Hey all, so I picked up games from this site for $50 shipped.

Now I paid with paypal and confirmed that the owner is verified, but since I have never heard of this site I am skeptical on whether they will deliver. Because I paid with paypal I know Im protected, so I will follow up when/if I get my games.

Just spoke to some guys on shout and I figure I'd make a thread and keep you guys posted.

Some crazy prices...

Hmmm.. Interesting...

Zeon · 01/21/2009, 12:41 AM

Yeah some of the prices are outrageous (Castlevania III $60.00, and all of their dreamcast games

) and others are a downright steal (lunar silver start story for sega cd $10, some of the turbo grafx titles,

). Seems like a mom and pop store that has no clue on the values of most games.

In either case I made an order with them, if they screw up I can just complain to paypal. I will keep you all posted as well.

geise · 01/21/2009, 08:50 AM

Wow...$100 for Panzer Dragoon? Not Zwei! or Saga? Crazy! Someone should hop on those Shockman and Hero Tonma games.

Press_Run · 01/21/2009, 12:28 PM

Dam and me with my paypal wallet full of butterflies. Luckily, I had enough to buy one item yet strangely it wasn't removed from the listingafter my purchase. Does that mean they have more than one?

MotherGunner · 01/21/2009, 12:48 PM

No clue, but I did call and it was an answering machine that doesnt even ID itself as gameonman.com.

So if I dont get a reply to my emails today or tomrrow I am gonna start thinking twice...

hoobs88 · 01/21/2009, 02:11 PM

I think it is an old site that was never updated. Check the details of your Paypal transaction and if they still haven't claimed your money, you can withdraw it as if it never happened.

MotherGunner · 01/21/2009, 02:54 PM

It shows as "completed" so they did accept it.

Zeon · 01/21/2009, 02:59 PM

I got a receipt from them today in my inbox. So far so good. I thought about that Tonma, but I wanted New Adventure Island more, I got that and a pretty much complete copies of E.V.O. and Pocky and Rocky for snes.

MotherGunner · 01/21/2009, 03:07 PM

Did you get the paypal receipt? Or a receipt from gameonman.com?

Mobius · 01/21/2009, 03:35 PM

Well, if all goes well, I'll probably get Shockman and Tonma... Nobody snipe them from me!

BTW, MotherGunner, when did you buy your games? How long has it been?

Paid for them last night. But havent received any emails other than the paypal receipt

MotherGunner · 01/21/2009, 04:16 PM

So the site says Idaho (208 area code), but when I do a phone search it comes up with Seattle. I called 208-339-4869 hoping it was a typo and its an automotive garage. This is getting fishier by the minute.

jperryss · 01/21/2009, 05:37 PM

I called 206-339-4869 and got a generic voice recording from what sounds like an answering machine/fax combo (I guess).

When I ordered, I got an 'AgoraCart Shopping Receipt' email from sales@gameonman.com. Also got the PayPal receipt.

So yeah, whoever gets their stuff please post here!

jperryss · 01/21/2009, 05:48 PM

And since I'm starting to get a bit anxious...

A Google search for VERYMEABC (the company name that showed up on the PP receipt) came up with an Elizabeth located in ID. The PayPal receipt says Elizabeth Gann, gotta be the same person right?

http://www.myspace.com/verymeabc

Looks like this is her eBay page, 100% feedback but nothing since May 08:

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=verymeabc&ftab=AllFeedback&myworld=true&seeallfeedback=See%20All%20Feedback

I didn't find anything worth mentioning when searching for her by name.

Check your spam folder MotherGunner, that's where my reciept from the place it self, not paypal, went.

MotherGunner · 01/21/2009, 09:42 PM

Damn, I hope Elizabeth is not dead....

Zeon, I did search my spam folder, and nothing. Either way I left a phone message and sent multiple emails, if I dont hear from her on the 8th day, I will start a resolution with Paypal.

I got a receipt for it too. It was in my spam folder... Maybe give it a week or two to see what happens. You'll still have plenty of time to start a paypal dispute/resolution.

Sparky · 01/21/2009, 11:25 PM

well if this works out for you guys.. there will be some crazy happy times here!!!... & then that site will be milked till she can give no more!!! <<fingers crossed for ya's>>

MotherGunner · 01/21/2009, 11:55 PM

Found the second receipt, it was hidden in my outlook spam folder. Damn using AOL through outlook!

