Do not allow your children to buy games, cards from Ed Lee. He goes to another store to purchase his stock and jacks up the prices. Plus he over charges young children more than adults for cards, games, toys, tshirts and threatens the kids when they complain. He has threaten kids who dare complained about how he treats them and has made a policy of holding bookbags with the kids deck cards in them and when they are returned cards are missing and when the children come in with their parents to complain he becomes abusive and starts cursing and making threats. He has a website where he post all these promises and when you go to the st ore for the deals he jacks up the prices and when you say no thanks I will go elsewhere he becomes abusive calling people motherf-, a-holes and throws them out. He has been charging kids just to walk in the store and if you dare complain he threatens to kick you out. If you dare say you went to another store to buy a yu-gi-oh card at a cheaper price you are banned from the store for life. He has bragged how he cheaps little kids who come in to buy cards and gives them used cards overprice and tells them they are new. Ed Lee is a schemer, liar and he thinks that his store is the best. If you dare express any views you are cursed and throw out and we are talking about young children ages 8 and ten. When the parents go in there and complain he threatens them to call the police and get his lawyer to sue. Sue for what telling the truth. His store is not good and alot of people have left. He claims to have a championship team of card players to compete with other teams and threatens them if they dont do what he says and cheat. He is a liar do not allow your children to purchase things from him. Alot of what he is selling is not only overprice but not new and fakes. He brags how he takes advantage of the young children who dont know they are getting fakes and pay double the price for garbage. I have not allowed mychildren to go there or buy anything from him once I knew what was happening and when I questioned him he became hostile, cursing making threats and I did tell him I was reporting him to the better business bureu as a fraud. When you advertise you are selling original brand new items and they are fake that is fraud ED LEE bring it on. I will be seeing you in court.

POSTED: Tuesday, July 14, 2009

i understand that ed might be going through a lot right now but i have to say that he derserves it for being such a pompous wind bag.
whenever i go to eds store he gives you a greeting that gives you the feeling of just lapping him straight in the face because of his false pretenses, he gives you this fake smile and tries to be your friend. so just dont be fooled by his fake charm because he later brings the claws out...

I have never head of Mr. Lee nor he store and never posted any reports on him or his business

AUTHOR: Louise - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, July 12, 2009

I have never heard of this man nor his store so why on God's green earth would I write such garbage about a business owner my son nor I never met nor ever step into his place of business. Yes, I live in Jackson Heights and so does this sick twisted nut Liz who is sadly stalking, harassing my family due to her own sickness and guilt. My son does not play yigioh cards nor does has he ever heard of this gentleman or his store. I can prove it! I would gladly go into his store if I knew where it was and met him along with my son and he would verify he has never see us in his store and does not know who we are.

It is sad Liz has to go on every report that was made in Queens and in NYC and use my name because she is sick. She posted on another report that I had harassed a Ed Lee, rent a center though I have no idea who that is and did a search of my name and she is posting rebuttals all day long claiming I am filing this and that on business I never went to nor heard of. LOL i never ever used them in my life. Liz is filing false reports under the name Angel, Jonathan and whatever personality she is having on any given day.

As for Mr. Lee I never met the man, never heard of him nor has my son who is in college and works. My lawyer has contacted Rent a Center to prove I have never ever had any contact with them in my life nor anyone from my household. He has also contacted ripoffreport and has gotten the IP address where all these reports and rebuttals where made from and guess who is came back to Liz aka Angel, Jonathan among other false names she used on myspace to harass and stalk my family and friends. She will stop soon as she is being sued and the proof does not lie.

I hope Mr. Lee you trace who filed this on you and sue because I plan on sue this nut Liz for stalking, harassment, defemation of character, liable and so forth. I did a search of my name and she is posting rebuttals all over the place using my name. As I stated I have never been to this man's store nor heard of or him nor has my son who is twenty and stopped playing these cards years ago. But her kids still collect the cards and I cannot honestly say if this is a real store or a phony posting she created, if this is a real store and Ed Lee is a real person she is the one doing this. Her husband fights with everyone in the neighborhood and curses, threatens people. IF this is truly a real store and not something Liz/Angel made up I would highly suggest Mr. Lee sue. Liz you have a problem with me so why are you going around posting your hate?

Get a job get a life stop harassing people because of your guilt. It is sad your own father told you get out he hated you before he died so you have lost your mind and are playing games. This is between you and I. Get some mental help you cannot even use your real name can you? Hide behind a phony one. Are you getting mad yet Lizzie because none of your games have worked? Are you going to report the whole Jackson Heights cause your losing your mind? Is that what you do all day instead of working and taking care of your kids you sit on the computer harassing people?

