Ryan Stout- BSTNGUY5
I am leaving the entire message here so folks can see what happened but it was a severe miscommunication and Ryan has done nothing at all wrong..There were several small things that looked poorly but they were all explained and Ryan had nothing to do with them........thanks
It has come to my attention that there is a known scammer on our board (well he was until just now). Ryan Stout, aka BSTNGUY5, is a known scammer and has been banned from our board. I have received 2 private emails in the past 12 hours about him and want to thank those 2 individuals for letting me know. Right now he is/was trying to sell some very high end Old Judges on our BST page. I think his MO is that he steals scans and then gets people to send money...and then sends nothing in return. I alerted Joe G last night, as I saw a post he made, and when I collected more evidence this morning I banned Mr.Stout permanently. We don't allow links to other boards too often but in this case here is the info I used to make my decision. Darn scammers.....why can't they just get a job like the rest of us? I also left a phone message for Mr.Stout so if he would like to discuss this he can call me. best regards http://forums.collectors.com/message...hreadid=727021 ps...I added a question mark until we get this unraveled...and amended the title with new information received....see below posts Last edited by Leon; 06-24-2009 at 01:39 PM. Reason: clarification

That thread has been locked by another moderator and a warning in the thread was also given. If anyone contacts this guy from our board they need to contact me next for some oceanfront property in Oklahoma.

darn the luck....just received this email
"Leon,
I tried to get into net54 this morning and I can't get in for some reason. Now it says I had a private message and when I clicked on it it said I was banned. I know there is no reason for this as I am fairly new and have only conducted a few transactions and posted a few things for sale. This was a problem before when I first signed up and you were able to fix it. Can you please let me know what is going on? My id on there is bstnguy5." and I sent him a link to the CU thread to explain...

Leon- that's a strange email he sent you, under the circumstances.

I had a successful transaction with Ryan
Don't know about the rest of the stuff here but our deal was fine. He purchased a 1971 Topps Norm Cash PSA 9 from me*. Perhaps what we are dealing with here is an aggressive flipper who got carried away and started making deals before he got the items secured?
* I don't really care if it is flipped or not, so no issue there for me. I replaced it with a 7 that looks almost the same to my uncaring eye and pocketed the other 95% of the sale price.

Once upon a time
As I said somewhere if I am wrong I will be the first to admit it. I just got off of the phone with MemoryLane. After sorting through the details it looks like I was wrong in assuming Ryan is a scammer. I based my reasoning on emails I received and reading the thread on CU. With what I now know it does NOT LOOK LIKE ANY FRAUD was committed or was even tried to be committed. I apologize for the issue I have caused Ryan.
That being out of the way it looks like what really did happen is sort of as Adam W said. Someone was selling something before they had it AND they (Ryan) was told misinformation in the process. Neither MemoryLane nor I think Ryan is out to fraud anyone on this subject. Ryan is being reinstated on the board and again I apologize for posting on the board without doing my own investigation.

Not cool
Seems like this poor guys reputation will now be ruined long term no matter how much of a clarification is made. This thread should be deleted altogether. In fact, if I were the author of this thread I'm sure I'd have been chastised for it and told to keep my weapon in my pants and find facts before firing it like that, question mark in the title or not.
