Closing in on KrazyKatt and Adam Judd
me2
her husband Adam Judd. I called Corona information and got all the Judds in
the area. I finally found Sarah and Thomas with a phone number of 909 371
8351. I called the number and talked with Sarah who is Adam's sister in-law.
I told her everything I have read on the newsgroup as well as relating my
personal experience with "The Judds". She expressed disbelief and shock and
sounded like a nice lady. She confirmed that Adam is a dealer of video game
equipment and lives on Cottage Drive with his wife Jan Johnson. Boys and
girls it is time to close the books on these people. We need to call the
local police out there and get them to have a straight talk with these
idiots. I was personally bilked out of $85 and I am not going to take it
anymore. Maybe some of you guys should call Sarah and relate your losses to
her. Adam's brother Thomas might help to bail him out of this mess and it
will keep me from sounding like the only one who got stung. If I don't get
my money or my working (stress the working) Millipede board by this Friday I
will call the local police out there as well as send in the mail fraud
report I received from my local postal inspector with Jan and Adam's names
on it. I am e-mailing a copy of this to krazykatt as well as fair warning.
We now know exactly who and where you are.

don't know anything about these dealings. They don't deserve to be bothered.
Use the authorities. Just my opinion.

I can obviously feel for you and yor problems, but DO NOT
make me the Scapegoat on your shipping problems I have been to
you ONCE and picked up one machine! I personally picked it up
and delivered it MYSELF. Anything else was between you and
Kevin Fleming and it was just handed off to me because he was
not able to go as far as VT for Bobby Volk. Bobby is a great
guy and will be glad to tell anyone this is true!!!
Good luck
and I will be more than happy to work with you to help you
out!
Regards
Randy @Buffalo Shipping

I haven't had any dealings with you Adam, but its hard to
believe that everyone on the newsgroup is making this up. I
think a lot of people wanted to get their orders done a long
time ago...

I suppose this is time for me to finally chime in and say something.
I was hoping I could have some more time to prepare a statement before things
got nasty, but....
I am Adam Judd (Krazykatt's(Jan's) husband). *I* am the one selling arcade
parts.
My wife had been helping with sales of arcade games for awhile by way of outlet
on Ebay. Sales on ebay started out pretty nice, overall. Eventually, sales
started getting very high and became a little overbearing. Paperwork messed up,
packages mis-shipped, communication lacking, a few items oversold, running out
of stock, suppliers out of stock, etc, etc. A small vacation was taken and the
ball was dropped. The autoresponder didn't do it's job and everyone got a
little worked up with no email response. (btw, netzero is NOT the best with
handling large volume of email). The poop hit the fan. Angry mob gathers
shortly thereafter. I take over and stop current sales. I've been making
heads/tails of everything since and shipping things out. Here we are now.
As for shipping: The biggest and most time consuming problem was with the glass
artwork items and whole machines. Packaging large glass items has been tedious
and a pain in my back. Shipping whole games has been a n*i*g*h*t*m*a*r*e a-la
RBS. When it all gets down to it, this is my fault for not throttling the
amoung of sales happening and not working on communication between myself and my
very helpful wife who has received nothing but heartache from helping me out and
being such a good sport about it. She's the best and I'm sorry for dragging her
through all of this. I'm sorry for dragging any of you through the long waits
and misery of not knowing what was going on.
To make it short, all inquiries as to any pending deals need to be directed to
me at this email address. I have been closing out and finishing up deals a few
at a time as time permits and I have still have a quite a few remaining. If you
ordered something, you will get it or a refund if I cannot provide the item.
To this end, I need one shipper who can provide transport of whole arcade
machines to 4 locations, one location being in New York for a nice gentleman and
the other scattered among the states. No Randy Buffalo, please. (Yes, he's
tried to double bill at least two customers and succeeded one time - the man in
florida who bought the top speed marquee). Among the tricks was the
disappearing Chiller which took (BobbyVolk, help me out here) how many months to
be delivered after promise among promise, week after week. Argh!
Currently: Several schematics were shipped out on Saturday along with some
various boards and such. I must stress that if you have a pending deal, PLEASE
contact me so I am sure to know about it. All paperwork on this end is suspect
at this point in time as far as I am concerned.
To Don (aka Arcade Guy). I have seen nothing but cheap shot after cheap shot
from you about my wife. You need to lay off or pick on someone your own size,
buddy. My wife was instructed by me to tell you to send the Kangaroo board back
and you'd get a refund. *I* personally accept all returns and have *never*
received a single return from you. You said you sent it. You said it was sent
with delivery confirmation and when asked to provide that delivery confirmation
number, you would not provide it. I have my wifes emails to prove you were
asked and that you avoided providing this information to her/me. Put up or shut
up. Give me that number which shows it was delivered (or even SENT and
subsequently not delivered for whatever reason) and I will refund your $32 was
it? Make the number public here on this newsgroup so everyone can see and I
will put up. Got it? Also, nobody heard from Jan that "if she can make 1/3rd
of the people happy, we can rip everyone else off, etc, etc". That's just crap
and you know it. I invite you publicly to come here to my home any time you'd
like to have a cup of coffee so we can speak face to face. We're right off the
15fwy and Ontario Street in Corona, CA.
Adam Judd
2841 Cottage Drive
Corona, CA 92881
ANY time, Don.
To the <name not posted> who threatened to come here and do horrible,
disgraceful unmentionables to my two year old daughter. You should be ashamed
of yourself for even thinking something like that. Say it to my face. Your
item cost $15 (with shipping) and it's already been shipped. Choke on it. I
don't want to invite YOU to my home, you sicko.
To Derek. I'm SO sorry you've had to deal with any of this crap.
To James Watt. Derek and I talked. I'll send your parts out tomorrow and get
you that tracking number just like I said.
To Bobby Volk - Email me please.
To Evil Exidy - Email me please. You and I need to discuss some things.
To Daniel in MV, CA. Email me when you have a chance, please.
To Mark - Enjoy the extra 100 EPROMs. Sorry for the hassle.
To Art in NY - No matter how much you say, I know you just speak your mind and
I'll never hate you for it, grump! :)
To John (is that the name of the person who called my brother?) - Email me and
you will be taken care of immediately.
To everyone who's badmouthed my wife who hasn't had any dealings with her (or
me) *ever*. Nice going. Fan the flames.
To everyone that's left. Krazykatt(Jan) is done with this and will never again
have anything to do with arcade games. Together, we have successfully turned my
wife into a 100% arcade hating woman. I'll never be able to have a game in the
house again. The garage is my only safe haven now. <sob sob> I suppose this is
my final punishment.
Anyone that would like to come pick up their items in person, please let me
know. It would speed things up a little, I'm sure. I'll reimburse you for any
shipping fees paid.
I'd like to point out that even with all of the current crapola that's going on,
my wife helped to make 200+ successful deals through ebay and there are some
happy folks out there. I'll make all of this right and then we can move on to
the usual arcade talk and <insert other persons name here> bashing that happens
to be going on at the time.
These packages went out on 07/07/00: Sorry, I do not have emails to go along
with the names.

