Opinions *Wanted* AFTERMASH auction real or fake? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

cprompt · 11-16-2004, 08:59 PM

Hello Fellow Sitcom Traders- I need your opinion. I was corresponding with someone who is trying to sell AFTERMASH on Yahoo, but my instincts tell me that the deal or offer is a phony. Still Who knows. Could someone out there with more knowledge of this kind of thing tell me if it is a hoax. The seller refuses to accept paypal because he said he is too worried about "ChargeBacks" Duh, I guess so.... Check it out at; http://page.auctions.shopping.yahoo....6?aucview=0x74

hi, let me say first that the following is my opinion. i don't know the seller etc. alot of sellers on ebay and yahoo don't take paypal, because of costs and other reasons. i sell on ebay and would much rather receive a money order than a paypal payment. i looked at the sellers feedback and he has positives though there are just a few. you might want to see if he/she has sold on ebay as well. do a google search and see if you find any info about the seller. if i wanted the set, i think i would take a chance and send the seller a money order. again just my opinion. hope that helps. thanks

Thank You very very much for your opinion. I value your input greatly. It is worth noting that this seller is NARU'd (kicked off) of eBay with a rating of 19 (although there could be an explaination) and his Yahoo rating of 4 consists of 3 "BUYS" and only 1 "SELL" Mainly I am suspect of this listing because of the "text" of the listing itself. It's just little too pefect. Obviously copied from TV-TOME or some sort of website like that..

I would be careful this stuff looks like the same stuff this guy sold me a while ago. When I finally recieved most of my stuff, the silver spons were poor quality at best (must have recorded using rabbit ear antenna) Jona of Arcadia had to have the volume cranked to hear and Married with Children and 70's Show never showed. He had asked if I would transfer After Mash with me so it's a good possability it's the same. Ask where he's from and if he says Texas proceed with caution.

Yes you are right, this guy is from Amarillo Texas. Did you say that you worked on AFTERMASH with him? Does that mean that you have AFTERMASH?

No, when I finally recieved half my order I did a backward search on his number (he wouldn't take paypal then either for the same reason) to ask where the rest of my stuff was he apologized and said it would go out the next week and would I be interested in converting his After Mash VHS for him, he would put it in with my stuff but I never saw my Married or 70's (or the After Mash) so deal with him at your own risk, you might or might not get it and if you do it might or might not be watchable. He has also gone under nascardealer2004@yahoo.com or something like that. If you do continue to deal with him mention that Charles in L.A. (the one who called him) is still waiting on his stuff. I'll keep an eye out for After Mash for you tho' just in case. My site is www.freewebs.com/archimedes37
