After receiving the cracked copy of Marlena Shaw - Woman of the Ghetto 45 and stating that I could not refund the buyer's money due to the fact that the merchandise was not returned in the same condition as when I sent it (this is now after sending a photograph of the cracked record to the buyer), I am now receiving very interesting threats via email. The best part is that the email came from a different email address but is using the same name as the buyer's shipping address on paypal (although different than his email user name). Check this one out:Mr XXXXXXXXXX.I am the President of the Vinyl-Record Association Germany and one of our Business Partners just informed us about a uncorrect Deal you made through Ebay.We hope that you clear the situation with our Member XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX, otherwise we will put you on our black List of unserious Recorddealer.We will send out your Ebay Seller Name?? and your Private Adress (we got from XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX)to 50000 Members and Recordcollectors Worldwide.Also, we will give 20000 Flyer with your Bad Profil to all RecordFreaks on the worlds biggest RecordFair in Utrecht(netherlands) on the 14-16 April 05.Believe Me we will do that communication!We will protect our Members.Hope you will find the right solution mr. XXXXXXXXXX otherwise you will have big problems .We will disturb your unserious Record Business very much and in every way!You better cooperate.sin! cerely,XXXXX XXXXXX

You are an unserious record dealer... i'm going to make you pay![/b]
Ari, this can't be serious! Too much. This is something out of monty python "the vinyl-record association of Germany" hahahahahaha lol
You should get Frank on the case. He's been known to take care of unserious German recordBuyers.
I did not know there were fan-outs to alert all European record buyers of unserious record dealers.
This same guy also said that he was going to start reissuing ultra-rare groove titles like Marlena Shaw - Woman of the Ghetto. I informed him that he might think of picking something a little harder to find on its original format and perhaps easier to negotiate in terms of copyright and ownership.
this has officially become ebay bullshit week for me.
"We are nihilists. We will disturb your unserious record business!"
then tell him you're sorry, but if he had shipped the record properly, and it had not cracked, that you would send him a refund.
I was just about to say "they threw a mongoose in my bath tub!"...
This is a pretty serious threat, no?
This guy seriously thinks re-releasing "woman of the ghetto" on 45 will make him a global funk superstar. You fucked up his dreams!!
Sympathies tho. fugg this guy.
Then we cut off your Johnson!
oh... i forgot to mention that this guy uses a fake spanish name that translated to butter...
This is kind of tight.
mantequilla??????????
LOL
baile baile baile, muchacho.
Now you fucked it up.
what'd i do?
this is clearly undermined by your unseriousness in dealing with records.
headz know tha deal
i am not a headz. I am strictly unserious.
Didn't he know you're the dude[/b]
"ASSHOLE!! I contacted the German Vinyl-Record Assiciation and imfomedt hem to your Cheap Tricks.You should have a Crisis Maaneggement Now.Watch me!!You Fucking Bastard!!"
Can we get a German Strutter to please compose an equally offensive retort in German?
This is really the only move.
