Beware of Lousy Trader

I don't know why I'm posting this only now. I should have done this way back.

In my defense, I have posted my bad experience at the Wings900 message board:

although I did not name the nasty little vermin. Well, I did but on home territory:

As I said in the previous post, people at W900 tend to be pricks. And this guy, Alvin has a lot of them as his loyal customers. Heck, he even has a 90%+ trader rating. Well, at least not 100% so we know not all of them were quite satisfied.

During my latest trip to Hong Kong, I found out that I was at one point in his "VIP" list. And that he preferred foreigners in this list as he could easily "jack up" his prices. Well, I won't bite that anymore, Alvin. I already know you sell second-hand models as brand-new, and that you have access to the backdoor of factories.

FYI, I reported this guy to the HK Consumer Council, Tourism Board and the HK Police. All wrote back with a file reference and urged me to file claims at the HK Claims Tribunal. I notified this guy to give him one final chance to rectify himself and what do you know, he all of a sudden decided to send me a refund in full!

If he weren't guilty of any wrongdoing as he claims, then why was he so fearful the moment I mentioned the Police and the Small Claims Tribunal? Guilty? I knew it way before - from the time he kept giving all these excuses why he can't replace the model and why he can only refund so much.

Stinking little rascal! He is at it again:

I pity his victims...
