Dylan,, karma time is approaching,,or in your case,just starting,,if I were you,,I'd make it right,,,do the right thing before it's too late. Funny thing about Karma,, you never know until it happens


Do the right thing.

dylanblada

I'll be doing some house cleaning here, working backwards, responding last post first and so on.

George, I hated that movie. So unfairly biased.

Fistly, how dare you invoke Sabbath on me. Besides, the proper lyric for a reference to Karma would have been "life is like a wheel". Secondly, I don't need or want or care about your vein prayers. Just as hell is for those that believe in it, Karma is too.

By the way, the sub is being taken care of at no cost. It was only damaged because the leads were a weak point and should not have failed first.

I've "lived this long" by being able to think and not just react like a housefly. that those that surround me. That's all it takes. Also, by at least being literate enough to effictively communicate my thoughts so that others (who are themselves literate) doesn't hurt (I'm looking at you Steve).

In reference to the shipping costs; it was not a point about trying to save money for myself. Not only would there have been added weight the of packaging, there would also be added size, not to mention the cost of extra boxes and the whole "handling" part as well.

disneyjoe and others cannot seem to read and/or comprehend that I would rather limit my involvement in this thead do to the aforementioned mob-like behavior (since when is being part of a mob a good thing?). A simple way of accomplishing this would be to log out. Oddly enough, you can still view threads when not logged in. Strange, I know.

I know most of you have either not bothered to read my other response post or at least have not comprehended that I did in fact place a claim through UPS. I have not heard anything back from them. Steve has stated that he thought pursuing UPS would be a "bad thing" becasue he did not think that I would return his (Chris') money if a claim was granted. Although, given his state of mind, I can empathize slightly, it still was really your only hope. Chris did file a Paypal complaint. As far as I can tell, Paypal politely laughed in his face. I could have told him that would happen as Paypal has never done anything useful for me when I needed help.

One mistake I made previously (pointed out by shadowofnight) was thinking that one of us would keep the amp if UPS granted a claim, forgetting that they would almost certianly take the amp and either repair it and sell it of sell it as is, (for more than $150 I'm sure).

While you people are accusing me of wrongdoings, some member's chosen speech is much more incriminating; with treats of violence, breaking and entering, destruction of property, and slander. I am stunned that these posters are not reprimanded or at the very least, warned about such actions on a public forum.

Oh, and sorry folks, the Velodyne sub has gone to another happy eBay customer.

Speaking of eBay, almost all the random items listed recently were sold for a friend, includning the Criminal Behavior book, which was required for a graduate level psychology class.

Before appadv was talked out of thinking correctly by the "Mob", he/she mentioned that at least I was willing to work it out. I absolutly was until the other party involved refused to cooperate. This shows to me (and should to the rest of you) that these people are not interested in solving the problem.

There, that should address most of the issues put forth by this thread. I hope that Chris and Steve will be able to handle each other's own issues in the future without have to cry for help and approval like an infant. And a sincere thanks to all those who reserved judgement or at the very least, had nothing to say becasue they did not deal with me at all.

The above is total ****.

There is one way and one way only to handle the situation.

YOU THE SELLER should refund 100% of what was paid to you IMMEDIATELY. Then you should take the steps to recover the money.

There is NO justification for anything less.

dkg999

Nice attempt at recovery. Money talks and **** walks. Do the right thing or go home. Personally, I'm going with the "you're scum" point of view advanced earlier.

MOB rules!

dat ol'karma, she's a **** :cool:

Hopefully, as he grows older he will realize that a mans word means everything, and that this was the wrong road to take. Luckily my father instilled those values in me at a very young age, apparantly those values were not taught at Dylans house.

Basically the whole persona of dylanblada is **** now on the internet( And seeing how he used the exact same persona name on every forum he signed up for ...he likes it a lot ) ...at least on the AVS and Polk forums. Sure he can still sell stuff on Ebay and Craigslist, but both his character and selling abilities are finished hereand at AVS.


At most it would have cost him a few hundred bucks to keep his honor and dignity and right a mistake he knows was wrong....I cant speak for anybody else, but mine is worth a hell of a lot more then just an amount of money.


Its an absolute given the packaging job was a complete disaster....thats a fact ...not an opinion.


If he was telling the truth ( IF ) , and the UPS store packed it for him ( There would be a cost shown on the UPS receipt showing AT LEAST a cost for the peanuts and/or air bags ) ....then he for SURE would have gotten his insurance monies from UPS.





Heres how the scenario SHOULD have gone......



So basically he pays Chris the purchase price back immediately...that should have been a given.

Makes a UPS claim for damage.


