Problem on a trade with SUE MAPLES read and advise? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Lamont · 10-17-2005, 01:34 PM

OK well Where to start, about 3 or 4 months ago, SUE MAPLES the infamous one from all the bad posts emailed me and said that it was not really her that got the bad posts, but her soon to be ex sis in law, and this and that---- long and drawn out story----
ok we set up a swap, but i told her ONLY if she sent first, and i checked em out first then i woudl send

swap was DIFFRENT STROKES complete, CLUELESS the series complete, and a few odds and ins, like 4 discs of partial eps
then id send her BJ AND BEAR, ARHCHIE BUNKERS PLACE and some MAMAS FAMILY eps

ok well about a month or so went by, and finally i got a box, BUT about 50-60 % of hte discs DID NOT WORK, they were either, CORRUPT and wouldnt load, or they had JUST TITLES on them, but no data, and it was a total mess
over 1/2 of them wouldnt even load or read! I didnt even bother to check out quality and completeness of the others as i was so ticked off-- i mean bad burns happen, but 1/2 of them????/

so i emailed her and she said she would fix them at once, another month later i got SOME OF THE DISCS redone, but not all---- ok i just tossed them in the box with the bad ones and waited for the rest.... a week or 2 later, she emails me asking me AGAIN what eps are supposed to be on the bad discs, so once again i send her the list

weeks later.... no email replies, as she has a virus or some other computer problem she says, finaly today i get another package-- i check the discs and notice that 2 are STILL CORRUPT WONT LOAD AT ALL, and u can look at the burned side and tell it is a bad discs, she didnt even check them AGAIN!

ALSO she told me 1/2 way through the trade that STROKES was actually not complete, but missing some eps, I said ok, jsut so its decent set!

AND i decided to go ahead and check the quality, well CLUELESS is decent and useable, DIFFRENT STROKES is reallll bad, 5 or so of 10 some might call it a weak 6, some eps are even worse, below a 5, BUT NOT the 7 - 7.5 described, it looks like 5th generation vhs tapes, a mess!

I KNOW ANOTHER GOOD TRADER ON THIS SITE got the same set, and i wont name them, but they know the DIFFRENT STROKES was bad also!

So now, what do i do, i would like to keep CLUELESS but its taken months, and now MORE strokes are still bad, and i didnt even check all of them yet to see how many more are corrupt! Should i send STROKES BACK and trade even # of discs for clueless?

I know she is on the baddest of the bad traders list, but i still want to be fair here--- it is just this is the 3rd package on 1 trade and its in the 4th month now, and STILL NOT DONE!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would be my suggestion. And tell her the deal is done & over with. (IOW not to send you anything more & she will not receive anything more...since it's taken so long & multiple shipments...)

Michael Randazzo · 10-17-2005, 02:04 PM

Send them all back and move on, it's not worth the hassel or grief to make it right. Mail her her stuff back, you did nothing wrong you are out sometime and a little for the postage. God Bless

Lamont · 10-17-2005, 02:06 PM

is that i let it go on 4 months almost
and she didnt even bother to see if what she sent me loaded, AFTER SHE SENT ME 1 bad batch allready!

loren · 10-17-2005, 02:09 PM

i was the person who got a set from this person to begin with, and returned it due to being just plain awful

once again the rule about the unknown trader sending first has proven a good plan

she claims to not be the notorious scammer and poor trader that shes blamed to be

i seriously dont care if she was or not,

the fact remains that she has proven to be a poor trader on this name, and should be avoided--even if she is or isnt the person with all the negative comments

i gave her every chance to make a decent swap, and she failed, and then failed with rob as well.

there are plenty of decent folks to swap with, this one is just a waste of effort to even try

Yup, sounds like Pam Maples. She tells a long story and works hard at confusing her victims.

Yes! Keep them, and send her the exact number of discs of Clueless only! Get something out of the deal, instead of plain aggravation from all of her lies.

No, unless she's willing to pay for the return shipping, don't send them back on your dollar. You do not have to prove anything to her, of all people.

i paid to send her items back, but i did use a few discs, that were fillers for a set--they were decent, so i sent back her stuff, plus far more discs than i owed her for the partials trade

but had there not been something to use, i would not have paid the return postage

i have a few times had things that were not as promised--incomplete--poor quality--etc, that i ahve just emailed and said

heres the reason its not as promised

and if you want it back, send me the $ 4.30 postage and illr eturn it

or it goes in the trash

thats not very popular, and i only do it in the case of utter lack of things being correct and not being able to be fixed

in this case, the different strokes couldnt be fixed, no matter what

a no win situation

Lamont · 10-17-2005, 03:36 PM

i tried really hard with this one guys
i mean, i waited and waited and waited
and even when i got 50% bad discs i was still nice
and then i get redos that are also bad discs
ridiculous
i guess i will wait to hear a reply from her and proceed from that

Agent 13 · 10-17-2005, 04:17 PM

Most of us have dealt with Pam Maples (or one of her aliases). We all hear ya, so you don't really have to worry about any of us siding against you.

