      Hello, Traci Lords fans...   
      What the fuck? I bet a lot of you guys know who Noro is. He   
   recently spammed me out of the blue, announcing his ***third time   
   going out of business***. That was kinda weird, I have not spoken to   
   the guy in well over two years, why does he still have my e-mail   
   address? Did you guys get spammed recently to? If you have done   
   business with him, he still probably has your addresses.   
      Well, he did have one movie I wanted, but I had not cared enough to   
   buy, but I decided to. 2 weeks later, I get a DVD with just sound, but   
   with no picture. A few days later, I get a plastic case with no   
   boxsleeve. I wrote him when I got the defective bootleg, and again   
   when I got just a plain plastic case. I got no reply for five days,   
   until the Wednesday of the following week. He said he would take care   
   of it.   
      Well, I was thinking this guy may be a narc, look how he got proof   
   of intent to purchase yet sent me not one piece of pornography. For   
   two or three days, I was pretty worried. A friend who lives with me   
   threw out all his legal porn on his computer, because it would be   
   embarrassing for him to get caught with it... no, that makes no sense   
   to me either, but he did do it...   
      Here's the kicker... that Tuesday, I wrote him saying I was peeved   
   he had not replied in four days... I also mentioned the screwy cappped   
   DvD he sent me was covered with fingerprints when I got it... I   
   wondered if he would get upset, I have dealt with Noro the Baby   
   before...   
      Well, I get an e-mail on Thursday telling me he is going to   
   consider whether or not to just give me a refund... what? After all   
   this, all I get is my money back? Nothing was said by me between those   
   two last e-mails, he just got upset I questioned his slow customer   
   service, which gave me a stress headache as I wondered, "What is more   
   likely, he is incompetant and incapable of doing a proper movie cap,   
   or he is a narc?" Of course, he toyed with me in our e-mails last   
   week, he only told me Sunday he sent out a refund on Thursday. I never   
   asked for a refund... well I demanded one Saturday morning, after he   
   broke the agreement in e-mail, but he had done so already on   
   Thursday... here I am, arguing with this idiot, and my money was   
   already in the mail and he quite purposefuly chose not to tell me. It   
   was only when I told him I was coming here that he got apologetic,   
   versus sarcastic and manipulative. I honestly felt like he was   
   dangling the movie in front of my nose like a carrot to a donkey.   
      I have done business with this jerk twice before. Both times before   
   he sent me defective material. I never thought it would happen a third   
   time. Both times before, he made me jump through hoops, taking just   
   over a week both times to reply to e-mails about defective objects.   
   Every time this happens, my risk and exposure is doubled, if not   
   tripled. And, this third time, he just decided for no good reason to   
   just send me my money back... I said nothing offensive until after he   
   screwed me... He keeps our e-mail addresses. He goes out of business   
   every two years like a carpet salesman, he takes offense at nothing,   
   like a big baby... I am the one jumping hoops, trying to get a proper   
   bootleg, and this is the only seller I have ever encountered who is   
   THIS DAMN INCOMPETANT!   
      Who is this guy? Do any of you know his real name? Have any of you   
   had the same headaches that I have? Because, personally, after this   
   past week of stress I want to kick his ass, righteously.   
      Thanks for your help. Any feedback would surely be appreciated.   
   And, yes, I know I have been stupid to send cash to this guy, to trust   
   him and think he will actually fulfill his obligations to me as a   
   customer.
