pnkrcklives Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I will be keeping exact circumstances vauge. Till I decide(with your help) how to post my complaint. So here goes. A couple months ago I asked if anyone could provide a service for me. A fellow forum member said they could. After some discussion, I decided to let them perform the service. I then meet up with them at a LFS to exchange item to be serviced. Person says sould be done in a week at the most. A week later I ask if its done. I get a reply that they were really busy. But would do it in a couple days. That was almost two months ago. I have sent several pms, several text messages, and several voice mails. I can see they have not been on this forum for over a month. I even tried contacting via other listed screen names. Now comes my question. WHAT DO I DO?(scratch) Chaulk it up to a mistake and do nothing(besides what I have been), Chaulk it up to a mistake but put up a post as to what happened(to warn others), Put up a post and hope someone knows them(kinda already tried this), or talk to a local police department as to what my rights are(may just do this for info). Really I want no drama just my expensive item back. Thanks for all your help(sorry for the long rant)!(flame) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trautman Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 make an i trader report. also, in the member feedback part, bring up the details, perhaps it was a misunderstanding and light could be brought to the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 I was going to make an I trader report. After I had came to a resolution. I have not made a member feedback yet. Because I was hoping for a misunderstanding or an emergency out of town trip. But I think I will be posint one in the next couple days. Just wanted to see some others opinions first.

MVPaquatics Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Well in the eyes of the law you had a contract. Although verbal, he has breached. Emergencies are no excuse in a contract case. He still has an obligation to contact you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I would go to the person's house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thats the whole mistake on my part. I met him at a LFS since we would both be there any way(I did have LFS keep and eye out for him to return). Since thats the way it went down I only know the city he lives in.

racefan Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 If I recall correctly from reading you past thread, this is way too expensive of an item to chalk up as a lesson learned. Is the number your leaving messages at a home phone? (if so then he still lives in the area) have you tried tracking the address down by the phone number?

impur Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Shoot me a pm with the number i can probably get the address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 I am sure it is a cell phone. Since I contacted him through texts and phone calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisW Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I would definitely not let this go. I would get as much info as possible and then at the very least file a police report. Don't let criminals or lazy people off the hook so easy. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I think IMO this persons name should be shared so no one else is screwed by this person. He or she has to know you called or at least want your stuff back. So he stole from you and that is not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 I am just allowing ample time for resopnse. I am just trying to be a fair person. Although it is very tough to keep my mouth shut as I am reaching the boiling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 this person knows they need to contact you in my opinion I would post there name here and what they have as well and then contact your local police to see what options you have if this cant be resolved as a month is ample time when a week was first agreed upon time table and the non repy's just are no excuse.

Emerald525 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I have to applaud you Taylor for not just posting the name all over the forum and being patient and still trying to work this out. As far as Itrader you cannot post in ITrader unless you are a paid member. For those who are curious who the person is, it's not hard to figure out if you just look at previous threads. This is also a valuable lesson for people that just because they are a member of this forum does not mean they are reliable. I think the addition of Itrader will be a valuable asset but obviously not foolproof. I'm hopeful you will get your computer back and there will be the same work problem, family problem, animal problem, alien abducted my cell phone excuse even though a phone call takes 5 minutes tops.

jonas Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 There are a lot of great people on this forum and there are some shady ones. I have done some buying from a couple shady peeps on here and was a lesson learned. Sorry you have to go threw this. Just know that those type of people are every ware. But it's not how every body is. So don't let it ruin the hobby or forum for you. Just be more careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 I agree with you all. I hold no grudges against the hobby or forum/club. They are not responsible for any of the circumstances. I know I should be more careful. I thought I had done the proper homework. On another note it looks like this said person will not be getting the vehicle work I had promised to do for them. Kim I figured out I cannot post in I Trader. But I will be able to soon(I Decided to become an actual member at the next meeting!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Here is my final decision! I have sent one last message to all my contact info. It states that sergebmw3 has 24 hours to contact me or return my laptop computer. If not I will file a police report both in Beaverton and Vancouver. Really hate having it come to this but so be it. I just want my property returned no questions asked. I am even willing to pay for work performed, even though it got to this point. Thanks all for the input and help. I look forward to doing some good old fashioned honest buisness with you folks in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Good luck Taylor and let us know the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Another update. Almost as I typed the last posts he sent a text to me. It that he has just returned from russia, and his buddy was supposed to drop off my computer with me. We are now setting up a time to meet tomorrow to get my laptop. He is not charging me and giving me a gift card to try and apologize. I will keep you posted as to what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
