Blacklisted Sellers List


by Kingpin

This list is of members who sold through GBFans and Proptopia who have since been banned. Whilst few of them have actually sold anything through this site, I felt it important to keep people up to date on those prop makers who should be avoided. As AJ Quick said in the versions on his site and Sean Bishops, these blacklisted members have stolen from their fellow community members through the act of recasting. A definition of recasting can be found at the bottom of the post. Please support good sellers in our community by not purchasing from these people:

Videobob - tcbtexas - Bob Moseley - Has been banned for recasting Proton Pack shells purchased from Ross Arbuckle. He claims his shells are 100% authentic straight from Universal Studios and therefore his recasts are ok, however his shell was purchased from someone else's copies, which makes them recast. In addition there is some discrepancy as to whether or not the shells are actually related to the real Proton Packs used in the movie, having provided very little proof. Furthermore Videobob has been banned from The RPF (and numerous other sites) for recasting, and has a long history of recasting and stealing Back to the Future parts from others (even from the actual BTTF cars at Universal). He should be avoided by all costs and is by far the #1 person on his blacklist to avoid.

Jeremy Moore - Recast numerous parts from many respectable sellers. He has also ripped off many people purchasing items from him in the past by taking money and not delivering products. Jeremy should be avoided at all costs, and has been banned since 2006.

Rhett Martin - Hotshot - hobby-farm-models (ebay) - Recast proton gun grips from another seller, and gun knobs from Phantom50. He also sold low quality parts that often required more work then they were worth. Poor customer service track record and has taken money from several people without delivering products as promised. Most recently he attempted to sell digital copies of the OMNI cover against the wishes of the item's current owner. Has been banned since early 2008.

Also has a eBay username of “hobby-farm-models”. For examples of what he sells see this PDF: http://www.gbfans.com/Rhett.pdf

Charles Walker - PropFan - Has recast numerous parts over the past several years, and has lied about it when confronted. While some of his parts are of good quality, he has stolen the work of others to profit off of them. This seller should be avoided at all costs. Most recently (July 2008) he copied the work of user namebrand to sell recasts of his aluminum Proton Gun trigger tip.

wiggle_pickle_productions - Please see “Charles Walker” above. They are the same person as PropFan.

Aaron Lincoln (eBay) - Recast St.LouisKid's PKE wings and continually changes his screenname to avoid being caught. Numerous eBay negative feedbacks on several accounts. Please be aware of this seller specifically regarding PKE kits. His location is usually in Florida or now Hollywood, CA… look out for this seller.. and as always do not buy from him.

midwestpropshop (eBay) - Recast St.LouisKid's PKE wings that are highly flawed with airbubbles. This kind of thing happens when items are recast, and recast poorly.

Loveusmokey (eBay) - Please see “midwestpropshop” above. They are the same person as loveusmokey.

145will (eBay) - Same as “midwestpropshop” and “loveusmokey” above.

charleswallacedesign (eBay) - Has been banned from most major prop sites due to issues involving not getting prop replicas to the people he'd sold them too, as well as using an eBay auction to publically attack community member Ken Huegel. He sells metallic Proton Pack labels that are larger than they should be.

Xenepp - Also known as someweirdwhitestuff or scoobyisadog on eBay. Recasted Sean Bishop (Venkman71) Proton Pack shell for several years and has ripped off many users with his Night Vision Goggle frames.

Sebastien Clavet / 88MPH Studios / zamuler (eBay) - Took thousands of dollars of pre-orders for the Ghostbusters Legion Hard Cover book. No longer does business, but he should be avoided if he does reappear in the community.

Joseph Kerezman - Also known as Captain America or CostumeCostumeCostume on eBay. Keeps a poor level of contact with his customers, gives delivery dates for costume orders which are never met, has taken money for products not delivered and has a “no refunds” policy.

Mike Brewer - Believed to also be Broc Tickle, James Cartha, Yvonne C and others which have been mentioned in the process of his dealings. Mike's dealings involved items being subject to severe delay with little to no updates, items that never arrived to some buyers, and the employ of sockpuppet accounts and proxy servers to return to this forum after he was banned. It has recently come to light that he'd recasted nick-a-tron's Booster Frame and was selling the copies as his own work.

Joseph Scaibia -Banned numerous times from Ghostbusters Fans. Helped Mike Brewer get back on Ghostbusters Fans and rip off more members.

Jesse Gerst - Crossarm-props-and-replicas (eBay) - Caught recasting resin Ghost Trap pieces he'd purchased from MultiMediaMayhem. When confronted, he presented photos to try prove he'd made them himself, however the photographed source parts bore no relation to the parts he was selling. For more in-depth information, visit his thread in the feedback forum.

