Don't suppose anyone has heard if this ugly beast has reared his head??

Well after much pain and suffering, I got some results. I got in touch with a nice bloke in Melbourne who agreed to a payment plan. 2 months ago it started and as of last week it's now fully paid off. Yay, I just took ownership of my first rig, bought my second one and it only cost 13 grand! Thanks Matt! You were awesome!!

I've been trawling every possible facet of the sport imaginable! There are a few good deals from across the ditch that I have my eyes on, and the only way I'd buy from the states is if it was brand new. There is no way in hell I'd buy second hand from the sates, the chances of getting ripped off are just too high and being touched once all ready is MORE than enough. Unless someone wrote a contract which clearly states they are liable if the item is not as described.

Since no one else has come forward on being touched up I see no point in pursuing it. I'm in the market for a complete rig with a 160-170 main. average size/weight male. Willing to spend 3k. Who can help out? Im in NSW, AUS.

Anyway, to try and keep this post relatively on topic before it gets completely pulled. If you in AUS, pref SYD way, and been hard done by, PM me....

! Allow me to elaborate on this. Anyone who has had their house broken into, or had a possession stolen will understand the sickening feeling that comes with such an event. In my case, it upset me more than when my Grandmother died, and she was my ENTIRE world, until I found skydiving. So I pretty much started a COMPLETELY new life to fund this hole left from her death, only to once again have my world completely and utterly destroyed again. So yes, I felt violated, it felt like I had been raped of my chance to once again be happy. It would be all to easy to take matters into my own hands and see that he can never walk or talk again, but I'm not going to jail for that scum piece of dirt.

The problem with painting his address all over the internet is you make yourself a target if something were to happen to him, e.g. Gary gets murdered, you may have given someone the opportunity to perform a crime. Also it is encouraging people to go to his place to 'sort out business' affecting the 'people' that may be in the process of coming to some sort of an agreement with him.... Plus it's just plain petty bullshit that a two year old would do, have some balls and face up. Don't lower yourself to his level, because he'll beat you with experience.

My understanding is that there are a few people who are trying to take him to court. I am considering the option, as is a friend of mine. For this to have any chance, we need everyone directly affected by him so we can lodge a case together. Numbers always make the case stronger. What do we hope to get out of this? Well I know we'll get nothing because he has (apparently) jack shit. But I might get some kind of satisfaction that the Australian justice system isn't entirely f*&$%d. I started a new job, moved away from home, family and friends for more money to fund this rig. Whilst there I had my house broken into, had possessions stolen, had my bike stolen and been violated. Many of these things were going to be sold to or used as collateral to fund my rig. The mountains I moved, the promises I made and the assistance I received from locals to make a dream of mine come true, only to have this grub take everything of mine (literally) and then ask for more and keep giving lame ass excuses. So what I'm after is for some way to justify what I lost was worth it. Unfortunately he won't go to jail, he will get a two year suspended sentence with a parole period of 18 months following, but it will be better than him having a good time enjoying the spoils of my money.

I've been watching this thread for a while now. I paid a deposit, came across this thread, ignored it after nothing happened for a while and then came across it again once I found out I'd just lost over 8 grand on a rig.... This was one big failure from the beginning, unfortunately it took a while to finally crash, instead of a few short months like it should have.
