cd drive sold

[RR1980]

Just let the guy sell his drive. It seems really unfair to make statements like that in someones thread. 

easy man... comments were all friendly (ok zeta was a little harsh)... and not everyone looks at ebay as a guide for what stuff is worth...
I got a whole complete PCE breifcase system for $100 with games but i guess that does not count as i did not buy from ebay "the real market ".... if its a good price it sells so will see.

LoL, I got my last one out of a junk basket for 5 bucks (not just the CD-Rom, but the whole IFU30 incl. PC Engine). And it still works. There are always prices and PRICES.

haha for most of us if we want to take advantage of this 500 yen IFU sale we would have to spend $1,000 on plane tix and hotel cost to go to the Hard Off or Akiba or wherever tho so there are costs and then there are COSTS hehe

Nuthin' wrong with listing it here and on ebay at the same time.  Who cares?

Thats not the point....

<sigh>

...

Doh.  Missed that part.  I'm with Blue... it'd be cool if you are the dude sellin' repairs on ebay if you could write up a howto.  Not like it's going to take away from your ebay business much.  It's two different audiences I think...

[pceslayer]

I can confirm he is in fact chriscomputers based on the paypal email he supplied me with when I bought the PCEngine briefcase off him.

I have nothing against the guy, but boldface lying ain't cool.

and thread title change speaks for itself...

I have nothing against the guy, but boldface lying ain't cool.

Indeed.

This guy seems like a real piece of work. Not only does he come around once, give the community the finger as he makes off with repair info we've all worked long and hard at attaining, but then he goes and starts a repair business with it, refusing to share any of his findings with the community and charging a premium for his work. If it wasn't for the wealth of repair information compiled here in these forums, he wouldn't have a repair business to begin with. This is appalling in and of itself, but it doesn't stop there.

This isn't enough for him. No, he feels the need to come BACK. You might think under normal circumstances this would be to mend burnt bridges and make good on his previous errors, but not this guy. He comes back under an alternate identity to further leech repair information and when his identity is discovered, he fabricates not one, but TWO bold-face lies.

He basically had three opportunities with which to make amends with the community, and instead of utilizing them, he chose instead to be deceitful and dig himself deeper, in the process eliminating any remaining credibility. And in true RoyVegas "Man, I got busted" form, he edited all his posts, tucked tail, and ran off.

Nice going, dude.

yikes. A lot has happened since I last read this. And I was trying to help him out on page one. I'll go out on a limb and blame NEC for making crappy drives. it's all their fault. See the drama they have created.....Im kidding.

It is what it is.

Coca cola is full of lies and they wont release their "secret" ingredients (generic coke sucks for a reason) but I manage to buy and drink a ton of that crap anyway.

I have never had a problem with keith myself. He was always a good guy to me but I see where you guys are coming from. In the end it sucks for everyone. 

[RR1980]

yeah gamefreak I am sure your experience with him was great as had a few guys had said about Chriscomputers in the old thread. I am sure he's not a terrible person and his prices aren't really crazy gouging either. We just wish he would realize that working with us will lead to better repairing methods in the end and he will benefit from that in the bigger picture. Hopefully he'll be more careful and can contribute more with his next identity.

That's a poor analogy, and you know it.

This is a community, one that thrives on cooperation. Without cooperation, there would be no TurboExpress video fix, no Duo sound repair, no region mod PCB... Need I go on?

I have never had a problem with keith myself. He was always a good guy to me but I see where you guys are coming from. In the end it sucks for everyone. 

He hasn't ripped me off or anything either, but if that's all it takes for someone to be a "good guy," then even Nintega would qualify. To me, "good guys" don't lie and deceive the community at large.

I know, it was a sarcastic analogy. I'll use an emoticon next time for clarification.

