE AGAIN (is anyone else that has read this confused or UNCLEAR on the situation besides collinwood????)
please, please, please I beg of you
answer the questions to me about what is up
simply saying you will FIX EVERYTHING is not, i repeat NOT an answer
just a delay, put off, or brush off
after all these months, i am sure that is more than fair?
i have sent the questions in PMs, emails and posted here, i have fwd'd them to moderators who have ALSO asked the questions, loren--spooky-joker have asked questions too
the way to "FIX IT" is.......................
:eek:
lets try to play Karnac here and guess
ANSWERS???? the first reply to questions is answers
not just ILL FIX IT
i mean YES i do want you to fix it, BUT id like to know more than just that please-- u know like who? what? where? why? when? and how?
Holy Moly, after all these years of trading, I am 100% sure that she knows EXACTLY what is going on, and EXACTLY what everyone wants to know
so please just fill me in
it aint that hard--- either u sent them like u said, or u didnt
either u transfered the 3 vhs episodes to dvd like u said and mailed them, or u didnt
either u have the missing discs or have them on the way like u said, or u dont
its not some big mystery, we do not need to call in Perry Mason to figure this out do we?
omg: :hello :2help :bsod:
I know im just a poor uneducated Junk man, BUT
i do think im being as clear as a a glass of cold ripple!
:grady:
***************** UPDATE----
35 minutes later she emails me back AFTER I ASK HER AGAIN TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS and she tells me " I WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION AT 8 PM TONIGHT, i do not have TIME now"
it never ends, she emailed me 35 minutes ago, then 35 minutes later, she does again--- YET in those 35 minutes she couldnt tell me YES i sent what i owe u, like i said i did??? or NO i didnt send u a dang then at all, even though i said i did???? come on, GET REAL AND STOP LYING TO ME--- i guess it takes longer to type whether or not you sent the stuff then to type that she is too busy to email???????
what has really irked me here is the CONSTANT LYING, just be honest for once
******************* update will be forthcoming after her LONG AWAITED 8 PM answers to the whole mess
STAY TUNED
SAME BAT TIME
SAME BAT CHANNEL!
Lamont 05-12-2006, 09:15 PM Well 8 pm came and went, with (SHOCKER) none of the PROMISED info from her on the trade
i just do not know what else to do
I tried to resolve it through direct communication--- no resolution
I defered to a moderator for assistance---- no resolution
I posted the problems Publicly here, hoping that might help ---- no resolution
I have emailed and Pm'd all week, and all i have gotten is more of the same---
I'm Still waiting here, and nothing has arrived, collinwood lives about 2 hours from me--- she SAID the missing discs were going out last monday--NOT this past monday BUT the monday before that, she also SAID the other disc was going out THIS monday, BUT thus far--- NO delivery confirmation #s, and NEITHER pacakge has arrived, and i do not believe either has been sent--- and im doubtful that the items are even in her possession
I even emailed her and told her that if this deal was NOT going to happen, to be honest and just let me know and i would try to work something out to help her out with the discs she needs, BUT NO REPLIES, NO ANSWERS and worst of all NO HONESTY at all on this
its a real shame, she seems like a nice person, but she has really painted herself into a corner and it looks like she promised the moon to a bunch of us, and cannot deliver any of it, because she pre-traded stuff that she didnt have yet and it all fell apart
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS AT ALL ON THIS MATTER???
any ideas of what can be done to fix it???? I know savageamusement ASKED her several times to provide a list of
1. what she owes to who
2. who she is supposed to get those things from
3. what she is supposed to send in return
savageamusement was TRYING to help her straighten the whole mess out and make it all right---- so i will ask Savage also,
Savage----HAS COLLINWOOD given u that information?????? If there any way that Savage can help fix this nightmare????? If not, then I will make an Official BAD TRADER POST about it, because if there is NO solution possible and NO HONESTY coming from the other party, i do not know what else to try!
savageamusement 05-12-2006, 10:25 PM Lamont I have written you and Angie a possible compromise-
Maybe it will help resolve things, please contact me after you read it-
Sometimes things get SO tense and SO frsutrating a simpler solution helps.
What I am proposing is in essence, she owes you at this time I believe 6 discs.
She feels you owe her 3.
My suggestion is send them to a third party.
Myself or another whom is willing.
Once BOTH sets of discs are received, the party should check them, verify them
And then on the same day with delivery conf send to the opposit parties.
Therefore meeting the obligations, and neither party has to be the first to send, wondering if the other will
I offer my time and the postage cost to do this- if it will help resolve this.
Lamont 05-12-2006, 10:39 PM the TRUTH ( i know that is a word that Collinwood2003 is NOT familiar with at all) but the TRUTH is that she owes me this EXACTLY
1. JUST SHOOT ME, about 6 or 8 missing discs--- This set came to me "Complete" over 2 months ago--- I told her THE SAME DAY IT CAME--- ( i can forward her emails stating this if needed) that the set had only 90some episodes--- out of about 140 or so--- she has had over 2 months to get me the missing discs--- BUT apparently she got them from Spooky in the UK and hes been waiting LONGER THAN ME for stuff from her--- so i fully understand why he does NOT want to send her the missing discs---- so she owes me those ( i can forward her emails stating this if needed) :(
2. she owes me several discs of GROWING PAINS-- she said she sent me 11 of them a few weeks ago---- she sent 9, so she owes me all of the 1st season and there are still 2 missing discs, that she owes me, so thats, what? 4 total ( i can forward her emails stating this if needed) she said she was sending those 2 mondays ago and never did :(
3. she owes me 3 missing growing pains eps that she has on VHS tapes, and she "supposedly" transfered them to DVD-R last friday ( i can forward her emails stating this if needed) she said she was sending those on monday and never did :(
That is all that she owes me, and the deal we had in place (set up like 3+ months ago now) was that she would send me the JUST SHOOT ME and GROWING PAINS sets and then i would send her the set she wanted + 3 Heres Lucy discs, + 3 redos she needed + 2 redos she needed that she never got from me, but i was gonna toss in to her for free
I WILL GLADLY send them to Savageamusement and allow you to hold them until its resolved (BUTTTT that might be years), however, i do not think you should have to pay the extra postage for HER mess, i think its fair that she pick up the tab
ALSO, i Have emailed collinwood2003 and i have told her that if she CANNOT fulfill the trade to JUST BE HONEST and tell me, its not the end of the world, and i would much rather have her tell me I SCREWED UP AND CANNOT GET THE STUFF and be honest, then have her keep B.S.ing me and dragging it on for eternity
i have asked her to tell me HONESTLY what she CAN and CANNOT send to me--- if she cant send something BE HONEST AND TELL ME and we can STILL work it out so that she gets what she needs (because im sure someone else reading this is owed it by her)
all she has to do is start being HONEST and i will gladly work it out so that both she and i get what we need
*************
Tonight I got several emails from her
FIRST ONE tells me that
You don't have to give me such a hard time after all the favors I've done for you. well, im not giving her a hard time at all-- i tried EVERYTHING I COULD for months to resolve this, and ONLY after I learned that MANY OTHERS were getting the runaround to did i even make it public, and I STILL havent posted a BAD TRADER report or anything, just trying to get this resolved
SECOND tells me
I will only send the growing pains if you send the replacements. and also that
I don't have to fix things if I don't want to do this anymore but I am.
