Anyone here dealt with Instant Karma? If so did you have any problems?
His username on ebay is puzzlecolor1982, he's got a large Laser/Battle Beasts lot up for sale:
ebay. The thing is, I believe he just ripped me off. His real name is Aryo, lives in Singapore, before he lived in Indonesia. I've dealt with him before, like 7-8 years ago, with no problem whatsoever.

Now he offered me a mint skullgrotess with weapon for my clear gator and clear carp. I accepted, and sent away the beasts. It now has been 3 weeks since he claimed he sent the beast and I haven't seen the skullgrotess yet. He does not respond to my messages.

And now in a lot on ebay, I see my clear beasts and three (3!) skullgrotess! I don't think he sent the beast to me, and now he's getting rid of his entire collection, a bit weird isn't it?!

Aryo, if you read this, it's not too late to complete the transaction.

I moved this to the Sandbox to keep the BB section clean. I don't want to see this turned into a flame war. :huh: If it does in the trash it goes. I really hope the package is just late, sometimes international packages can take a long time. Good luck dude!

It's not my intention to turn this into a flame war. I just think it's important to inform everybody here about the situation.
I hope that no one from the board bids on this auction!

Well Andrew, SEE ! I'm not just a $hit talker. Ya it IS weird that he's selling off his entire collection.I'm pretty sure he's ripped off others as well (won't mention names). This just proves all the 'bashing' of him I've been doing is deserved. Have'nt seen him around much,he's obviously done with BB/LB. I hope nobody else got suckered into dealing with him. I'd be pissed beyond belief if a Skull Grotess was basicly stolen from ME. Instant Karma=BIG BOO !

He stole from me in 2000. I sent him 3-400 dollars for vs set, before anyone knew what a vs. set was and he stopped replying to my emails and just ignored me. He has been a known thief in the battle beast community for many years.

Hopefully this gets worked out, but it isn't sounding too hopeful.

I did notice that the auction has Western Union as the only payment option. That in itself should send up red flags to anyone looking at it.

Anyone else had problems or are in the middle of a suspicious deal with him?

Even if you are 100% right and dead on.....turning every post into an "I HATE instant_karma" thread is annoying and gets old. Your "message of warning" was lost and it seemed to be just a vendetta against him. If you didnt like the way he did business you should have done what karloscar did and start a thread on it, or add it into his feedback. :rolleyes:

he bought a sea panic and dragon seahorn from me (which could possibly be the ones he has listed in the auction?) he pd quickly and kept good communication and has me holding a flying dragon and scope cougar for him, but hasn't responded to any PM's lately. i'll give him the benefit of the doubt but if after a week i still don't hear anything they are going up for grabs.

Karma's ebay lot has mysteriously dissapeared ! Ebay probably pulled it. I told you this guy's shady.He comes here and does a few deals to get guys like Andrew on their side,then they turn scam-artist once they get an oppurtunity. His Ebay account is stuck on 10 feedback,and I guaranttee it won't get any higher.

Mys situation is similar to Lazzy's in teh sense that im holding some thing for him.

Havent lost anything but he is and has been MIA with regard to his stuff for a LOOOOONG time.

Ill leave it at that as it looks like i havent suffered anything other than a loss of time.

I mailed ebay about this matter, so I guess thats why they pulled the auction. :lol:
Feels good to know that he isn't able to sell off his collection, not here and not on ebay!

Sorry you got ripped off dude. How much is a ticket from Sweden to Singapore? I'd give the guy some unscheduled dental work! :D

I actually have thought about that ticket to Singapore, just to see how surprised he'd be if I stood there outside his apartment... :lol: A ticket costs $1660, if I had the money it would have been worth it!
Anyway, I've filed a report about this matter to the Singapore police, hopefully it will give some kind of a result.

True. When I made a port visit there in 2006, we got the whole lot of it: don;t chew gum, flush the toilets, etc. etc, or they will cane you.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was about a John Lennon song. Hopefully this...erm, person will get him some "Instant Karma!"
