Hi,

I received the e-mail from Lik-Sang too. At first I thought that it
was a joke or some kind of spam but no, is true.. The sender is
service(at)lik-sang.com and the number of the order they're talking
about is the same that I did the year 2002.

Subject: We pay $50 for your Dreamcast Broadband Adapter [PGT.0.63666]


"Hi <my name and last name here>,

Do you still have the [Dreamcast Broadband Adapter] you bought from us
a looong time ago?

We'd like to buy it back for US$ 50 (PayPal, Money Bookers or Store
Credit). Yes, that's right, we 'd like to give you $50 for it!

Please note that we can only buy adapters that actually work. If you
still have the packing of it, please also include it when sending the
DC Broadband Adapter back to us.

Please send your adapter to the following address. It's usually OK to
use Airmail as it is inexpensive and can be registered so that the
parcel is not likely to be lost on the way.

Unit 17B, 17/F, Broadway Centre

Please make sure that you have the Order No (63666) clearly visible
outide of the parcel. Put a small note inside the parcel with the
Order No. again, and write down how you'd like to get paid (PayPal,

placed a long time ago:

I have sent them an answer. Lik-Sang must think his customers are
idiots, that I'm idiot. They are offering to me $50 for a BBA that it
cost to me $119 plus $28 of shipping costs with EMS. They have even
remembered to me the price I paid for this item in 2002, thank you.
This is the way to treat potential customers?

They say too "We are sending you this email because many DC
programmers out there can't get a DC Broadband Adapter, Sega
discontinued the item :/" The BBA is discontinued since a lot of time
ago, is now that an unknown fever has begun and everybody wants to
program for DC and needs a BBA?. Not to mention the shameful
presumption and tone of the e-mail, something like "your BBA can be in
better hands, sell it to us". I have explained in my reply that my BBA
is in perfect condition, and I use it frequently. I care very well of
things.

What a pathetic excuse, they are Lik-Sang, probably the best known
online videogame shop and I suppose they can have access very easily
to the japanese market. Why don't they go and search for BBAs in Japan
or eBay, I don't need cheap arguments to try to buy from me for $50 an
item that cost me a lot more so that they can soon resell it by
probably a lot more. By the way, are they going to ask all people
interested in buying a BBA from them if they are programmers or
something?

Until now I had a very good feedback and consideration of Lik-Sang as
a good and reliable shop. Now I can affirm that probably I'll never
buy from them again in the future.
