How many of you got rear-ended by waiterguy? - Blu-ray Forum

gus_30 · 01-19-2010, 08:19 PM

Decided to trade on this site, sent off two Disney steelbooks to Derek the waiter and got sweet all in return. Guess I'm 0 for 1, anyone else get shafted or am I the only one?

Sorry for calling the guy out but I got screwed and think people should be aware of his practices. Got one other trade pending...hope that works out.

Update: Just received my movie...it come in one piece. Derek held up his end of the deal, hope he continues and comes through for everyone else.

I have dealt with Derek a bunch of times and never once had a problem with any of them

gus_30 · 01-19-2010, 09:33 PM

I figured that many would and will come to his defence but I got screwed end of story. He doesn't reply to pm's and has recently been banned. So it looks like I'll never be getting my movie.

Glad to see u guys had a good experience but I didn't. So, I'm just wondering if anyone else is in the same situation and I think I should pass along my experiences. Were suppose to protect each other from this crap. I'm just putting the word out.

gus,
I am sorry to hear about your misfortune, the guys above most likely sold him items or had a paypal transaction to back it up, which works differently than a trade. Seems like The ones shafted were international trades, You are not alone, there are like 12 others that we are aware of, your name was never on the list.

He created a second ID and the site staff has taken measures to make sure He doesnt come back.

Please make sure you file a complaint with the internet fraud division, they forward complaints to the local police dept's here in USA
Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home

I hope Derek comes through but I am not optimistic

i am still waiting for 9 Steelbooks from Waiterguy too

I had hope its just christmas/New yaears custom delay but reading this doesn't seem it is. I got replys from him within the last days. So if he is banned now can he still read the PM's ?

yeah i learned it the very hard way too i think i don't will make such big trades again

Besides my missing steels what pisses me too is that i traded some for a german friend who shipped me the steels for the trade for his steels and i now i am in charge to get him the steels too

bigjee · 01-19-2010, 11:53 PM

Guys there's a way of getting in contact with Waiterguy.

PM me and I'll tell you how.

Derek is still honoring my trade hopefully you guys will be able to get your transaction completed with him.

I have yet to receive my SB after 2 months though. Still waiting but we'll see.

Have you contacted him outside of this forum?

ekalak10 · 01-20-2010, 02:25 AM

Wow...that is a lot of steel. Looks like this waiter dude built himself up for one big score, and left everyone hanging...sorry to read that.

Cory Lendon · 01-20-2010, 03:07 AM

No issues with Derek here, either. Made atleast 3 transactions.

sfmarine · 01-20-2010, 03:39 AM

I hope you guys get your trades/purchases. I hate hearing about these things. I've had to deal with it too and it's extremely unfortunate.

Make sure you file a complaint with Paypal to get your money back and get him into trouble for scamming people.

HD 335 · 01-20-2010, 04:12 AM

Damn, the scamming gets worse and worse. I remember I got scammed once by Mark Sommers aka Westend604, fortunately it wasn't for much, something like 2 cheap blu-rays. And then there was the whole Keith Robertson aka Jesterkeeters. I consider myself lucky I didn't get hit by him, but I knew a bunch of people who did and it wasn't for peanuts either. Sucks because both had quite a bit of feedback, like Waiterguy and then just decided to become an ass.