            Okay guys, this will be the last time anyone will see me here. Someone, mentioned that I had 3 tries to make things right? Do you want to know why I lied about who I was? It's because of all the drama that comes from these forums. I have seen this same crap done to other new members from time to time and it's outright disgusting. The first time I was a member I was accused of steeling ideas. Then when I explained my idea, everyone acted as if I wasn't smart enough to come up with that idea on my own. God forbid someone comes up with an idea by themselves before they ever became a member of this forum. People here act like they are so high and mighty and to think that anyone else could possibly know something that they don't is hard to swallow. After basically being treated like piss the first time around I felt no need to contribute any info on my cd rom fix especially to the people who were rude to me in the first place(who seem to be the same ones who keep asking me about it). I haven't kept my gear fix a secret just to make money. I'd sooner just get a 2nd job than do this for extra cash. $55 ebay translates to only about $40 after all the ebay and paypal fees and that's for hours of work. Hell, I even gave a memeber of these forums pictures to show everyone my repair and that still didn't seem good enough for anyone. I just don't see a reason to share any of this info after at least 2 or 3 or the regular head repair guys here basically ripped into me. That's not how you ask for someones advice or help. Go ahead and post some whitty coments now about how I am in the wrong. I know that will be comming next. It always does here.                                                                                
              I can't say that my experience on these forums has been all bad. I have bought a few things from people, sold some stuff, made some trades, and shared knowledge back and forth with some very nice people. Thats, what I enjoy about this place.

Totally lame. Childish even.

I lied

We know.

Actually we're quite receptive to new members. You should check out the welcome threads.

The first time I was a member I was accused of steeling ideas.

That's because you went onto the repair forums here and then somehow organically manifested the idea.

Then when I explained my idea, everyone acted as if I wasn't smart enough to come up with that idea on my own. God forbid someone comes up with an idea by themselves before they ever became a member of this forum.

LOL

People here act like they are so high and mighty and to think that anyone else could possibly know something that they don't is hard to swallow.

Actually all of the repair people here are pretty humble and eager to help you out at 3AM with a laser or whatever.

After basically being treated like piss the first time around I felt no need to contribute any info on my cd rom fix especially to the people who were rude to me in the first place(who seem to be the same ones who keep asking me about it).

No one was initially rude to you, it was only after we found out you were gouging and then lying about it.

I haven't kept my gear fix a secret just to make money.

Glad to know it's still officially a secret.

Hell, I even gave a memeber of these forums pictures to show everyone.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I just didn't see a reason to share any of this info after at least 2 or 3 or the regular head repair guys here basically ripped into me. That's not how you ask for someones advice or help.

You were only "ripped" after you claimed you invented the repair. Which is false.

Go ahead and post some whitty coments now about how I am in the wrong. I know that will be comming next. It always does here.                                                                              

The amount of deceptive shenanigans that you have been pulling and the fact that you just got called out on it really trumps any witty comment I could make... Creating alternate userids? C'mon man. Grow up.

* I nominate this thread for the hall of shame.

LOL, ever asked yourself of what could be the root cause of all those dramas?


Think, Chris. Think!

[Trevpwnsnoobs]

I think we need to send this guy back to alpha zones

So many things I'd like to say, but I'll leave it at this....

I felt no need to contribute any info on my cd rom fix especially to the people who were rude to me in the first place(who seem to be the same ones who keep asking me about it).

I'm sorry. I wasn't aware I'd been rude to you. Text is emotionally nuetral, and I did not mean to be.
And fwiw, I wasn't asking about the actual repair. Chop5 covered that already. I just want to know
where the gears come from. I have a unit here I'd like to repair myself. I just can't find the parts.

And blue, I'm waiting patiently. When you have it all together, I'll be one of the first.
Fwiw, the unit you sent Arkhan works great (It was for me, to test Pyramid Plunder on)

I do, however, agree with this:

C'mon man. Grow up.

[Keith Courage]

Don't worry about it TheOldMan. It wasn't you. I am not going to spout off names cause that would just create even more drama. I'd be happy to mail you a gear. Check your personal messages.
