In a perfect world but we need to face reality here by taking responsibility for our own mistakes instead of blaming everyone else for not being perfect.

has anyone been able to verify that ther guy isnt dead or in hospital??


im on your side reefgirl i believe seller has a responsibility just as buyer does, just everytime i open this thread i cant help but think the ghuys prob in a coma somewhere lol sorry:P

I like to think Canreef is a small enough community, that people wouldn't dare try to take advantage, as their rep and name would be quickly tarnished if they did. I think it is good that shady deals and people are exposed, as in this thread. That goes for businesses as well. The seller always has a chance to defend themselves, if they feel they are wrongly accused, and people then can make up their own mind.

And I like it, too, when some sellers are questioned about their prices even by those that aren't buying, although I know the mods don't like it. But it keeps everyone honest, and helps protect the newbies.

Having said that, buyers should take whatever precautions they can with questions and pics, or better yet, buy locally and see the items yourself.

I belong to a couple small aviation forum communities as well, where a lot of used stuff gets bought and sold. And the regulars all look after each other. Any unscrupulous people are run off pretty quickly if they try anything shady.

This should not be like Craigslist or Kijiji. JHMO.

Don't need perfect, just decent.

Either way such expectations will lead to disappointment.

for real??




this has got to be prob the worst post ive ever heard on canreef, i disagree with it completely, sure must be nice to buy whatever you like whenever you like...." and this is why you dont buy used equipment" ......really???? really??? wow cant wait untill i have the pleasure of selling you something someday....your accountant must hate you:P

anyways have some respect for the girl who just got scammed, if you dont support here or think she is in the wrong then start your own thread and call it seller beware where you and all the reefconvicts can get together around the big evil table and talk about this weeks new scam and warning sellers of customers who may ACTAUALLY WANT WHAT THEY PAID FOR......



and why not try to run him off the board, let me ask you this mr reefocean, would you rather a board full of people who sell questionable products never post anything but sellables/buy or a board full of members who buy stuff based on honor and offer info, help, and friendly warnings of scams like mentioned...


you people are the reason we have locks on our doors.......


your post is 100% crap.......

Actually, I worry about that, too. I would rather refund the buyer if they are not happy with their purchase from me, as long as it is returned in the same condition as received. It is not worth arguing or bad feelings for the amounts we are dealing with here, even if the buyer is a jerk.

I always say to my buyers, if it's not working out for you bring it back for your money back. That way I can't hide anything.

Denny, for me, the fact that he edited his location and replaced his email address with a fake says he isn't interested in fixing the issue. He has been online during the period the buyer had been trying to get a resolution.

awww thats just to bad for her i feel bad, it sure is a shame when sometimes all it takes is a call and an apologie:(

me and my boss were talking about an employee who had stole some tools last week .....and then just dissappeared......we were saying that being honorable doesnt have to mean full refund or resolve untill the buyer is happy but a simply communication and an apology goes along way.

I completely disagree with Reef Ocean. What a load of crap. It must be nice to be so rich that you can afford to buy new whenever you want, not all of us are so fortunate.

This person has legitimate concerns regarding equipment that she was sold where the seller completely misrepresented it's condition.

I think the fact that the seller has been active on the forum but has refused any contact from the buyer shows his intent.

I buy and sell tons of stuff on my local forum. If I sell anything and the buyer is not happy I give them a refund. Any decent person should be willing to stand behind their sales.

The seller has had 5 pages of this thread to chime in and defend his actions and hasn't.

I fully agree with threads like this. Anyone else who may try to buy from this seller should be aware of his rep.

Reefgirl, sorry to hear about your bad experience and thank you for sharing it. I think this will help everyone, sellers and buyers. As a buyer, don't be afraid to ask for more info and pics. For the sellers, be understanding and see it from the potential buyers eyes and be able to provide as much detail as possible, show recent pics and not to take it as a nuisance or a bother. As for this guy, I'm sure he will get his retribution as I always believe that "what goes around comes around".

ask reefocean he seems to be on his side, he might know him.

Selling stuff
 

The seller and the guy saying he buys stuff all brand new can go and....
Flawless condition my ass. Thats the crappy thing about buying stuff that needs to be shipped. Unless you can see it in person, who knows what your gonna get when it arrives. Of course the guy isnt going to msg you back, he just got $$$$ for selling a broken piece of equipment. If your selling something used, you should be honest of the condition, and put the price according to condition. Thats just the way you sell used stuff.

I think this thread has made it's point. Closed.