Good evening to everyone.

from everybody, but when the arcade community finally comes together to
take legal, personal, whatever action, Mr. Judd finally speaks up
trying to be a nice guy. BullShit. How many packages were "lost in
the mail"? I know everyone here has heard that one. How many working
boards arrive busted. Good luck dude... it's too late for nice words
and I'm sorrys. All the people here know what you are really a crook!
All you are trying to do now is save your own ass when youve been
caught!

You personally picked up a couple of games and they were delivered just
fine.
Several other machines and one huge marquee was picked up by a driver
(Kevin) who was working for you at the time. I know you and he have had
your differences, but the fact is that he was working for you at the
time and you are responsible.
I have no hatred for you and I personally think you're a great guy. I
think maybe you've taken in too much business from time to time and it's
caused problems just like for me, but the lack of prompt service did
cause quite a bit of a problem for me. Maybe a real estimate of time
for delivery would have been better. I mean, it would have been great
if you told me, "hey, I am totally swamped and it's going to take me 3
more months to get the game to bobby" instead of, "next week, next week"
or whatever you told me. Poor Bobby waiting month after month for his
Chiller game. I felt so bad for him when I was sure he would have it
promptly after the GREAT service I got from you previously.
Now, some of you might think this is funny as hell coming from ME. I
admit to everyone I can be super slow getting things out. I won't make
any excuses for myself. I'm SLOW. Ok? Slow, yes. A crook out to rip
all of you off, no! Anyhow, back to Randy.
Randy, this part right here has been dogging my nerves for awhile. The
Top Speed marquee going to FL. I was quoted $105 by a local shipper for
this item to be delivered for me. I was quoted $100 by Kevin. The
marquee was picked up (by Kevin who was in fact working for you at the
time) and shipping was paid for at that time. You and I spoke on the
phone once and you made some noise about the $100 price tag, but never
said that more had to be paid. Later on down the road when you were in
FL and about to deliver, the buyer contacts my wife and he's up in arms
about having to pay another $80 when he already paid $100 for the
shipping. The buyer was insanely pissed off to put it mildly. He was
upset with your blunt words, "pay $80 or I'm selling it". Perhaps you
could have been a little more smooth about it than this, I don't know.
Anyhow, under the gun, I decided it would be better if he paid the $80
and took possession of the marquee and then I'd send him an $80 refund.
Then I could get back to you and figure this out. $180 to ship a <50lb
marquee? Come on. I made $20 on that deal total because of the $80
extortion by you. I feel shafted on that deal, Randy.
Other times you did in fact try to double bill on a game of two. We
always resolved it, but you still tried. I chalked it up to you being
messy with the paperwork. I can understand it, so I didn't let it get
to me.
I know that the newsgroup tends to harp on the bad and never on the
good, so I take it all with a grain of salt. Being the target of flames
and complaint, myself I know how you must feel especially if you're
trying to do something good and honest. Unfortunately, being slow is
the #1 killer among sellers in this newsgroup. You'll be called every
name in the book because of it, too. I can take it. Words are words.
Anyone who knows me also knows that all the crap that has been said is
exaggerated and coming from upset people. People say bad things when
they're upset. People tend to remember the bad things and forget the
good, too. Particularly if you don't happen to respond quickly.
I've let the threads go on and on and on without saying a word. Net
result. Angry mob wanting my soul to rot in hell, first born given up
and any other thing they could think up at the time. I know some people
may look back at the things they say and feel aweful for stooping so low
and I apologize if I've ever made anyone stoop to that level. I'm
really an up front guy and just inconsiderate with shipping promptly all
the time.
If I am shipping to someone I know and like, I go out of my way to ship
quickly (and you all know who you are). I'm sure that looks bad, but the
orders were pouring in waaaaaay too fast for me, so I went belly up on
the prompt service.
Anyway, back to you Randy. Like I said. I really don't harbor any hard
feelings for you. I just feel like you treated me badly and a couple of
my customers badly. I can understand why anyone else would have second
thoughts about dealing with me because of the bad press, so I really do
know how you feel.
Randy, you are welcome to come by any time and hang out. Maybe we can
forget about all of this and move on.
Any of the other locals are welcome to swing by, too. I'd like to clear
things up and move on ASAP.
As a side note: Kevin Fleming of JRS is a great guy. I've never really
had any problems with him. Perhaps the problems between Randy and Kevin
translated to me down the road, but I think Kevin is a great guy who is
up front and honest. He tends to be really FAST, too. Kevin = Good
guy.
Good evening to all of you and happy gaming.

What did you say your name was again? Come out and show yourself, coward.
I'm trying to fix things by shipping out remaining orders and you're being
a prick about it. Maybe nice words and I'm sorry's won't help, but the
fact that everything is shipping out will help, so shut your trap.
And how exactly have I been caught? You all know where I live. You all
know my name. Duh. The only difference is that someone called my brothers
house and bothered them about something they have nothing to do with.
Smart.
Again, anyone with pending orders, contact me and let's get this done.

I noticed you did NOT say ANYTHING about people who did get the stuff they
ordered but it did NOT work. I did a Defender full pcb set core trade +my
cash of course with your wife. 1st time I got a totally non-working pcb set
, but i got it a week after I sent payment. 2nd time I got a MOSTLY working
pcb set but cpu board has major problems, after waiting and emailing for a
month. I finally gave up on dealing with your wife in emails and chalked it
up to another rip-off, and after reading all the other people who had the
same problem here I didnt want to send my pcb set back for the THIRD time
for fear i would not get it back at all.. I have to also add that the fact
you have been reading this NG all along and have waited till now to respond
does not look good. I will email you tomorrow and see what happens...

