Anybody deal with "bob from wisconsin"


Recommended Posts

Anybody deal with this idiot?

 

I get an email from this guy "bob from wisconsin" (metalhead@...) wanting to buy CDRs in bulk. He claims that he has 40,000 CDRs in his collection. He writes like a 10-year-old kid with horrible spelling and grammar. He says that he buys hundreds of CDRs a month.

 

I respond saying that I can help him but "I will not make copies of material that is still in print. Only material that is no longer in print in the U.S." Those are the standard terms I've used in my trading for years. If it's in print, BUY IT!

 

I then get a response that starts off as hello dan i know whom you are i am hoping you are not a prick like a lot of people say you are, then goes on to say i do buy copies of recent titles at 4-5 dollars a piece and if i am not good enough to sell to than let me know i will go else were ok

 

Mkay. This is bizarre on so many different levels:

  1. I've been out of the active trading scene for several years. Even so I'm unaware of *any* trades (originals or CDRs) that I was involved in that went badly... other than a few with Manny Comres, and those ended badly for me, not him. As far as I knew my trading/selling credentials were impeccable.
  2. I told him up front no new/recent/inprint titles, but apparently that is what he is after. Guy just can't take no for an answer.
  3. If I am such a prick like "a lot of people say I am", why the hell is he contacting me in the first place?
  4. "... not good enough to sell to" Wee bit paranoid, eh?

Sounds to me like I'm being scammed by a kid... or have other people dealt with this guy?

Sounds to me like you should delete, ignore, destroy this guy's e-mail address (after you've told him to quit bothering you of course!)

Sounds fishy to me... maybe like a set up or something....

It's been a long time since I've gotten one, but I used to get emails from this guy fairly regularly asking if he could buy a bunch of CD-Rs from me. I told him that I didn't sell CD-Rs, that I was only interested in trading CD-Rs of rare and OOP stuff. That was usually followed by a "I'm sorry I don't have time to burn and trade Cd-Rs" email, and he would then offer to pay VERY WELL for whatever CD-Rs I would burn for him. I usually just ignored/deleted once it got to that point.

Just got a followup email from him. I think I'm going to steer clear of the guy.

 

i have been in this collecting of cds for almost 18 years i have met a shit load of woantabees i got my collection the hard way i dont believe in kissing anbodys asses yes i can be a very very nice person but on the other hand i can be just as nasty as the next person dan i get tons of emails every day from plane and simple assholes out there that want free cds and art work i here that you are the worst of the worst i personaly hope that is not the case all i am asking is you treat me with respect and i will do the same and again i buy cds already i thought that mabe we could do business privately like i do with my guy and become good friends ???? please get back to me thanks bob

 

Eh? The last time I actively sought CDRs and artwork in trades was over 5 years ago, probably longer. I've only been interested in originals for a looooooooong time now. Methinks the guy has me confused with someone else.

 

:screwy:

If you are not able to determine where the email originated from.......I have two people in mind that it could be. I'll pm you......

 

The person's grammar and style sound like them.....

 

I used to get emails from 'George from Greece' all the time. I do not know a George from Greece but I have a very good idea who 'George' is....so I just ignore them.

looks like he still hasn't fixed that 'period' key on his keyboard...

 

 

and I thought he didn't believe in kissing ass? <_<

 

 

He doesn't appear to be terribly fond of capitalization or punctuation either.

 

I think that is the longest, most insane run-on sentence I've ever seen... it made me tired just to read it

Interesting trivia about Wisconsin:

 

Two of history's worst serial killers, Ed Gein and Jeffery Dahmer, were both Wisconsin natives.

 

Senator Joseph McCarthy, a crazed spittle emitting senator who instituted the anti-Commie witch hunts of the 1950s that ruined countless lives, represented Wisconsin.

 

Now we have "Bob," who is from Wisconsin.

 

What the hell is UP with them folks out there in Wisconsin? Is it something in the cheese???

 

Before anybody who might BE from Wisconsin takes offense, I have visited your lovely state several times and had a great trip every time. I'm just wondering. ;)

Ah, the art of insluting someone with an apology ;)

    • I can tell you that at the very least, there are people from FEMA working with some of the local businesses (my employer included) as far as looking at what aid is available to them. On the flip side, I've heard that one of the FEMA directors "got an attitude" with a few folks in the Asheville area and got popped in the mouth. I can't confirm that, just a story that's making the rounds. 
    • Glad you and yours are ok Mike. There's been a lot of buzz on social media about the LACK of response from FEMA and the current admin. Have you seen or heard anything on the ground one way or the other?
    • Not sure if anyone has noticed my absence over the last 10 days, but I've only been able to sign in a few times from work over the course of that period. As some of you may know, on Friday, September 27th, Hurricane Helene slammed into western North Carolina and absolutely devastated this area, leveling entire towns in its path. In my 52 years on this planet, I've never seen destruction like this with my own eyes.  While my home and property were spared any major problems, our road looked like a damn warzone with all the trees and powerlines down. We were literally trapped like rats in a maze for several days, as even though some good samaritans were able to cut their way through the downed trees so we could leave the neighborhood, all roads leading out of this area were closed off, either due to trees and lines down, or due to flooding.   I was out of work for six days, as my employer had no power. We had no power here at the house for 9 days, with it being restored late yesterday evening. We lost several hundred dollars worth of food that thawed out from our fridge and freezers. No hot water after day one, no cell signal for several days, no stores or restaurants open for several days... If it sounds like I'm complaining, I assure you, I am not. I am grateful. My family and friends are blessed, as we're all pretty much back up and running now. While there was some severe flooding here in Morganton just around two miles from my house, overall, it was MILD around here. Once you drive a mere 20 miles up the road to a little town called Old Fort in McDowell County, and everything west from there, it is exponentially worse. Huge chunks of Asheville under water, Chimney Rock literally wiped off the map, Spruce Pine damn near wiped away, small towns with no communication to the outside world with people struggling. It is BAD here in Western NC, and it's going to take a LONG time for things to get back to some semblance of normal for ALOT of people.  I just felt the need to post and let anyone who might have noticed I was MIA that I am fine, but that alot of good people are not. Please keep western North Carolina in your thoughts and prayers, and if that's not your thing, drink one for all of us tonight. Here are a few links that I've shared over the last week on FB that show the devastation around here... https://fb.watch/v331QebVRJ/ https://www.facebook.com/100067755911039/videos/1069274148086583/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ER9b6tv8oj84QuWb/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/9MpnKZUAx4m5oy3y/ All these aerial shots are from around 1-2 miles from my house: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/vux5WpAqeMDcNMhS/ https://fb.watch/v33x13dnTf/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/V6RPz7HiiMhrBsfn/ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vvEuMCm7We6fitZ9/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/jE1utxkfNLeKEM9S/ Park Rangers in Chimney Rock managed to get the flag raised up again...  
    • I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.  
    • So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin
    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
    • I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try.
