One sold on ebay for a little over $10. He hasn't listed it again. I think only a few samples are streaming, not the entire set.
I know, I'm curious about the lack of chatter about this here. I think about this several times a day. And I was thinking more about it... If he is a scammer, he's a really bad one. Who in their right mind would pick Screaming Trees as the band to use to rip people off? If he really wanted to rob you, he would have done so with a band that enjoyed more popularity than the Trees. Also, he would probably use multiple bands, not just one.

I'm still shocked that this was the first time I'd heard Right Combination, really thought I had just about everything, too. Thought the only songs out there from the 1994 project were Watchpocket Blues, Paperback Bible, and the Youngbloods Cover of Darkness, Darkness (True Lies soundtrack). Sorry to veer off topic....diggin Right Combination though

In true bootleg fashion, he typed his email addy incorrectly for his website. I ordered the set and got this message from skiptracer21@gmail.com (notice the "c" in skiptracer) On 07/25/13, skiptracer <skiptracer21@gmail.com> wrote: received a payment Thank you CALMOCEAN You are gonna like this set e mail me if you have any questions Best Regards

Did you not get the email? It's been delayed. If it gets ridiculous, I'll open a paypal dispute on the 44th day. Here it is copy and pasted.....
Dear trees box set puncher,
I'm sorry your order has been delayed
due to cover printing f#@!-up
I was hoping to ship yesterday but didn't get the covers
in till today I have already tried to contact him he will not be back in
tell Sept. 3rd as soon as I talk to him I'll let you know how long the delay
will take.
At that time you will have the choice of waiting for the covers too be reprinted
or a refund of your money witch ever you chose .
Once again I'm sorry and hope to have this taken care of as soon as possible
will be in touch Sept. 3rd or 4th
Best regards

Hello everyone. Yes, please do not buy this. You are right, I am getting it shut down. We asked him not to do this but he did it anyway and is hiding out. I would not trust him to come through with the goods. We want to put this stuff out for real and top quality. We didn't even know he had this stuff (former tour manager and friend).

This must be a scam because I never received mine; not even after emailing my receipt number to both emails listed. Guess I'll have to call paypal and have charges removed. This would have been a great deal if it was real. Prove me wrong.

Attention: I paid this guy $150 for 3 boxsets. We talked about this in numerous emails beforehand. He knows I am the guest trees fan in existence and we talked about a few little extra perks he was going to do with my order. I am still waiting on my 3 boxsets now! He is ignoring my emails and NOT sending out my boxsets that he is supposed to send me over 2 months ago. How do I get justice here? I just want what I was sold. I paypalled him $150. Beware to anyone here who thinks about paying this person on youtube or anywhere else for this item. Someone please help!

Either you make good and send me this material or someone is going to do so. I want the items I paid for! This is a fraud and scam and nobody seems to be doing anything about it. I got that same email that said 'around sept 3rd' we will be back after a delay on the artwork. Your idea of 'top quality' is irrelevant. I don't call 'last words' top quality anyway given it sounds like a major label pop record. You guys ruined the raw indie sound you had on the original takes of those 9 songs that first came out on the net in '98. I want my trees music sounding like it did circa 85-90, not a PRODUCT of the digital compressed age of 2000's. Furthermore, my idea of getting what I paid for ($150 for 3 boxsets) is all that fucking matters here.

Any time you buy something on the internet, it's YOUR responsibility to make sure you get what you buy. Paypal is pretty clear about the 45 day rule. If you don't use it to your advantage, that's YOUR fault.

As I said before I paid $50 each for it, and bought 3 of them only to be stiffed my cd boxsets and my emails ignored by this "Rick" dude. Please everybody flood his email with threats that he is going to be reported and in trouble with the law. Also report his ebay account to ebay for fraud. Thank you.

Van has every right to take action to protect the 'Trees work, and your rant doesn't do you any favours. I appreciate you are disappointed but you should be contacting Paypal or your credit card company to report an alleged fraud.

I put in a dispute with paypal but was past the 45 day mark, so probably get nothing. vendor hasn't replied to emails. the site is still up and running but the order page is at least disabled so no one else gets sucked in.