I cannot respond to a catch-all statement like katt-watch mentioned. It's
impossible. I can respond to your direct question, however. If you bought a
Williams board from us, I tested it. Although, I don't always test everything
for 24+ hours, I do test them. If they come up, I can coin it up and play it
for awhile.. leave it on and coin it up some more and play it again
later....well, it works. Now, I'm not going to say you don't know what you're
doing, but Williams boards are horribly unreliable. We all know this. Did you
have a switching power supply installed or one of the original power supplies?
Either way, boards that could be tested were tested working and sold as tested
working and sold as-is. We do not mark any of the boards, so I'll never know if
a return is really the same board we sent out. This is why AS-IS is the way it
goes. All the bad press makes me look even worse for saying this, but that's
just the way it is.
Reading the newsgroup and not responding is usually what I do. I know
ultimately it's a bad choice, but when I do respond, it only fans the flames and
keeps the bad words rolling. It's a true fact that this takes place.
As I said earlier, my wife is out of this for good and sending email to the
krazykatt email address will result in no reply whatsoever. You must contact me
via this address to get anything done.
Good evening.

Making what up? There are still items owed, yes. I admit that I still
need to ship items. This is why I need for people to contact me so I
can square away any deals that I may not be aware of. I have some
information, but I am lacking certain things such as email addresses,
some shipping addresses, etc.
Yes, I'm sure people wanted their orders taken care of promptly. It
could not be done. I am apologizing for this and offering to finish the
left over deals NOW. It's better than not at all.
Being slow ...extremely slow does not translate to being a crook.
Inconsiderate? Probably. Do I care? Yes. Email me.
Good evening.

I have sat back and watched this entire situation unfold for months. Never once did
you speak up and try to work things out or explain what the problem was. Therefore
I must assume that many of the things that have been said about your business
practices are true Had you really have had problems like you described then it was
up to you to work them out way before now, and quit auctions all together until you
got things straightened out. However you never said a word, not until now when
someone has actually found out who you are. Regardless if you are a flat out thief
and liar, as I guess that you are---and I despise a fucking thief, or if you just
could not keep your orders in line and were a slack ass, it makes you a loser either
way and gives anyone who has had problems with you a legitimate beef. If you were
true to your word, then what you have written tonight would have come out of your
mouth long ago. You ruin collecting with you disgraceful business practices, so
rot in hell you fuck.

This is exactly the crappy useless response I was just talking about. Whenever the crap
"rip off artist" posts start, if the person being targeted responds, it keeps the flames
going with snotty rips from people like you who have absolutely nothing to say worth
reading as it does nothing to help alleiviate the problem at hand. Just so you'll
remember, the problem at hand is finishing up shipping out the remainder of the orders
pending. Don't lose sight of this.
How does taking a long time to ship and having communication problems make me a thief?
I would expect people to be glad I'm trying to finish these deals up. Now, I'm not
asking for a pat on the back, congratulations or for anyone to like me. I just want
people who are waiting on their parts to contact me asap so we can tidy up the loose
ends. Of course, I also expect a large amount of anger from people, as well. Please
realize that flames won't make any of this happen more quickly. Once the remaining deals
are complete, I'll go away.
Since you apparently have no idea what you're talking about, I expect you to make foul
remarks no matter how I respond in an attempt to merely continue the mud slinging. So
be it.
You are making too many assumptions to come to the conclusion that I am a thief.
First off, my wife handled emails one at a time. I never responded publicly because
each problem was being taken care of one at a time privately. I knew the second any
response was made publicly, some prick like you would come out and say something
completely useless and non-constructive.
Second, at no time was it ever a secret that Krazykatt was my wife and she was selling
for me. Perhaps not advertised, but known by many people. Nobody has found out who I
am, you moron. Everyone already knew who I was the whole time.
I know there's a bunch of people reading this and they know I'm an ok guy but are
hesitant to say anything for fear of being bashed by people like you for sticking up for
me. No problem, people. I can handle this on my own. Mark, hide behind your keyboard
and bash me all you'd like. This is child's play and nothing you say hurts, buddy.
If I've ruined collecting for you Mark, too bad. You seem a miserable type anyhow, so I
doubt it's true I had anything to do with your sour attitude towards collecting arcade
games. I have the distinct luxury of knowing your life, though it may be very long and
lazy, is a miserable existence and will probably remain this way for a very long time.
Poor soul. Live long and enjoy the sorrow you create for yourself.
I may create a lot of discomfort for people on the newsgroup because of my tendencies of
being slow to ship half the time, but it's miserable people like you Mark who make not
only the newsgroup but any public medium a rotten place to be part of. Slow to ship
some cheap circuit boards, artwork and junk isn't a sign that the world is coming to a
end, people.

glad to see that you are trying to resolve your deals. I would like to provide
some insight though to all of what has transpired.
I am a seller on Ebay and have a website. I try my best to ship items fast. I
try to get items out the next day on money orders and even though my auctions
say 7 days for a personal check, I usually forego that just to get items out as
fast as possible. It can and does get very involved. But this is my livelyhood.
I have to provide the best service possible.
Even though I do not advertize it in my auctions, I have given full refunds on
PC boards if they don't work. I have sent machines out working, only to get a
call from the buyer that the game is not working. And I ask them to have their
local repairman fix it and split the bill. I work hard to keep people happy. I
have to. It is my business to. Without my customers I would have to get a real
job.

