Jimmarcucci Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I can add some info to this. Those tracking numbers are no good. I was given a tracking number that was for a diff package that was going to Texas. I live in New Hampshire. The post office also said the tracking number I had that also had no scans was generated from a different house!!!! So I didn't realize this until right now, but the account I went through with this: http://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/702433 is the same person as this "HOMEWORK". Same name on PayPal and everything. See the post made by Hamptonio, and compare to the name of the PayPal you paid to when sending a payment to HOMEWORK. Same name. I bought from HOMEWORK directly here on VC on December 29, and a tracking number was added to my order on PayPal; but the number has not updated at all past "pre shipment info sent to USPS." I feel like this is an illegitimate tracking number now, after connecting the names together. Buyers beware. I don't trust this seller one bit after this. ALWAYS ASK FOR PERSONAL PICTURES.

TheComebackKid Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I also don't see the SILYAYD thread that was posted that I bought from more recently with 4 variants available. The only thread for it was an older one that was bumped from a few months ago. http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/116586-fs-as-cities-burn-silyayd-all-variants/#entry2424338 That one is still here. Edit: Ok no it's not this one, there was an even more recent one. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackenzie2113 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 He contacted me today and refunded my money via PayPal. Said there was personal issues with his account and that he was contacted everyone and straightening it all out. Hope everyone gets their money back or the records they ordered!

ptothedo Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Just saw this thread. I DID buy a rare album from Homework early December and I DID receive it within 10 days of the paypal payment (goods & services). The packaging was lacking, but once again, I did receive it. Perhaps there's hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homework Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 First and foremost, if your order has not been fulfilled for WHATEVER reason, you may open a dispute with PayPal regarding it. I have initiated refunds on orders with open issues, if you haven't gotten notice on this, please let me know! If you have received an order, thanks. I have messaged a few of you individually. Not to be rude in any manner, you may choose to believe what you want. A few of you, thank you for your kind words. To rest of you, you can continue to harass me, but again, please open a dispute with PayPal for your refund. To address of few of the questions an accusations: Thread DELETION? No thread was deleted. I hid the thread until I was able to further address this situation. No I didn't message a mod to have the thread deleted. I understand why you may believe this to be me evading the issue, but no. I have received a number of disputes at once and it's hard to address them all. My inventory WAS real, and I'm sure if you dig you can find some of the records I have sold multiple copies of variants with success. "will most likely strike again" What strike? I did not have intentions to fraud anyone out of an order. I have been under the weather these past few days and haven't been able to fulfill orders as granted. Do not fret, I don't particularly want to make any further transactions with the community unless you've insisted otherwise. Thank you for those of you who have accepted my apology and understand the matter. I've had issues with my account being limited on PayPal multiple times as being a new seller have have felt with shipping issues before but not to this extent. This has been addressed before if someone wants to chime in on this "make believe story" as well. "potentially scamming because he has openly stated he 'DOES NOT HAVE THE RECORDS' he was just selling, or double sold them." Double sold? I have multiple copies of a lot of variants that I have purchase over the years, (no, not scammed). It has been addressed here previously. I have been called out for being a variant collector and hogging records, yeah. That's the only issue I've ever had in my few years of selling records. "Wow, he got my hopes up by saying he had the record I was looking for. He stopped responding after I asked for photos." I have provided photos for numerous records on here before, some even with my face in them. I have previously informed you I was under the weather (again, believe what you want) and accept responsibility. I have accepted too many orders at once at wasn't able to fulfill on time. I had bought from him in the past and had no issues Same here. I've boughten from him like 2-3 times and have not had a single issue. Purchased something last week though and it's unavailable for one reason or another. Refunds will be issued. Please open a dispute if I have not issued a refund!!! But the thread deletion and accepting low offers for expensive records points to someone trying to make some quick money ripping people off. I will 100% apologize if I am mistaken, I will edit the post to say Potential Scammer. What low offers? I think a few of the offers that were given to me were acceptable. I have been more than fair as far as pricing previously, if someone wants to back this up, go for it. Only seems like a good kid because he got tracked down lol. Tracked down? I don't believe I was trying to fraud anyone. My information was public and if I were surely trying to scam don't you think I would have been more cryptic about it? I.E. not using my real PII. He has the whole pressing of Ac cities burn unopened? Firs tresses of Brand New, Thrice, The Dear Hunter, The Devil Wears Prada, Converge, BTBAM all sealed? It could happen but it seems like a quick way to prey on people who are looking for those particular records. Thanks for backing this up and saying you have received these types of records. Yes, a lot of my records were brand new and sealed. I collected and kept most of the records in storage over the years. Addressed previously on this forum when people incriminated me about being a fake scammer when I first started selling. 95% of my records were brand new or opened and never played. Found his discogs account and it has 55+ feedback all positive. Account was banned, obviously not deleted. 55+ was probably more than 100 but we know everyone doesn't reply or leave feedback. Tracking issues Not everyone is perfect. I have sent out different tracking numbers before by accident, and been confronted about it. If you item has showed up and I have sent you a messed up tracking number before, please speak up as well. I would like to fully extend my apologies to the community, and would like to have all orders resolved that have yet to be.

rooks Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 So no reasoning for not sending people stuff? Just telling people they're wrong? I don't get it. It's all very legit you see. The inventory WAS real. He hid the threads because he was getting too many paypal disputes, not because he was hiding them. He's working very hard at accepting paypal disputes for all the records he isn't sending people. It's very easy to understand.

He will get to you when he figures out what records are going on in his collection and then money to something or another. #easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People that sell legitimately and only records they actually own have to deal with tons of paypal disputes en masse all the time. We've all been there.

burkyburk Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 How long do these Paypal disputes typically take? When should I expect to be compensated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayCauseDeath Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 His story is absolute bullshit I don't care what he says his intention was. If his intention was good then where are the records? Anyone who purchased from him out of the last 2 threads who receives a record just say I received it in the next week! If not a single person does then something is wrong with that. If he refunds all the money even the gifted payments then he means well. If he doesn't then he is a liar fair and square. Why doesn't he just refund and not make us all dispute the payments? That makes no sense. Jimmarcucci and Valeriano 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boops_popmarket Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I feel bad for everyone who has been involved in this. If it were me, I would just focus on getting my money back and give up on trying to get a satisfying response from the seller or closure on what actually happened. It doesn't sound like the latter is going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Wait, He sold the records in the last week and people are going crazy? I think Revelation still owes me some records from 1995 mailorder that I sent a money order in on kurtz, batnoises, shawnayala90 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayCauseDeath Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 This is a simple case of actions outweigh words. He said he has "refunded" but I haven't received a dollar. Then he said his account was suspended and refunded all he could or something. It's absolute bullshit. It's not hard to refund a transaction and because he's sayinng open a dispute to get your money back is absolutely suspicious. If what he is saying is true just give us our money back. Even if he's being honest and has the records I don't want anything from this guy other than my money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