Agreed, let's see what happens. The only other game I would (maybe) want on there is probably samurai ghost and the imposter Lords of thunder for Sega CD. (Just cuz I have a CDX)

MotherGunner · 01/22/2009, 12:08 PM

Okay I got a response to my email from Elizabeth herself:

Hello,
Yes my store is legit. I needed a message phone number for this venture but we don't have free numbers in our area. So the only one I was able to get was a Seattle WA number. Although I do need to work on my store a bit. Going through some personal trials at the moment and haven't had the time.

If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Andersen Gann

Press_Run · 01/22/2009, 06:57 PM

So she lives!

What a relief!

But I'm worried if she has enough to meet everyone's orders as there's a good chance multiple orders were made for the same game. I just she has extras.

Quote from: MotherGunner on 01/22/2009, 12:08 PMOkay I got a response to my email from Elizabeth herself...

After my original order I noticed the CIB Soul Blazer for $13 so I sent an email asking if I could add to the order to save on shipping. I got a reply finally (today):
"Nope it isn't too late to add to your order. If you go ahead and order what you want, when I package up items for shipment this weekend, I will refund the excess shipping charges."

And like others have said, the stuff I ordered is still listed on the page. Judging by the way the rest of this site is set up (no logins even?) I suspect they're just not tracking items properly. Everything I ordered was probably sold out already.

So I guess we'll find out, but it sounds like nothing is being shipped out until at least the weekend.

Also, the prices really are all over the place. $30 for the original SF2, $54 for Super Mario All-Stars?

MotherGunner · 01/22/2009, 07:51 PM

Yea its a mom and pop. for the record I ordered impossamole and neutopia II.

This will be interesting to see, for I already ordered New Adventure Island, we will see if she does indeed have dupes.

Clairty...
If don't know already, some on here have made orders from this website with 99.9999% chance ordering the same game. Haven't heard a word or e-mail from her for order yet and waiting for MotherGunner to update on inventory as I fear she lack multiple item, unable to fulfill everyone's requests.

hoobs88 · 01/26/2009, 12:07 AM

I just got this email from the seller:

Hello,
When processing orders, I am sorry to say that all the games in this order were purchased just before you placed your order. My shopping cart does not allow for inventory control and therefore tried to sell the same game. So I am refunding your money. I am sorry for any inconvenience that this has caused you.

Please know that it is in the plans to rectify this situation as soon as I am able to.
Elizabeth

MotherGunner · 01/26/2009, 12:14 AM

Damn, sorry Hoobs what did you order?

So far so good...looks like I get my Neutopia II and Impossamole...

I ordered Impossamole (I already have the game but I wanted the stickers to make it complete), Legend of Hero Tonma, and New Adventure Island.

MotherGunner · 01/26/2009, 12:22 AM

So no more Hero, Impossamole, or New Adventure Island. I wonder is she has more Samurai Ghosts...

Press_Run · 01/26/2009, 12:36 AM

Hmmm....I order New Adventure Island too and didn't get an e-mail stating otherwise or the latter. Nor did I e-mail with tracking information, I guess Postal Office closed for the weekend might have something to do with it. Either way, I should get an answer pretty soon.

hoobs88 · 01/26/2009, 12:44 AM

There were 18 Turbo Grafx titles when I placed my order and there are currently 11 available now. She must have updated the site recently.

Mother Gunner, kudos for finding the site. I'm glad some of our community is scooping up these deals rather than getting price gouged by PompeyParsons.

Yep, you got it. She emailed me letting me know I was being refunded due to the fact that her cart system does not handle inventory control.

Grats!

Yeah, Actraiser is usually fairly cheap but I've yet to find a decent price on SoulBlazer. Not looking for complete copies either.

Addendum, got another email from Elizabeth, btw whoever wants that shockman get it now. she just updated her whole site and removed items. I would get it but I own it already. Sadly, Samurai ghost is gone..

I will take pics and post as soon as get the package.

Hello,
I wanted to thank you for ordering from us. Due to a life changing situation, processing and the ability to communicate in a timely fashion has been greatly affected. I hope that you understand.

Also I wanted to let you know that your order is packaged and ready to go out in tomorrows mail. I hope you enjoy your games.

Press_Run · 01/27/2009, 12:09 AM

Just got my Dear John letter recently and properly refunded. So no harm, no foul.

Hope no one order Shockman, cause I already made an order for it.

You lucked out Mother Gunner and whoever got Adventure Island and Samurai Ghost. (Cause they really were a bargain.
