I should post pictures of the Broadsides he sold me for $115...they're truly a horror-story. Don't be as naïve as me...avoid this guy if you value your money and a decent pair of Soaps.

That's rough. Let's see a pic of 'em.

my friend tyler wanted those so badly, and he just had to go down there and snipe them. he claims that we are "not honorable enough for these shoes". My friend thought those shoes were great, and Renny just had to have his way.

Renny, at one time I thought of you like a brother, hell I looked up to you man. But I don't understand why you did this to Tim and everything. I was always hoping that we could hang out all the time and stuff, but you've changed. We never soap or hang out anymore.

I don't know why or what is going on in your life anymore, but I'm sorry and I hope you can find peace with yourself one day.

Best of luck to you Renny

There you are. I couldn't find my Nikon D40, so I had to use the BlackBerry, but I think that it shows enough.

One thing to note: these are taken AFTER I took them to a shoemaker who smoothed out the plates considerably. In their original form, they would've torn up shag carpet like no tomorrow.

they have been since 03

yea. i guess, atleast when i first got on here 3 years ago, there were like at least 25 people.
sux

So i guess because im a little older now, need to sell my old shoes to make a little to help get through, that makes me a bad person right?

I'm supposed to just hand over what I have right?

Travis, you one sneeky little dude...On some serious shit, you don't know half the crap thats been going on in my life. I try to stay in contact with you and AJ as best as i can, but with no phone its a little hard. You busy as shit with school too dude.

AJ aint got it much easier, you need to be cutting him some slack and stop giving him so much shit.

As for the rest of you, fuck all of you if you seriously gonna start hating me for selling my soaps.

I look after my own boys Travis and AJ, fuck ya'll who dont know me personally.

.....

you motherfuckers seriously think after all the time, effort, and money into soaps as much as i did that imma just quit and flip the coin on you?

I think all that spam has gotten to all of your heads. Not once was i ever the bad guy, but when a little dick un-thoughtfully bidded over a $100 without asking ANY questions about the shoes, suddenly im bad.

Be honest, you jumped at it because they were "BROADSIDES" and you just couldnt keep your little finger off that button.

Anyone who knows me here knows well that I am an experienced soaper. My shoes are NOT in the best condition.

As for those pictures...What in the fuck did you do to that sole? It's like you went a ripped the front backwards! I most certainly did not sell you that shit like that. I once had to shoe-goo the front of the lateral plate because they're old shoes, and the glue holding the plate wears off on the corners. What did you do? see the shoe-goo strand and start pulling at the shoe? Get the fuck outta here, no one here is that stupid.

The only thing about that shoe i knew about was the front cracked sole plate....but if you know ANYTHING about the slipknot plates, THEY'RE GLUED INTO PLACE! That crack down the piece of that small plate isn't going to move anywhere when you grind. And i know for a fact that THAT sole plate area is glued down GOOD.


I also noticed how you didnt say shit until the 2nd and 3rd pair of broadsides went up. If you would've notified me beforehand we could've worked shit out, but when you try to 1-up me, you little opportunist...You won't win, thats why i didnt respond to you little threat on ebay.

you wanna be a little shit and start talking crap when i have every single email, and i have all the shipping dates, everything. What? You think i don't log all this shit bro? I KNOW how long you had those shoes for.

As for Travis, dude, you're like a bro to me, that's why i still give a shit and im still trying to fix this, otherwise i'd fucking drop you like a bad habit. You're just pissed at me cause i listed those shoes after you relisted your sylons....Dude, i waited all week to put those broads up, i didnt mean to catch you when you relisted, but i couldn't do shit till i finished reformatting my computer. I didnt even look to see if you relisted cause i assumed someone bought em....fuck, i would've if i had $. Also, stop hassling AJ, we gonna hang, we gonna soap....SOON. The weathers getting nicer, you seriously think i aint headed over on the NNGS train?

Seriously you fucking dudes gotta cut me some slack, shit hasnt been easy on me or my family lately, and all of you should know that I am the absolute LAST fucking person who would wanna go out and fuck someone.

I've been good for too long to go bad ;)

(i dont have the triforce tattooed on my fucking hand for no reason)

Hero of time has spoken

in addition to the comment above:


THAT WHY YOU ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING!!!!

