rwieder 0 #26 May 3, 2010 Quote He tried very, very diligently, to resolve this without publicity. Wendy: We are in 100% agreement on this point. But AFTER he recieved his money, he offered this: Quote thanks for taking care of this joe, et al.... i did get my refund, i hope that the mods can delete my post now, so that nobody thinks its sour grapes.... He offered this after he recovered his funds. I just don't think it's appropiate to go that route. I've had these same problems in the past, and I've always taken care of my own business. Anytime you make a PayPal transaction, ya gotta know you may get the prod instead of the product. The deal should have been brokered. IMHO. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ridestrong 1 #27 May 4, 2010 QuoteQuoteHi Wendy, +1 JerryBaumchen +2 Same goes for that girl who complained about the jumpsuit deal gone bad with the Australian or New Zealand guy (forget which country) that was posted in The Bonfire. She tried everything she could think of to no avail, before coming on here. +3 Maybe it was actually this thread that lit the fire.*I am not afraid of dying...

rwieder 0 #28 May 4, 2010 Quote What else could he have done in your estimation? Don't do business with people whom your not really familiar with. I've bought & sold a lot of equipment here on DZ.Com and have NEVER had the first problem. I don't know what happened in his case, but I would have took care of it myself one way or another. The biggest thing that annoyed me was after he got his $$$ he made a request for the greenies to remove his post. "So there wouldn't be any sour grapes" He had a sour grape taste in his mouth before he ever posted that OP. Cha! Personally, I would have brokered the deal the same way I do when I buy firearms. Quote It's not enough money to fly out there to talk to him one-on-one. It's an honest question; if there are other ways. Hopefully I've addressed your query. I agree with everything you've said above, I'm in no disagreement whatsoever. Quote I'm sure there are folks who would appreciate hearing them. Be honest, there's a lot worse things that could happen to one's self....right? If that's the worst thing he goes through in the next 12 months, he's a lucky man! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"So there wouldn't be any sour grapes" I think maybe the quoted part of my post was misinterpretted. The sour grapes comment was more concerning leaving the post up and roasting the vendor over the fire after I'd gotten my refund, which I did wait six months for. I totally had sour grapes taste when I posted, originally as I had made significant efforts to resolve this privately I thought taking down the post would be the right thing to do, instead of rubbing someones nose in it. I'm not going to say too much more about this deal as I've had a very apologetic email from Joe and we did finally resolve the issue. If/when we meet up somewhere, I'm buying the first round.

I've been jumping since '98 so i know how set of risers with 50 jumps suppose to look like. Shipped them back.

Never asked him to ship to me sliders, never ever. I'm still in possession of both. And shipping back the above from AU to US is a pricey exercise, so i kinda gave up. 4.

All the above mentioned issues are relatively small but annoying. Good reflection of the guy's attitude and businesses practices though.
