SHITLIST!!

Rip-offs. Bad traders. And the like.

Costa Stoios, relocated in Germany, owner of Iron Pegasus Records.

Once I sent him 40 Euro’s well hidden inside a letter, for the order of some stuff, but I never got anything. Then I e-mailed him and he said he never got the letter.

Before this shit I received the mailorder list of his label, but I had never done an order because I heard he took too much time to deliver orders or sometimes he never sent stuff after having received money (yes, it wasn’t that intelligent act by myself!).

The guy ripped me off another time before, back in ’97 or ’98: I sent him 5 dollars for a copy of his ‘zine and I got nothing. Then I wrote him again, but no answer.

Super Records, relocated in Florence, Italy. (I avoid to post the link to their website here...)

I ordered three mega-rare Dead Can Dance Lp’s from them, for a total of about 100 Euro’s (they were priced rispectively 36,00€, 31,50€ and 18€ (yez, they are probably of the JEWISH race...) + 15€ (!!) for postal charges) since I had visited their web-site and I was looking for those records from a lot of time.

I received all the three records with the covers damaged because they just put the records in a plastic bag inside an artisan carton box (later they said the carton box was “apposite” for such expeditions!!).

I kindly asked them for a substition, but they pulled my leg saying the problem wasn’t of their own and the fault was of the express courier company (before ordering I asked them another way of expedition because 15€ was too much...).

They say they sell records since 10 years (I don’t know if it’s true anyway) and that they hadn’t ever had any lamentations, but I have all my doubts about this.

Claudio Marinelli, relocated in Rome, Italy.

I seen a list from this guy and I asked for a single 7” trade. Before agreeing he e-mailed me a kind of questionary (!!) about the condition of my record and by my side it was fucking immacolated. So he asked me to pack the 7” well in a way that the travel didn’t damage the cover, so I obviously did as always do. Probably the packaging was too perfect because he then e-mailed me again saying that a corner of the cover was damaged.

He so sent me back the record, but in reality there were three damaged corners: probably he extracted the record from the package without making attention and then said it had a damaged corner (and not three) for having the excuse to send the ruined 7” back and undone the agreed trade.

By my side I can say that if the record was already damaged it had no sense to send it to the guy after that questionary stuff, and the packaging was truly perfect.

Make attention because this guy has a lot of vynil trade activity within death/black metal stuff.

Nicola Costantini, relocated in Padova (Padua), Italy.

I had seen the list of this guy on a italian web-site and then we agreed for a vynil trade, but before I asked him about the condition of its record and he said it was ok: no scratches, no shit...

In reality it had a lot of scratches and was really unplayable. I asked him a substitution, but after some e-mails, he disappeared.
