some one owes you money, and just will not pay up. I'm not going to go into any detail. He said he has mailed me a check twice, but it was returned. Sent me the address that I sent him to mail it to and it was right. It's only 40 bucks, but it is 40 bucks I could use. I gave him my paypal info, and even sent him and invoice with my paypal details. It just ticks me off. I'm tempted to pm shack with a negative feed back for this person, even though it was not audio gear, but a service.


Anyways, I'm done blowing off steam. Just expected more from a polkie

Later,
dude

    Speaking from the other side of this situation, I had a real problem getting a $230 check to HearingImpared....To the tune of one coming back (by my own fault, I f'd up the address), and the second going into the USPS ether....I finally had to two-day-air a check through UPS about two weeks later....Sometimes **** happens man...

    Do it and tell us who it is, so that no one else here gets burned.

    I post a lot on a cigar board, and if someone stiffs a member on a sale or trade, he's usually give a reasonable amount of time to make it right, or he'll get outed.

    I hope whomever the person is, will read this thread and pay you the $40 he owes you..

    Side note: Just because a person is part of Club Polk and a Polkie, doesn't mean there still aren't people who live by the same standards as the rest of the good people in here..

    I don't know who this person is and i can't say anything bad about them... but in here we all go on the honor system. That being that you don't burn your fellow polkie on a deal, by misrepresenting the quality of an item being sold, and that you ship out the item and exchange funds in a timely manner.

    For every one bad deal that happens.. there are at least two dozen good ones that take place all the time.

    sorry you are getting nowhere dude.. keep trying. Sometimes people don't check email or log onto here everyday like me. ;)

    I'll give it a couple days, he has quite a few things up for sale right now(the past month or so). I hope no one gets burned. I've also posted a message to him and I know he was on after I posted yesterday(he was on at 1:03 this morning).

    Here is a PM I just sent him
    Dude, I know it's only 40 buck, but I can really use it. you can paypal it to me: dudeinaroom@hotmail.com and I'll eat the 3% or what ever they charge. I've sent you a few pms and have e-mailed you an invoice(so you can claim it for your business at the end of the year, I'll even send you a hard copy marked paid if you need me to). I'll give you a couple days, and if you do not respond to me, and I see that you are/have been on the forums and don't respond to me, I'll name you in a thread I have going right now, as well as post links to my thread in your sales.

    Sorry but I really need the money and every little bit counts right now.

    Hoping to hear from you soon,
    Ted

    Ok Ok... I'm sorry. Here's the forty bucks dude... now get back to posting in the Threadjacking thread ;)

    No, in all seriousness, you should let this thread be visible for a day or so at most, then post his name and call him out. If you can't pay, you shouldn't buy. If we don't police ourselves, who will?

    There is no excuse for a lack of communication. When Bill was having his problem with me he kept me in the loop so I wasn't worrying that I was going to get beat. Whoever it is, is either a very busy guy or just has a cavalier attitude when it comes to other peoples money.

    Dude, give him a few more days, PM a couple more times and if he doesn't reply LAY HIM OUT!!!

    He forgot, and the wrong has been righted, and that is all that needs to be said.