UPS picks up the amp from Chris for inspection ( Dylan does NOT have to pay for return shipping...neither does Chris )

If UPS decides ( After Dylan provides them with the UPS packing proof he said he paid for ...peanuts/air bags AT the UPS store ) that the packing provided by the UPS store was inadequate...he gets his 400 dollars


End of the story is Chris/Steve are happy....Dylan gets 400 back from UPS....dylanblada is shown to be a great member and can now sell anything he wants on the forum and can get questions answered on the forums with other members looking at him with respect and not disgust.



I say THAT would have been worth the money. ( And it actually would have been FREE if he insured the amp for what he sold it for , and not 400 dollars )

snow

(Fistly) (vein) prayers (treats) of violence. ( certianly) Also, by at least being literate enough to (effictively) communicate .

Sorry wrong again. Literacy is not your strong point obviously.

In reference to the shipping costs; it was not a point about trying to save money for myself. Not only would there have been added weight the of packaging, there would also be added size, not to mention the cost of extra boxes and the whole "handling" part as well.

I have to call **** here.

1.Unlike you previously mentioned it does not cost double for an extra box and proper packing materials.

2. I am pretty sure there is a price break at $400.00 insurance thats why you done that, to save money same as with packing it properly.

I can empathize slightly

Thats a classic sign of a sociopath no empathy or consience.

it still (was)really your only hope.

Was? So you have made up your mind now to screw him?

I hope that Chris and Steve will be able to handle each other's own issues in the future without have to cry for help and approval like an infant.

Wrong again not cry like a baby. Expose a thief and a sociopath.

Yes, I'm the sociopath who harassess other people because he cannot get his way; who burns bridges at every chance; who refuses to cooperate with the only entity that could possibly help him. Wow, the igorance shown here by most (not all, you know who you are) of you is asounding. From the constant, near illiterate ramblings of a desperate man, to bandwagon riders who have absolutley no experience/interest/knowledge of me or the case, its almost laughable. What ever will I do without my godlike reputation of 81 posts here and 73 on ClubPolk?

shadowofnight

Even his ON topic talk in that/this thread is fantasy......







" By the way, the sub is being taken care of at no cost. It was only damaged because the leads were a weak point and should not have failed first. "






You posted these just YESTERDAY mid afternoon....dont think DIYCable wont read them....he frequents the DIY Speakers and Subs section on a daily basis .

You not only exceeded xmax...you bounced off of xmech more then once...the lead slap should have warned you but it didnt. That is blatent sub abuse ....you even brag about it in your posts. :eek:

When he see's that damage ( Either in pic form in the thread or when you send it back ) you will be SOL.

Those leads were fine all the way to and a bit past xmax....but when you get to xmech they will be guitar string tight ( You dont want any extra lead length flopping around during linear/intended use ) Thats why the better subs now weave flat leads into the spider instead of that old school method ( And why I havent picked up a Maelstrom-X 18" to play with...I cant believe they used exposed leads )

I finally got a chance to take it out and examine it. It seems the leads for the coils were torn out. I'll contact DIYCable and see if I can get it repaired/replaced. What would cause that? Is that what happens when Xmax is exceeded?

It wasn't at my typical listening level, I was kinda showing off (you know how it is) and partly testing what it could do. Needless to say, I know now not to push it so hard without an EQ.

Posts: 81 It looks like it'll be best (cheapest) for me to stick with the Tempest plan. I'll order a BFD right away, unless there are other options at the under $100 range to consider... And I'll take better care of my subs from now on, promise.

dylanblada

I WAS going to leave this be, but I have to take issue with a few things.

Hey snow... what's a "consience"? I guess even the best ClubPolk has to offer are capable of typos...

In regards to the double shipping price issue:
I can charge whatever I want for shipping as it also includes handling, which involves my extra time and effort. The outer box would be considerably bigger, adding to costs. Also, big boxes are expensive when you buy them from UPS.

I have little empathy or conscience for people who have little common sense.

Steve and Chris made the decision to not cooperate with UPS, thus eliminating the best chance for recourse. I never said that I wasn't going to make things better; I was waiting for UPS' judgment. Since this avenue was ignored by the other parties involved, I feel no reason to comply. Just because they have a higher post count doesn't mean that they are always in the right. The internet doesn't operate on seniority. Son no, I haven't made up my mind to screw them; they have done that to themselves, that is my point now.

I have also learned that F1nut does not understand sarcasm and likes to take words out of context. I actually was referring to Steve burning bridges and cooperate. Thanks F1nut for lending credence to my housefly theory.

And in reference to my damaged sub issue:
I told the representative the same thing I posted on AVS, and sent the pics. I was told, that I was probably driving the sub near it's limit and I should probably back it down (which I obviously realize now). I was told that the leads should not fail like that, at least not before it starts smoking and the surround is torn. Thanks for your concern, though.