Robert DeWitt II - Zombie Amusements (eBay) - Caught recasting resin Proton Gun grips he purchased from MultimediaMayhem. When confronted he presented photos of masters that he claimed the parts were cast from, but were unlike the parts he was selling. He also stole several photographs from the Ghostbusters Fans Shop early on to try and sell parts. His personal website also plagiarizes a terms of service from another website. He has been blacklisted since May 25th 2011.



What is recasting?

Kingpin
The exact offense is that someone has taken another builder's product, copied it without permission, claimed it is their own work and is intent to make a profit off of the original builder's back. It completely destroys the idea of a community if you'll do that to one of the community members, and it seems the only fitting choice of action to eject the person who damaged or destroyed the spirit of the community from the community.

I would like to keep this list as accurate as possible.. and updated as frequently as possible. Please post in this thread with edits and adjustments as things change and more evidence is posted.

Well, I cant totally agree with what your saying there 100% because I only recasted Trap Knobs from Phantom50 “Not numerous people”

Two, I never ripped any one off, You forget to add the part were they wasnt happy and “was” refunded… So I can see why I am on a black list but you guys stretch it out longer than it actually is, ha ha

I may have mislead a few and made it seam like I was further along on theyre orders than I actually was but I done said it once and will say it again, I would rather get yelled at for beeing late than to send out “JUNK”

One more thing, I GARANTEE, you'll find way more people that praise my old work and what I used to do than you will people that think they got ripped off or whatever, No one got ripped off, Only “disappointed” cause I either took to long and gave them a refund or I wouldnt sell them anything

I'm not totally bitching I'm just saying thingz are slightly beeing stretched out of proportion here… Cause honestly I have bigger fish to fry so..

And “YES”, My head grew 3 inches in girth when I found my name was on top of the list at #1, LOL

I'm not arguing because I wanna sell somethin here, I can still sell it and have people that want the stuff, with or without the help of these prop forums, I just dont care to do it no more, and if you dont love what you do then your work will suffer, so I forward them on to others that i know who do good work

I'm mainly here to get the scoop on the possibility of a new GB movie and other GB news! Wich is why I should be here and for the right reason to be here!

I'm stayin out of this thread before i get banned! Because its partially BS

So it's BS that someone from 88MPH stole thousands of dollars from ghostbusters fans? This thread was created so people like that can be avoided, and to make people aware of such people.

This is not a matter that's up for discussion. You recasted someone's work. It doesn't matter how much you've recasted, whether it's just one item or several, people who recast parts and sell them without permission are added to the Blacklist.

Two, I never ripped any one off, You forget to add the part were they wasnt happy and “was” refunded… So I can see why I am on a black list but you guys stretch it out longer than it actually is, ha ha

I'd appreciate it if you could take this a little more seriously. At any rate, just how trustworthy the things you say are were already in question, and in my mind called into further question by you openly admitting you had lied about how far along a prop was toward completion below:

I may have mislead a few and made it seam like I was further along on theyre orders than I actually was but I done said it once and will say it again, I would rather get yelled at for beeing late than to send out “JUNK”

That's irrelevant. I was pleased with the quality of PropFan's non recast parts, and with Xeneppe's non recast parts, it doesn't override what they did and that what they is a bannable offense. Regardless of whatever parts you've made that were of good quality, you did the deed and got caught, and were banned for it.

And “YES”, My head grew 3 inches in girth when I found my name was on top of the list at #1, LOL

We're not ego stroking, the people on the list aren't listed by infamy, so you're not top dog.

I'm not arguing because I wanna sell somethin here, I can still sell it and have people that want the stuff

Not here you can't. If you post a topic to sell something then it will be locked.

No, it isn't.

Listening to Moore's phony “I'm just here to have a good time” attitude where he dismisses the fraud he's committed is like listening to Blagojevich being interviewed on Letterman. One dismissive wave of the hand after another while he FAILS TO LEARN A THING about what he did wrong in the first place. The only “happy” sellers he has are the one-timers who buy from eBay and don't know anything about his ethics. If there were a warning label, I'd think they'd buy differently.

Your spelling and grammar are generally accepted as a reflection of who you are. Moore's are a mess and filled with errors. I rest comfortably knowing that a guy like that who gets into small trouble here, usually lacks the common sense to stay out of larger trouble later in life. I only regret we most likely won't be there to see it.

If it's such an honor to be banned from certain forums, why do you occasionally come begging to be let back in there? Any reason you omitted that part from your backpedaling story?