which i think is a ROTTEN Attitude to have, I have told her OVER AND OVER that OF COURSE- i will still send her my 1/2 of the deal, i will send it all to her--- im not gonna stiff her, and to say she DOESNT HAVE TO FIX THINGS????? that is just thumbing her nose at me, and telling me that she doesnt care at all if she does right by me at all--- she will ONLY send them to me b/c she needs stuff from me---
HOW ABOUT, Lamont- i will send the stuff asap, because ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO! and because you have been telling me over and over and over again, that you were sending the stuff for months and havent??? i mean that kind of crappy attitude is EXACTLY WHY SHE IS IN THE MESS SHE IS IN NOW!! because she apparently doesnt care
loren 05-12-2006, 11:23 PM i have a better suggestion, mr lamont
toss the crap in the junk box
block her emails
move along to something else
if she had your stuff, she would have sent it long ago
its unhealthy to worry about this stuff so much
your not out much
instead of all the fretting on angie, email 10 people and try to make some other swaps
the one set you cant live without, ill have when i get home from vacation
and the other two are no big deal either
the horsey has died
stop kicking the dead horsey, she just will not giddy up any more
move along little doogie
post your feedback on the other page, have an ice tea, and go to work on some new deals
go find me some good stuff
if you send the stuff to a third party, its a waste of effort and shipping
you know that already
savageamusement 05-13-2006, 12:30 AM Yeah he can just give up (shrug) it was just an offer.
Sometimes mediation helps - it isn't for everyone.
No offer I make has to be taken- and I doubt either Lamont or Collinwood will be trading each other after this, but I was trying to help resolve this last trade-
Lamont 05-13-2006, 08:41 AM You are right Savage, NEVER EVER EVER again would I trade with Collinwood2003--- Nice person or not
she is a Compulsive Liar ---- she told me the stuff was sent weeks ago, then last night she tells me she will ONLY SEND IT if i send her what she needs
she has been doing this for SEVERAL YEARS and has been suspended on CPS and other trading sites for the VERY SAME THING--- this is NOT a 1 time thing, THIS IS JUST THE KIND OF TRADER THAT SHE IS--- and by that I mean a BAD trader (and NO, Not BADDDDDD as in "Damn Rollo, that leather vest is BADDDDD ) i mean BAD as in, Angie is a BAD trader so avoid her like the plague
SO THAT EVERYONE KNOW, just this week, she set up with another trader a 50+ disc trade==== u see, shes too busy or too behind to make right by all the people that she owes-- me, loren, joker, spooky and the others who emailed me privately but wont post---- BUT shes not too busy to sell stuff I SENT TO HER on ioffer! shes not too busy to set up NEW trades, shes not too busy to reply to emails from people that she DOESN'T OWE!
ALL I WANTED WAS HER TO JUST BE HONEST WITH ME---- if she had said to me "lamont, im sorry i cannot get u the stuff" --- i would have STILL sent her what she needs-- AND I TOLD HER THAT!!!! but i guess the TRUTH is realllll hard for some people
and YES, this might be a dead horse, but the way I see it, its been read almost 800 times as of this morning, so that is a WHOLE LOT LESS People that will get stuck in nightmare--4 month long--- never get the stuff u r owed deals with Miss Angie.
Savageamusement has contacted me and said that Collinwood2003 has agreed to send what she owes me to the moderator and I will do the same----NOT HARD FOR ME since I actually HAVE the stuff she needs! So, I will do so---- Do i Think there is ANY CHANCE IN HELL that angie will send it???? I would have to say NO---- No Way Jose. If she had it, she would have sent to me BEFORE this thread got started, and before everyone knew the THREE CARD MONTY trading game she is playing!
BUTTTTTTTTTT, to make it official, I will send my stuff to savage--- and IF by some miraculous act of God, angie does send it--- then finally this trade from hell will be over. If not, then I supposed Savage can make the decisions on how to proceed.
Regardless, a Bad Trader Post will be coming regarding this mess, so check the FEEDBACK Section later this weekend. :wave:
savageamusement 05-13-2006, 09:17 AM She has agreed to send me her end, as you have agreed to send me yours.
What it comes down to is this
1-she obviously made mistakes in your trade., a clear enough asnwer wasn't being given to you- and she wanted items from you that you weren't sending till you got hers, and she felt/feels you wont send her those- so by me recieving both, eliminates any trust.
Especially since this is known publically.
2-Your right Lamont, I don't think trades should trades with you should have been started when she had outstanding items. I agree.
And while this is an outstanding issue, I don't think she should have traded another. Let alone selling.
I agree, and have told her- My standing is take care of all obligations, before getting more.
but then again, its easy to get into debt, when you already are -
It is her choice to do so, and your choice or mine or others to share that opinion.
I was told by her yesterday that a package was sent out to spooky, Chris, and another.
So I am hoping (fingers crossed) you are last, on the owing too list- other than her now, current trades.
3-A history of being removed, or suspended at other boards does matter, and does show a history of problems- which is why I am so involved in this-
She has been trading a long time, which is why SOME of this shouldn't be an issue.
But then again, that is why some of this IS an issue.
People gave more leway, and some trades were set up based on trust, not performance.
It is a shining example of how as time goes by, our expectations drop, and trust replaces quality.
But I think that has been made abundantly clear to her, and drilled in- and I would hope with such awareness this is a reality check for her her- through reputation, and repetition.
But ever the same, she is willing to work with me/you on this- and that does say something.
So I am willing to give her the opportunity to fix this through me at my time and effort- in the hopes that because this became such a big deal she will utilize the feedback to be a better trader next time.
Or, I'll be honest, that should this happen again, she won't be trading here at all.
Either way, change will be forced. But I am willing to give it the beenfit of doubt.
It's always a shame when a trade gets this frustrating.
