what's the story?


Do a quick google search with his name and "trade" or "buy".

Basically, from what I got out of it, he scammed bunch of people here in that thread by not sending out the items he promised after he received money. Despite everybody's effort to contact him via public post or PM, this guy played dumb the whole time claiming that he was work on it, that he was never contacted, or he didn't know what was going on.

What was worse is that this whole time he owed bunch of people money, he was in that thread buying other people's stuff. Then when he was confronted he blamed on the fact that he needed pay bills or alluding that he didn't make that much money...after he made fun of one of the people that he stole money from ("ohhhh 12 dollars so much...!!!")

I have to echo some sentiment here about this guy should be banned. I mean, at least establish some standard so this can be somewhat prevented or moderated in the future.

Avoid this guy.

# red shoe paul - ~~ - owes money, continues to ignore PMs (should be banned!) - Kerrinck - 07/07/2010 Updated 7/31/2010: TheBrain76 also reports that red shoe paul sold him a Red Dead Redemption t-shirt and never sent it to him. And also refuses to acknowledge PMs or get in contact with anyone. Kerrinck states that red shoe paul still owes him money. red shoe paul is actively trying to “purchase” items within the thread. Be very aware. Updated August 24, 2010: Still hasn’t paid back the entire sum of money. Holy crap.
 
i really hate to see an awesome thread like this one get sidetracked (and the irony of my continuing it isnt lost on me, heh), just wanted to say to the "he should be banned" crowd: yeah, that'd be cool, but go back to page 1 when the new buy/sell/trade thread was made by Evilore; he explicitly said mods weren't going to come to the rescue on that one, so buy at your own risk. running this place has to be something like herding cats, so i can imagine why he'd not want a mini-ebay with 3 sides to every story being PM'd at mods, kinda makes sense to wash your hands of it entirely. if we keep insisting otherwise, i figure there's a chance we could lose the thread when it gets to be more trouble than it's worth.

TL;DR: calling out scammers elsewhere like this is prolly the best thing we can do, keep it so the dude's name is mud and no one else trades/etc with him. still...you gotta marvel at the dude's balls: why do you guys keep white knighting, i already paid the guy half, that's better than nothing right LOL hey SOTC GIVE IT TO ME ASSHOLE
 
I got my Xbox 360 transfer kit in the mail today. Tank you, Master Ninja.

I had to explain to the girlfriend why I got a package for "Mr. Snuggler" which was interesting.
Anyways, thank you and bless your kind heart for the giveaway.

Just a Question i have about how everyone feels if somebody continues to ask for and win stuff but never gives back?

There seems to be, at least occasionally, certain posters that will hound these threads and hog up a lot of codes and free stuff. It's annoying and shameless, but there really isn't much you can do about it. It's only their reputation that is at stake.
 
Is kinda weird. I know free is free. But I've seen quite a few times, not only the same person winning multiple items (in the course of a few days), but also multiple items posted around the same time (in the course of a few minutes). [Like "Me?"..then a minute later "Me?".]

There should be a guide about if someone "won" something that month, he can't "ask" for a free item till the next month. Granted, that's up to the person giving the item.
 
The person i have seen win is kai3345 not just lately but in the past has well so far hes won roughly 50 things from this thread including games dvds and codes and other things has well.
 
OK folks, its very rare I have things to give away (so far gave away Bioshock 2 code, FFXI Ultimate Edition Sealed) however, I have recently found stuff I forgot I had!

First Up:

Halo Reach Recon Helmet Code