OK.... lets hope the honour thing happens and we all get our stuff (I'll be
emailling you my list seperately to this public post).
Isn't it lucky we all read the rgvac newsgroup? If I didnt surf here I'd
have thought my money I sent last year was well and truly lost. And here I
have one more chance to get my boards or my cash. Whilst we're at it even
though, Jeff F. wont read this, but :
>Oh God, now for the onslaught of shit again... Why doesn't everyone use
>email for this one and leave the newsgroup out of it. There's been enough
>of this crap lately to last the rest of the year.
- doesnt cut the mustard. If we didn't have this medium, the *dozens* of us
who've been disappointed, delayed and lied to wouldnt be aware or have a
mechanism to vent our anger. For chrissakes isn't the newsgroup all about
this?
Here in the UK back last November I was asked about Krazykatt deals and *I*
recommended that whilst shipments were slow the good would arrive as I
indeed had over the course of last year 2-4 ebay auctions where I got what I
bidded on - albeit with a 3-4 month shipping delay. 3 people asked me, and
3 people bidded and won Krazykatt auctions. Since then, 2 people have now
got their stuff because frankly I think they sent nasty bitter emails and
warning threats (but nothing like threatening a child - Jesus!) , probably
having found a way to make it hurt online - I dunno. From a post earlier by
Adam I think Jim Watt's been helped so that will be all three thank Christ!
I just hope my private email gets back my money or parts. And to think -
back then I even posted a positive encouragement post about Jan here on the
Newsgroup when this all flared up as I still thought I might get my bits and
I too am a slow despatcher of stuff (not 8 months mind you)!
- - -
Anyhow - I've strayed and didn't mean to - but its written and I'm not
removing it. My original point for this post was:
> As I said earlier, my wife is out of this for good and sending email to
the
> krazykatt email address will result in no reply whatsoever. You must
contact me
> via this address to get anything done.
Perhaps as a suggestion as not everyone who purchases from ebay reads the
newsgroup - and if you really want to honour everyone's deals then perhaps
you should "list" 1 more eBay item using Krazykatt's eBay ID with a subject
line like "Krazykatt deal? read this..." or something which lists your email
address and how to contact you to sort out their deals. My suggestion would
be you make it a dutch auction for a silly item like a microswitch button at
$0.01 or something equally daft so you're not breaking eBay rules
deliberately and as a way for people to contact you also over a 9-day period
who dont read rgvac (or have already killed Krazykatt posts like Jeff ;p).
Also a search by seller for the next 30-days would reveal this auction I
guess this time period extending further.
I've had my say and hopefully suggested something sensible too.

I never once told you not to speak. By all means, please continue to provide a fine example of
my case in point. I was sure someone would come forward to offer all of these fine folks a
first hand demonstration of useless gibberish. I'm glad it was you since you're obviously so
talented.
I'm absolutely certain you are the person I described earlier.
Why on earth would I want to call you? I don't care about you, your ass or your promises for
that matter. To top it off, I already know that I don't like you in the least amount. Have I
not made this clear enough for you?
Who are the so-called buddies of yours whom which were alleged to have been ripped off by me?

Yes, I am trying to resolve this once and for all so we can all move on with our
lives. I have several items which need to be shpped out, but I am lacking
important information such as email addresses and mailing addresses. The fault is
solely my own for not handling all deals personally and allowing a gap in
communication grow between myself and my wife who was helping me at the time by
listing things on Ebay.
I try to be prompt with shipments, but a few times some items were oversold because
I was selling to one group of people while my wife was selling to an entirely
different group. Bad combination. I reluctantly accepted several returns on items
which I felt could have been my fault and there was no problem with that. Other
items which I was entirely confident was in working order just prior to being
shipped out, I wasn't willing to accept a return on.
The mind boggling amount of parts being sold each week just got completely out of
hand. I will continue to sell to the people who are local and know me, but I am
hesitant (as I am sure many of you are) to make any new deals with the newsgroup as
a whole any longer. Anyone who has bought from me before and truely knows what I
am all about, you're still welcomed friends. The mean people who treat this like
it's the end of the world and harbor vast amounts of hatred....well, I don't
welcome you.
I am at fault. You could all use a small amount of patience while I clear this
up. It will go a long way in making this as painless as possible.
Thank you.
IF YOU HAVE A PENDING DEAL, EMAIL ME.

You're an ok guy and I'm sorry you've had to be put through any of this. It
really is a shame and I truly apologize for it.

your wife. I've watched all the unhappy postings and stayed very clear
from the Krazykatt1 auctions. I can certainly understand how what you
are saying now could be very true. I am just curious about a couple of
things.
1) If no attempt was made to deceive people then how could Jan run
auctions for "tested working" boardsets, while at the same time running
auctions for identical, "untested boardsets, that came out of a box
marked, working"? Several people on this newsgroup reported receiving
such boards, with obvious missing components and physical damage that
could not have occurred in shipping. Centipede comes to mind here. At
the time, I was in the market for a Centipede board. There was no way I
was going to touch one of those auctions.
2) If no attempt was made to deceive people then why was the the user
componentsales created immediately after the KK username was no longer
valid?
No flames intended here. Just looking for answers. I can certainly see
how all of this could raise havoc with your personal life. Giving you
the benefit of the doubt, good luck in straightening all this out. It
appears that you are indeed trying very hard.
CA Equipment
I can appreciate your questions.
If you've ever been to my place then you would know just how many of each
type of circuit board I have in stock (anyone want to chime in and vouch for
this one?). Let's take Tempest boards for example. At one point in time, I
had to have at least 10-15 boxes full of these. From time to time, I'd take
one box and test them out in a Tempest cabinet, fix them, etc. These would
then be the tested/working boards to stock for sale. I later sold off the
Tempest cabinet after only testing and repairing 3 or 4 boxes (30-40 boards
or so). This was sufficient supply to keep me selling for quite a long
time, wouldn't you agree?
Then comes in a load of 6 more boxes of Tempest boards from an operator I
bought out. I bought much more than only Tempest boards, mind you. The
boxes were mostly marked "working" in their own writing, but we all know how
flaky these things are. With no way to test them and plenty of other boards
in stock, I decided to liquidate these Tempest boards. They were to be sold
as-is, untested and the boxes were infact marked "working". The AS-IS claim
and untested should always fire up the light bulb to let you know what to
expect. I know that these boards are notorious for the pots breaking off as
I am sure all of you know. This is primarily the "broken" items on those
boards. If there were some obvious mistakes in listing these, which I don't
believe there were, it must be due to a simple miscommunication between
myself and my wife who listed them on ebay. At no time did I ever send out a
board that was physically damaged in a way other than a small part broken
off which is easliy overlooked when pouring boards out at rock bottom priced
untested condition. (ie: no boards were broken in half or covered in tar,
etc).
(I believe early on way before any of this, 20 or more Tempest boards were
sold to Al Kossow. He came and picked them up in person. He later
complained a large number of POKEY chips were missing. I promptly replaced
them for him knowing I sold them to his as complete. This was an obvious
oversight and miscommunication which I covered for.)
All the time the untested boards were being liquidated, the tested boards
were coming from the tested pile and being offered at the same time. I
figured it would be nice to give people an option of buying untested boards
at a much cheaper price. Not many people can offer the titles I can in the
quantities I can. This very tactic was true with many different types of
boards I had in stock in which I had tested stock and new untested stock
coming in from the same operator.
Componentsales? If you are referring to this identity, I am "CA Equipment"
not componentsales. I'm sorry if there is any confusion with you not know
who you're speaking to right now. I am indeed Jan's husband Adam. This
allows me to specifically speak to all of you and finish this up. I have
identified myself to everyone and I am "taking over" where the deals were
left off. I believe this is an obvious attempt at recovering these sour
deals and not a try for deceit. When I am done, the identity goes bye bye
along with me and you will all never have to deal with me again.....unless I
see something good for sale. :)
Good evening to all and happy gaming.

