Actually, at this point the person getting their stuff in a timely fashion with no hassles would be the oddball.

I know in life gak happens and it sucks so I wish him the best. But I know that an additional 15% discount isn't really worth all the headache that a lot of people have gone through.

I have not purchased from GT but it will take a lot more than "I got my stuff after a 2 month wait" to get me to actually make a purchase.

Well, ultimately success or failure is judged by the outcome. I hope I haven't thrown my money away, but we shall see in time whether I have acted foolishly or not.

I just wanted to give it a go to give this guy a fresh start and a fresh chance at making good. That, and I was heartened by some of the people in this thread reporting flawless transactions start to finish.

Ultimately, Dakka shall hear of the results of my transaction, good or bad.

I'm thinking about putting a line in my sig with the results.

And as far as which faction is the "odd-ball"; I'm waiting for someone to dive back through this thread and start spewing statistics and vitriol. C'mon, you know it's coming.

You have to remember, this guy has no real reason to ship anything. He no longer has his GW account, for whatever reasons you want to believe.

I was hesitant to say anything before I got my refund for fear of reprisal. Think of how many people are in the same boat who have not posted, or just dont know about the thread.

You mean like 95% of statistics are made up?

I think you made that up, TwoTalk.

Statistically speaking you just might be right.. lol

But I thought 60% of the time, statistics were right all the time?

No thats sex panther, which 60% of the time it works all the time.

Yeah, you kinda killed the joke, GhostDark. But that's ok, it was mediocre at best anyway.

I thought the joke was funny... At least I did until Ghost in the Darkness killed it for me. :(

Back on, and things still aren't right?!?

That's not good.

$16 is $16, but at least it's "only" a double-digit loss.

I dont always agree with JHDD, but from now on I am going to trust his gut about buying online, not mine.

$250? Ouch.

I assume you shipped anyways, because you simply used the APC unit to print postage and get DC#s.

I dont know what "bad feelings" you could possibly be having

Sorry I removed all personal decision making process from your life when it comes to business transactions, but im sure JHDD's guidence will be better then nothing, because, hey- If you dont have a forum of peers to make up your mind for you, then what do you have?

Ahem. *THIS* is how you start "professional" business communications to a Customer? Really?


As of my last post, I thought (and hoped) that was done with this thread, and perhaps, that is what you assumed.


However, as you called me out directly, I feel that I ought to share a few very frank and uncensored thoughts with you about conducting "business" over the Internet. First and foremost, business over the Internet is still Business. That means that morally and legally, you are obliged to honor your Customers payments and to deal with people in an ethical and professional manner. I believe that you have a *long* way to go in all of those regards.

You mention my guidance to the "Customers" that you have defrauded to date, and quite frankly, if it were personally up to me, my guidance would have been to have them all:
- force credit card chargebacks on you,
- take you to small claims court for default judgement,
- open Internet fraud cases with the FBI,
- open mail fraud case with local PD.
When it's my money in the hole, I'm something of a hard-ass.

Similarly, I would have advised people not to send a penny of new business until it was proven that you had made good on all of your promises with your existing Customers. Again, being completely frank and honest based on your behavior and actions, you look like a scammer. And until everybody who ordered things from you is fully-satisfied, that's how I'm going to look at you.

Again, talking business here, if you can't step up, I suggest that you get out of the game.

I for one vote for the above posts to be removed by the mods as it doesn't add to the thread and seems to be aimed towards creating conflicting discussion rather than assisting.

that and all the spam posts before it as well.

Well, unfortunately, that would be about 80% of this thread.. Too much mudslinging .

John is being a dick again, a pessimistic dick at that.

He's out for reactions and responses and that is my response to his constant unwanted and needless input.

Mod Alert should be your response. Personal attacks are NEVER the answer. For a reminder of the Dakka rules, click on Rule #1 in my sig.

And you, JohnHwangDD, your post was unnecessarily inflammatory, doesn't add to the topic, and violates Rule #1 (which you also have a habit of doing). Go ahead and give the Rule #1 in my sig a click also and sharpen yourself up on the Dakka rules.

Since you all have managed to so wonderfully derail this thread, I'm locking it as well. For those of you who would like to continue the discussion On Topic, please start a new thread.
