Wow, looking through the site he has a lot of my covers and touch-ups. Whats the E-mail to get them taken down:
NES:
Silent Service
Mario's Time Machine
Dragon Warrior 3
Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout (this one is up there twice One with my cover and Another cover made by someone else )

Genesis:
6 Pack
Action 52
Judge Dredd
Kawasaki Superbike Challenge
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Pac Man 2: The New Adventures
NFL Football '94

They also Modified my Moonwalker cover on the eBay listing, but I can tell its mine due to the placement of the stars on the top.

They may be selling more of my touch ups and the picture be the wrong cover but these are all the ones that I know they took.

Let that be a lesson to you: you can sleep when you're dead.

The sad part about the GCW greed is that if they actually made a good quality product and actually spent some money, and effort to acquire good condition boxes that don't have covers yet it would be a win win.

Having two places looking to get good scans and make quality covers would have been awesome.  Instead you have GCW producing crap and stealing the good stuff from here.

I'm no graphic designer but looking at the examples of stuff GCW made compared to Wiggy's custom stuff and the covers that make it onto this site, it's night and day.

@ GCW:

If you're going to market your product as high quality then make sure it's high quality.

I realize the quality part can be subjective as the people buying from you may be uninformed and unable to gauge the level of quality.

I guess the only way you guys will make $$ is off people who are stupid enough to buy overpriced goods.  I don't feel any ill will towards you guys for this as the responsibility is on the buyer to do the research.  I'm glad I researched and found TCP first.

Ditto...

I am glad also because I make all my covers way better quality then they do and still save a shitloas of money in the process.

Looks like Paula was kind enough to delete her posts and account.

Hopefully this means that the review can stand without any more crying and whining.  Of course, I'm sure she'll continue her bitching and moaning over on her blog since nobody has the ability to call her out on her completely ludicrous accusations and lies, but at least it's there and not here :D

^^^ This.  I think if they made the effort to contribute something more to the site, maybe it people wouldn't frown as much on their "business" as much?  At least users here on TCP.

Like Mojoskateco said, maybe using some of their profits to buy some CIB's (boxes) that this site doesn't currently have covers for, and providing those scans to the artists/photoshoppers here to use...  That could go a long way.  At least IMO.

The best thing about that sort of relationship is that it would be symbiotic. 

They wouldn't have to make every cover themselves, and we'd get scans of stuff that we're missing.  It would be win-win!  Too bad they're so short-sighted and incredibly obtuse.

I never really had anything against GCW.  I thought it was a bit messed up that they would be making money from others work.  I also thought that it was a decent idea for those that don't have the means to print out the covers themselves or to get the needed supplies, especially UGC's since you can't just buy a few at a time.  I even considered buying a couple of cases from them for a couple loose carts that I have.  The only thing that really stopped me was the cost.

Anyway, after reading Wiggy's review, I was actually a bit disappointed in the quality.  But I also figured that it was only a single case.  It's still not to say that all of their covers are printed the same way.  1 negative review can be bad but at the same time it's really only 1 review among many others that I'm sure can be just as positive.  While that review may sway the minds of many, truth be told, the minds that it would sway would be the ones who were already on the fence about buying said product anyway.  It isn't enough to fully stop someone if they really wanted to buy the product.

Unfortunately though...after the reaction from the site/company owner, I in no way shape or form would want to do business with them.  They acted very immaturely, childish, hypocritical and extremely unprofessional.

The only thing that they did to even seem professional is to offer a refund.  And that's really all they had to do.  Just a simple message apologizing for Wiggy's unhappiness and the refund offer.  From a consumer's point of view, that's horrible customer service and from the few posts and blog their reputation has forever been tainted.  Something that a business like theirs that target a specific audience which is already extremely small as it is.

I'm in full agreement.  Win-Win for sure.

I don't know why this isn't possible??  Providing some scans, especially if they're able to use some of their profits to pick up some rare boxes for "the cause".  I'd definitely soften my stance against their "business" if they were a contributing member to our community, rather than simply poaching/raping it for personal gain.  

I think we've scared "Paula" off the fourms, so who knows how she feels about this type of propsition??  I'm sure she'll be lurking reading all of this, as you can bet she's still got the Cover Project bookmarked! ;)