And at the same time, I bet there are a lot of people who read this, who are learning or nodding their heads. SO maybe this will be beneficial vicariously
Lamont 05-13-2006, 12:25 PM PS im ONLY sending them to you because I trust YOU
not that I have any faith left in angie at all
not 1 iota
she has a pattern of lying, she lies repeatedly to everyone
its not just that she got behind or overextended
she flat out lied to everyone in order to get more stuff, and she figured shed just B.S. us all, until she got the stuff in that she owe
if she had any interest in making right by me, she would have fixed the Just Shoot me 2+ months ago when I told her it was bad
if she had any interest in making right by me, she would not have told me falsely that Loren made the set (i guess she didnt realize id just call him up and ask) and trying to pass the problem off onto him
if she had any interest in making right by me-- she would NOT have told me to get with Spooky to get the missing discs because it was his fault (again, passing the problem off)
if she had any interest in making right by me--- she wouldnt have asked Loren to BACK DOOR Me and get the discs she wants from me and send them to her, in secret
if she had any interest in making right by me-- she would have replied to me and been honest --- it aint like i didnt make myself clear
if she had any interest in making right by me-- she wouldnt be selling the stuff i traded her on ioffer and setting up many new trades and just leaving me, joker, loren, spooky, etc hanging here
if she had any interest in making right by me there would be no need for this thread at all
so i will say this She is a total TRAINWRECK of a Trader
KonfusionFTC 05-13-2006, 02:44 PM im still waitin for discs from her too.. shes must be infamous with missing discs.. cause thats what ive been on and i keep hearing everytime that she is sending them but when i ask again its just o im sending them this day.. i mean damn just send them already. this has been over a period of time too..
Lamont 05-13-2006, 03:23 PM email the moderator
savageamusement
she is taking note of all angie-issues and might be able to help resolve
savageamusement 05-14-2006, 05:45 AM As this has been going on, I am trying to help- but also keep things straight.
It seems some items are owed to one another, that each has- wiating for the other.
Yeah that confused me too.
What I mean is, can I get a tally of what is owed.
For example I was told that Angie owes:
Rick (Konfusion)
Cheers Season 4 Disc 1
Flintstones Season 3 Disc 2
Fraiser Season 2 Disc 4
Golden Girls Season 2 Disc 3
Married With Children Season 3 Disc 3
Whos The Boss Season 1 (3 DVD'S)
I was told she owes Lamont
Growing pains, season one.
Growin pains 3 episodes?shows on vhs to dvd.
Just shoot me, 6 discs.
Now- as I understand it-
Spooky owes Angie,Just shoot me- becuase he sent her Family guy instead.
She even offered to send me the original packaging to show this (?)
And because he apparently owes her, she can not send to Lamont.
But Lamont owes her, 1 disc of Hooperman. 1 disc of John Larroquette, and one disc of Nude bomb.
Are there any other hang ups, that you are in example waiting on each other for?
Spooky, you mentioned some difficulties- What is owed to YOU-
that Angie sent out Tuesday Supposedly?
I would like to get a clear cut
I owe
I am owed
list from each person with an outstanding trade.
Angie has informed me that 3 packages went out this week.
And Ihave informed her in pursuit to try to keep her account active here, I am willing to mediate, as well as help organize this-
BUt it seems a small domino affect is going on.
So lets cut to the chase- and for those who have posted into this- can I get a brief statement of what is owed.
And what you have sent, or were/are waiting to send.
I am aware of a nulled trade with Loren, over Dr. Kildare that some were unable to burn.
I am aware of a current trade with Beavis, which she states all discs are made (80 disc count)
And I am aware, that she has sent 2 packages (as i was told)
to Chris, Spooky
But so far the list to me is
Mike Randazzo-2 discs?
Spooky
I was told he owes HER 6 discs
JennyMc 1 disc
Lamont 6 JSM, 4 Growing pains
And he owes her 3 discs
micheal R two dvds
Spookyfox about 8 dvds
And chris's package is out
Can I get some feedback here.
My spreadsheet is getting full
Lamont 05-14-2006, 08:31 AM to keep a list of what members are NOT owed anything from angie
:lol: :lol: :lol:
savageamusement 05-14-2006, 11:07 PM I would still like a factual clear cut list
I have seen several people post here-
BUt I have conflicitng messages as to what is owed.
I am under the impression items are owed to
LOREN
SPOOKYFOXMULDER
LAMONT
JENNYMC
BEAVIS
MIKE.R
JOKER
But are we talking a couple discs?
I just want a total
TRADER NAME "" is waiting for "" from Angie, total discs "" and total length of time waiting ""
Lamont 05-14-2006, 11:55 PM stuff owed to KONFUSION
he posted that allready, so im not outing anyone
I have emailed u my info on what is owed to me
Good luck
Lamont 05-15-2006, 07:30 PM the Last that I heard was that angie was gonna email savageamusement the delivery confirmation # for stuff that she was sending out for me today
any updates??????????????????
savageamusement 05-15-2006, 08:24 PM She wrote me today, stating she is sending tomorrow.
I told her to delivery conf it and gave my address 5 times.
Meanwhile she assured me.
A package went out to Loren - who is out of town.
I asked for the delivery conf number, and did receive one- I need to check.
A package went out to Joker- she said taking care of all outstanding debt
A package went out to Konfusion- Rick-
SO when / If those arrive if those users could PLEASE update this forum- that would be great.
Lamont 05-15-2006, 09:12 PM a few things??
1. i saw that angie posted earlier that her set was missing ONLY 20 episodes---- BUTTT i have heard that it was missing far more, can u provide insight
2. I got an email from COLLINWOOD last night and SHE ASSURED ME and said that my package WOULD go out today, BUT NOW it didnt go out YET AGAIN>>>?????????? why??????
ALSO since Loren is away, i guess we will have to wait and see WHAT she actually sent out--- ALSO i was under the impression, she still might owe and FAR OLDER trade of TEK WAR to WI????? maybe angie can check and see
savageamusement 05-15-2006, 10:39 PM This is getting drilled into the ground.
Yes she had said she would mail out Monday, she didn't- she says its going out tuesday.
Maybe its a excuse maybe it sa pattern, time will tell.
I know she did mail a package to loren- yes he is out of town- so I can't elaborate on the qulaity or quantity of it.
The packages she sent to Chris (joker) and Konfusion- time will also tell, they are en route-
I wont know whats in them, since they did not go to me-
There is no doubt that trading skills are not up to par here.
There is no doubt that this shouldn't have gone as far as it did, or that SO many multiple unfinished trades should be ongoing.
But what has happened is alreayd past tense.
So I am trying to work with her, to get what is owed out-
She is attmepting to get what she can out- and in one week has been called to bat to replace and fix sets.
