I think I remember seeing someone posting about this guy on FB. Don't know anyone who's bought from him, though, but I might be interested if someone has good feedback about him.

I cant view this because I'm at school, but if his name is Nigeltech, then he's a scammer.

People were posting questions on some of his auctions such as "Where did you get these wigs from/where are they originally from?" and his reply was "and what did you have for breakfast?"
But at the same time, there are a lot more happy face feedbacks than angry or neutral, so I really don't know. If he's legit and stuff goes over smoothly, maybe he could be considered by people...

^Pixel asked the question that got the breakfast reply =/

Yeah that was me D:

He blocked me right after >>

Also, I'm sure those colourful cosplay wigs are a scam. I havent found any feedback for cosplay wigs in particular. Just other ones. But using those pictures? Lol yeah right you took them yourself.

People should go with their common sense when buying anything online. Pixel did a good job of asking, but when the seller is just trolling or answering you with something stupid, its just best to go somewhere else. /srs

Also, some of his wig pics are from eBay? Has anyone actually bought a wig from him?

By Pura. 09/06/11, 04:14 pm

We should spam him with legit questions to see what he says 8D

Let's troll the troll.

By Pixel. 10/06/11, 05:21 am

@Pura, I was going to do that but when I tried to ask more questions I found myself blocked >:C

EVERYONE WITH TRADEME. GO ASK STUFF. 8D
You may get blocked like me though xD

Hm.

It's suspicious... but the feedback is mostly good, and most of it is from wigs. It's weird, he also seems to be looking for costumers to do work in Hamilton. ._.

Hey guys I bought an orange wig from Nigeltech for my Misty cosplay and he was great!

He posted it to me on the next working day and I got it in perfect condition.

Plus he gave me good feedback: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Feedback.aspx?

So from my one trade with him/her I found them trustworthy. Maybe they just dont want people prying about where they supply their goods from? And maybe thought u were trying to steal their business. idk

@Casey why do u say they're a scammer?

By Rolly. 10/06/11, 06:58 am

Brunetteeyes: can't see the feedback as it links to the logged in user's own feedback...

By brunetteyes. 10/06/11, 07:26 am

oops

This is the feedback he gave me: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Feedback.aspx?member=1134669
And 8th down is the feedback I gave him: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Feedback.aspx?member=28015&type=s&page=2

By Rolly. 10/06/11, 07:48 am

Any chances of posting photos of the wig? :)

By brunetteyes. 10/06/11, 08:02 am

my camera is dead atm but he selling the same type of wig again: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Clothing/Womenswear/Costumes/Other/auction-382522822.htm

and it looks pretty similar to the picture.

By Pura. 10/06/11, 09:45 am

Blocking someone just because of a question is really stupid though. If he's actually trying to do legit business then he shouldn't get discouraging people. He could just be really vague like "China" or say "I prefer not to answer" etc

By Icarus. 10/06/11, 10:03 am

I think the seller is just a little rude, his feedback seems fine so he does deliver the goods/I don't think hes a scammer.

By Hannah. 03/07/11, 01:09 am

hi guys this was sent to me by Nigeltech. Sounds legit.

"Hi Hannah, Nigel here
My wife has been running my trademe account "nigeltech" for a couple of years now, sort of a business. 20,000 auctions, 14000 feedbacks, over 9000 positive, so many from regular customers of course so they only count as 1.
We source the wigs from China, of course. We took a trip there, 3 weeks of walking door to door with an interpreter trying to source stock for our costume shop "Thats a Wrap Ltd", and of course some products to sell on trademe.
It took a lot of effort, a lot of money, and it takes quite a bit of time to get it all together, so yes, my wife was a bit short with the question "where did you get these?". Maybe she could have been a bit more diplomatic, but sometimes you get tied up in a situation, and things get loose.
Anyway, we are not scammers. The photos were kindly sent to us by our supplier, because we really struggled to produce something that showed the wigs off, which is why they are also on ebay. Anyway, I just wanted to clear this up. Hopefully word can get around that we aren't bad people, we are legitimate traders, and yes they are very good wigs.
Cheers
Nigel and Anthea"

It looks like maybe he didn't want to tell people he got the wigs from China, because people who source stock from China don't actually go door-to-door with interpreters. They do it through Taobao or its parent side, Alibaba.

So technically that means he's a middleman. I guess its convenient just to know he actually has stock though.

By brunetteyes. 04/07/11, 02:21 pm

Nigeltech is a great trader and responds very fast with shipping. I'd recommend him.