F1nut

Direct quotes can not be taken out of context. Would you like to try again? I would advise you not to, but then again, I do have to admit, it's fun watching you dig.

Then there ya go...on one hand YOU destroyed the sub and somebody is making something right for you that they SHOULDNT be doing. DIYCable is an awesome place and will only be helping you in the interest looking good to the forum....not because they should have repaired/replaced it...as we both know they did not have to...it was not their material or workmanship that caused the failure..it was YOU.

On the other hand...YOU destroyed the amp with your poor packaging and SHOULD be giving the money back but you are not.

Do you not see the wrong/Irony in that ?

ROTFLMFAO I left one word misspelled on (purpose) and sure enough you grabbed it like a drowning rat. As far as shipping goes I dont believe that anyone would complain about paying extra for a good packing job and the proper amount of insurance.

The boxes cost more at UPS? thats your reasoning for not packing properly? Who the F***K CARES? A mistake was made regarding packing whether or not it was simply due to lack of experience or intentional, you as the seller and shipper are responsible for getting this to the buyer safely. If you have the joy of going to court over this you will find this out.

As far as F1nut goes you will never make so much as a pimple on the **** of that man.

You feel no reason to comply simply because as I mentioned here and on AVS forum your a thief and a sociopath, not because of any fault on the buyers part.

dylanblada

F1nut: direct quotes can be taken out of context.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context_(language_use)
That should help you understand what context means. When you give no reference to the sarcasm included in the statement, it leads the reader to assume a whole other meaning (in this case, completely opposite to the intended meaning) to the statement.

I am not a company. I do not have policies that dictate what happens when a package is mishandled by a shipping company or due to defects. DIYCable is and does. How they handle their business is their choice. They could have told me that I would have to pay for shipping and repairs, but they didn't and I thanked them and let them know they made a loyal customer out of me and will be back soon for more business. There may be some irony there until you realize that UPS should be the one to analyze the situation. That opportunity was passed upon by the buyers.

UPS is still a great service and I use them frequently. I realize that things happen and somebody might not have been paying attention the numerous stickers warning of the weight of the package. So I don't hold it against UPS, but the decision to pass on the UPS claim (after I was so emphatically urged to begin by fellow forum members) is not my fault and frankly, it does not make sense.

snow, I also typed more than you did and didn't just take quotes and respond to them in incomplete sentances.

In this situation, my integrity would only be on the line if, A) I was trying to make a career out of selling random items I have or, if I actually gave in to what others (who don't really know the full situation) told me to do, thus compromising what I believe to be right. There are different types of integrity. I have been treated far worse by eBay, Paypal and others. I understand now that those companies have their policies and I must work with them on that. This is not what has happened with UPS as the buyers will not cooperate. Again, if I wanted to, I could have easily not shown my face (username) here or on AVS and I would not have to deal with this abuse. I think that standing up for myself in the face of ignorance shows integrity. Also, a note to many of you, communicating as respectfully as possible can only help you, never hurt.

I won't make a pimple on F1nut's **** because he has over 15,000 posts? Seems to me he needs to get a life or at the very least, get off the computer.

Your integrity is not on the line since you obviously have none. This is the the most simple of issues. YOU sold something. YOU shipped something. The item was delivered broken. YOU are responsible to the buyer for that. Whether it was your fault or the shippers (YOUR agent) fault, the item as promised never was in the hands of the buyer. Now YOU expect them to have to deal with YOUR problem and not have their money back. It does not matter if you are a business or not you have handled this wrong.

A person of integrity would do the right thing. YOU have not done so.

No it has nothing to do with how many posts someone has. There are people here with thousands of posts here and on AVS that I have no respect for

It has everything to do with being a man and owning up to your mistakes and making them right.

F1nut would never package a product like you did and if the product arrived damaged he would instantly make it right. There would be no need to even go to the forum and post a complaint it would be taken care of.

There are a couple of people here that on a personal level I really dont care for that sell a lot on this board, but I know for a fact that they would also make things right because they are honest and have integrity.

Simply man up, repay the buyer what he payed you and you will gain 2 things respect for yourself and respect by others.



SNOW

huggies

So exactly why was the amp insured for less than its sell value??? Dylan, you continue to fall back on the premise that the buyers would have been made whole had they just sat back and waited for the UPS claim to proceed. The buyer being out a couple of hundred dollars due to your negligence in packing and insuring it for an improper amount would not have been making the buyer fully reimbursed, regardless of any flawed logic you are trying to use. You are simply pathetic.

Dylan you have made such a name for yourself.... Nice job