And so far has given me proof of 3 sets of several that are owed.
What is in them.
If they are actual and bunrable/playable
If they are accurate
Time will tell as the users receive them
If we can limit this thread to NEW information
In example packages that have been received
Or other outstnading posts- that would be great.
I mean no disrespect Lamont, but your getting repetative.
It is obvious you are frustrated-It is obvious she ropped the ball multiple times, all I / We can do is ask her to be responsible, and replace things - as the can.
She is aware her account is in jeopardy, as well as her reputation.
As well as personal feedback, insults, antagonizing comments and the pressure of everyone watching what she is doing.
But posting 15 more times, that your still frustrated doen'st move things along any faster.
Several packages were mailed out, I was told yours is tomorrow-
so lets see what this weeken provides in the mail.
Until then, lets let the thread breath awhile, barring new information-
y2k3Joker 05-15-2006, 10:56 PM I think Lamont is going to suffer a mental breakdown soon if we don't get him some help.
This long distance dedication goes out to him.

Lamont 05-16-2006, 07:09 AM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have become annoying to anyone posting about Collinwood2003
I hear that now, under the threat of being banned and after being publicly outdated and slammed for the years of bad trading and dishonesty, she is FINALLY sending people what she has owed them for months (WELL SOME OF IT--- like for instance how she CANNOT get me the JUST SHOOT ME DISCS SHE OWES ME AFTER ALL THESE MONTHS)
BUT-- by keeping the threads active, NOW Marcus posts that HE TOO has had problems with her--- the same problems
Regardless of the turnout of this whole mess, i honestly do believe that she should be a VERY STRONG Candidate for the Bad Traders and Banned Lists
If SHE doesn't fit the bill, I do not know who possibly can
PS MUCH THANKS TO JOKER FOR ALL HIS LOVE and kindness in my time of mental suffering :lol:
KonfusionFTC 05-16-2006, 07:26 AM lol.. ill post when it arrives..
Beavis 05-16-2006, 01:51 PM http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,195546,00.html
jennymcc 05-16-2006, 03:17 PM Just to clarify my situation with Angie. She owes me 1 disc, because she had a problem disc in the Dharma and Greg series (1 disc out of a 40 disc trade). She told me about it and said that she plans to ship it as soon as she can get a replacement or re-record the eps.
This was my only trade with her. I didn't have any other issues and she has been very friendly in our exchanges (if a bit slow in responding).
Lamont 05-16-2006, 04:11 PM http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,195546,00.html
beavis that link is priceless
as much as Angie lies, she must have GREAT SELF ESTEEM by now! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Beavis 05-16-2006, 05:04 PM :lol: I'm not involved in any of this..I came across the story this morning, then immediately thought about Lamont's thread of anguish and rage, and or Joker's rips, shreds and tears thread :lol: :eek: :lol: :lol: ...and thought... Hmmmm..
but it's none of my business..so I'll just stay out of this...
:eek: :D :cool: :lol: :lol:
Lamont 05-16-2006, 07:24 PM since this whole train wreck has played out publicly thus far
i will try to update it publicly also
NO, i wont keep saying what a deadbeat trader that angie is over and over and over again
IM JUST ASKING---- she was SUPPOSED to finally send my stuff out monday, BUT then emailed the moderator and said it would now become TUESDAY
so i am asking--- did collinwood2003 actually keep to that and ship today? and if so, can she, or the moderator post the DELIVERY CONFIRMATION # on it so we can all see for ourselves?
KonfusionFTC 05-16-2006, 07:35 PM lol i heard same story... monday being the day. i hear that every monday though. ..if anyone has the discs im owed lol maybe we can trade for those if i dont get them from her..
Lamont 05-16-2006, 07:39 PM why dont u post what she owes you
because I have heard that she owes someone stuff and THAT STUFF Is on her NETFLIX want list and she does NOT even have it yet
that might be you?
so post what she owes u, if i can help i will gladly do so :(
KonfusionFTC 05-16-2006, 08:38 PM its on page 4 savage posted it. plus i sent u a pm
KonfusionFTC 05-16-2006, 08:39 PM o ya i think thats me your talkin bout ahahahaaha
savageamusement 05-17-2006, 01:22 AM She was supposed to send 5 weeks ago according to emails to Lamont.
Then 4
3
2
last week
Monday
that pushed to Tuesday (today)
I haven't heard from her since she said she woudl email me the conf number Monday-
(shrugging)
Apparently, even moderating onthis one, isnt' doing much good.
Alas, I will let the week play out- skeptical ever the more-and wiat for some of these packages to arrive and see what they hold.
A banned member doesn't have much inventive to fix things- so I am trying to work with her to keep her account active-
so far, not much luck on my end. I seem to be getting the same pattern others were- which is frustrating since I am trying to help HER out.
Lamont 05-17-2006, 06:46 AM at all on this one
and im not sure if ANYTHING can be done to fix it at all
the sad thing is that its only a handful of discs and since she claims she has them, i just dont understand it at all
i geuss some people become such compulsive liars that they cannot tell the truth no matter what :(
Lamont 05-17-2006, 01:14 PM dont know what else to do
i posted bad feedback

Lamont 05-17-2006, 08:41 PM what is insane is that this thread has been viewed WELL OVER 1000 times now
and she STILL HAS NOT POSTED any defense at all
or come clean
has she no shame? no sense of honesty? or fair play?
if i was in her shoes, id be apologizing my a** off and trying to bend over backwards to make it right
:( :( :( :( :(
y2k3Joker 05-17-2006, 09:12 PM Hey Monty, a little piece of advice .....
When a scrap is one-sided like this (the other party not fighting back, not posting anything, etc ...) there's realy no point in continuing.
How many different ways can you say she ripped you off??
You're just answering your own posts right now :D :D - Where's the challenge in that?
It's time for the starters to sit now - let the bench get a few minutes in. Your job is done, save it for the next fight.
:wave: :wave: :wave:
Lamont 05-17-2006, 09:17 PM yes joker
that is all true
BUT at this point
im just posting updates on the situation
to be a nice guy and try to give dear angie a chance to post whatever
REALLY GOOD REASONS i am sure that she must certainly have for all of this mess :lol: :lol: :lol:
PS did i mention that she ripped me off?
savageamusement 05-17-2006, 10:08 PM Angie contacted me today.
I received 3 numbers last week as I posted- that
Joker-
Konfusion
Loren- all had packages sent to them.
This was last tuesday
Today I received 3 conf numbers for packages
Lamont
Mike R
JennyMC
those were all shipped yesterday
So by Next Friday at the latest- all 6 should be recieved.
