The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

I was in the search for a screen accurate sling for my PR when I came across this one advertised on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALIENS-M41-A-Pulse-Rifle-Screen-Accurate-sling-first-time-Ever-on-EBAY-SEE-/290895139136?
I thought I would ask the seller if it really was screen accurate as the clips looked wrong on it from the ones I had seen on here. I was astounded at the reply I got, so astounded I felt I had to post it on here so others could avoid being caught out. The guy was just damn rude, quality customer service skills.

This guy is also selling armour at a ridiculous price $2000, the stuff I got from Chef looks much more detailed and much cleaner not to mention far cheaper. Just thought I would put it up here to give people the heads up.

So much more gracious than what I called him!

Funny how two threads concerning the same muppet have been posted within about 24 hours of each other!

How does he sleep straight in bed?

On a bed of money from people who actually pay him?

I tried to report it as fake and the only options available are to report it as used makeup or cosmetics :?

Unfortunately his item isn't "fake" in the way Ebay will see it. He isn't selling it as a genuine sling but a "reproduction" and I guess that is in the eye of the beholder as to how "screen accurate" it is.

Don't get me wrong- I think it is nothing like a pulse rifle sling, and this guy is a total worm.

The toaster comment was mild compared to his reactions to questions in the past. They have been laced with profanity and terms such as "drop dead."

The only way to deal with a guy like this is to continue to put the word out about him and his completely unethical business practices. Unfortunately like I said in the other thread, with the World at his feet, our reaching everyone to say "don't give this guy your money" is a never-ending uphill battle.

But we should continue the fight regardless.

I contected that jerk with an honest question about his PR. You can imagine the response I got.

What an asshole. It's a crying shame that he stays in business.

This guy is such a twat.

Here is his source for 4.35 canteen straps.

"SLING/STRAP. For Canteen Pouch. *US Military Surplus* USED"

http://www.ebay.com/itm/220924293713


I bought 2 of them, I'm thinking of listing them for more than 50, and just screw with him in my description.


Though I recommend getting the real deal from me...

Well, here's his little message to me....

Quote:
Matt go fuck yourself you little weasel

I have a problem with drama remember you fuck face little twat .

Take your sling that you have taken 12 months to do and still going and ram it up your ass you sack of shit.
WHo the fuck are you to accuse me of anything you dumb fuck . Go back to your community of jerkoffs what an asshole



A question to Spat and Matsuo, why sell to this individual, when he treats our community members like this, and clearly false advertises?


I will try my best not to sell to him. I already snuffed him out being a sockpuppet on the rpf.

He is such a nice chap!

All we can do is educate the community.


Is there no way people can report his rather useless/abusive replies to questions to eBay?
I doubt they'll do anything, they're getting money... but worth a shot.

The only way he can be hit is in his wallet, by not buying from him.

The dream is of course that an ebayer sells exactly the same items, using the same titles as he does, but at the decent price so if anyone searches, they find the cheaper ones and buy them rather than let him rip them off.

Preferably just after he's bought a massive re-stock! :twisted:

Hang on, no rules have been broken here.

The first link is essentially a warning, but is perhaps the only link that dances around the ebay link rules.

The other two links to the slings are perfectly within our board rules:

(From the PX rules):

Quote:
2b) EBAY LINKS TO SALES ARE ONLY ALLOWED IF
YOU OWN THE ITEM AND IT IS YOUR AUCTION or IT IS AN ITEM
REGULARLY OFFERED IN AN EBAY or ONLINE STORE.


The slings are regularly available items in two ebay stores.