I know for a fact you have also harassed your building management telling people your building was infected with bedbugs and even sent on a public forum a open message for all to see to some woman asking her if she lived in the same building as you and how to report management. I am sorry Mr. Lee she has dragged you into her sick games but just as you want to defend your store I am defending my reputation against this sick person. It is truly sad a person with no morals or respect for the law scratch that a person who thinks she is above the law has to harass so many innocent people and drag others into her sick game.

This site is not meant for sick people to harass others for there enjoyment. What normal adult uses fishy cakes? What is that suppose to mean? that she likes eating fish cakes? LOL The so called report was written months ago and then all of a sudden out of the blue she writes a rebuttal months later claiming it was me? Hmm seems odd don't you think. I bet her son and husband was banned from this gentleman's store due to her husband's loud uncontrollable rage and use of foul dirty language he is so use to getting away with. Liz leave Mr. Lee and all the other people you are harassing alone. You have harassed your own child's former friend's mother and my lawyer is calling her as a witness against you. When my lawsuit is done against you the truth will emerge and all us innocent people you are stalking will receive justice in the end. STALKING, DEFEMATION OF CHARACTER, HARASSMENT, LIABLE IS ALL AGAINST THE LAW. GET HELP YOUR GAME IS ENDING. LEAVE EVERYONE ALONE YOU SICK TWISTED NUTCASE.

dont believe everything ed says

AUTHOR: Chaos Dragon - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, March 04, 2009

all i have to say is that i understand where all these accusations come from. for staters i like to believe that i am in fact ed's best friend but that does not mean that he is the greatest person out there. i have noticed througout this time that ed likes to give fake smiles and likes to talk behind someone's back.

in fact i hear him say that a certain someone (i am not saying the name) will get banned from his store because he likes to show off his gaming skills and in fact has beaten ed in yugioh wich has made him even madder. ed said that he will ban him from the store just because he doesn't "generate profit". i find this surprising because just last week he bought at least seven booster packs at once.

not only that, he think that because he owns the store he could just ban anyone he feels like it with out having enough grounds.i have been reading the hog forums frequently and i was amazed how this guy who called himself paper clip face kept bugging (to say the least)ed about his business even after he was banned from the forums. what he wrote made me lol and realize that he was just pressing ed's buttons. (i guess paper clip doesnt have anything better to do). although he might have been a little too strong on his words, he did gave a lot of ideas which made ed even madder till he got red in the face and started twitching. he later started to rule out people to see who was this character, and due to "circumstancial evidence" he pointed out this guy who he banned. it really makes me laugh becuase i know paper clip and its not the guy who he banned. and i would have told ed who he was but its was not my place to do so. i feel sorry for the guy but hey, that's life.

the fact is that when he bans people, he does it with a preety face and a fake smile like i said before. he says "i cant have you come to my game room becase blah blah blah blah" but what he really says is "get the f--- out of my store and if you f---ing come back i will call the cops on you" which bring me to another point: he banned a little 4 year old for cursing in the store. i know its wrong but the kid is just 4 ,he just has bad manners. its something that can be fixed but its not reason enough to ban someone.

i know that in fact ed is losing business even though he might say otherwise; people are buying cards at cheaper prices on other card stores. so what does that tell you?

anyway, i like to think that i also give a fake cordial smile to ed but that is just because i like i like a certain someone on the store (not on the HOG) and i would like to keep seeing her. (yes, its all becuase of a girl).

HOG is a good store

AUTHOR: Cardplayer - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, February 23, 2009

I have been to Eds and i know that he runs a clean, honest store. He runs his buisness very well and besides being a good store is a good guy. While some of you may think differently from things you have heard, im sure you have not been to his store to see how generous he actually can be. His store has a lot to offer and so does he, i recommend his store. He has good deals, good people, and a good store.

Ed is a great guy

AUTHOR: Allureoflightness - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, February 14, 2009

To all those posting negative feedback on Ed. Ed is a great person. I believe he runs his business well, and keeps it organized at his very best. People may talk negatively on his store or how the quality of his store may be, but the point is I believe that Ed Lee is not a ego trip, or a cheat. He has a small shop, yes, but as far as him being a bad person I have not seen anything bad about him. I've been going to Ed's shop a few months now. Im not a regular day to day customer, but I visit the store every now and then to see what he has in store. He's been friendly, very helpful, and courtious. He's saved me alot of money on cards/supplies that would have cost me alot more elsewhere. He tries his best to both benefit us and himself at the same time.

