Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
My husband and I are both middle aged and handicapped with MS. We thought we could make some extra money with selling items on ebay.

That first email from Joe Richey sounded so promising that in a matter of 3 days, we had sent him close to $1000 of our savings.

My husband ordered what he saw on Joe Richeys websight. He saw refurbished Sony, Canon, Kodak etc. He read that he would be sent whatever refurbished cameras they were finishing that day.

We recieved a box of new Vivitar cameras, what must be their lowest priced model. We have been watching them on ebay, some not even selling at auction, others priced by the sellers so low (.99) hoping to get their money back on the shipping.

Before those cameras arrived, he also bought Joe Richey's MYSTERY ENVELOPE WORTH $12,000, items from Joe Richey's warehouses.

Those items turned out to be 15 lbs of steak knives and 12 $1000 certificates to a websight where we could get products and just pay a small shipping fee. Those shipping fees are higher than the product.

I also got ripped off buying our own websight where we could sell the 10,000 products from Joe Richey's websight. All the products are so overpriced, nothing has sold. We thought we had our own store and our own dropshiper.

We have found out that this is one huge ripoff and we hope everyone will watch out for Joe Richey.

Just who in the hell do you suppose your are stacey? You post here over a few weeks and act as though you are trying to clean up Richies problems, well it can't be fixed, not as long as Richie is running that alleged company. I have spoken with him different times, and by e-mail and I'll disclose you one fact, he does not belong working with the public. Someone expresses anything about you Stacey and oh boy you are so swift to spring on them - Watch you'll do the same here when you read this post. in fact your actions are just like Joes, hhmmm well may now we see who you really are. Holly don't let her badger you, you are accurate in what you expressed and don't concern about Stacy's character, she needs to first go out and purchase some. I've read other post from her, and the same thing, if you make a comment about her, she hits back - JUST WATCH I really get a kick out of the fact some posters here are years old but Stacey writes a post and a few days later make a stupid comment like - "As of Today, Sunday July 30, 2006, I have received no complaints or responses to my offer. I will keep you updated." Years and Years of complaints and she EXPECTS people whom posted here to reply to her - GIVE ME A BREAK Please Stacey DON'T BOTHER! now lets see if you can hold back your temper and not be belligerent when someone here criticises your motives, when you reply to this post, lets see here.

Hi Holly, I just wanted to let you know that I am just trying to help out! I am sorry that you are angry, but I really don't appreciate the negativity and attempt to bash my character when I am just trying to help you. :) Even if its been 1 day, 2 months, or 2 years, we still value customers, and want to do everything in our power to satisfy those who feel they have been wronged. We stand by our company name and value our customers 100 percent. if you didn't matter to us, then we wouldn't even bother responding. Not many companies would bother coming on here to respond to what people post. Please keep that in mind. :) Have a great rest of your weekend! Thanks, Stacey

This customer wrote the complaint in October of 2005. You just started doing damage control for Joey Richey two days ago. It is July 2006. Do you think this could be the reason they haven't responded??? Get a clue. You're just as bad a Joey himself. He tries to blame everything on the customer, saying over and over that it's their fault cause they haven't contacted him. If you're so concerned about helping these customer, why don't you post your direct phone number? That way you don't have to waste any more time with emailing, replying, posting, etc etc. But you won't. That way you can just say you didn't get an email from the customer and Joey can continue scamming everyone. Have fun with all your replies here. I'm sure there will be plenty.

ANOTHER RIPOFF FROM WHOLESALE JOE, WHOLESABLE.COM,[email protected], there are so many websights. Before any of our products had arrived we ordered a"GREAT DEAL".For just $299, we could buy a 'MYSTERY PACKAGE THAT HAVE LOTS OF HIS MERCHANDISE..MAYBE EVEN A PRECIOUS GEMSTONE RING OR FINE LEATHER GOODS OR EVEN IPODS.He said it was all worth$1250 OLE'JOE'S PACKAGE ARRIVED THIS MORNING.IT CONTAINED 100 PAIR OF SUNGLASES AND A $250 GIFT CERTIFICATE plus another $1000 gift certificate at the sight where the shipping costs are higher than the "Free products".We are embarassed and just hope some law enforcement can put a stop to the lies and false advertising.THIS LOSS HURT US FINANCIALLY and I hope no one else falls for this man's scam
