Guys i think i got tricked...
Have any of you bought from iknowshannonmoore over ebay?
I got 4 customs from him 2 weeks ago and since i paid he only sends me 1 email every 4 days saying his computer has issues and that he still didnt have the chance to ship the stuff.
Before i paid when we were negotiating the price, his computer was perfect and i got like 8 mails a day from him...
I dont think he is a member here and least he says he isnt...

Oh my I'm sure this will start a huge fight thread but I too had issues with him. I think almost everyone that dealt with him has at one point or another. I got the ' I'M GOING ON VACATION LINE AND ' I HAVE A SICK FAMILY MEMBER IN THE HOSPITAL LINE. Almost all of the customizers on here will stick up for him but the guys just plain shady and I mean shady. You'll probably get your stuff but on his time table and when it benefits him and only him. I think what he does is puts a 'stock' photo of one custom on his ebay pics then when you buy said fig he then makes it. I can see the point in that if it doesnt sell he's stuck with that fig but you just paid for a fig that he probably didnt make yet and now you will have to wait for it. Which is kinda wrong he should put that in his description before you buy. I dealt with him numerous times and every time the delay and excuses were longer and longer. Oh well thats my opinion and I'm entitled to it. You do know he's been banned on here for quite awhile now. He lied to you when he said he wasnt a member here he's none other then the infamous gatecitysinner.

Well technically he "isnt" a member here. He's been banned and deleted so many times he probably doesnt have an active account. However he was also tagged as a bad trader here as well. Ive dealt with him but didnt get exactly what I paid for and had to wait nearly 6-8 months for it. All I can say is good luck

Also please remember all the delays, lies and nonsense you are going through when you leave him feedback, you'll be happy and excited if and when you get your figs but dont leave him good feedback if he's jerking you around, I did and I still kick myself for it.

I'd get the money back off him,
unless he's going to fax you the figures, he dosen't need the computer working to post an item.
if he comes up and delivers then pay again of course,
but it looks like he's pulling one.

wow nice to know i didnt order anything from him. i spoke to him over ebay about a bunch of customs and he quoted me prices. i told him id let him know. looks like i dodged a bullet. i thought it was weird that his bids would end and someone would win and then the next day that same figure was up for auction again.

He used to post here as Gate City Sinner.
I got at least 3 customs from him with no issues.
Then after sending him a bunch of stuff for my last order, he stopped speaking to me, and told others who were speaking to him on my behalf that we had no such deal.
That was over a year ago, and I still have no Dave Taylor as I was promised.
He also uses the name Trent Wylde, which is supposedly his wrestling gimmick name.
Get your money back if you can.

There should be a banner at the top of every page on here saying DO NOT DEAL WITH IKNOWSHANNONMOORE.
Get everyone that has ever been ripped off by him to post on here and then go to Internet fraud office with the list and get this f$&kwit locked up.
He is a giant piece of scum.

Exactly what happened to me. I got 2 customs from him and had no issues, then he started making all these excuses up and just refused to complete our deal. Former Classifieds MOD, Nelly tagged him and yes, he has been banleted a billion times and will continue to be. As far as his ebay auctions, dont buy from him. Just look at his spotty feedback there. Specialone, I am sorry you got swindled. I wish ebay would toss his ass from there. He is but a black mark on ebay. I would file an ebay claim ASAP and try and get your money back. He always has an excuse for why he cant send his part of the deal. More than likely, he sold customs of figures he doesnt have done. He needs to sit down and do the customs, but he is probably swamped and cant handle it all. Thats why it takes so long to get them. And if you contact him too many times in his mind, he just screws you over. |

Absolute arsehole. Took him 2 months to make my custom and then when it was received it was packaged kind of crappily. Surprised it got here in one piece.

He sent me an email shortly after i opened this thread saying he shipped it today... Actually it seems like it was his friend in his behalf who sent the email cause he is still with no computer... |

He sent me an email shortly after i opened this thread saying he shipped it today... Actually it seems like it was his friend in his behalf who sent the email cause he is still with no computer... I wouldn't take much notice of that. He would tell me he sent my order and then weeks later when it hadn't arrived he would say he had to go out of town and he would send when he got back etc etc - that would keep going on and on until I abused the heck out of him and he has ignored my emails since. From my experience and from a few others I've chatted too it appears when taking custom orders his plan is .... 1. He lets you make the order 2. Tells you it will take 2 or 3 weeks to make and that he will send you progress pics 3. When you email him weeks later asking for progress pics he tells you that he has had to order in new parts and it would take longer 4. And more excuses from there, from out of town to in hospital etc etc Just lie after lie. His whole aim is to lead you on for more than 45 days so you can't make a claim with paypal or eBay. I know for a fact he has friends on here who run off and tell him everytime a thread is made about him. He is scum and I honestly urge everyone on here that has been f&*ked over by him to come together and get him in trouble with the law. Because what he is doing is breaking the law. It is internet fraud. He needs to be stopped. I know I will never get the money i paid him back but why the hell should he pocket my 200 bucks. |

You put it on ebay and start selling it. Almost all his customs are listed several times over and over and he isnt the only one. I see people doing this constantly. |

Ya know I always wondered if any wrestlers found out about customs being sold online of their likenesses they would be able to sue for unreceived compensation? My wifes a lawyer I'll ask her about iT. I bet Sting, Magnum T.A. and Randy Savage would be interested to know how much money is being made from their likenesses, I mean none of his customs sell for that much anyway usually between 100-150$ from what I seen on his feedback forum. Oh well everyone needs to start somewhere I guess.

Kudos on that idea. |

I didnt know Wrestlingfigs.com was a place where people ran businesses? I stand corrected. Wouldnt want to hurt anyones side businees, I would much rather see kids get ripped off of their hard earned money by some unscrupulous business man. And before we get out of hand I dont think this thread should apply to everyone on here, I dealt with other customizers on here and they were stellar and professional. One bad apple spoils the bunch I guess.

ya the guy is a total pain to deal with. I remember in 2008 I spent upwards of 2 months trying to make a deal for PPV 17 Cm Punk and Rey mysterio, and he'd always beat around the bush because he knew he'd have to send first since I'm in the elite. I'd always make offers and had stuff he wanted/needed, and he constantly would change what stuff he had available and prices and what not. One second the mysterio figure would be available and in perfect shape, the next second it was twice as much and would be missing his hands, then it was 3 times as much but normal. Then when we'd finally reach an agreement he'd come up with an excuse why he couldn't send or that he suddenly needed like the left foot for a big custom order.