My thoughts exactly! Get away from the keyboard and start packaging!!!
I had one additional thought (pretty major event for me)... If the
"volume" of sales was so high as to cause problems getting stuff out and
resulted in these long delays... WHY oh WHY would you keep literally
SPAMMING eBay with NEW listings every Sunday? (This practice
continues, even now, under a new seller name) Sheesh, maybe "catching up"
would have been a really good business move when you started falling
behind.
For the recored, I prefer not to post my phone number here where all
these wacky, demented and dangerous arcade maniacs visit ;>) but my name
is Allen Wood.

You damn well should post the name. Anyone who suggests anything to do with
someone's child regardless of the provocation deserves to be identified in
public. People like that dont deserve the protection that your discretion and
good manners provide - publish the guys name.
As for not hating me, thank you. :) If the you continue to publish your
shipments and tracking numbers, you can do nothing but improve opinion here.
I suppose I do have the nasty habit of speaking my mind - comes with being 50,
semi-retired, and not dependent at all on game sales to make a living.
FWIW I have dealt with Don in Buffalo a few times and found him exceptionally
honest.
Keep up this kind of post and keep clearing orders and I might even buy
something from you :)

>left over deals NOW. It's better than not at all.
Let up on the guy a little - he never said what he did was right, just that he
f***ed up and is trying to correct it. True? Maybe. A step in the right
direction - for sure.
It is possible that the 'swamped' story is true - I have done wholesale TV
repair for large department store chains and I know what it is like to get 400
or 500 percent more work at a time than you are geared to handle. Granted, I
have a different way of reacting to such problems (I was able to staff up and
deal with it, and let the customers know on a daily basis what was going on)
but I had the resources and systems in place to do that.
It is also possible that all the bad things that have been said about the
Judd's ethics and practices are true.
Either way - the guy appears to be trying to make good. Forgive what he did?
Thats a personal call. Applaud his renewed efforts? Thats a tad much. But
kick back and carefully and quietly watch the results of the new campaign?
Doesnt that make sense?
Damned if I know why I find it necessary to write these posts - rally none of
my business

screwed up here, and we're trying to fix it."
- now, here come the opposition saying:
1. "but he keeps putting new listings on eBay"
... well maybe so, but here's hoping it can still all be
taken care of
2. "he should have come forward long ago"
... again, maybe so, but that's not what happened here. he
IS coming forward NOW, which is a good thing, regardless of what
has or hasn't happened in the past.
3. "he's just plain crooked and likes to screw people out of
money"
... sounds to me like there were lots of problems that adam
didn't know about on some boards, and that kind of thing was
probably why he used the 'as-is' tag in the first place. as for
missing components, well, there could be some 'splaining to do
but i don't know how unsatisfied customers handled their
problems...
But at least he's not pointing fingers and trying to counter-
accuse people, not passing the buck onto others (even though it
does sound like his wife was unsuccessfully trying to help), and
not denying the problem.
Adam - if this gets resolved more power to you, and learn when
to put a cap on business.
Adam, RBS (i'm sure randy's reading the thread too) and
everybody else suffering a backlog - STOP new business until
every shred of old is cleared up. start over, essentially.
I've had to do that with my freelance work a couple times, but
then again my dayjob backs me up... it works and makes everyone
feel a little better.

she has nothing to do with it, leave her alone. It's between Adam/Jan and
the buyer.
Would you want someonce bothering you with a problem that has happened with
your brother/sister and someone else? I wouldn't. Their business is theirs
and mine is mine.
Just an insight, and to be honest, a bit of shock as to why you would bother
their relative with this.

contacted his sister-in-law. Adam has been hiding out there for the past
three months with no responses to anyone who tried to contact him. I did not
call her and harass her. I merely asked if she might have his phone number
or if she could contact him for me (us) when she asked what this was all
about I told her exactly what I have read on the group. This obviously got
relayed to his brother and finally back to Adam. Within 12 hours Adam has
publicly responded and is willing now to come out and clean up these
problems. I am not saying it is what I did. Maybe he was going to do this
all on his own (doubtful) but a little shame sometimes goes a long way. I
have no hard feelings for the guy and his family. I just want my hard earned
money back or my equipment I ordered and paid for. As for the rest of the
folks on the group who are finally getting responses and out of this I am
glad for them. This could have all been taken care of much quieter if Adam
had responded (at all) earlier. It really isn't necessary for Adam to say
anything further on the group. He as Randy should put their axes to the
grindstone and get their businesses up and flourishing. Don't even read the
group further. Just get to work. These threads can go on forever and it
really isn't worth it.

That's exactly the way things appear to have developed.
I'm sure people would have reacted differently if these "customer
service" posts were made from the start (or at least sent in e-mail.)
But the reported track record and late response to complaints both speak

Well, I live in the Netherlands and I have ordered some things as well. All I
ordered (mainly smaller parts) arrived in about 2 weeks, which I think IS quick.
Krazykatt even programmed one of the PROMS I ordered with an image I send them
myself, for free, and communication was OK.
Ofcourse, a lot of people probably had different experiences, but I must say I
myself am a happy customer, and I live 6000 miles away... not all is bad a bout

certainly gaining you points in this whole mess. I for one, am convinced
that you are diligently trying to resolve all issues at any cost. From
your explanations, it's obvious that there's more going on that you are
not aware of. The ebay user account that I was referring too,
(componentsales) had the same ISP (netzero.net), used the same pic
host(imagehost.auctionwatch), used the same type of pic addy
suffix(Mvc785s.jpg), several of the exact same items(5mW 670nm Laser
Diode Module 3-6VDC NOS, Triplett Model 7000 Frequency Counter, Arium
ML4100 Logic Analyzer, Applied Micro EM-180B Z80 Diagnostic Emulator),
in southern CA, with similar style of auction listings. Maybe your wife
was doing all this without your knowledge. With your obviously fragile
marital status, now may not be the time for another confrontation. Good
luck in your future endeavors. In the years of newsgroup scandals, I
have never seen anyone try as hard as you seem to be right now. Yes,
this should have taken place a long time ago, but if you truly can pull
this one off, you will have gained a lot of respect, and I would look
forward to doing business with you.

