Dave123 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Guys, I have gotten pm's about whats been going on with Josh and Andrews sites (i frankly couldn't care less about Andrew as a dealer but i'm sure many do care,but whats wrong is wrong),there are people that know what happened,myself included and a forum dealer is behind this BS. It is being swept under the carpet,i don't agree with that,and am tired of seeing "what's with Josh's site" etc...,the dealer involved has admitted guilt,posts his joke of the day,and is being allowed to get a pass,as its just "dealer BS". I don't agree,this expense he went thru,and the expense he caused these dealers,along with the hassle to the members shouldn't be tolerated. Dave.

pizzanooo Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Dave, the joke of the day dealer has hacked other rep dealers sites? How can this be so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 As I understand restitution is being sought and is really the only suitable solution outside of the forum. Inside the forum, I thought dealers got the boot for non anti-competitive practices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I completely agree with you Dave. I guess most people know who was behind this....but don't know what the final decision was/is. I, for one, will probably never ever buy anything from that dealer. However, the Admin team locked down another thread where this was being discussed... so I guess they've made this discussion tabooed. I guess, in a way, it's like giving a carte blanche to the dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Josh got booted from RWI for nothing. The mods there today buy from him,and i got booted for predicting this at the time The only one that stood up,cowards. For me this goes way back and here i am again,whats right is right.

Samurai Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hmmm...I do remember the whole saga of J&A getting the boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Greg (D4M) wanted to be the main forum dealer,i told him this was a mistake,when the issues rolled in,how can you pay for it?,it was ignored,myself removed,he dealt,and gave up. Now those guys buy from Josh though he isn't listed and D4M "retired"....lol Now another dealer here has put Josh and Andrew under the gun,alot of noobs don't get what these two bring to the table in this game. I don't even buy reps anymore but they have to understand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave123 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I am banned from all rep forums aside from here at RWG,the old school guys. If i want to buy or sell a watch,its done,nobody gives me any hassle nor do i,always happy to deal with me. Even TTK is a member of a forum today,yet i am banned from all forums but here,even Josh is banned from RWI. I don't care about old school (or even 1-3 year old noobs) that don't get it,i really don't. But all you guys that don't realize what josh is bringing you guys that wouldn't be there for you if not for him,is foolish. I hope you are getting it,aside from that, F ya...

bwhitesox Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yes apparently there was going to be an explanation of what happened but yet to see it. The dealer in question should be booted from all rep forums without hesitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbjoer Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 If there is any truth to this, I really do agree that the dealer in question should be booted with immediate effect. Any anti-competitive action is seriously bad news for the fora. I know the issue was different, but it is noticeable how the attendance dropped on Repgeek after the scandals with the raffle watch and the watch sold there as well as on Ebay. The members here actually trust each other and the dealers a lot. The fora have to fight very hard to retain that trust and sometimes it may mean that they will have to let go of a member or a dealer. Luckily there are new dealers coming all the time, so we are not dependent on any one single dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I have bought quite a bit from Josh in the not too distant past, also from the businessman Andrew but that is long time ago now. Both these guys are natural part of any replica fora. Puretime on the other hand I have bought nothing from and some of his watches seem mediocre (but I might be wrong on that last part so do not quote me on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