I don't need to tell you all to check them thoroughly-
and to respond here if you could, or pm me-/email me-
If your package is received please post here if you feel comfortable, to let the others involved know things are resolved/settled
Or if there is another chapter to the saga.
But it seems, I have 6 deliver conf numbers to the 6 people who had outstanding things.
Which means it was all sent out within one week of me getting involved.
It was our decision in administration right now that her account be suspended-
as with 6 outstanding packages it might be good to halt new trades.
A permanant decision has not been made- as the outcome is obviouslly important on these resolutions.
Please email me privately if you have any questions or concerns
Or requests in regard to this situation.
savageamusement 05-18-2006, 12:52 AM As Angie is suspended currently- she has expressed the need ot be in contact with two users
Beavis
And Konfusion
She does not have your email address only PM address's
I did not want to give out personal information, but if you two could email her, she wanted to discuss the trade situation.
She stated she has a pacakge that has to go out for both of you, and needed information in regard to that.
KonfusionFTC 05-18-2006, 09:44 PM so heres the deal.. i got a package today but there is a bunch of discs i didnt ask for and bunch of the wrong discs. i got 2 of the right discs and bunch of random discs from a set i didnt ask for. she said there is another package but why would she send me the discs i already have..
Lamont 05-18-2006, 10:03 PM so heres the deal.. i got a package today but there is a bunch of discs i didnt ask for and bunch of the wrong discs. i got 2 of the right discs and bunch of random discs from a set i didnt ask for. she said there is another package but why would she send me the discs i already have..
here is the funny part
this is EXACTLY what i told beavis today that she would do!!!!
read the BAD FEEDBACK comment I made about her
i told him this is EXACTLY the kind of B.S. She would pull and i was right!!!!
you want to know why she sent the wrong stuff???? because she DOES NOT HAVE WHAT SHE OWES YOU----- and she was trying to appease savageamusement and "prove she was making right" so she just sent you whatever she did have and figured she could stall another week that way with a B.S. story about "OOOPS I SENT THE WRONG STUFF-- ILL SEND THE RIGHT STUFF NOW"
I told everyone PUBLICLY before she did it that she would
here is a Quote of what i posted today
--- she will send a BLANK DISC or bad disc in place of a disc she is missing-- ON PURPOSE and then say "oops, i will have to get a redo"--- knowing FULL WELL BEFORE HAND that she was missing that disc
here is a link to see it
http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=172684
and she did EXACTLY 100% what i said she would do
AM I A PSYCHIC OR WHAT?????
Lamont 05-18-2006, 10:16 PM post us a list here of
1. WHAT she DID send
2. what she STILL OWES U
maybe one of the HONEST- non compulsive lying, members of the board can help u
savageamusement 05-18-2006, 10:27 PM Well I know Loren wont be back to check his for a few days.
Lamonts, yours should be here any day I have yoru list to go by, to see if its accurate- and for the record all the discs you made for your end, made it here early this week and have been checked.
no problems, as expected.
I was given a confirmation number for another pacakge to Rick
A package to JennyMc - but that was only one disc she owed -
And a pacakge to MIke R- also one disc I believe.
The larger pacakges were you, Rick, Joker, and loren.
And those have yet to arrive-
but I shudder to think if this isn't resolved yet.
As not eveyrone checks feedback or even the bad trader list- that was part of the motivation to suspend the account, so that new trades could not be started until this was resolved.
I was hesitant to add her to the bad trader list, or even furthor action - due ot her communication and the confirmation numbers given-
as I hoped that was a sign things were being resolved.
(sigh)
All I can say is after this long-
This much attention publically and privately
And this much concentration to still have errors nad problems to me, is dumbfounding.
I would think you woudl be that much more careful- and that much more responsible :(
KonfusionFTC 05-18-2006, 10:58 PM this is what i was owed
Cheers Season 4 Disc 1
Flintstones Season 3 Disc 2
Fraiser Season 2 Disc 4
Golden Girls Season 2 Disc 3
Married With Children Season 3 Disc 3
Whos The Boss Season 1 (3 DVD'S)
this is what i got
Golden Girls Season 2 Disc 2
Golden Girls Season 2 Disc 3
Married With Children Season 3 Disc 1
Cheers Season 4 Disc 1
Plus a bunch o random who's the boss discs from the complete series set but it dont even start with disc 1 its just a bunch of discs out of order. so i got 2 i needed and a bunch of them i didnt need.
Lamont 05-18-2006, 11:11 PM And this much concentration to still have errors nad problems to me, is dumbfounding.
I would think you woudl be that much more careful- and that much more responsible :(
the reason she sent the wrong discs was NOT an error at all
i TOLD everyone this would happen
and angie, ever true to form, did not let me down
she did it on purpose, plain and simple
she didnt have what she owed him and she had give savageamusement her word she would send, so she had to send SOMETHING-- anything
so she just tossed in some random discs--- if u compare the lists
IT AINT EVEN CLOSE!
and then that bought her another week to try to get the discs she owes
BEEN THERE----- DONE THAT
been down that road many times
marvelousmarcus 05-18-2006, 11:28 PM Wow Lamont, this thread is six pages long and you posts make up 3/4 of the thread!!
y2k3Joker 05-18-2006, 11:35 PM C'mon guys, 17 more posts and this thread goes platinum !!
Keep it going Lamont - we're almost there !!
Lamont 05-18-2006, 11:35 PM Marcus, that well may be true
HOWEVER, its a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
seriously, I have found that the VAST MAJORITY Of traders will NEVER make a bad trader post about an established board member, because they do not want to be the one to step up and speak first
most people just don't want to get involved in it all
so it's up to a select few of us, who actually will call a spade a spade and make it public
PLUS--- if u read the post, u will see that it started off with me, loren and joker speaking up, and slowly, thoughout the thread, u will see that other members spoke up and chimed in
most of them figured that she was telling them the truth, but as more info comes out--- people realize-- "Hey! thats the same stupid story she told me!" or "HEY! that is the same thing she pulled with me" and they realize they have been lied to also, and so others, like Konfusion chimed in as it progressed
and there are STILL others who are emailing me or PM'ing me with similar problems with her
so im sorry, if old Lamont is running his big, junkyard mouth too much ----
but to be honest, i was REALLLLLL ticked off at it all, and once I realized just how many others she has pulled this same B.S. with, for over 3 years----- i blew a gasket
Lamont 05-18-2006, 11:37 PM C'mon guys, 17 more posts and this thread goes platinum !!