To be honest, I have no idea how anything was listed at this point in time. I have
nothing to go back and look at. I do know that some items were sold as-is untested
and some sold as tested/working as-is.
My effort here isn't to drag up old news but to try and get out the remainder of
the deals and be done with this.
On an item by item basis, perhaps I can answer your question, but I can't answer
one catch-all question such as the one you've presented me with.
You may think the timing is bad for me to try and make things right now, and you're
welcome to keep this idea in your mind. I however, believe even though I'm late in
doing this, it's better than doing nothing about it at all.
Good day.

Lack of proper communication. How many times do I need to say this. I did
not instruct my wife properly to throttle down the amount of sales on ebay,
apparently. This is solely my fault and I take responsibility for it, of
course.
Should have, could have, yes yes yes. I know. I'm catching up NOW.
Good day.

I thought long and hard about this and finally decided I would try not stooping so
low, but I came real close. This person will eventually show his true colors in
the newsgroup and you'll be able to pinpoint him almost immediately if you keep in
mind what he said about my daughter. He's a sick man.
Please, Art. You can hammer me any time. :)
Tracking numbers for todays load will follow in an upcoming post. I want to go
through each message and answer them.
I've got a real problem with Don, but if you say he's an OK guy, maybe he's not
nearly as bad as I currently believe. We'll get to that in a few.
Have a good one, bud.

Everyone now. Don't forgive me. Don't like me. Don't even care about me.
Just allow me to get these deals done and then we can forget all about it.

Maybe that came out the wrong way, I don't want to make the deals in the NG
anymore knowing how hated I am here. (ie: I don't feel welcome anymore). I think
that more clearly states what was on my mind at the time. If say I were to make a
post with things for sale, you know I'd be hammered all day and night by the RGVAC
police. :) I don't want that anymore than the filter block people do.

Thanks for the positive note. I'm glad someone who is happy with us has the iron

I have tracking numbers for people today. I'll list them in an upcoming post.
I'm not selling any equipment at this time with the exception of some Tektronix
1240/1241 gear on the newsgroups. I've had a few takers. I know Jan has not been
selling anything at all because she's gone into internet-hate mode. She won't
even fire up her system to listen to some MP3's anymore. The krazykatt account
will not be used *ever* again, unfortunately.
I know you're trying to help, but I take exception to the statement you made about
our marital status being fragile. My wife and I are doing great and we're
completely happy with each other. Her helping me with selling arcade games and
parts seemed to work for awhile but ultimately failed. That's that. I'm not mad
at her, she's not mad at me, but she's a little spooked with some of the things
people said to her. She had fun with it for a little while and made some new
friends (and enemies) during this time frame.
I appreciate the time you've taken to write your thoughts out for everyone to
view, ponder about and judge.
Good Day

I am not threatening you. I'd honestly like to meet you face to face and see just
what kind of person you really are. I don't want you to be afraid of me. If you
were, you'd be much less likely to take me up on a visit.
Now, Art says that you're a good guy. I have to give some slack for you because
of this.
I cannot believe you would use a tracking number to send something to us knowing
good well you mistrust us and then you just don't have it anymore? I keep ALL of
my tracking numbers and insurance receipts. Don't you? Doesn't everyone who
sells parts do this? I just find it incredibly convinient for you to say you
don't have it anymore when it's a fact that I have never received a return
shipment from you.
You may be able to show a cancelled check, but I can show a receipt for deliver as
well as a confirmation number. Why can I do this? Because I KEEP my paperwork,
no matter how messy it might be.
If you bring the donuts, try krispy kreme off of 4th and the 15fwy along the way.
They have some killer donuts.
If you show up and you're at least half the good guy Art says, I'll give you
$32.50. (which will more than pay for the donuts).
I don't care about your feedback. I don't care about KK's feedback. Feedback is
not the issue here, Don. My issue is with your constant bombardment of cheap
shots as I like to call them at my wife for NO good reason (which you seem to have
stopped at the very moment) and the fact that you seem like a mean, sour guy who's
difficult to work with. Art, don't say it. :)
I was more than willing to take back the Kangaroo board and send back your $32.50,
but I cannot believe you sent one for two reasons: I did not recieve it. You
refused to send me that confirmation number (and this was way back right after you
sent it). It's just something I cannot believe.
I suppose $32 is a small price to pay just to shut you up, but it's gone way
beyond that now. I want my box of donuts first. :)
Have a good day.

We won't be selling on ebay anymore. Done.
If George is still calling me a crook, he's way off base. I was doing
repairs for him as well as others. His son John who's helping them out now
is a computer genius and decided the items we were selling on Ebay were
infact his dads stuff. What he never considered was that George by NO means
whatsoever was the only arcade related dealings I had going on at the time.
Him not knowing this lead him to only one conclusion. I must have obviously
been selling his parts. I was NOT selling any of Georges parts. John
himself said that it just, "looked bad" from their perspective.
I've gone out of my way for 5+ years to find parts for George at a good
price and help him out because he was a good friend. Granted, I've been slow
at times, but then again, there were times when I showed up every day of the
week (except for Sundays) with 20+ boards repaired for him. Available work
was sporadic as time went on, so I tried to clump as much into each trip as
possible. Plans would change, his needs would change (wouldn't need this,
but would need that and the other thing done yesterday and three others done
tomorrow, etc.) I slowed down to a crawl on the repairs because I just
wasn't enjoying them anymore. John came and got the bulk of the boards one
day.
Later, George and I met up, talked about the situation, resolved it to my
understanding, settled up outstanding deals, talked a bit about life,
family, etc. I was offered a chance to continue repairs if I wanted, but I
said NO. We then shook hands and went our own ways. I huge part of my love
for this hobby died that day. I could just spit nails for the crappy ending
to this great friendship.
George has been a close friend of mine for 5+ years and this just kills me
if he thinks I've stolen anything from him.
I'm slow to ship yes. But I don't streal anything. I PAY for the boards I
get. No, I'm not giving up any of my sources.
Have a good day.

