My Really Bad Experience with Davy Jones Locker

[MedRed]

I haven't been around in awhile. I moved to California in 2010, so I've shacked up with the clubs down here. I never told anyone my really bad experience with Davy Jones locker. I guess it doesn't matter now, as I'm not sure if they even still exist.

 

I used to do all of my business with DJL. I bought practically everything from them, and they would special order things for me. When the store ended up being just Dave, I still made them my primary store. In December of 2009 I had very short notice that I would need to move to California. I didn't have time to sell of all of the stuff from my tanks (I had 9 FW and SW tanks). So I had to scramble to make arrangements. Dave agreed to buy everything from my tank (Live Rock, Fish, Corals, Inverts) for $500 with the possibility of more if things sold for more. If you remember my build thread, I had a lot of nice ORA pieces, dendros, ricordeas, ORA clowns, etc. $500 was under valued by a lot, but I didn't have many options.

 

The catch was that he would send me a check for the +$500 in 2 months time after I moved. The move came and went and 2 months later I tried to contact Dave. Calls and emails went unanswered. I called Doug and told him that I was going to post on the board about it if Dave wasn't willing to contact me. I guess Doug was able to get in contact with Dave as I finally received a call from Dave. He told me he'd fallen on hard times, but promised to pay me. He asked if I'd accept installments starting with the following week. I said ok.

 

Needless to say it's been 2 years since I moved and I've never seen a penny. It's really sad with how much money I spent with Dave and to be taken advantage of. I was one of his best customers and ended up being lied to and having my stuff stolen from me. I thought I'd finally get this off of my chest.
