where, oh where are you B randon?

[Gregs///M]

Best of luck Simon, I hope things work out. Despite having a large inventory of cluster and AFM parts, I choose not to do business with him. There were some complications years ago, can't remember exact details. Good luck!

Timeout? How about a good old- fashioned bare- bottom spanking?

Let's keep it clean here, Toby. I'm sure there's a fetish thread somewhere in OT :giggle:

On topic though, I'm going through a failed shipment myself right now on a couple of Hartge Type A's. The seller initially didn't want to use Paypal (red flag), but I convinced him and it paid off. Today is the deadline for him to respond to my claim; I'm not expecting a response.

I'm sure a number of us have learned the hard way, but unfortunately you just can't seem to do much business online without protecting yourself from people like this.

If he gets put in timeout he can't respond. Regardless, it's not up for community vote.

All in favor of B randon being put in time out until
He sorts this out say I

[Exodus_2pt0]

Judging by his post history he won't even see this thread.

This is kinda revelant. If you are wary, ask them to throw it up on ebay and cover the 10% yourself. I bought my BBS rs wheels that way and the extra 10% for a legally binding transaction was definitely worth the peace of mind. Ships to the wrong address? Legitimate negative feedback. Doesn't respond? Same thing.

The only transaction from here that I've ever had grief with was when the seller didn't want PayPal. He was "a friend of a friend" so I made an exception...wasn't pretty.

Typically people who don't accept PayPal have had their accounts closed for some reason. Big red flag IMO

I wonder if he will ever post here again?

[e30crazie]

I considered buying these back when he posted them, glad I passed on this but on the same note sorry to hear you got stiffed. Good luck with your trip upstate. On the flip side, it's a beauty of a drive.

[2mAn]

Luckily, I have people who have helped me in NorCal, otherwise I would be paying $5/day until I drive 380 miles ONE WAY to go get them. This is bullshit and the longer he takes to respond, the more irritated I get.

[stonea]

Sorry to hear about this Simon, hope he works it out or at least someone on r3v can help you.

The question here is though, how the hell does this guy ship parts to the wrong part of the state and not even respond. An equivalent is if he shipped a part to Buffalo when you live in New York city. Its insane.

Guess I'll chime in. I bought a wiper linkage off of him. It arrived more or less as expected, but I had to borrow a few small pieces off my old one (some clips or something). Not the smoothest transaction I've done, for a few reasons, one of which I'm pretty sure was my fault (paid with paypal, but it wouldn't use my credit card for some reason (don't know why), ended up paying overdraft fees... twice!), but I got what I paid for within a reasonable amount of time.

Thats why i hate the google wallet shit. It only allows bank account and just like you I didnt have the cash in my account right away so i was gonna out it on a card. I ended up just not buying yhe item cause 1 when i asked if he'd pay paypal for just that reason wanted to do a card. And mainly when i asked to do paypal he just ignored me.