Don,
I would refund your money (even though I shouldn't because you're such a
prick), but I will not be threatened into doing so if I don't have the
board returned to me.
You say you sent it to me yadda yadda. Bullshit.
I ask you for a tracking number.
You tell me you threw it away yadda yadda. Bullshit.
You say you threw it away because you thought I was honest yadda yadda.
How many times have you called me a liar and a thief now?
Am I supposed to believe you for a second that you had a tracking number
and then threw it away because you thought I was honest?
Come on, Don.
I have looked at my EBAY feedback. I have over 210 positives and very
very VERY few negatives. I admit some deals went sour, but when I have
to deal with people like you, it's no wonder. You have no tact
whatsoever when it comes to trying to repair a deal. A few nice words
will go a lot further than your foul mouth (fingers in this case). Do
you really think I would rip you off for a stinking $32? If you believe
that, you have no clue.
I will say this again. I do not have a Kangaroo board that you say you
sent back to me 12 days ago. Why would I send any money back to you if
I don't have a board returned from you?
If you can talk to me like a normal human being for a minute, maybe we
could get something done. I'm tired of your threats. I'm tired of your
ranting. I'm tried of your bad words. So, reply, keep it clean and
offer me some kind of resolution within reason.

You dared me. DON DON DON DON DON
Have I annoyed you or something?
I won't shut up. Being quiet is what got me into this mess in the first place.
You said so yourself. Now you want me quiet? Make up your mind.
I don't care to be on your back - or any other part of you, sir.
So I am late with my efforts to fix deals. I agree. I also agree that it was a
bad call. No disagreement, so let's drop it.
The fact remains that I am here and I AM fixing these deals. If you don't like it
because it blows your theory out of the water, boo hoo.
I DO care if people receive their merchandise. Duh. Why do you think I've been
here with solid responses and providing tracking information? All together now.
Because I want people to have their stuff.
What date were your ROMs said to have been sent? If they were sent via priority
mail, I have not only the receipt but the tracking number in my files. A send
date would help me locate it. If sent via regular first class mail, no
confirmation number, but a receipt, yes.
I really don't give a rats terd what anyone else thinks of you at this point in
time, Don. I have no idea why you'd lie. But, with the attitude you have, your
pure contemp, disrespectful words, lack of good nature and the avoidance of
answers and information requested, I can easily come to the conclusion you are not
entirely forth coming with true facts.
You claim to tell it like it is. That's a laugh. Art tells it like it is. YOU
tell it like you want people to believe. I bet you crapped your pants when you
saw that you actually had to deal with someone opposing your endless rantings of
useless cracks about my wife. I won't ever go so low as to say anything about
your wife in the manner you have publicly degraded my wife. Being pissed off is
one thing, but losing all touch with reality and going in head first on some
mindless rampage is another. So, what was that about "ripping people off 1/3rd of
the time, etc, etc, etc" Admit it, Don. You are a certified story-teller.
I will pay you. Give me a Kangaroo board and I swear I will pay you the $32.50
you paid as everyone on this newsgroup as my witness. No board. NO MONEY.
By the way, I'm glad my wife spoke to you that way. After the way you treated
her, I don't blame her for going off on you. You think you can keep talking crap
about someone and not get anything in return for it.
Why don't you show a little professionalism and admit there never was a board sent
back, never a confirmation number and only a quest to drag my wife (and me)
through the mud, so to speak.
Respond and I will too.

Now that is funny coming from they guy who has ''lost'' more packages
in the mail than anyone on earth. There is not a person here who did
not get that line from you or Jan at some point. If it is true, the

thats what collection agencies doo all the time to find deadbeats.

The True facts.
1. u sent me a COMPLETE board - U lied missing parts
2. u sent me replacement roms (1st time) - u lied, never got them and you cant
find the tracking #
3. u sent them again (2nd time) - u lied, i never got them and AGAIN, u cant
find the tracking #
4. I sent the piece of junk board back - u lied and said you never got it...
WTF, why would i lie over $32.50 ?!?!?!?!?!?
Your ebay feedback shows you and your WIFE have a problem with lying!
Item WAS SENT, bla bla bla bla, "Item was lost in the mail" yadda yadda

You're so smug. Check with the Orange County Registers records for a HUGE
news article about the post office that lost a sh*tload of packages all at
the same time. When we're shipping 100+ packages a week (most of the time
more), it's very easy for one mishap at the post office to net a loss of
great proportion for us. Not everyone heard from us that their package was
lost in the mail. Just a semi-large group during one incident....and a
couple here and there (most of which were out of the country deals almost
always without tracking info - because they did not want EXPRESS MAIL).
And, for the record, the "Corona" post office (the Citrus Annex in
particular) is a crappy excuse for a Post Office. If you lived here in this
area, you would understand.
I believe it was better that our customers were told that their packages
were lost rather than NOTHING at all. All of their packages were
subsequently replaced or a refund was issued. Professional? I don't know.
The right thing to do? YES. Do you really care? I doubt it.
Your words are utterly useless. I am taking care of things NOW. Granted,
it's a little late, but NOT a year late. (it's been maybe 1 or 2 months at
most since contact was terminated and my subsequent arrival to take care of
people) You're going to find something wrong no matter what I say. I'd
really like to know who you are and if you really have any legitimate gripe
or if you're just a "bottom-feeder" who lives only for turmoil. You're
appearing to be just like that other guy, just sitting on the side lines
like a vulture, waiting to drop in and say something stupid.
Hey, I hope you have a nice day - you need it.

I did not count the feedbacks. I did not mention the feedbacks. 18 is high. I
agree. Too high.
Don may have a much better ratio, but I don't care how it looks. This guy did NOT
send me a product back so I'm just NOT going to help him. If he had been nice
about it, maybe I could have seen my way of sending his measly $32.50 back, but
with the crap he's been spewing, no way. He can prove he paid. I can prove he
received it. He cannot prove he sent it or I received it. I know credibility must
be fallen back upon and in this area I get dogged. Believe it or do not believe
it. I'm not going to waste effort trying to make you believe it.
Nobody has come to my home. Nobody has served me. Nobody has sued me. Nobody has
sent me(or jan) ANY letter via mail to ask what was going on, etc. I know it's not
up to them to find me, but if these people truly felt ripped off, they would
attempt SOME sort of real tangible contact of some sort. People are always qucik
to yell out words like THIEF and RIPOFF ARTIST when in fact the only problem is
being SLOW to ship or slow to contact. The fact of the matter is that people are
getting their packages - late. End of story.
For some reason, one or two of you seem to think I have been hiding. I have been at
this address for some time. I've been available this entire time at the same
address. Ok, so email contact was cut off 1 month ago. Email contact has been
restored.
Let's just chill out and take care of the matter at hand. I've admitted my wrong
doing by not keeping lines of communication open and being terribly late with
shipments. I don't really care to argue useless points anymore.

