Reading through all this I think Josh deserves a larger share of the blame. You can't act unprofessional after taking people's money because you have "personal issues" or whatever. Part of being professional involves being transparent and communicative with customers. The OP made it seem like Josh had a Gay Boy on hand and would be able to ship it as soon as payment was received - there's no reason it should have taken six months. If we had the original tracking number, we could prove Josh sent it earlier but we only have the second one to go by right now.

The weird tangent of linking to some charity LGBT pins (to try and prove... what?) was also super odd for me. Nanode is trying too hard here for some weird reason. We get it, you think bowtie is gonna post pics of "an empty box and a fuck you note." You don't need to post that 12 times lol.

Fwiw if this all turns out fine and it really was some kind of months-long communication mishap, I might be down to buy a Gay Boy myself if there's any left.

He did ship it out. The first time it was shipped almost immediately, USPS shipped it back to Josh because of an impropper/misspelled address (I forget exactly what the problem was, but it had something to do with the address not being correct), the second time it got lost in the mail. That's what took up most of the 5 months (you'll have to take my word for it unfortunately). The last 2 months have been hard for him to even really get online (I don't feel like discussing why publicly without his concent is right, hence why I'm refraining from doing so). Yes that hiatus seems a bit unprofessional but there's a lot behind what happened.

I'm not trying hard. I find this whole LGBT pin thing *really* fishy, especially with it looking so much like the original item and barely less than 10% of the funds going to charity.

The thing I find the most insane is the messages. Like, how is nobody else seeing that? The only way I can possibly see this kind of dissonance in messenger is if one person deleted messages the other person sent and took a screenshot. He's clearly trying to do *something* to make him look bad.

No. My point, which you seem completely blind to, is that I only got a response from Josh (both the first, and second time which didn't appear in Facebook for whatever reason) 4 and 5 months after I bought the item, when I posted here.

Sigh. The logic there doesn't make any sense. If it was a scam, the item would obviously never have been real, and so the profit would be 100%.

that's my fucking argument, my dude

After not receiving any item, no refund, and then communication drying up completely, it's perfectly valid to assume that you have been scammed.

way to immediately contradict yourself, my dude.

After that, I didn't hear anything again, and he only replied (which I did not receive for whatever reason), weeks and weeks later - when I posted here again.

Ok I did some math, let's put this scam theory to the test.

Parts for a DMG like this would cost around $45 *best case* considering the price of a decent DMG, the buttons, screen protector, backlight, etc... He would have to build it first of all to take photos of it 100% working (which I can confirm it is real, as I have seen it irl and actually used the damn thing)

The breakdown of that...
- best case (from what I've seen) $20 for a good condition GB with a decent shell.
- paint (which is a lot considering the rainbow) is a good close to $60, though we'll forget that since he has a good collection of paint cans from what I've seen.
- (if he did bivert, which I'm almost positive he did) that's $4
- HHL backlight costs $13
- HHL glass screen protector is $4.50
- HHL white buttons $3


Here's the cost of a flat rate box that can ship said (or any) item to Glasglow

Let's use his usual price of $90 as an example (though he most likely charged less considering his current situation)...

Even if he didnt ship the item, he still has to pay money to ship something to you to get a tracking number for the 2nd item. So....

He's made a whopping $12, max. And let's say he did make 2? He's roughly $33 in the red. What a scam artist.

I say all of this because he can't possibly be scamming you, and if he is, then he's really bad at it and also is his first time doing it in his otherwise highly regarded 6 year career.

He's doing what he can to get it to you. I think putting himself in debt to ship 2 painted gameboys is more than enough proof that he want to maintain a good rep.

strikethrough doesnt work for some reason

You said I mod, which makes this 'even more sus'. I mod electronics following tutorials. I don't paint. Your logic baffles me.

I tried to correct myself by doing a strikethrough on that, but bbcode formatting didnt work correctly I guess.

I know Josh has had personal stuff going on and we've exchanged a few messages over the last year. At this point I don't really even care if I get the DMG. It won't give me any happy feelings, that's for sure.

What exactly am I supposed to be hiding?

Maybe that you're trying to pull one over on josh by deleting messages and making it seem like he isn't communicative? Maybe you're hiding the first gay boy and trying to get a second one out of him? Maybe you're just being a dick? Who knows at this point.

you're just repeating yourself, and you're choosing what and what not to respond to at this point. It's clear you're hiding something.

Again, (I feel like I'm like a broken record player at this point), there's a lot going on from his side from what I've heard. He hasn't been able to focus on his modding business not to mention mailing off until very recently. I get that's not something you necessarily want to hear but if you hit him up I'm sure he can explain. I don't want to discuss what he may or may not want to be public.

It's also pretty clear that either...
A) Facebook fucked up delivering his message
B) You deleted those messages to stir up drama.

Either way, you're not making this look good for you.

He did try to fix the situation. He sent you a second gameboy. If anything that should be signal enough that he has only but the best intentions. He's put more money into this than what he's gotten out.
