a

Great trade with RodN

Another tick in the good trade box for Kamma

God trade with "the saiNt"

Great deal with Bolo and liked the smart touch in the case, thanks mate

and vice versa for the trade whore

Thats MR trade whore to you

i want to add skg as someone to avoid dealing with at all costs. although i dont think it will matter because its likely he wont show his face around here again

The Reason Why

Just finished a great purchase with Garryrg.

I bought Next off TTN.

I bought Hot Fuzz of Gino

Both discs (and Cases) were in mint as new condition. Packaging was rock solid. Delivery was within two days for each.

Highly recommended to trade with/buy from.

That's very bad form kamma (on steve's part, not yours).

I actually PM'd caniffe to ask if it was acceptable to include a negative feedback aspect to the thread, but he never responded

So at the moment I'm sticking to my original plan, playing it safe, and sticking to positive feedback.

i still like the idea of a trading points rating system that some forums have but not sure if this forum allows it

we've asked for this before, but the answer was no, which was why I created this thread.

All I'll say on this subject is that another well respected member recently PM'd me that he had some rather questionably dealings with SKG in the past and that as a consequence he would never deal with Steve again. This was over a fairly large financial transaction back in July. If I had known about this through a post on the Good Trader's thread I probably would've thought twice about handing over my money to Steve.

So I maintain my favour for a name and shame policy. It was me and a few other others who got burned on this occasion but there is no reason why it couldn't be the reader of this post next time round. And although it was only $50 I'm out of pocket and I'm not that cut up about it, it may be a $500 or $1,000 transaction next time around.

As I said before if you've got nothing to hide then you shouldn't have a problem with this concept. The accused will of course have their right of reply to defend their rep if necessary. As I mentioned before I wouldn't expect there to be a flood of negative feedback and claims of wrongdoing as 99.9% of members here do the right thing. And I don't see SKG or the organiser of the Onkyo GB frantically posting that they've had their reputations wrongfully besmirched.

It's just a shame there are a few bad eggs out there and they appear to have more rights than their potential/actual victims. Though I guess that is just a reflection of society and the legal system we have.

And whilst I'm here I'll add Gino as another terrific member to deal with. Was quite understanding when I stuffed up my payment. And that was genuine mistake...honest!

So having read all of the above guys what I now need you to do is see if as requested we can get a surname on him and secondly stand behind the matter going to the police, time to send a clear message

I can vouch for the fact (as can a certain ssingleton) that going to the police with contact details and detailed evidence can have good results.

I wish I knew. My previous discs sales to SKG were many months back and have since deleted the associated PMs a long time ago. I remember he wanted the discs mailed to a bird, presumably his partner, in Rouse Hill NSW iirc. I don't think he ever gave me his surname. I checked my bank records and all his direct deposits were marked SKG Productions. That's as about as much as I can contribute sorry.

Good luck with it though, however my feeling is that the horse has bolted on this one and that prevention is always far better than cure. But where there's life there's always hope I suppose.

Seems SKG is closing doors

09/11/2007 024201249 1 519G Notification of Application to Wind Up Company Under S. 459p, 462 or 464

A full company search will give his name and address.

Thanks Mo...I guess.

Sounds like Steve may have a few larger problems than some DTV boys on his @rse!

Actually I probably should be more indignant than I actually am. But to be honest it's pretty low on the aggravation meter for me personally. It's more the dissapointment of having to wait at least another three weeks to see Scarlett and The Island in HD, although I have a feeling this one will actually turn up this time.

Also I think I heard SKG may have moved house so that's why I'm pessimistic about a happy ending in this particular case. Of course I hope I'm wrong for everone's sake. Maybe someone does know something that help can track this renegade down, but I'm not holding my breath.

seeing as we paid our money into a company account could we not assume that when dealing with steve we were actually dealing with a representative from skg production and then go to the police with a company name?

guys, I am as pissed as you lot that you were ripped off.

but can we please take the discussion back to the other thread, just so that we can keep this one on track and reduce any change of it being scorched ?

I had a good trade with Pistol

Cheers mate!

As Andrew has suggested this is not the place, please take it here http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?s=&...st&p=849057

Excellent trade with D.G. - highly recommended - I bought a HD-A1 from him and the player was well packaged and he helped with a couple of problems I had with the setup. This is a great unit a little quirky but a great first generation machine, I'm very happy with it!

Thanks Mate,

Yann

Well done Yann, congrats D.G.

good trade with NTING...

Had a good trade with Gino.
My wife and daughter (and yes, me too ) love Harry Potter!

Thanks mate...although I don't remember what the smart touch was?? lol! bubblewrap maybe?

btw, just saw all these posts about SKG! I bought a PS3 from him awhile ago, paid him very quickly as he seemed to have a good reputation here. After that, he wasn't replying to my pms until he realized I was very annoyed...he did post it in the end (but he did not send me a few things he had promised - Casino Royale, downloaded games, some cables, etc). I pmed him asking about them but he never got back to me & I just let it go as I was relieved to have at at least received the PS3 (which I love btw)!!

Yep the bubblewrap, very smart idea

Got the 2 Bourne movies from AndrewW today, fast and in perfect condition!

Cheers mate,
Peter

I need to find some time to update the first post with the latest feedback, but at the request of quite a few people I have made one particular change to the first post.

See if you can spot it

mr SKG is gone............ :-)
what's my prize?????????????? hahahahah

well not gone completely, just moved

Yes good to see a "best to avoid" category now. Actually good is not the right word of course, but I think you know what I mean.

Reading you 5 by 5

Thanks andrewW, received the disc today. Not a scratch and well packaged!

Add yourself to the list again

Just like to say i had a great trade with Hambo2000, thank you very much.

i also like to thank TTN thankyou so much!

Had a good trade with Yann.

Thanks!
