Man what a story, this kid mike walker...jeez. heres my email chats with this guy. Anyone who got ripped off wanna do a class action lawsuit against him I want this guy bad.

check out these responses when i inquire. This is customer service, this kid needs some physical contact to straighten him out.

MIke-

if you ordered a PS2 we are out, and it mistaklinly sold it to you. if an Xbox used we had it. the PS2 will be available next week.

then

It might be a little later than that. Maybe!

then

WE ran out of used ones. Remember, they are shipping when they came in.. you can upgrade to a new one for $50 send $50 for a brand new one.. WE can ship that on Monday, I'll send a paypal request..

then

You can cancel the order, however there is a 50% restock Fee, since it is on order and we have by law 30 days to get it to you.

You did not get full refund..

And NO ONE promised you a machine for Christmas, you are the only one to blame for missing Christmas for your Son. We stated our policy clear to you, and ordering a 4 days and at 8:00 pm so that left only 3 days before Christmas never works for anyone, and we state that you should check stock before you order to make sure we have them in stock.

Plus you live in California, even if we did have it it would have not made it.

then

WE are fair, yes we are suppose to get them in, but what happens is the shortage is on, and right now everything is hard o get into stock, we have them on order, just that they come when they come, first come first serve.

then i emailed him a link showing him what bad things are being said on the rip off reports about him...

When you want to find something bad on anyone that does business you can on the internet, other has more complains than we do, the service industry and sellers always have problems with people when they do not get their way.

We did nothing wrong, you failed to read our polices. is all.

Some of that is from people like you that do not read our rules, then get mad at us and write frivolous reports, then we sue people for Libel if we catch them.

Anyway that is from only a few people, we have been in business from 1993, and we have many happy customers, read the reviews on our site.

We will take your cancellation as you requested and refund you the %50, you are obviously looking for a reason to make trouble. WE cannot work with threatening customers like you.

We are doing our best and did nothing wrong, our polices are clear and understandable and you agreed to them. By making the order..

then

The last guy who wrote a report on me, I bought his airplane plans, see it says airplane owners unite!!! He ripped me off, so I complained to the BBB and then he started to write complains on me???

When he took my money and never gave up the airplane plans never believe what you read on the internet, when people do not get their way they have a bad habit of lying stating they got ripped off..

Most of them are kids. or I canceled their order and took our fees then they state we ripped them off.

then

Here's my review of them, but mine is truthful..

http://www.resellerratings.com/seller9121.html

then after he knew i was on to him i get this email

We will be shipping your used unit on Monday! We found a unit we had here in the shop modified with the new Duo2SE

then on monday i dont get an email from him with a tracking # so i email again telling him i am just gonna do a chargeback on my credit card cause he didnt email and tell me he sent it like he said he was gonna.

If you threaten me again with a credit card chargeback I will cancel your order and charge you the 50 % cancellation fee, and if you still charge me back I will file a credit report on you.. for the full amount due. And it will remain there until you pay me. On your credit report.

You agreed to my terms by contract period. I never said it was going to take 30 days..

It did not make it today as it is in testing..

then i told him we will settle one way or another that i dont like to be ripped off.

(he says)There's nothing to settle, you just let the agreement go on as it stands. And do not threaten us ever again. Then things will be fine, we do not take kindly to people who threaten us with the credit card chargeback type of threat.

We accepted you credit card as a favor, using a credit card with us is not a right, it is a privilege. And it is not to be miss used.

We can refund your card, and make you pay cash. if we want to.

and it is still going on, I ordered my ps2 on dec 23 it is now jan 10 2005.

this guy is bad news, if i get to meet him on the streets, what a treat that will be, ( i will film it for all you guys lol)

PAYBACK IS A b***h

Walker you wingnut!!! You need to spend time in prison because your site snares people into believing you run an honest business!

Walker, you have the gall to file a rebuttal and then file something else in the 3rd person suggesting you are an honest businessman! Dude, your horrible spelling is a dead giveaway when it's you trying to convince readers someone else is writing nice things about you. Grow up already will you? You need a reality check man! You need to spend time in prison because your site snares people into believing you run an honest business! I wish to God law enforcement in your town would get off their a*s and put you in prison once and for all. How many people do you need to screw over before that happens? It sounds like I should move to Chippewa Falls so I can screw people over and get away with it.

Customer is Mad because we refused his order

Customer never read the policy, He did not check stock before he ordered. He also ordered 4 days before christmas and expected on christmas. Here is what he wrote, Hurry Hurry Hurry it is a christmas present.. 4 Days before Christmas, do it UPS it is MAD cheaper, (Not our Typo) I work for the post office. This guy got on us because he did not get it in time and we had 30 orders for units already in place.. As Best buy classifies this person a Demon Customer. He got all of his money back, We recaleld his shipment because he was such a jerk about things and did a chargeback on our paypal. Then he Posted this about us? Making demands as if he was God with the Credit card. We do not tolerate Chargeback threats, especially if we are in teh right, read our policy's and he agreed to them by palcing the check mark on the shopping cart. We are now seeking legal action for Libel againest this man for posting here, we will sue him in small claims court because he agreed to that on our web site chargebacks are againest our policy, you cannot just order 4 days before christmas and expect to get it..without checking on stock, he agreed to check stock when he placed teh order and agreed to our policys by checking a box.

Good Testimonial from Customer

I just wanted to let you know that I received my PS2 yesterday, and it works great. Thank you very much! I had looked all over trying to find someone that would repair it for me. Not only were you the cheapest, but it didn't take you very long to do it either. I apologize for emailing you more than I should have, I'm just really leary of doing business over the internet. You have proven yourself as an honest online dealer to me, and hope to send some business your way soon. I will tell all of my co-workers that are looking to get chips put in their PS2's to send them to you. Thanks again for fixing mine.

Do the chargeback & ignore his threats

Contrary to Walker's comment that credit card use is a privilege, once you earn the privilege from a bank, you have the RIGHT to use it anywhere the card is accepted. If Walker accepts credit cards, he must abide by a merchant agreement with the payment provider. Remember, look at the other ripoffreports - - he has filed for bankruptcy as dba VDO Specialties. Taking him to small claims court may easily protect him but that could be a formality the court would overlook. Chapter 7 liquidation means just that - Going out of business, not restructuring as in Chapter 11. My advice, do the chargeback and ignore his threats. He can not sue you for libel in small claims court (not that you did libel anyway) and should your credit card company agree on a chargeback and he still sues you in his home state, you can write to his court and explain breach of contract by Walker as your credit card company agrees with your explanation of the events. Let him sue you for nothing. It's his best scare tactic so let him lose all the money he wants on filing fees. Here's a great site for your info: http://www.nolo.com/article.cfm/objectID/F7B3C51B-AABD-4D28-861391F9F7AEC45B/104/284/205/ART/ Here's a picture of "Top Gun" Walker himself should you need to ID him: http://www.mikewalker.com/images/00640001.JPG and no he's not an attorney, an academic attorney, law student, etc. He bought a book on law, read a few pages and has delusions of grandeur. Do yourself a favor and get your money back ASAP. You will never see anything from this guy other than emails trying to stall you!
