No bother, is tomorrow at twelve okay. PM me your number and I will give you a call in the morning. I will mark the disks for you.

Hold on a second... we were talking about these on Adverts and you eventually never got back to me. I said we could just save the hassle and you could post them out to me at my expense.

GoodGuyGreg here... did you just give up on me or something? I still really need that Shenmue 1 disc 1.

Just to clarify I wasn't giving anyone the run around... we don't live or work anywhere near eachother and kept trying to meet up with eachother, I eventually just asked you to post them to me at my expense and tried to get you the money via both paypal and bank transfer, both of which you denied.

I then agreed to send you a postal order and you never got back to me.

Hi, I think it would be best for both of us. I will post it all in for 5 euro including the disk. I think the distance is making a meeting akward and don't want to charge you extra for postage. If you want to send me a postal order my details are.

Both of which I don't accept and never accepted check the original ad.

No you wanted to do a bank transfer after I told you I wanted a postal order.
That was on the 6th August it's now the 19th. You had my details since the 5th , I did tell you I would hold the disks until you got a postal order. 13 days have passed since then and this led me to believe you never sent one and never intended to send one.
If you wanted the disk you should have sent the postal order as I requested.

Seeing as the posts are public I'll make this public too.
Achilles and Monkeykube, if you have a dispute deal with through the proper channels. If you have a difference of opinions on an adverts.ie matter deal with it there, with the moderators.
This is not the forum for it in any way and it's not on.
Monkeykube, I understand you are responding to an accusation but this isn't the place.
Achilles you have been around these boards long enough to know better than to air a grievance of this nature here.
Keep within the rules or there will be bans forthcoming.

Your final message to me:

From: MonkeyKube | 06 August 2012 - 01:31 am
RE: Shenmue 1 + 2 INCOMPLETE Sega Dreamcast
No, I had a bad experience with ebay and a buyer in Italy they refunded his money although he got his games.
So after that I would be reluctant to sign up again. I will hold the disk for you as long as you want to allow you
to get a postal order. thanks. Richie

My last message to you:

To: MonkeyKube | 06 August 2012 - 01:43 am
RE: Shenmue 1 + 2 INCOMPLETE Sega Dreamcast

Ahh yeah those damn Italians... they complain about those guys alot on the gaming forum.

Alright postal order it is... although I could probably do a bank transfer just as easily? What do you reckon?

After that I didn't get a reply from you with neither an address to send a postal order or bank draft to, not an answer to my question about bank transfer. I was waiting for you to reply to me as I thought that you were just busy, it would have been nice if you had even sent me a message saying 'Mate I think you're messing me around, the deal's off'. Even though I wasn't... I still need that Shenmue disc.

Right let's just put it down to a miscommunication, you're giving the discs to Sparks now for free and that's grand... any chance I can pick up that spare Mega Drive controller off you?

Just saw this after what I posted. There's not much point going through adverts now that the ads have been withdrawn (something I thought that he did as Shenmue was technically *sold*).

Monkeykube if you wanna take this to PM then that's grand, I actually really would like to resolve this with you.

CiDeRmAn · 19-08-2012 5:00pm

Not
Another
Mention
Of the ad here from either of you.

MrVestek · 19-08-2012 5:02pm

So I hear everyone's favourite game these days is Play House with Barbie? :P

Yeah no bother, if you want the shenmue 2 disks you can take them too or all of the megadrive stuff that you want. I'm moving away from the megadrive so if you or somebody you know can get use from them you can pass them around. I'm not going to fall out with somebody over a stupid disk and make this offer this as a gesture.
ps. you have to take fifa, no excuses you already have it.;)

Good man yerself! :-)

I wouldn't want Sparks to be out of a deal though so I'll let him have first refusal on the disks if you don't mind?

I'll take all the mega drive stuff off your hands if it's going, I'm sure I can get some use out of it... I'll even take Fifa off your hands. ;-)

He collected them already he took Shemue but I still have the Shenmue 2 disks
Disk 1&2 inlay and manual if there any good to you. PM your number and I will give you a call tomorrow to sort out collection. I think we better leave it here before Ciderman starts swinging the hammer.

CiDeRmAn · 19-08-2012 5:40pm

I have to say lads, you're pushing it.
I asked you not to discuss it further here.
I don't care if you have come to an amical agreement,
I didn't want it discussed further and you did it anyway.
Glad you seem to find it amusing though.

Sparks43 · 19-08-2012 7:17pm

On an unrelated note i picked up a copy of Shenmue for the Dc today

Missing the last disc but nothing a blank Cd cant solve:D

Thanks Monkeykube;)

unky chop chop · 19-08-2012 7:20pm

I can't find "What you playing at the moment thread" so posting here.
Has it disappeared?

Anyway playing Spelunky today on XBLA.
Actually a great game but hard as sh1t. Kinda a mixture of boulder dash and some Indiana Jones imitation game I played years ago. Cartoon type character platformer...I thought it had DARE in the title but Can't find it with Mr Google...anyone?

I Just read a review about Spelunky that compared it to Dark Souls.
So true,It's f**ckin driving me mad but has excellent game mechanics that keep you coming back for more, death after death,after death

What the hell have they done to Arcade Otaku? Mine eyes!

I wish people would stop trying to change how forums look!

Now, have to attempt to navigate the user CP to change it back.

Ffs it's horrible, displays arseways on the phone now too. Let me know if you find a way of changing it back, I didn't see any skin option.

o1s1n · 19-08-2012 9:07pm

I got it back. Go to user control panel/Board Preferences/change it back to Astro city skin.

the groutch · 19-08-2012 10:55pm

that's exactly how I feel about the new boards layout

o1s1n · 19-08-2012 10:57pm

I can't stand it either. Makes boards look like a phone app.

Professey Chin · 19-08-2012 10:58pm

Im sticking with the old boards beta. New one is just wasted space everywhere and a big piss irritating bar. I know you can turn off the bar but then you lose the constant forum menus too

Sparks43 · 19-08-2012 11:12pm