Alright. I'll respond to it.
I'll update my statement slightly since you've brought it into the
spotlight. Maybe he did send the package. I'll go that far. HOWEVER,
I did not receive a package from him. He took the time to fill out a
delivery confirmation form and then threw it away (??) before confirming
with us that we had in fact received it. Doesn't that seem at all
peculiar to you or anyone else?
I have no proof he sent anything and nothing but snotty replies to every
attempt to get an answer out of him. If he had been decent enough to
talk to me with even the smallest amount of respect, I would have been
willing to overlook this serious oversight on his part and send him a
refund, eating the cost myself. With his poor attitude (which he whole
heartedly admits to having in a previous posting), there's just no way
I'm going to do anything to help him now. He dug his hole, now he can
hang out in it and eat his box of donuts by himself.
Have a nice day.

and you've really had alot of stuff lost in the mail, then you should
be able to give 10 confirmation numbers that can be looked up on

office but never delivered. Show me what you say is true. Time to put

You know, nearly the entire paragraph above could equally well apply to your

Good luck to you; you have a Hell of a hill to climb, and treating people

Believe me, the $32.50 you owe me has been paid in FULL.
I take great pride knowing i PERSONALLY caused you and your wife grief.
You pointed me out first in your first letter and threatened me with that
"Anytime"? line. Whatever that means......
Thats payment enough.
I realize you will never pay me and "On My Kids Eyes" i sent the board back
with delivery comfirmation.
I may have thrown the slip out, and i fully admit that, but the fact remains i
was ripped off from the start.
The board was stated as "COMPLETE" and shipped to me 4.5 weeks AFTER i sent
payment...........
<< and eat his box of donuts by himself. >>
i dont even like donuts........
Now ADAM, leave me alone or i will restart my personal onslaught on you and
your wifes character.
Everyone in this newsgroup is sick of you and your posts.
How do i know this? I received 25 emails yesterday from other RGVACers and they

I haven't bought anything from you and don't care too, but wouldn't it just
be simpler to send Don $32.50 and be done with it?
I mean, look at it from an economic viewpoint.
Each day Don bitches about his broken board and missing board, etc. is one
more day you look bad to everyone here, including the newbies who are just
now reading this thread.
It would seem to me, that to send him back his money and publicallly post
the USPS tracking number would probably do you a lot more good than trading
potshots with him on this USENET forum, where people can read and reread
your remarks for years (through Deja News).
After all, you send him his money and you post it here and give the tracking
number, what can he say?
Will it cost you potentially $32.50 of your own money (providing the board
never did arrive)? Sure, but is the $32.50 worth the price of screwing up
the goodwill you are trying to reestablish here?
Seems to me that the best thing to do is chalk it up as an expense incurred
through your past mismanagement of deals.
And you cannot say your wife is without blame here. You can complain about
how your wife was treated in emails, etc. but the attitude expressed by
people was directly caused by you and your wife Sir, not anyone else!!!
Had you followed through on your deals when you were supposed to, you and
she wouldn't have received the abuse you did.
So to claim that Don isn't getting a refund because he trashed your wife,
when this whole mess was caused by you and your wife in the first place, to
me, means that you should be blaming yourselves for the trashing she
received, NOT Don!
Take that as you will, but it would seem that the $32.50 refund isn't worth
the continued war that will only serve to make you look bad. Don, doesn't
have to worry about how he looks, he's not the one who screwed with everyone
for months.
Just my take on this.
Exner Fan
John Butler
Adam's home and what he is saying about boxes of boards is entirely
accurate. I defended him before the whole KrazyKatt thing happened, and I
saw how Kevin was treated when he defended him. So flame away, but I always
had a nice chat with him and was quite in awe of his amount of test
equipment etc. I only dealt with him once, but I knew, and still know, that
if I dealt with him again that all would be OK.
I don't think I have wronged anyone on this group, so take that for what it
is worth. Good Luck Adam please try to make your customers happy,

after my money order was cashed, which, amazingly enough is NOT the worst
delivery time I have experienced from eBay.
The Good: Adam shipped them when he said he did, they were packed well,
(monitor glass) and the reality is he didn't HAVE to send them at all. I
had pretty much resigned myself to being out $62.00, and wasn't planning on
traveling from Ohio to California to collect it. (or to file a lawsuit)
The Bad: I won a "Mint" Starcastle monitor glass, and this was not "Mint",
by anyone's definition. (Also, the custom chips I also bought don't seem to
work, although that COULD be my problem, but it's not likely.) I imagine
this was yet another miscommunication between Jan and him. I wouldn't have
paid $35 for a beat-up monitor glass, unless it was for a Zwackery. :-)
So... my M.S.S.S.S rating is down the middle, maybe leaning towards unhappy.
It could have been worse; I could have gotten nothing. If it had been any
other transaction, I'd be pissed off, I suppose.

Apology accepted. Auction item received and complete as described.
Here is my two cents worth:
Reguardless of the reasons for the delay, they are trying to make good on
their commitments. Slow or not, all items will probably be delivered at
some point. I'm sure that everyone can relate to being overwhelmed by
something in their life. This is supposed to be fun, not life and death
over some aged arcade parts!
Hope everyone gets what they deserve!

I got my items too (last Spring) after waiting a while (and paying a
lot for Priority Mail shipping). But you would think after selling on
Ebay for at least 6 months a person would learn to not post so many
items for auction if they can't handle the "overwhelming" load. At
least I would.

I emailed Adam about the BAD Defender cpu board his wife sent me as GOOD and
he responded quickly. He said I could send it back and he would swap me out
at his exspense. I said kool, but i wanna make sure my problems lies in JUST
the cpu board and I also will wait a week so you can get caught up with
mailouts. Well I have emailed him twice since then with NO response. I dont
want to send the board off to him until he responds and so now I am back to
waiting on them to make it right... I'll keep the group posted as to the
outcome. Has anyone else got him to swap out boards he sold as tested
working good that were recieved bad?
