I've sent thousands of dollars to other people to buy stuff which has ended up in their hands that they dumped. That doesn't sound like someone trying to rule everything to me. You have not. All the money you've sent went to buy stuff that was sent to you and most of it is probably still in your collection. Also, I send stuff to other people to work on. More people than I can even recall. If I wanted to "rule" and do everything myself then I'd be like you with your PGM collection ignoring people's requests to send it to people actively working on it. I don't care about being the person who dumps stuff, I care about the end result. You obviously don't agree or else you wouldn't know things about dumping that nobody else does, you'd share it publicly.

That's news to me, that's not what you said before. Anyway it would only save some fees though. Having not much money is the biggest problem.

Nobody I know seem to have heard from them in a while but the last time it was brought up, they didn't seem very keen on the idea. For one thing, unless it's a clone or bought from a shop they usually want to hold onto games for long periods of time before dumping so as to not become known as MAME supporters. This is the main problem with buying through them.

You call anything "crap" unless it's made by your favorite arcade companies. The point is you suck at returning stuff and reselling. We had a good run for a few weeks a little while ago, that's it. Sometimes you just ignore e-mails about requests, it's really annoying.

Well you're out of your mind then, and we've never re-bought anything that I've sold (maybe you could dig up one example where we did, but even so, the huge amount of recycle funds I've produced and the boards they bought outweigh it by a long shot). I get stuff and usually dump it and get it back for sale within a few days and I think this is the best way to do it for most stuff. And I don't agree with your method of waiting until there's a working driver to dump stuff. You have undumped Naomi, Hikaru, Model 3, Namco System 10/11, I can't even keep up with it. In fact, you can't even keep up with it. That's why you've asked me on multiple occasions to go over your site for undumped stuff. If it was all funky SSOP70 stuff that is problematic then that would be one thing but it's not, there's tons of games where you've dumped their chip types before. Maybe System 10 is exempt and SSOP70, that's about it. There are literally dozens of games you have already that you can dump (forget reselling, just freaking dump).

Also, you sometimes will get stuff with my help and then change the whole agreement once the item arrives. Like Wyvern F-0 for example, I wouldn't have even raised money for it if I would have known you were going to withhold the dump for years, that wasn't what I agreed to, and Bygone could be dumped by a nutness monkey and you took over a month on it. Additionally, you've asked multiple times that only difficult stuff gets sent to you and that I take care of the easier stuff. Now I'm doing that and you want to troll about it. About this game we lost, too. Nobody would even know it existed if I hadn't found it. That goes for most of the other 10 game I've gotten in Japan recently too, all of which I won.

Whatever, get through your full dumping backlog other than stuff with problem roms and send me info about everything I've paid for or helped to pay for for reselling and then after that I'll start sending you stuff again other than games that have to come to you to dump (like SSOP70). Otherwise I don't see the point in making your backlog grow. The Celga fees aren't killing us and any ID we use regularly is going to become known. Your contact's probably already is (again) after those last 2. Those were about as high-profile-MAME as you can get.
