Reason: Made an agreement to buy my ticket, and I send him raw master files. That agreement was met. He then argued that I had made another source I was obligated to send it to him, I was not. At the time I was nice enough to give him a copy under one condition. Not to trade it out to a certain person. 1 hour later he turns around and offers it to that one person I said not too. Trade/Contract was voided after that. I severed all ties for breaking the rules we agreed upon. Now I am currently listed as a "Bad Trader" on his website. Owell.

Reason: This guy is one of the worst traders. This guy buys shows, tickets from other filmers for their masters and puts them in a vault. Hoards them. Then when asked to trade unreelased show for show he only wants money in return. So he buys other peoples shows and sells them! He is now banned on TTD (tapetradersden) for selling.

Reason: This one almost had me. Contacted me first for a very rare trade. Offers "LOSSY" RT shows in return. His [2011-05-24] The Forum,Inglewood, CA Los Angeles 3,97 GB [RT] Show is (AVI, LOSSY). Then tries to offer other shows I said no. Then tells me if we trade "I" have to send first after he contacted me first. Watch out "SOAD" hoarders/traders. This guy is another fraud.

Reason: Another noob. See's me requesting artwork for my T.S.O. show i shared, wanted to trade, so i said okay why not. Sends me a list of ALL COVERART. Never in my life have i ever received that in my 15 years of trading experience. So naturally i said no, nevermind. Then he gets mad and asks if im asking for more artwork. I said why does it matter, I don't want to trade. Then he replies with rudeness. And kept sending random emails of swearing at me. Therefore, bad trader.

Reason: Most annoying person a live. Most annoying trader, most horrible trader in the world. Please avoid at all costs. Most of his shows on his list are fake or lossy. All YouTube sourced bullshit. Claims to have real camcorder 1080 footage then sends you iphone/cell phone footage. Claims to have complete lossless Disturbed shows. Sends you half lossless and half lossy. Claims to have 10/30/2001 Worcester, MA SOAD show and doesn't. I have the complete master and he lies about knowing the filmer. Claims they are 2 filmers, there wasn't. Claims it was the same filmer @ East Ruthurford show, it wasn't. Biggiest liar in the game. Please advoid. Thanks.!

Reason: First email, I said he had nothing I wanted, I was looking for more masters at the time. Then he pushed, So I said I do not have much time for a regular trade. He pushed again so I said fine, I made a pick of 10 shows I struggled to find. He sent his first, I got them fairly quickly. I told him I have to go away for work as I sometimes do. Then a week later he said an email, i responded quickly. Another email few days later, again I responded quickly. All emails go to my phone. I said I will be home soon (around st. patties day) which I worked on. But had a break after. During the middle of work I get this harrasment email!

"Hey Crook , you like ripping off people ... you piece of shit !!! ... i 'm done being nice to you did a little research on you ... not very hard to find warnings about you http://semsang.orgfree.com/index.php?page=traders. i don't even care about the discs anymore ... it's probably shit anyway you 're pretending that you 're oh ! ... so busy with work ... my ass !! i bet you 're sitting all day on your lazy asscrooks will always be crooks ... i 'll make sure i 'll warn everyone of my traders about you."

Well the thing is i never posted why im a Bad Trader on Semsang page, But if you his, There was no trade made. We agreed to an online trade morning of thanksgiving day. I said go ahead and start uploading as it will take you a long time (if you want), I'm running out the door for a family dinner. I come back with his nonsense screaming and attitude, So I just said nevermind to all that. And he posted me on his list. Owell. It was only for 1 show.

Anyways while Martin said I wasn't working, I was home being a lazy ass, I sent him a phone picture of my work to proove where I was "Here's a picture I just took working , Ur reading a trade that never happened 4 years ago But thanks for the email , I can now save 20 discs .welcome to my had trader page, take care. IMAG1454.jpg"

"how about a little meeting you & me .. face to face i think we have some explaining to do to each other ... when would be a good time for you ?"

See you when u get here , I travel for work so if in not here , give me a call , thanks

"i just wanna be clear on something if i do come knockin at your door it is to have nothing more than just a conversation ...i wanna hear it from your mouth what is it that you gain when you don't send the discs that you owe ... 3 dollars or less ... what is 3 $ in your life ? i read some parts on your site about some bad traders that you had that i didn't read before and i realized that you had that experience too ... and i kinda laughed at what you said about mrjackbootlegs from brazil cause i traded with him too so i know what you mean ... so if i understand ... you got so many bad traders before ... that now you wanna get even by stealing good traders like me ... but what do you gain ? "

You won't come knockin, I hear the same shit from you whining kids at least once a month, You have my address, you have no excuse Stop emailing me, You lost your chance to get your discs with your rude & childish email. Good bye.

