mcpherson123 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Well he did reply to people saying certain records were sold already. If he was truly trying to pull a scam wouldn't he accept any money people sent him and not tell people certain records were sold already. The buyers will catch on less quickly if they talk to each other and don't find out that they were promised the same record. Still, I don't know that this IS a scam but just felt like clearing up why that would be a logical step in the potential scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweaver Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 people should just use common sense or at least apply the golden rule of "if it's too good to be true it most likely is." this screams scam. this guy joined a few days ago just to post what could be a scam sale thread and is selling stuff for a tiny fraction of what it typically goes for. either way paypal should have you covered, but why even take a chance on something this fishy. this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Dave Conway works for Working Group Management: http://www.workinggroupmgmt.com . He manages Never Shout Never, Hellogoodbye, etc. and used to work for Doghouse Records (he signed Weatherbox, Jet Lag Gemini and others). I've worked with him for years. This is not a scam.

I've caught a ton of good deals here. As im sure alot of people have. Not everyone wants $200 for a record they payed $10 for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Yeah, he was quick to reply when asking for money. But when I asked if he shipped yet, no response. Communication is key. I don't care when he ships (within a reasonable amount of time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care when he ships (within a reasonable amount of time). seriously. this isn't like buying from a store. you shouldn't sell on this board if you don't understand that a buyer or trader wants to know what the hell is going on, especially after money is exchanged. its amazing how many people lack common courtesy and sense.

kpumaorn Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 i emailed this morning and got a response rather fast...he said i could share this with you guys...so heres what he emailed me.. Yep stuff went out today and tmrw. Your stuff went out, I think you had 2 orders. Those people seem pretty intense/funny/nerdy/scary. I sold all that stuff super cheap and am getting all orders out within a week. Tell everyone to go outside. And there is nothing left, well there is some, but I decided to give away what I didn't sell in the first 3 days. Everything that I got paypaled got shipped and I think people got killer deals. Its also been a holiday weekend, so I went away for 4 days. I'd send photos of the record stacks and stuff, but that seems crazy since I sold every record for 8 bucks or less and then did deals and doiscounted shipping for media mail. I think media takes some time, so people need to breathe. I felt like I was giving stuff away, but now I'm sorta annoyed. I put my info, company on there, where my address and email and phone are, so that's be a shitty scam attempt. Feel free to ppst that.

plasma36 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Fucking shit, this is what happens when I rarely go on the sales board. Hopefully he'll still put those 7"s up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhansel411 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hopefully this is legit. One reason why I have not been speculating about the validity. Didn't want to make him mad. Biggest thing was that Scott backed dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Dude seemed straight to me. Stoked I got the Yo La Tengo screened "Adventureland" I'm obviously the only person on here to think RoC is horribly overrated. Loved ATDI - blew me away at the Hardback just after In Casino was released but I could never find RoC to be as good. That said, I'll spin my copy tonight for the first time in years. All this flurry over it has me wanting to try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
