De'vo - a genuinely nice guy

Postby Beardy » Jun 13th, '07, 23:13



I dont want to get into an argument about floruishes, magic, and xcm, I just want to tell you of an experience, experienced today by me

de'vo got 100 porper clips made with the superhandz spade logo on it. I kept meaning to order one, but wasn't able to for various reasons.

I then received an e-mail saying that there were 4 left.

Luckily, I had the money for it, so I knew I was able to get one of these beauties...possibly the sexiest porper clip that I have seen.

Unfortunately, I had the money in my wallet, not my account, and it was 1am. This meant I couldn't order it until I went to the bank to put my money into my account that morning.

I went, I came back...they had sold out of clips. I missed it by mere hours...I was, in a word, devastated...a couple of members on here know how much I have been wanting one. As soon as I had the opportunity, I was a tad too late.

Instead, to console myself, I ordered De'vo's cobra collection on dvd (personally signed of course). I was talking on the forums, gutted that I missed out.

This morning my package arrived...I opened it...and what should be there? The limited edition spade porper card clip. Worth well over £50 now...maybe more considering it is now unavailable, and only 100 were produced in the world. As it was designed by De'vo, he probably had about 4 or 5 for himself.

He sent one to me...free of charge...didnt ask for anything...and really made my day.

I sent him an e-mail thanking him...not enough to show how I actually felt when I opened it. I was actually speechless...tears nearly came to my eyes. It probably sounds stupid...but this actually meant a lot to me. And he didn;t have to...it was sold out...i lost, fair and square.

the least he could have done was charge me regular price for it...but nope. He gave it free of charge, didn't want anything in return, just to make a fellow card manipulator happy.

What more could you ask for eh?

I just hope that this shows that he is, when it comes down to it, a genuinely nice guy, who cares for those who respect him.

I am just over the moon...looking at my clip now...it truly is the sexiest clip that I have seen.

Nice one Beard, I always think that little things like that, make the world a better place. (Hope I didn't sound to corny there)

Although I hope there's no people who open their packages and are wondering where their clip is :lol:

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.

I'm jealous how much would you sell it to me for? I've also got a nice sister. Only joking :D