Now the only few negative things I have about Ed Lee is the following. Mentioned in one of the reports Ed Lee does not "Tag" his supplies (Mainly the cards) with prices. This has always bothered me due to the fact that I've noticed him go back and forth with how much money a item was. On one paticular day I remember another customer ask him the price of a item, he said replied so and so. The following day I asked him how much the SAME item was and when he told me Ive noticed he had increased the price. Ive noticed this alot in the last few months. The second factor is the backpack rule. When you enter his store, and you wish to use the gameroom, he does indeed ask to hold on to your backpack. I find this a little too over the line, and on some level violating a sense of code. If I have valuables inside my bag, I do not wish for anyone to have the authority to "keep" my contents while I do about my business. If Ed Lee is worried about trading, or selling going on in his gameroom, he should hire someone to keep a eye inside the gameroom. Most stores do allow trading, and I think his rule is a bit too demanding. Ed Lee doesnt always have the cards a customer might need, and trading would be a nice alternative, plus bringing together more people. The last thing would be his $2.00 gameroom fee if you havent participated in any of his tournaments, or special events for that week. I personally think it's too much. Im aware that by doing this he believes it brings in more people to his tournaments, plus making him more profits, but alot of people have complained about it. His Gameroom is small enough as it is, and I rarely got to participate due to it being full all the time.

But besides those ACTUAL facts, Ed Lee is still a nice guy, and a well organized. I would recommend people interested in Video Games, Card Games, ect to go take a visit to his store. Nice Atmorsphere, nice people, and great deals 99% of the time. I see his store becoming the best store in the world.

Ed's not a bad person

AUTHOR: Lee0206 - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, February 02, 2009

I bet my house that most of you people haven't even been to ed's store.
If YOU think the Heights of Gaming (AKA) the HOG is horrible that's too bad it's ed's store you can;t tell him to do whatever you want him to do. Im sorry to those people who got banned out of the HOG, that's too bad cause Ed's the one who gives pheonominal discounts! I have a friend there who Ed gave a gold series for 20$ and gave him a 10% or 20% discount when he bought live 2 Boxes of Yugioh at once! You cant find that deals in walmart, Toysrus, or even target!

If you people hate the HoG go to a another game store in The NY state.
Ed may lose his buisness but im here supporting him.
Ed i also admire your dream you have to make the HOG the BEST GAME STORE IN NY!!

agreement

AUTHOR: Anonymous - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, January 27, 2009

I agree with this report completely.

In response to ed lees rebuttal

You do not give people any fair chances. I know many people that have banned from you store without fair treatment and you will soon see your store go down as the worst gaming store in all time. Once you suspect something you do an instant ban. Well i happen to know someone who was wrongly banned and all he did for your business was help you. He must of brought over 20 juniors to your store and you accused him of selling for simply stating he can help you get cards because he knows cheaper prices.

Also you charge people a dollar to get their bags thats only something the worst gaming store will ever do.

POSTED: Tuesday, January 06, 2009

Okay let's handle all the complaints one at a time.

Allegation: I get my stock from another store, and jack up my prices.

Fact: Yes. It is true. Product does not miraculously appear in my store. I have to buy it. I might buy it from another store, I might buy it from a distributor, I might buy it direct from the manufacturer, I might buy it from a customer, I buy my products from an infinite variety of sources. Than yes it is absolutely true that I charge a markup. After all shouldn't I be compensated for my time? However I do provide very competitive prices. Who else sold 3 packs of Crossroads of Chaos for $7.50? Nobody. That's who.

Allegation: I charge children more than adults and threaten them when they complain.

Fact: This is odd because generally adults have more money than children so it doesn't make sense for me to charge more. Generally those who have less money cannot buy in bulk and get volume discounting, so if that is what you are talking about than yes an adult can get a cheaper price than a child. But prices are uniform for my customers. If a child can buy in bulk than I will provide that child with the same discount.

Allegation: I have been charging kids just to walk into my store.

Fact: I do not do this. Why would I charge kids to walk into my store? I want kids to visit my store so they can purchase items. I would not raise another barrier. That just does not make sense. I do charge kids to use my game room, however. I have to clean the game room and maintain it. If I charge a $2 cover is it really too much to ask when you would tip that normally to any server?

Allegation: If you talk about the competition in my store I will ban you for life.

Fact: This is absolutely true. I cannot allow solicitation of my customers. Do you think Burger King would allow McDonalds to open a stand inside one of their restaurants? Do you think that a Burger King could stay in business if someone inside of the restaurant loudly and continuously expressed their preference for McDonald's sandwiches? If you prefer to buy from my competitor that is your privelege, however I also retain the right to choose my clientle. If you are adversely affecting my business than I will get rid of you. I will not allow competitors to advertise in my store. End of Discussion.
On a side note however we have excellent prices and we give out more free product than all of our NYC competitor's combined!

Wrap up: Well if you are interested in checking the facts out for yourself I encourage you to visit our store and check the facts for yourself. Furthermore I encourage anybody to call the court system to see if any court cases have been filed by anyone against my store. This report and it's accompanying report have been filed by some kids that are unhappy that they have been banned from my store. Some kids are troublemakers and want to see how much they can get away with. It's quite sad that they are doing their best to hurt me and my business by making prank phone calls, and the like, however their pressure will not ever allow them to play in my store ever again!

Thank you for reading my rebuttal and giving me a fair chance.