Reason: Contacted me for a trade. I didn't really have any interest. Again insisted on trading and offering to do a 20+ show trade. We both uploaded the first time instantlly but my server went down and all uploades within 24hrs were not added. So we did it again but I went away for work as I usually do. I did upload everything but 3 of my masters I have not authored. After a short time later, I started getting harrassing emails, I responded all of them saying I will upload when I get home. At which point i asked in a forum we were on if anyone had unreleased Metallica shows. He responded yes..He sent me a list of "unreleased" metallica shows yet they were released. So that was an obvious lie but whatever I let it go. Then he went behind my back to get the 2 masters from a metallica trader I was after (which he had no interest in those bands) just to throw it in my face and threaten me further "oh you will never see these shows". Okay, after being threaten again I ignored all emails and ended the trade 3 masters short. A week later, He emailed me again saying we will trade the 2 shows i wanted that he got behind my back if i upload my masters, In which I did for him to turn around and say "Nope, I don't need/see anything I want". And I know I have shows/masters he want. So theres more lies. I would suggest not trading with some one like this, a dishonest person who goes behind your back to other traders just to threaten you in emails.

Reason: We had a couple of good small trades in the past. This guy contacted for another trade which i wasn't trading then, and he had nothing to offer. I had a rare filter show he wanted and offered me 10 shows for it. I said fine, I transfered it off vhs, and waited for him to send. Then i got a new filter master. Again he said he would offer 5 more shows for it. So i agreed. Middle of sending he asked why I havnted uploaded Filter yet. I said i was waiting on him as he contacted me. Well, in good faith i uploaded disc 1 of the new Filter show I got, then he got mad saying he uploaded 10+ shows and got nothing. That's because HE DIDN"T FINISH THE TRADE WE AGREED UPON. So then he got angry and sent rude/un-english messages to me, i ignored them and wrote him off. SO he decides to go on random forums and post how i took a bunch of shows (that he agreed to send me) and didn't send anything (because he didn't finish the trade). Whatever, Take it as a bad trader or not. Dude is a whack job. Makes trades and doesn't follow through, then has a child tantrum. Owell.

Reason: So here's another retard. A TSO (trans-siberian orchestra) trader. Originally this asshat was one of the worst leechers ever encountered on DIME. Tried to diss me an others day after day after day, but failed. Eventually i tossed in the towel, comment sections went on for days with his rants haha. Months afterwards i get an email saying he don't want to fight and blah blah i said fine. So i filmed TSO last winter and posted the new covers to his email, he praised them, loved my footage/artwork cool. Then filmed again in april, asking me to share, begging for my footage, I said maybe and haven't heard from him since. I filmed TSO again in November sharing samples and saying it's for trade for other TSO i don't have. He responded with I'm getting footage from the same show but I don't care to trade anymore, I said ok no problem. I filmed again a month later, again i shared samples/screens. This time it angered him saying why am i sending him stuff he can't have. I said you could have it, you told me you didn't cared to trade, it was your choice. Then went on a rant.
"Well thats the hoop (master 4 master)....EVERYONE i know does nothing of a kind....Thats just your thing and maybe the people your used to trading with do....I dont have the master files nor do i care to keep them once the DVD is created.."
Well, as "EVERYONE" i know, and has been the standard in trading for over 20 years, a master4master trade is for filmers trading their "master" for another "master. It does not have to be "master files of any kind". But people like this (non-filmers) ruin the community and always expect shit for free, but forget where shows come from.
JIMBO: "What the fuck is your problem?...I cant say it any clearer....I DONT CARE ABOUT THE SHOWS YOU HAVE....."
Well, hmm... other emails I have can prove that statement wrong.
JIMBO: "We have enough footage coming in to not have to worry about you....."
Yes sir, gotta love them amatuer digi/cell phone recordings, but hey, it's got external audio so it's okay haha. So many of them, they just flood DIME with 1-2 recordings a year, oh boy! So in conclusion, this guy is a retard who doesn't understand the standard of filming with a real camcorder, and standard trading practices.

Reason: This guy downloads lossy youtube shows, encodes them to DVD, authors them and saying he got them in a trade. He also takes other people's work, re-authors them, claiming as his own. Fair Warning!