You got the Triforce on your hand Renny? That's fucking rad.

Ah, so now I've become the bad guy? Funny how that seems to work. Well, allow me to defend myself, and then you all can draw your own conclusions.

@Renny: some of what you said is true, but unfortunately it proves a basis for distrusting you. It's true that I wanted those shoes and wanted them bad; bad enough so that I made some bad bidding decisions and naïve choices in dealing with you. However, the problem in this case is, as ever, the misrepresentation involved. Those shoes (I have now found out) were PROTOTYPES, never meant for sale or even very much more than a proof of concept. Add that to the fact that you had used them extensively, and it would be painfully obvious to a reasonable seller that they weren't simply "used," they were, in fact, "trash.". Yet despite ALL this, you chose to list them with a flattering description, a nice-looking, low-res photo that showed none of their defects, and counted on the fact that some dope from SolidGrind would come along, drool and scream "BROADSIDES" and provide you with a nice chunk of illegitimate change. That's not right, Renny. You've said it yourself: you're older now, so you, of ALL people here ought to be the most responsible.

As for that comment that you didn't know about the soles, and that I had tampered with evidence, that's bullshit and you know it. If you had worn those shoes even ONCE, or not even worn, but just tested for wear AT ALL, the same thing would've happened to you. Believe me: I was raised by a lawyer: I do NOT tamper with evidence just to prove a point. However, I might draw your attention back to the fact that you knew that the shoes had to be glued once already, and that the plates were developing fissures. Regardless of whether they were cemented on or not, that is the MOST telltale sign of wear in ANY Soap shoe...and yet you STILL chose to conceal this fact. You are, of course, entitled to enter any description you want, but willful misrepresentation of a product to a customer that you knew was hooked is fraudulent.

As for the hard-luck stories, I am truly sorry for you. But go make your money off of the plenty of gullible idiots roaming the streets of NYC. Leave the damn Soap community alone. I know you were dedicated to the community in the past, but the essence of belonging to a community is in supporting its members. You have failed to do that on many counts.

One last comment: stop threatening us. Much as you may like to think otherwise, there is no pressure that you can bring to bear, through "cyberslaps" or otherwise, that is ever going to ultimately influence anyone's behavior. As I understand it, this is a free and democratic community, and threatening of that sort is not acceptable.

You may wield a piece of the Triforce, but it's definitely the ill-gotten Triforce of Power. I hope you have what it takes to someday undertake the quest to find the pieces of the Triforce of Courage that exists in your heart. Until then, I will continue to fight, like Link against Ganon, until a resolution is reached.

@Altman: please check your facts. The shoes are not in wearable condition, much less Soapable. It would be dangerous to use them as intended. But, if all fails in negociations and I'm stuck with them, you can have them and go hurt yourself using them to your heart's content.

and Tim that second to last paragraph was extremely geeky, just to let you know

I'm sorry, I get off topic very easily

you were bagging on my shit, so I bagged on you right back.

No need to be a little girl about it, just don't do it again

and did the "Lords of Soaptown" ever get made?

bump

Woah, chill Antho. I haven't had a problem with the SOAPs he sold me. Everything I got is in good condition, and the Broads have no soles, but that's fixable. They have custom grooves in them, so that should be an adventure for me. Everything else works perfectly though. I'll send you guys a link of a picture (or a few) of the Broads I have to see if you think they're good. I think they are.

Just for the record, I have also bought soaps from Renny and the interaction was 100% legit and professional.

Revengasaur did you get my message.

Hey guys, RE: "Lords of Soaptown," I'm the director of that film. It's on the verge of completion right now, but it does, in fact, exist.
- Jason

wow, no wonder no one posts here anymore.

that Jason guy, I'd love to see your video!

@Jason

Thanks for posting that link, I like your trailer. Are you working with Renny on this?

There seriously needs to be a new soap vid. like on the scale of oNe or tWo.

hey Jason, if you have a facebook please post a link or something. I'll add you so I can keep updated with this!

woah, when were these interviews taken? Like, is renny still part of this project? Also, will the film be made regardless of the money raised? Cause I'm down to donate, but quite frankly im not ready to drop like 18 grand :P

also if at all possible you should add paypal as a donation method :)

plz release the video..
