Guest MissHongkongfuey Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 After a recent thread on here regarding the 1973 Jerry Williams - If You Ask - Calla demo. I decided to buy one recently listed on Ebay. Here's the link to the original listing...... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jerry-Williams-If-you-ask-me-Yvonne-7-inch-vinyl-single-/171418556393?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=Snl7KUQEmG2s0DZkmAWniWz74gY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc What I actually received in the post today was an absolutely battered copy of the Pie Disco Demand one. Utterly unplayable!! If the seller was nearer to me, I would have returned it in person, making sure that the record and his sphincter were introduced in a joyous union. I should have known better, with only one feedback to his name.
Guest Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 What an absolute bounder!! No doubt you`ve pointed this out to Ebay.

pikeys dog Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Claim item not as represented and you'll get your money back.
Guest MissHongkongfuey Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Bugger! He did have an emergency to tend to! Peter Indeed Peter!! He heard that I was setting off for Stafford wearing heavy duty rubbing gloves..... up to the elbow!!!
Pete S Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 He's actually broken the law there. Tell him to give you the money back immediately or you'll send your mates round. I can get a posse of 8 men together at short notice
Guest MissHongkongfuey Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Claim item not as represented and you'll get your money back. Already sorted Joe. He didn't respond to me, only Ebay but requested that I returned it via recorded delivery (at my expense) for a refund. I then sent him another one demanding the cost of return postage also. Refund agreed etc but I'm wounded I now don't have the record. Just gobsmacked he tried to pull something like this but half expected, with no feedback that he'd disappear off the planet too. Grateful for the refund Edited August 28, 2014 by MissHongkongfuey
Tattoodave Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Claim item not as represented and you'll get your money back. and when sending it back make sure you don't put any postage on it

I can get a posse of 8 men together at short notice Ahahahahaha..... Rather like "Rock, paper scissors", My heafty batty, my rubber gloves & an arsehole detector built into my PMT fuelled fist is all I need to be armed with Petal Much thanks for the posse offer though!
Guest Dave Turner Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Seller lifted that pic off the net as that very same pic of the Calla demo was used on this site back in 2010. Whether or not it was Prophonics' actual copy or a scan already on the net at that time I don't know. Post 12 in below thread Edited August 28, 2014 by Dave Turner

Whether or not it was Prophonics' actual copy or a scan already on the net at that time I don't know. Post 12 in below thread I wonder if he's just lazy or unable to take or upload pics for whatever reason? Makes me doubt all the records on his list. Really looking forward to his future feedback.
Swifty Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 When you send it back don't forget the Stanley Knife blades in the packaging

Here's his Eddie Regan scan from CF https://collectorsfrenzy.com/details/330695524319/Eddie_Regan_Playin_Hide_And_Seek The John Roberts with the "46" sticker being sold by a US seller https://www.ebay.com/itm/John-Roberts-45-Sockin-1-2-3-4-DUKE-/390608607434 etc, etc, etc
Guest Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Can you still report an item for breach of copyright?.........if he`s using someone else`s scan Ebay will remove his listings.

Dear Elsie. I wear only the finest "Coo Ca Choo" Alvin style gaunlets. Complete with Tiger Eye and Goth Skull rings. Usually saved for Duelling with Southerners and shifty sellers. Black is my colour of choice during my rubber moments. Edited August 28, 2014 by MissHongkongfuey
Guest Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 In answer to my own question YES!! I reported the Eddie Regan as the photo has been taken from one of my old listings. (not really mine)
Guest Dave Turner Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) The Billy Preston and Johnny Williams (bottom one of the two) scans even have Avid Vinyl's watermark FFS Edited August 28, 2014 by Dave Turner

Guest Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 The Billy Preston and Johnny Williams scans even have Avid Vinyl's watermark FFS Go to his listings, find one and half way down the page on the right hand side is "Report Item"
Prophonics 2029 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Al least he didn't photocopy my scan...pop the middle out and glue it on and then get the bell stamper out again. It's been known! Funny cause it has a small mark above the I. Edited August 28, 2014 by Prophonics 2029
Prophonics 2029 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) The word that comes to mind rhymes with runt banana? I have never been good a cryptic crosswords as well Edited August 28, 2014 by Prophonics 2029 1

Guest MissHongkongfuey Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Not sure what feedback to leave. Any suggestions?
Tony A Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Not sure what feedback to leave. Any suggestions? No idea, unless I wanna get some naughty points for offensive language.
Pete S Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Not sure what feedback to leave. Any suggestions? Well as he completely ripped you off you have no alternative but to leave him negative, do it and save others from being ripped off because getting negative so early will really f*ck his ratings up
Guest sharmo 1 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Let them come Simon. I'm ready for them! rubber.png that's a new hair do for you then madam .
Chatty Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 We could all bid mad amounts on his other items then tell him where to go. Or better still send monopoly money as payment (much like he did with said record) 1
Prophonics 2029 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) I want some money! for the use, ware and public broadcasting on my fookin scan. Edited August 30, 2014 by Prophonics 2029
bri phill Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 When you send it back don't forget the Stanley Knife blades in the packaging I find old razor blades have more effect and are cheaper 1
Gigs Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Hoped you smeared it in dog shit when you sent it back? 1
Guest MissHongkongfuey Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I'm sending it back this morning with a 20p stamp on it, so if he wants it back to sell on again.... he'll have to pay the excess cost. Think he might have to pay a £1 for the handling charge too!! I was tempted by the blades but thought it better to let the Old Man rub it over his genitals instead
Guest MissHongkongfuey Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 that's a new hair do for you then madam . Sorted!!!
Guest MissHongkongfuey Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Well as he completely ripped you off you have no alternative but to leave him negative, do it and save others from being ripped off because getting negative so early will really f*ck his ratings up Sorted Pete! He's got 50% for his feedback now. The other one left, which seems to be very positive, must have come from his Nan!
Derek Pearson Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Situations like this leave me puzzled - apart from the fact that it looks like straight fraud how on earth does the seller think he can do this with absolutely no comeback? Do they think or hope the buyer can't be bothered with more stress and just write it off? Or maybe they don't even see the problem? ie. What's the big deal she wanted Jerry Williams and she got Jerry Williams. I sometimes sound a bit naive as though why would anybody do stuff like this? But why waste time trying to figure out why other people do daft stuff? I'm still amazed at the way some people operate and guess I always will. Derek Edited September 2, 2014 by Derek Pearson

Derek That's a bit rich coming from you Mr Pearson, doing daft stuff I mean, no reflection on your records sales. 1
Guest MissHongkongfuey Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I've just been back on ebay to check his feedback, as I knew he had several finishing around the same time as mine..... Of the 11 positive feebacks received, 8 are from the same buyer!! All very suspicious in my eyes. 1 neutral from a buyer with the same issues as me also. He'll get bored of selling to himself!!!!
