EDIT** Sounds as if his new name on GTZ is HollywoodUndead **EDIT

First of all, sorry for the super large, picture heavy blog.
For those of you not aware, it seems I'm a rude CAG that likes to talk behind people's backs.
Oh! You were not aware? Let me shed some light on this for you...




Yep, that's me, right there at the bottom. What did I do to deserve this? Let's find out, shall we?





As you can clearly see, on 4/7 Sum41rcks1 was another unfortunate statistic in the terrible job market.
But don't think he would let that stop him! Oh no! He knew that, he couldn't support his highest bids, but if he could only be allowed to bid up to $50 more on some other items, all would be right with the world.
dv8mad would not hear of it though because he, being the savior and protector of all humanity that he is, felt pity for Sum41's predicament and thought it would be best to let him hang onto the money he so dearly needed to survive.
Luckily for Sum41, the Job Gods were looking down upon him. While many of you CAGs have searched high and low for job opportunities, Sum41 was able to procure an interview in mere HOURS!
Even then, dv8mad knew that, in the current job market, an interview is no guarantee of a position, so he offers Sum41 some sage advice which he gratefully accepts.

Of course, Sum41 will now stop surfing CAG and try to get all his ducks in a row!

Little did we know, that he would have the good fortune of being hired to a new company only a day and a half after losing his job.





Not content to sit back and try to pay for the prior bids he backed out on, Sum41, decides to pursue other avenues as well!





Don't go thinking that he forgot about me though! No, he doesn't come back to pay for what he backed out on, but to ask to selectively place bids only on the items he chooses.
Oh yeah... And to hit up other people's threads in between making online orders.





Yet another way dv8mad is a terrible guy; not only does he request that Sum41 pay for his items, but dv8mad even had the audacity to not add Sum41 to his positive CAG list or to sell him other items he had available after the sale.





Sum41 - having no money - surely due to his day and a half of unemployment, must resort to a "Super Sale" to get the money to pay dv8mad.





Just over a week later, dv8mad is finally paid off, and what does that ungrateful bastard do? He let's Sum41 do his unsolicited advertising in his thread without saying a word about it. The nerve of that guy!!!

Sum41 takes this opportunity to go out and place joke bids in a fellow CAGs lowball sale, because nothing says "Pillar of the Community" like ing up someone's sale for fun!

But hey, why stop with trying to ruin goomba's sale? dv8mad is having his last lowball sale ever, why don't you stop by and spread a little sunshine Sum41?





So, here we are, right back at the beginning where this whole things started. How dare dv8mad even suggest that Sum41 should have used some of his $50,000 to pay off his CAG debts! Of course, with the harsh treatment from dv8mad toward the angelic Sum41, this could be the only outcome.





Yep, I spent an hour and a half copying, pasting, and typing this up for CAG. If even one of you reads through it all and steers clear of him now and when/if he comes back, then I feel my mission has been fulfilled.

Did I read that right? He loses his job, gets an interview within 24 hours at EA, they call him early and he gets the job and suddenly has tons of cash to blow?

wut?

I never had an encounter with him, but I'll stand on your side regardless of the issue for all the things you've done for me!

You read it exactly right Scorch.
Thanks for the kind words.

wow, nice blog dv8...first blog i actually read all of, i found myself laughing at points at how stupid sum people can be

LMAO, this was easily the funniest thing i read all week. Your commentary was great. I loved the part where he loses his job, then gets another one in a day and a half, before the interview.

i wish i could get a job that fast, i was laid off last september, and finally just now, 9 months later, have i gotten an interview, and it was because i knew someone. I put in over 35 applications from last year, and just now i might get something finally. Ive only been living thanks to selling some of my old crap on ebay. luckily makes $100 a week, which is enough to sustain me for now, but damn, i do miss work.

and lmao, it was also funny when he said he ad 50k, then a few posts later, said its gone because he bought a new car.

man, this is classic. BEST BLOG EVER.

and to sum41rcks, all i can say is, you brought this upon yourself bro.... stop compulsive bidding/buying! Your supposed to save that for ebay at 3AM when your drunk. (im joking... i dont even drink.... ok, lame joke, i know *goes to corner)

This guy always exuded douchiness. When he was having his "super sale" I offered to buy one of his Blu's at $13. He accepted and sent me his paypal address. Before I paid I just asked him what condition it was in, and I was met with a PM a day or two later saying "Sorry, the sale is over!"

People should really avoid this guy

So he loses his job, somehow picks up a job at EA a few days later (like a major company would call someone early in the first place), and suddenly has $50k to spend on his "wants" like a month later? Yeah, I call BS on that entire story. Even if he's buying a car, he shouldn't be flaunting the fact that he has $50k to spend when in reality he doesnt. Unless he's buying a $49k car or something (a fairly retarded thing to do in this economy), how in the world does he not have the ability to spare $100-200 for his past bids?

The guy's a complete douche who has no real interest in actually purchasing any of that stuff. Sorry that you had to deal with a crappy person like that, dv8.

i feel ya phaperplane. I was laid off of a few jobs with no real prospects at the moment.

don't worry dv8. You're still my other man in japan despite what one person may think

lmao at the batista thing. I never understood why people don't take low ball sales seriously. If they didn't have the money they shouldn't bid. Its a easy concept.

Nice blog, dv8. I wasn't aware of the situation and was confused when I saw his thread bashing you and other CAGs. Thanks for clearing up the confusion and now I can steer clear of sum41 if/when he "comes back". We don't need members like him here.

First off, i just ant to say wow, i'm popular. i'm the first person in sum41's list, and i was mentioned several times. i even had a post dv8mad posted about me (i never saw that btw ).

On topic, i honestly never knew this was happening. I've talked/dealt with sum41 multiple times, and he paid/shipped items on time like any other cag, he was nice about it too.

I had no idea about all of this behind-the-scenes, and it kinda sucks seeing someone i trusted in this light, because u more-than proved that he was being a dick/lier to you.

The question is: why? He clearly has money, i'm not sure why he didn't just want to pay you. maybe he didn't want to tell you he didn't want them, idk what happened.

Overall though, it's the fake-bids that pisses me off the most, and i think he should be banned from CAG for that. While i never saw him as a bad guy, anyone ing around with lowball sales is a dick. I had my own, and i know how annoying it is when people retract their bids, but if people fake-bidded and then didn't pay/retracted it after he scared people off, i would be furious, and i see your position.

In case i wasn't clear here, let me sum it up. i've dealt with sum41 and he seemed like a nice guy, but you've showed me that he can be a dick. i 100% agree with you and this blog, and at this point he should be BANNED from cheapassgamer for what he's done. It's just a little sad to see it, considering i thought i knew him, and he always seemed like a nice guy to me, which is why i'm so shocked. if you hadn't posted this, i still would've thought that.

Can't this guy's IP address be banned?

I saw his "going away post" last night and just had to laugh at it.

If you act like a child, you'll be treated like a child.

CAG, the CAG trade community in particular, is probably better off without him.