Keep it going Lamont - we're almost there !!
joker, i can always count on you to make me laugh sir
i do not want to post 17 more times, But maybe u can update us when your package comes (maybe she sent you the Golden Girls discs that Konfusion was supposed to get :lol: :lol: :lol: )
or maybe the other 3 people who emailed me privately want to go on the record?
y2k3Joker 05-18-2006, 11:41 PM I'll update, If I ever get anything.
The reason I'm not as upset as you is because I held off sending her anything until I got to see something first. Call it a hunch, call it experience, whatever ......
Lamont 05-18-2006, 11:46 PM I'll update, If I ever get anything.

for when it comes to collinwood2003 -----
A fool and his Dvd's are soon parted! :clown: :clown: :clown:
JOEY1727 05-18-2006, 11:50 PM well i got some dvds from her that took for ever to get and i had missing dvds and messed up dvds,,she said she will get them from loren..:confused:
Lamont 05-19-2006, 12:00 AM well i got some dvds from her that took for ever to get and i had missing dvds and messed up dvds,,she said she will get them from loren..:confused:
OH NO! not you too Joey!
well, lets see--- so she owes you dvds, BUTTTT she has to get them from Loren----- AND OF COURSE that is dependent on whether or not the package she sent to Loren ACTUALLY IS CORRECT OR NOT (lets see, hmmmmm.... what are the odds of that?)
so IF she sent the right stuff to loren
and IF the discs all work
and IF loren sends her the stuff she wants in return
THEN and ONLY THEN can she make right by you on your trade???
once again, YET ANOTHER board member that she has done this to!
DOES SHE THINK WE ARE ALL STUPID??? and we all believe
that she just ACCIDENTALLY does the exact same thing to EVERY SINGLE TRADER she deals with?????
april4972 05-19-2006, 01:53 AM Don't yell at me Lamont BUT....

Lamont knows that she has made some good trades in the past but this post is not about the past. I had 2 good (slow but good) trades as well but obviously recently she has messed up with many traders.
It is good to stand up for people but obviously we are exceptions to the rule. I comend people for bringing stuff like this up whether it is unpopular or not. I certainly wont be making any trades with her because of this post where if people had not spoken up I could be the next person on the list.
Lex Luthor 05-19-2006, 01:59 AM How many more do we need Joker? I have never been part of a Platnum thread before
april4972 05-19-2006, 02:02 AM How many more do we need Joker? I have never been part of a Platnum thread before
Yeah Joker, how many more do we need LOL...there's another one!
Lex Luthor 05-19-2006, 02:10 AM YA!! I graduated to a Forum Junkie!!!!
No more Forum Regular for the cartoon man
Hey Joker are we there yet!?!?!? lol
savageamusement 05-19-2006, 03:03 AM The issue isn't wether or not she has ever had good trades.
I think it is because she HAS traded since long, and because she has had good trades- that people didn't come forward faster-
and the reason they were so forgiving.
But the fact is, if she has had good trdes that means she is capable-
So why capable with a handful- and why so bad with others
Being a good trader isn't something yo udo selectively.
And aside from that, I can see having 1 or 2 trades going.
I can even see having an oustanding trade, being under the assumption you can fix it, so moving on.
But 8 outstanding trades>?
And then, continuing to trade and sell.
No, that just isn't really responsible.
Its been proven she has dropped the ball thus far- for more cases than not.
However, after this mcuh concentrated energy and awareness, her package to konfusion was wrong.
And when i wrote her tonight, she said she woudl correct it and send out tomrorow.
Which means, this will be the third pacakge she sends to try to complete a trade from how long ago?
Just how much can you excuse to bad discs, replacements and bad luck.
I try to be optimisitc and objective, but its really hard in this case-
And with more people coming forward-its all the more frustrating for everyone.
KonfusionFTC 05-19-2006, 04:45 AM actually i would have wrote something here right away but i wasnt really paying attention to the thread. this is one thing i dont understnd. why make a trade for something you dont have in hand. Its one thing to say ya im getting this set. then its another to try to set up a trade when u dont have it with you. ok now i dont mind extra stuff but can i atleast get whats owed first. i dont want extras that are all out of order missing discs as an excuse to by time from whats really owed. cause even that i cant watch from begining cause the first disc is missing lol. its a pain in the butt to start watching a show and u get stuck cause theres those missing episodes that they claimed to have before the trade. But then they dont so u have to wait months before u can finish.. like seriously dont add sets to the trade you dont have complete and claim its got all the discs.
savageamusement 05-19-2006, 04:32 PM Well one step closer to platinum I guess.
I received the pacakge for Lamont, as many of you know he asked me to intervein.
I received season one of growing pains on 4 discs- they are fine, fine quality-
And then 3 mis discs
your package came
7 discs
seaosn 1, retial dub disc 1/2/3/4
then a disc that says GP 12
Has on it-
paper tigers
young and the homeless
jason sings the blues
the kids still got it
there must be a pony
the big fix
homemalone
bad day cafe
b=mc2
its not easy being green
the call of the wild
honest abe
quality..eg, so so====shakey, bounces a bit- but plays ive seen worse- ive seen better (shrug)
next disc says GP 2
jason and the cruisers
fast times at dewy high
long days journey into night
Thats it three episodes
-
GP 11
says
GP
twelve times
There are no episode listings, or titles.
There is no information.
I have played through- and I am comparing it to the episode guide I found online-
and have labled three episodes.
I also emailed Angie to ask her what is supposed ot be on it-
But according to lamont I don't think this is an accurate package.
I know Season 1 is-
But the three misc discs - don't have episodes on it, that they should.
And why one disc has no episode information on it, for 12 episodes is beyond me.
I think that addresses all the information on this package.
So it looks half right.
but in all honesty- the half that is right- Lamont could have gotten from anyone- its a retail release as well now- so he could have bought it.
I think its the 3 other discs that were important on this one.
I'll wait for him to post/reply.
But I wanted to state it did arrive. And is, at least half correct :(
Lamont 05-19-2006, 04:41 PM Savage
i dont know what to say
the SUPPOSED hold up was that angie had 3 holiday episodes NOT IN THE SET on vhs and she was SUPPOSED to transfer those 3 to dvd for me--- i guess she did NOT do that like she said
also--- ALL OF THE DISCS were supposed to be re-edited with menus on them and commercials taken out--- she apparently didnt get that done either
to be honest i HAVE the retail set, NOT a copy, but the actual set
BUT angie said she would send it to me BEFORE i got it, and im glad she did 1 thing right
but the rest of it, i guess its still a total mess
lets see, she sent Konfusion a package----NOT RIGHT
she sent me a package--- NOT RIGHT
she sent joey1727 a package--- NOT RIGHT
OH YEAH, SHE'S REALLY GETTING ALL THIS STUFF FIXED!
