Guest Dirk Tiggler Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Pete doesn't need any support off me because he's getting plenty from everywhere else. However, just for the record, he sold some records for me a couple of years ago, mainly mod stuff and obscure British releases on Ebay that I had no idea about. I watched them go through, writing down the final sale price. When I went down to see him with my listings to get the money sorted he noticed straight away that a couple of my prices were short...went onto explain about sniping programmes on Ebay. There was one record with a £90 difference. He could have short changed me easy as wink and I wouldn't have been any wiser but he didn't. Not saying grading mistakes can't happen but I'd trust him. Speak as you find -Regards Ade
Guest moggy Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Dear Mr Richard Turpin Smith No, we should not make light of these situations, its Petes integrity at stake here and although plenty of people know the score when dealing with him and have no issues and put his service level and items purchased at near excellent There are those who do not know Pete, and its that thought thats pissing him off, that he may be thought of as a shady dealer, which is not nice when its your livleyhood Chin up Pete Dont have the answer just showing a bit of support mate
Pete S Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 Hello Paloma, I can see you reading this
Guest Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 First of all, I dont understand why if forum moderating closed the dispute, why Pete Smith continues blah blah blah blah with the same story in a new message... so that I have to reply again. I dont want to continue with this argue. The only I have to repeat is that the mp3 have been recorded with a very very heavy needle on the turntable, a lot of weight improves condition that does not reflect the real condition of the record. Some people says here is this forum that in other occasions Pete Smith offered returned the money. Why did you not do this time? Easy, I repeat again, because he knew that condition was far to the one he stated and it would be hard to resell the record with a bad condition. I sell records since more than 20 years ago and I dont act like he did. The difference between Pete Smith and me is that I go to sleep with my clear consciencie. He told me that I had to sue him about that and I did. I dont have to add anything more.

I never, ever overgrade records, what would the point of that be? Oh just send it back and I'll refund your money IF it's in the same condition that I sent it out in. You've lost any credibility that you ever had though.

Soulie_girl_80 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 ok.. didnt want to say anything about it.. cause i think its a problem between Paloma and Pete, and they are who know very well about what happened.. Pete, i only bought you a record once, and i didnt have problems at all, but what i dont understand is why didnt you return her the money if you offered that option to anothers before..? its just to know.. you could have sold the record to another person.. its not that difficult.. well, its what i think.. cheers Ana
Guest moggy Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Whats goin on here then Looks like the Spanish mafia are ganging upon our Pete Behave yourselves you lot repeating the same old question
Soulie_girl_80 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Whats goin on here then Looks like the Spanish mafia are ganging upon our Pete Behave yourselves you lot repeating the same old question hey hey i knew this was going to happen! i just asked something!! whats wrong with that?
Pete S Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 ok.. didnt want to say anything about it.. cause i think its a problem between Paloma and Pete, and they are who know very well about what happened.. Pete, i only bought you a record once, and i didnt have problems at all, but what i dont understand is why didnt you return her the money if you offered that option to anothers before..? its just to know.. you could have sold the record to another person.. its not that difficult.. well, its what i think.. cheers Ana Because it's hard work selling records nowadays and when it's an expensive one I want the person to be positive before the deal is done, which is why she was sent the mp3 of it, she was able to decide from that recording. To insinuate that I somehow doctored the recording, like she is doing, is slanderous - the usb deck plugs into the computer and I just record it using audacity, no filters, no clean up programs, nothing. The reason I didn't offer her the money back is because there is nothing wrong with the record, I would say the same to you if you bought something off me, if it's damaged or not as described, then yes I will take it back, but if it is exactly as described - then why should I take it back? And another thing thats actually being missed here. £400 for that record is actually a bargain, even if it was in VG minus it would be worth more than that, someone who really wanted the record would have been absolutely delighted getting it for that price.
Pete S Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 you could have sold the record to another person.. its not that difficult.. Er, yes it is actually, it's hard having only records to rely on for income
Guest moggy Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Because if you read Petes posts he has answered the question you are asking again
Pete S Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 Where the f&ck am I going to get £400 from I paid my rent with it!

Soulie_girl_80 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Because if you read Petes posts he has answered the question you are asking again sorry then..
mischief Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Pete, I have always had good buys from you.. if you are getting bad mouth in spain now, maybe you should just stop selling them records.. Easy ... I know its your living but you have your pride. So you don't need it you can't have people taking libertys. Can I ask how long between recieving the record and Paloma (sorry not sure of name) getting in touch with you about it was?
Pete S Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 thanks for the reply.. well.. i just hope you and her will sort it out.. i think the best thing you both could have done is talked about it in private.. but its just my opinion ehh hehe.. my problems are with paypal.. since 2 weeks ago or so, and they didnt sort it out yet We did talk about in private until she threatened me with slagging my name off on any and every forum and mailing list she could find, which is why this topic is called 'getting my retaliation in first' - she told me she was going to spread whatever rubbish she could make up. Anyway, I've been asked to close the thread now so I will do so, if anyone wants to open a new one, fine by me. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and offered testimony to my honesty, I think we all know the truth