Do what is "fair" and no more.

Collinwood2003 · 10-17-2005, 05:36 PM

I have that same different strokes set also and it is not complete and it is not good quality.

Lamont · 10-17-2005, 06:14 PM

Well i emailed SUE MAPLES about the problems and she got an attitude with me

implying that i am lying about the quality and about the bad discs

here are her replies

"checked in
a Zenith DVD player and a Magnavox and they played fine. Also, you've had
alot of the Strokes DVD's from the first package, why did you want th
eothers if the quality is a 5 out of 10 as you say? Why did you want the
rest? Just curious.
I'm just a little upset here because no one else has had a problem with any
discs of mine recently except you, maybe you could check on your computer or
another DVD player maybe?"

NO SUE-- my equipment is fine, I OFFERED TO SEND THESE stacks of bad discs to one of the moderators if she wanted, so they could verify that the stuff just doesnt work at all!!!!
As for the quality-- PERHAPS LOREN and COLLINWOOD would like to comment on the great, 7.5 of 10 STROKES set that we were all sent????????

I didnt bother to check them for quality or against an episode guide until i got the rest of them, b/c it is a waste of time, since 1/2 didnt work and i had no idea if she would ever send the rest or not, so i checked em when i got the redos,

THEN SHE WRITES

"Thats great. Post somewhere where I was banned from for no reason but having
Bellsouth insternet service so I can't state my side of the story. This
package of DVD's was checked in 2 players of mine and they worked FINE. Just
let me know which "doesn't" work so I can do some more discs for you and
I'll ship them out Friday if there's more than those 2. I'm just ready to
get this over with. I'd did 2 strokes sets and 2 Clueless sets for you plus
the extra Mr Belvedere you decided you wanted at the last minute also."

SO i posted HER SIDE OF THE STORY, i also pointed out that she is NOT banned "FOR NO REASON" and refered her to the many, many, many bad trader posts!!!!!

I am not a jerk, i promise and i have tried to work with this person

BUT i think it is really messed up for her to get an attitude with me, when she is 100% in the wrong here!

Lamont · 10-17-2005, 06:23 PM

sue maples aka 1000 aliases

momofhayley@hotmail.com

she jumped all over me for posting about thismess of a trade
claimed that loren lied to her
implied that i am lying about her and the bad discs

claimed she sent out 85 discs since mine and no problems???

JUST WONDERING, ANYONE AT ALL TRADE WITH HER and if so was anyone happy with the discs??????????

id LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE to hear from someone who was happy with the different strokes
rsvp

RedWhine56 · 10-17-2005, 06:30 PM

You know, after that, I'd just send her the number of discs for CLUELESS and return all her other crap she sent you (or as much as will fit in a USPS Tyvek envelope that ships Priority Mail w/delivery confirmation for $3.85 - therefore costing you no more in postage than what you're already going to send) & just tell her it's a done deal. You have lots of positive feedback here recently & so IMO, it's not going to hurt you one bit, especially since she's already on the bad trader list. I've never dealt with her, but based upon what's already been posted in at least two trading communitiies, you're just never going to get any further with this gal. JMO.

Lamont · 10-17-2005, 06:31 PM

OK 1 last quote and then ill stop beating a dead horse

sue maples jsut sent me this evaluation of the different strokes set

"The Strokes are very watchable to me which some
episodes worse. That is my opinion and I still don't see how they are a 5
out of 10. I'm not having an attitude with you I am just upset with all the
work I have done on this trade.I am gald you gave me your opinion on the Strokes episodes but to me they really are aorund a 7, not sure if my recorder just didn't record them as good as the set I have here or what but my opinion is they are a 7."

CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY

She was banned for having the same IP address and mailing address as the most notorious bad trader around Pam Maples. This reaction is typical of her trying to squirm out of a bad situation.

You are not the bad guy here, and you are not beating a dead horse. You entered a trade trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. Well, now you know that all that many of us have tried to tell you about her is correct. Live and learn.