Lamont 05-19-2006, 04:42 PM And is, at least half correct :(
here in the south, we dont call that "Half Correct"
we call it, Half Assed!

If the singers can do it, let's go for double plantinum.
Real simple. Watch this. Joker makes crummy menus and Batman looks kinda grainy to me.

Harv,
Are you still cruising the Chit Chat board trying to pick up chicks? Did that thing with Janice fall through?
Joker, who knows it all

I offered my body but it just wasn't enough. Gotta try a new tactic. Maybe take her on a scenic cruise throughout Brooklyn, touching on the glamorous Gowanus Canal, home of Mike Tyson, and top it all, a search for spent bullets from the latest drive by shooting. I know how to woo a woman.
Harvey the wooerer
savageamusement 05-19-2006, 11:44 PM Not that I want this to keep going, you can't beat a dead horse forever you know-
But I was told Angie is sending more packages tomorrow.
I have one user who has said forget it at this point, he has gotten the items elsewhere.
Another user who has gotten half replaced from another user-
So as the packages have proven not to be correct, and these are replacements upon replacements- I know one user was waiting for the Nude Bomb-
which ironically is sitting in the pile of discs that I was to send Angie, had her packge been correct.
It wasn't.
So as I stepped in, and even upon the threat of suspension, somehow things are still wrong-aside from moderator involvement, and consequences to an account
My hands are tied at that point, other than doing the trades myself (sigh)
If anyone wants to add anything to this, as a few packages are outstanding- so be it-
but it looks like the advice from another moderator way in the beginning would have saved a lot of time and effort, and that was -"Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me"
You get the idea.
I'm sorry things aren't working out better, and apologize to those who have given up and replaced them on their own now.
But in all honesty it is getting the show that is the ultimate goal- nad maybe that was in fact the painless way to go :(
Lamont 05-20-2006, 12:23 AM obviously angie had no interest in fixing anything
she sent out packages to 3 people so far who posted they got them
and all 3 were all incorrect items
all she was doing was stalling and trying to buy more time, until she can get what she owes everyone
and its so ridiculous
You would think that for someone who tells as many lies as her
she would get better at it by now
Lex Luthor 05-20-2006, 05:39 AM Come on Monty slow down, how am i supposed to catch your post when you keep posting?
DAMN I just added to yours.... D'oh:lol:
Lamont 05-20-2006, 09:01 AM SINCE ANGIE IS SUSPENDED i thought I would post updates for everyone
she emailed me SEVERAL Times last night---explaining why the package she sent was WRONG YET AGAIN!!!
1 question, was WHY THE LAST DISC DIDNT HAVE MENUS??? LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO she says
"I didn't have time to put titles on that disc but I know what the titles are I could email them to you. And I was only doing the trasnfer disc as a favor. It wasn't a part of the original trade. However I can still send it to you. "
SHE DIDNT HAVE TIME TO PUT THE EPISODE TITLES ON THE DISC????? does it somehow take more time to type out the episode titles, than to just type GROWING PAINS over and over?????? andddddd the reason for the long delay SHE SAID was that she had to put titles on all the eps???
Doing me a favor???? lets see---- the set was ORIGINALLY to be a complete set---- she realized it was NOT complete and was missing half a dozen eps, BUT she had 3 on vhs and was gonna add them in to make it LESS INCOMPLETE---- ok, how is that a favor? the trade was for a COMPLETE SET--- i was doing HER a favor by still honoring the trade EVEN WHEN SHE REALIZED IT WAS NOT COMPLETE AT ALL
"I don't care anymore. I am trying to fix things. I just don't want people to be mad at me. And I am doing the best I can in getting Dr. Kildare replacements. I've done my part in that just waiting on their end."
so i pointed out that she has NOT fixed ANYTHING---- she just mailed out a bunch of INCORRECT items to people to stall. MAD AT HER??? i think we are all pretty mad at her, and doing B.S. like sending me, joey, konfusion the wrong stuff does not help. as for DR KILDAIRE and doing the "best she can"---- no maam, the BEST YOU CAN is NOT to set up trades with people for sets that you do NOT HAVE YET--- if u had not traded the dr kildaire before u had it then none of that mess would have happened.
"I have fixed some and only 2 or 3 more to go. I will have everyones trades fixed by the end of the week including Joey's which is only a couple of dvds and I sent everyone extras. Sometimes extras on top of extras. I don't mind admitting that I been slow I just didn't realize it sooner."
ISNT THIS the same thing she told us all last week???? that she was gonna send and have it fixed? then she sent out wrong pacakges hoping that noone would check to see???? and yes Most of them are ONLY a COUPLE OF DVDS, that is why its so damn frustrating to have her lie over and over again.
the problem is NOT that you have been slow, the problem is that you are a compulsive liar who would rather make up more lies and send out a stack of Wrong packages to people, than to just come clean and admit what a web of pre-trades and broken promises you have created.
We made a deal, Old Lamont held up his end and send you the stuff via savageamusement---- mine came, was all right--- u lied and sent the wrong stuff yet again
and PLEASE stop asking me for the discs you want or need--- i REALIZE that you need them because you allready owe them to someone else--- THAT IS NOT MY FAULT--- please stop asking Loren or Savageamusement or whoever else to GO BEHIND MY BACK and get them for you---- that is dishonest and deceitful. All you have to do is fix this mess, then you can have them---- I mean come on, i ALLREADY dropped the other stuff you owe me the JUST SHOOT ME that you sent missing 1/3 of the discs and Cant fix, i let it go to work with you, and now u want me to let go the other set and just get NOTHING from you?
:nonono: :nonono: :nonono: :dizzy:
savageamusement 05-20-2006, 09:39 PM I confronted Angie when I received the package for Lamont.
And I am glad that I did mediate on this-becuase as he suspected the package wasn't right.
It was supposed to be labeled fully it wasn't.
It was supposed to contain the Halloween episodes it didn't
It was to contain the X-mas episodes, it didn't.
She wrote me 2 weeks ago when this first started, and stated to me the same above-
She verified this is what she was sending out.
When I confronted her-
She said the holiday episodes were a favor to Lamont she would get them out later.
And she didn't have time to lable the episodes.
Which was the entire point of the trade.
She at that time asked me if I did receive Lamonts items- which I had-
and asked me- although she didn't send what she had to
Could I copy them and send them to her.
I have been trying to be objective- and give the benefit of the doubt
But asking me to do that, not only goes against my ethics- but as well, goes against the entire point of mediating- to keep things honest.
I emailed her, and told her I would not lie for her, or help her get things she didnt earn by completing her trades-
I told her to email me and let me know what she planned on doing-
I recieved no email.
