3.) Is his name really 'Lonnie Holdaway'......? I would be surprised if it is, as this is an easy case to prosecute and it wouldn't take much to find him. There are phone records and physical adresses.....a trail.....

Well, seems there is a person called Lonnie Holdaway in Blytheville, AR. There is an info on classmates.com he attended high school there in 1984-1988 which sounds about correct age.

Also, this link: http://fuelmypain.com/modules.php?name=New...e=article&sid=3 , there is a "contact Lonnie" link in the text someplace in mid-page, which links to his e-mail address (lrc72315@sbcglobal.net).

It is not clear from the page if this is a past, or upcoming event (there is a copyright©1998 note at the end, but it could indicate the establisment for this online service). In any case there are some phone #s in the bottom of the page that can be followed.

Just got off the phone with another friend in the industry who contacted Kelly Hansen about these reissues: He'd never heard of them.

 

Looks like it's all bogus, folks.

Oh well, in this case all hats off to Lon - this is the most carefully planned cone I've ever seen... never saw it coming

There was no wreck, there was no hospital...there is however a knife in a lot of people's back.

I understand and I have seen Lon/David logged in twice today already without leaving a posting, but still it is hard for me to accept this was a cold planned rip-off of such massive proportions... Yes, I admit all of the facts point so, but who in their right state of mind would rip-off people, many of which regard him as a friend, know his home address and have been talking to him on the phone etc. Just doesnt sound right to me - I'm not defending anyone at all, just trying to see any logic behind this...

OMG, this is not real! My heart goes to Lon (if he is in hospital), or to everyone who got burned...

David or Lon, come on men, straighten things up! I know there should be a logical explanation to this...

Just wanted to add staryder1 to this list. Solid, trustworthy guy...thanks & enjoy the cd!

I second that, staryder1 is the man!

Got the same disturbing e-mail from Georg... confusing news indeed! Hope everything will sort out soon to the best extend possible for everyone...

Indeed, first two albums were anything but thrash. That's probably why I have problems considering them thrash band overall.

O yeah! I forgot CORONER too, but R.I.P. and Punishment for Decadence come first on my list.

Regarding Laaz Rockit - not a bad band, but I never really considered them thrash - more like a power outfit. Although with Annihilation Principle they almost got into thrash waters...

I got lost here. Are those $40 Widows original Japan pressing as proclaimed, or some sort of re-issues?

This is hard! In no particular order from top of my head on the moment:

INFERNAL MAJESTY - None Shall Defy

ANACRUSIS - Manic Impressions

DESTRUCTION - Release From Agony

MEKONG DELTA - Mekong delta

SABBAT - Dreamweaver

KREATOR - Pleasure to Kill

HOLY MOSES - The New Machine of Liechtenstein

FORBIDDEN - Forbidden Evil

TARGET - Mission Executed

EXUMER - Possessed By Fire

S.D.I. - Sign of the Wicked

TANKARD - Chemical Invasion

PARADOX - Product of Imagination

VENDETTA - Go and Live... Stay and die!

LIVING DEATH - Vengeance of Hell

ARTILLERY - By Inheritance

nitromusic sells Russian CDs yes. If you read his auction near the end it is written "THE CD IS BRANDNEW EAST EUROPEAN IMPORT CD"

I think someone here stated earlier that they receive payments in UK, but the CDs ship out from Moscow. I'm not sure if it was for this particualr seller though, better do a forum search and check it out.

So refund him and dont send anything.

 

That will just result in negative feedback being left from the

Priovided that in 99% of the cases Barf-whine get's NARUed within a week I'd not worry for the feedback.

It will be removed automatically after his current incarnation is gone.

Refunding him ASAP is vital, else he will drag you into dispute, guaranteed.

Well I guess my problem is, isnt Buy It Now just that???

Nope, BIN is just an option letting the buyer to win an auction instantly without bidding, but then he can pay at his leisure. If you want to ensure to get instant payment you have to use "instant paypal payment required" option.

So refund him and dont send anything.

I thought Jason was addicted to midget porn. When did he get hooked on platypus semen? Was the midget porn his "gateway drug" to the harder stuff? (Pun not intended, I swear)

It's probably a mere coincidence, but I just got an e-mail with the subject "Attack Of The Monster Midget With A 10 Inch Cock" ...spooky

I'm not sure what exactly the problem was, but in case you dont want to wait on a buyer to pay, next time just use the "immediate paypal payment required" option.

It's a huge difference in investment. 100 titles for $300 or 1,000 for $1300. Doesn't sound like much difference right?

Yeah, but at retail price of $12.99 you need to sell only 100 CDs to completely offset the production cost for replicating, and still will have 900 CDs left to make profit from. While on duplicating you have to sell 1/4 of the entire run to cover the production cost alone.

This is very crude calculation without considering any other costs and expenses of course, but still I think replication is the correct option for any title with a potential of selling over 200 CDs (Lorraine can easily fall into this category with some promotion).

I can tell you've been living in America for a long time with that kind of baseless optimism.

Always looking on the bright side of life, that's me, yeah

To me, it would make no sense not to go pick up the auctions I won from Sam... It's a no-brainner.

A win ~ win situation.

That wasnt the point of my argument at all, but I agree with you anyway and thank you for taking your time responding to my posting

Hey, I'm just giving him a very valid reason to apologise. It's up to him if he will do it or not.

Sam, I have been very open minded about you because I am not perfect and no one else is. But the comments were way too broad. If you have a problem with a person in particular it doesn't mean the whole race is "typical". It would really show some class if you would apologize.

 

JL

I personally dont need Sam's apologies, but would be nice to see him offering them to ashen light and all Russians in general. If he doesnt want to do it personally to the people involved here, he may do it out of respect to the nation which is one of his major suppliers for his sales.

And just to clarify one thing known to many on this forum already - I'm not a Russian. I'm Bulgarian.

My thumb is curled into my palm, my pinky and index fingers are raised and my two middle fingers are crossed together so my hand looks like a big W. That's how real I am.

If you had any sense in your shit-for-brains you'd recognize his bidding patterns are for completely different cd's every week. And if you see that he has won a cd and is bidding on another then thats his buddy - their names are Billy and Allen and they both work in casinos here.

That's very sweet, but once I've seen him/them bidding on 5 consecutive acuctions of the same title. And it wasnt like they were buying them cheaper and cheaper you know... and where is the logic of coming in person to your office to pick their CDs and not buy everything they need directly from you, and not for the crazy prices they often end on eBay?

Anyway, I'll just ask you this: why did you suddenly stop leaving it/him/them feeback an year ago exactly at the time when this issue was brough for the first time here, eh? If they ARE real customers they do deserve the feedback, dont you think? ...actually, nevermind, this won't lead to anything positive as usual, case closed!

Sheesh...where the hell did THAT come from?!?!

This came obviously bacause obsidian-blade is one buyer who bid (and still does) only on vegascds auctions. Nuff said.

Frederico, you should have saved him the hassle by posting your home address here
