downhill_biker Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I have tried to contact Jason at Coral Reef Pet Center for about two weeks with no success. Call the store, the cell phone, send him pm messages, ect. He acted very interested in helping me out by taking some of my corals when I moved in trade, but after a couple initial conversations it seems that he is ignoring me. I think this is very bad form. If he didn't want to do the deal after-all he should have told me. I have tried so many times to get him to talk to me privately, I see no other option. I have had some great dealings with Jason, but this one is really starting to get silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twogirls Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Jason is a very very busy man. He has the fish store and now trying to get the gun shop going. He can be hard to get a hold of by phone. I always just end up stopping bye and he is always very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCR Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Really sorry to hear that. He can be hard to reach I will give ya that. So what are you going to do then?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 I still want to talk to him, I guess I have to drive from Eugene to meet this busy man and have a conversation. I still would like this to work out, I dont want to move to Utah in a month and risk losing all of my corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikep503 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 He can be very hard to get ahold of at times, but I appreciate when I am at the store in person and he does not stop helping me just to answer the phone. Have you thought about throwing your corals up for sale on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 I have posted several up here for sale. I sold many, many frags a while back. It would be easier on me, and a good deal for the store, if he got them as a lump-sum. If it falls through you will see them up here for sale shortly.

downhill_biker Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Jason is very hard to reach, but he contacted me today. He still wants to buy my corals so all is good. He is just very busy. Very, very busy. He is still a great guy, apparently it was just a "phone tag" issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidalsculpin Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 So the deal is on for ya? Glad to hear it. I think you will get a good deal there, much better than down here. He deserves your business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SULLY Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Wow. I guess this is what I get for not having more time to watch this. I am glad we have spoke since this was started. As everyone knows, I am neck deep in trying to get both shops finished so I can focus on just normal everyday business practices. I have ALWAYS gone way above and beyond in helping my customers out and even helping customers that don't ever buy from me and just come in to get information. I never intentionally ignore phone calls, but when you are busy helping other customers, sometimes you have no choice. I can tell you that if you take the time to leave a message on the shop phone, I will take the time to call you back. If business ever picks up here in Salem for the aquarium side, I will be hiring someone to help. But as of now, business is still bad and I cannot afford to do that. So please try to have some patience with me when the phone rings. And PLEASE leave a message if I don't pick up. I will call you back. Sincerely, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Jason, I need to talk to you. I have been trying every way possible to get a hold of you. I am going up to Seattle on the 2-3 of May and would like to drop your corals off on the second, and maybe pick up my stuff on the 3rd. Salem is a long way to drive just to chat...(laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Man, sorry to hear of your troubles. Glad to hear it was worked out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 hasn't completely worked out yet. so far it looks like i am stuck taking all of my corals to utah and risk killing entire colonies instead of frags. hopefully SULLY sends me a pm or calls me and it gets worked out.

impur Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I can tell you that if you take the time to leave a message on the shop phone' date=' I will take the time to call you back.[/quote'] Sounds like a dumb question but did you leave a msg?

downhill_biker Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Sounds like a dumb question but did you leave a msg? Yeah, 2 of them. I also had people stop in, in-person, to remind him to call me. Jason...Where are you...(whistle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I haven't been by the shop........ at least when Jason has been there. So I have nothing for you Curtis sorry. I will stop if I am in the neighborhood and if Jason is in! BTW when is the move? How much time do you have? What is your back-up plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 The official move date is somewhere around the second week of May...yeah, official. Cora starts school on the 18th of may, so we can't be any later than that. We would really like to get over there and unpack though. So, you see why I am in a crunch. My backup is to sell as much coral as I can at reasonable prices. I am not going to get rid of a bunch of corals for free, just to keep from having to take them. If Jason doesn't take them I am basically figuring I will have to take most of them with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have a mostly empty 40b that I could use to house your old (my new) corals... Seriously, if you want to donate some low-light corals to the schools, I can take them and give them out to teachers. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhill_biker Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 I am very glad I went into the store last night. Had to wait about an hour just to talk to him because there were so many people there at the store. I knew he was busy, he is super busy. The new gun store is super nice. Tons of stuff, really looking nice. Everything went great. The deal is going through and should be able to happen next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
