The Smiley Smile Message Board

:angry

I ordered 3 records (from one seller) on gemm.com. I just got the package in today, and 2 of the 3 are spot on. Smiley Smile and Sunflower (original pressings), but the third record is where they screwed up. It was suppose to be Carl & The Passions with Pet Sounds but instead they sent me...get ready: Donnie Warwick - Anthology Vol 2.

seriously, how the f*** can you screw that one up?

 :smash

A while back I ordered the MIU/LA 2fer from walmart, opened the jewel case and inside was A Carl and and Passions: so tough cd , actually ended up being quite pleased with the mistake, but good grief, DONNIE WARWICK?  LOL :lol :lol

I hope this is their version of a sick joke!

once again...:smash

Back when I was a bigger idiot than I am now, I ordered a Nirvana concert VHS from some shady website. It never came and it turns out that the show was never even taped.

Well, the good thing is these guys have gotten an impeccable review rating, Im sure they'll fix it. Im just wonderin what they were thinking when they packed two beach boys records and a 'dionne warwick' anthology..:shrug

Who is Donnie Warwick and how did they get a second anthology?

:shrug

this is the best pic that I can find (http://www.char-star.com/cover/d/dionnewarwick44.jpg)

I got that ^ instead of Carl & The Passions w/ Pet Sounds.

IM DOOMED!

Hopefully they'll reply tomorrow with 'were sorry, we're sending out your record right now'

or else! :angry

That's Dionne Warwick you dunce.

You'd like what she sings anyway if you like the inspirations to Pet Sounds.

yeah dude, I only misspelled it once! :psyche

Soz.

Give it a listen though. You have to like Bacharach if you like Pet Sounds.

Oooh - yeah, it's a mistake, but that bird can SING!!!

Dionne Warwick is a great singer...you might actually like the CD...  :lol

Yeah if you got Dionne Warwick instead of Carl and The Passions - ain't you the lucky one?! 

I won some Car 54 Where are You? dvds on ebay and the guy is a lowlife thief. I'm going to turn him in for mail fraud, internet fraud, and sexual harrassment. I'm not taking this lying down. He' s going to jail. I'll fly down to Alabama and kick his Hillbilly ass.

What happened?

Details, please!

Nothing fancy. I sent a check. He cashed it. I waited. Nothing came. I emailed him. Said item should be here in week. Week later I email again. Says "If not there by Monday let me know". Monday came and went. Nothing. Now he won't reply and eBay has banned him as a seller but for whatever reason they refuse to give me his phone number (probably bogus). The address he gave me is an office building, it seems. I am going to call his local police department. Am I going to far for $40? I don't think so. No one makes an ass out of me. I'm filling out the mail fraud forms and I'm waiting on a copy of the check from the bank.

MARK IT ZERO!

Anything else I should be doing to get the money back? Any advice? Am I in danger, since the DVDs I was buying were bootlegs?

Sounds like a scam artist trading on the fact that what you were buying is 'illegal' anyway.

Yeah, but the auction didn't mention they were illegitimate. I am just an innocent shopper.  :)

He had some feedback previously, and had gotten all positive remarks.

They always have perfect feedback until the deal with me, then they turn tail and run off with my money. Always in February too. Same thing happened last year, although that was only $13. I called that Canadian SOB and told him dad that he owed me money. He was just some college student trying to pull a fast one. Never got the $13, though, so I guess he beat me.

Not this time. I'll drive down there and burn his house down and smash his windshield and toilet paper his trees and leave the toilet seat up and throw garbage in his yard and take pictures of his wife coming and going from the mall and write Helter Skelter on the walls in blood and....and...aww, hell, I'm not going to do anything. I'll report him for mail fraud, that's about all I can do.

Fucking dipshit with a nine toed woman.

Remind me not to sell you anything.   :3d

Maybe I have "sucker" written across my face.  :(

nobody fucks with the jesus.

You said it, man. He may fool the fucks in the league office, but he don't fool Jesus. It's bushleague pysch-out stuff. Laughable, man. HAAA HAAAA!

if you can, probably from now on pay for your stuff using paypal, isn't there some sort of fraud protection with paypal?
Carly

Paypal?

HA!

Those jerks don't protect you at all. They let people pick your pocket and then do nothing about it. Some guy vanished off the face of the Earth with my money last year, and they simply said there was nothing they could do.

Paypal is a piece of sh*t. Believe me.

He's right about Pay Pal. I've had some bad deals with them, too.

just got a reply


 :spin :spin :spin

Don't send it back to the guy. Be a rebel. Make some fun.

thats not cool.

Yeah but at least you're giving that guy another post on his message board of choice. Think about it, he made his thread about recieving some stinkin' Pet Sounds instead of his beloved Dionne Wawick. You guys both have something in common in this world. Just so he doesn't take that pleasantry for granted, rip him off and be mean.

I'm just kidding, you know.

Ha!  The CFO and Vice President of PayPal have two kids that go to my school.  The kids are great but the parents are jerks!

Last I heard there was a huge class-action lawsuit against PayPal.  Karma, bitches!

Oh no...i've always had positive experiences with PayPal.  You guys are shattering a myth here...

Me too, Susan.  I have never had a problem with paypal :afro

We bought a guitar on eBay, only to find it in much worse condition than the description and pictures advertised. We tried to get a return/refund through Paypal, and they found in favor of the other guy. We were supposed to submit a quote of how much the guitar would cost to fix from a dealer. Six minutes after we faxed the paperwork to Paypal mediation, they made their decision. It seemed to me that they already had made the decision before seeing the guitar dealer's report. I guess it's easier to leave the funds where they are and say the transaction went smoothly than to try to admit there was a problem, and try to compensate us by reversing the transaction...

Okay, I’ve gotten my mail fraud forms, copies of the cashed check, copies of all coorespondance…..I hope this scumbag goes to jail.

I managed to get his phone number and surprise! It’s disconnected. He’s on the run. You can’t mess with the United States Postal Service! You take my money and then stab me in the back? You’re going down, hombre!