She had told me she woudl email me more delivery conf numbers- I received nothing.
She asked me to have lamont stop emailing her-
then proceeded to email him 5-6x a day.
And told me she would comply with the mediation by providing direct asnwers to questions, which she did not.
And confirmation numbers for all - which she did not.
And correct packages which they were not
So the entire structure of the mediation fell apart.
Therefore, you will notice suspension has moved to banning-
That does not mean that she is not responsible for her current trades.
It means she can not create MORE trades through this site- unless someone takes the choice to do it via email
But I also want to point out as she is banned she can not reply or defend herself- so please keep any future conversations, in the factual sense- no slander, or off topic posts please.
As the other packages are received feel free to post- and or correct the situations amongst yourself as you choose-
But as far as the expecations of the board to be a current active trader, right now she is not meeting that expectation.
Lamont 05-20-2006, 10:04 PM believe it or not, i plan for this to be my final word on the matter :wave: :wave:
it is really sad that a formerly good standing member has fallen into such a mess
i hope her example helps others not to make the same mistakes
we ALL get behind, we all make mistakes, we all screw up package sometimes
it happens, no way around it---- the more u trade, the more mistakes u are bound to make
BUT when a person trades for things they do not have yet, or claims that she has things that she doesn't have at all ---- this is BOUND to happen
honesty is always the best way to go---- savageamusement can verify this fact--- I told her BEFORE i mailed the discs to her for angie--- i told her that if angie would just be honest and say she was sorry for lying to me and creating such a mess--- that she had my permission to send them to Angie FOR FREE! to help her get out of this mess (BY THE WAY that offer NO LONGER STANDS!) and I told angie that if she couldnt fulfill the trade to just be honest with me and we could work it out--- I gave her A WAY OUT! But she still chose to keep lying--- DENY DENY DENY :(
so take a good look at this thread and how it progressed and learn from it, dont make the same mistakes angie made, and if you do screw up that badly-- ADMIT YOU MESSED UP and ask for help in fixing it HONESTLY and DIRECTLY! b/c if she had done so when she was given the chance, she might not be banned now and might have all this mess fixed
HOWEVER, I do commend savageamusement for going Above and Beyond the call of duty on this one
but she can only do so much, when the other party choses to lie at every opportunity
not the best solution, none of us STILL have what we are owed, BUT at least its resolved
y2k3Joker 05-26-2006, 09:44 AM To update my situation, Angie apparently sent 2 packages out to me. The first was on May 13th a couple of days after she told us she had already sent - so obviously it was only after we turned on the heat.
She did get a tracking number and that package is showing up as delivered on May 23rd on both the USPS and Canada Post websites, but the funny thing is - IT NEVER ARRIVED AT MY DOOR. I have spent the last couple of days trying to track it down or possibly get an explanation of what could have happened. My mail is pretty reliable - I don't think I've ever had a package lost or missing - delayed at Customs perhaps, but never lost.
There's two possible explanations, the package was mis delivered by the post office or Angie in her haste to get all the trades out, wrote the wrong street address on the box (the town is correct according to the deliv. conf. #) and it was delivered somewhere else. I filed a claim with the Post Office to see if they could do anything. In both cases the only chance of finding it is if the receiver does a "return to sender" which is very unlikely.
Maybe this is a case of bad luck but then again, maybe it's not.
I'll update again if that 2nd package ever makes it to my house.
Lamont 05-26-2006, 09:49 AM JOKER---- actually there is a THIRD option
my guess is that Angie Kelley--- knowing the HEAT was on and the fact that she had ALLREADY told u it was sent
had to send SOMETHING OUT
so my guess is that she PURPOSELY wrote the WRONG ADDRESS
so that she could CLAIM it was the post office fault and NOT hers
i cannot say for 100% BUTTTTTTTTT given the fact that she has told 1000 lies allready on this topic
and lied and sent wrong to Joey
and lied and sent wrong to konfusion
and lied and sent wrong to savage for me
and on and on and on
i would be willing to bet that she did it on PURPOSE to play the victim card
once again
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
savageamusement 05-26-2006, 11:06 AM So in all the disray and all the emails- and so forth.
Sooooooooooo.
Lamonts pacakge was wrong, I verified that- I am now aiting for a new package.
Ricks pacakge was countless discs that were incorrect-
He is waiting for a new package
Lorens package isn't correct- I wont give specific details, but wrong episode count, wrong disc count
Jokers package is at the wrong address, might be bad luck- but to no responsibility of his, as he didn't write out the address label obviously.
I have said this before- but it stuns me, this many problems.
It can't all be bad luck. It can't all be misfortune.
At some point responsiblity comes down to 3 things
1-This many remake pacakges can only be becuase original packages were incorrect.
2-For the years Angie has been trading (and I said this to her directly) you don't trade what you dont have, and don't check.
3-When you are fixing things becuase of previous problems- you verify, double check and accurately replace items.
Getting a pacakge to lamont wiht unlabeled episodes because you "didn't have time" when that was in fact, the point of the trade-
Doesn't fly.
And sending completely the wrong items to Rick, when an accurate list was given three times by email- doesn't fly.
Even something as getting the address right-is a basic item you can double check and make error proof.
So far NOT ONE problem I have seen, couldn't have been avoided.
And the fact 2 users have spoken up and said their trade went ok- Agent13, and April shows one of two things
1-She simply lucked out, by the sure basic chance of things.
or
2-She KNOWS how to trade correctly, and just isn't doing it consistantly.
Either way this has been dragging on MONTHS at this point- even with moderator attention, even with recent, ongoing active threads-
To me the waste of time for such things is utterly unbelievable.
savageamusement 06-05-2006, 02:56 PM After 2 months of my involvement-
I recived today, Angie's Discs-
All burn
All Play
All have menues
All have the correct episodes
I backed them up in a temp file- and will ship them out to Lamont tomrorow, tracked-
And send his items for Angie, off once he receives them.
I was also told that Joker's package came back to her, something about an incorrect address
and is being reshipped today
Lamont 06-05-2006, 03:45 PM Thanks to savage
although at this point, i honestly do not even care
she has proven herself to be of such low moral and ethical integrity that i do not ever want to deal with her again under any circumstances
so thanks for the hard work to savage
but its pretty sad that she had to step in like this to fix so many trades (most of which STILL aint anywhere close to being fixed)
Lamonts final word on the mess
savageamusement 06-05-2006, 04:56 PM I agree this was no where near an ideal situation :(
I just hope the rest come through, maybe better late than never is still worth something.
I just hope at least something was learned from it?
(Fingers crossed)
