    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    Nope. Guess again. You can call me Tomodachi until you figure it out if you like. :D

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    It's not a second account Ryo. I'll give you a clue though. I know you, your brother Chaz, Arby, Neptune2Venus, Mangaminx, a couple more from around here that disappeared a few years ago (e.g. Bonnie and Neko) and I even knew White Rabbit. Is he still around? :D

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    Nice troll there Ryo. Not up to the standards of Neptune2Venus, but still nice. Have you sorted your hotmail account yet? Don't want to be getting any more weird spam from it thanks.

    Read the OP post. I already have. I'm not the only one that has either.

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    Because you might rage and break your monitor by throwing pies at it? Not a very scary internet threat that. You had a bit of a lame try at taking the thread off topic too. You aren't very good at trolling are you? You and Project-2501 are both in denial that you got mugged off...

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    Aside from literally being worse off for it since you gave your money to a criminal for a physical item that is worthless. If you feel that you have to turn to the dark side on music and so on then you may as well leech off the net for nothing. At least that way the criminals don't get to line...

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    They are the same thing. Unlicensed goods fall under the heading of counterfeit. There's a link a page or two back which explains that. You can also ask Consumer Direct if you want UK specific confirmation of it. Jayme, you can talk about both. Tokyo Toys aren't the only one that has...

    Tokyo Toys and counterfeit goods

    Tokyo Toys are pretty much the most well known seller of anime/manga related merchandise in the UK. Unfortunately they don't just sell legitimate goods, they carry a mixture of legal and counterfeit goods. The guy who calls himself Hideki (one of the owners of TTs, and it's not his real...

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    It's the patronising then. You are assuming that everyone here also reads the NEO forum. Funny how you keep assuming stuff and being extremely unhelpful towards everyone else who might not know the same things as you or who might be trying to help other people. At least you managed to...

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    You have multiple personalities or you are patronising everyone by presuming to talk for them Durial666? Are you happy that Tokyo Toys are selling counterfeit goods? I'm trying to help people avoid getting ripped off by getting information out. What exactly are you doing here?

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    Uhoh. You do know that TokyoToys is one of the worst offenders for selling counterfeit goods don't you? There are even people complaining to NEO magazine to try to get them to stop promoting Tokyo Toys because they sell counterfeit goods. You can see for yourself here...

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    Great. Stop there. That's all there is to it. Yesterday you were trying to berate me for just having appeared on the forum. Now you not only expect me to know the opinions of everyone who uses the forum, but you are also speaking for all of them. That's the source of your problem. I am...

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    Apology accepted. :) The sale of R1 DVDs at the Expo is illegal. I've already covered it in previous posts. I should point out that even though most everyone here has been assuming that I have just talking about anime DVDs I have seen a variety of live action American and European made...

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    No idioteva you have misread what I wrote. I have not said that R1 DVDs are all fake. As far as I am aware most if not all of the R1 DVDs that have been sold at previous Expos were the proper US releases. Make the distinction here between those, and the kind of things like counterfeit...

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    http://www.otakunews.com/piratefaq.php You might find that to be useful Stuart. It's a US based site, and if you want to confirm the UK legal position you can do so by contacting Consumer Direct. Don't fall for the old 'It is unlicensed not a fake' rubbish. Unlicensed goods are illegal...

    Lol. No, I don't work for the Expo or any related company. http://www.mcmexpogroup.com/forums/view ... 9&p=519550 That's one of several threads on the Expo forum from people complaining about dodgy goods at the Expo. Scroll down to the post by Admin-2. That's the Expo organisers...

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    *Facepalm* Guys. Can you tell the difference between buying and selling? I have not told you that it is illegal to buy Region 1 DVDs. You are perfectly entitled to buy and import them (within reason) to your heart's content. What I have told you is that if the Expo is going to be...

    How to avoid being ripped off by dodgy traders at the Expo

    Guys, you are spectacularly missing the point here. If the Expo is going to be clean it all needs to be clean. No making exceptions so that you can ride your hobby horse about hating censorship or whatever. That's why I mentioned the R1 DVDs. If it is going to make you bawwwww to...

    The following passage is taken directly from the BBFC website www.bbfc.co.uk “ A foreign DVD offered for sale in the UK is likely to be illegal under the Video Recordings Act 1983 unless its content (including any additional material) has been classified by the BBFC. “ The DVD must also be...
