I never thought I would have to do this.

So i bought some Moment Bibbys with sth16's from him. I have bought from him before(hellbents) and had no problems and was very satisfied.

Well I bought the Bibbys on October 4th. He hasnt been on since October 6th.

I have communicated with him through email. but he has not responded to my last 4 emails. Here is are convo.

Now i kind of trust this guy, he seems like a good guy, and like before he has hooked me up in the past.

Im looking for NS's help. If anyone knows him and can let him know im getting worried that would be awesome. I think im going to move to the paypal dispute here soon. Butif anyone knows him. can you please have him check his mail.

Also i noticed he responded from his droid, so i was thinking that he probably seen my last 4 emails.

Thanks

I've also got a pair of 165 Line Prophet 90's in good condition I could loan you for the season if you actually can't get skis. I know they are small, but hey it's better than nothing.

Just pay for the shipping I will be more than happy to loan them to you for the season (I'll pay for the shipping, you can reimburse me). Or if you get out to california for some reason you can just pick them up. They are mounted with some rossi axial 12's at +3 295bsl. I learned on these bitches.

Keep me updated, sounds like one day you might get your skis but dude is lazy.

I sent a couple of texts, just to start things off. If i dont get a response im going to call him.


I also sent him a nice email explaining to him how he cant get away with this, and if he is in fact scamming me, i have all his information and will find a way to sue him or something.

He said this in the comments.

I find it funny because he would not respond to any of my emails.

If i got responses no big deal if im waiting. But after awhile you just dont know.

What he said:


Note from merchant
Unfortunately your lack of patience is relatively perturbing, especially considering the super deal you were getting. I understand the timeframe was unusually long. I apologize for any inconvenience inflicted by the wait.

UPDATE:

He issued a refund and im getting my money back.

I feel now that he wasnt trying to scam me, but his communication is not very good, which lead to me believing that he was scamming me.


I am talking to him now and everything is working out. Thanks to everyone that was trying to help.

Dude, you sound just like a beaten wife. I mean, as soon as he's like "I'm sorry baby", there you go all "I know you didn't mean it, you're so misunderstood".

This was a scam, if you can't see that you've got some fucked up stockholm syndrome. If it had been me I wouldn't have let this guy have more chances to fuck over people down the rode. I would have called the cops and reported a theft across state borders. But that's me, and I fucking hate scammers.

road not rode.

And seriously, if he wasn't scamming let him prove it. Tell him to ship the skis COD today and see if you get them. If you do, he's just a fuck up. If you don't or he won't do it, he's a scammer.

Ya i know i do seem like that, but i think he jsut has bad communication.

I am trying to work something out were he sends me the skis and i pay him once they get here.

If it doesnt sound good when im talking to him, i will forget it and find skis somewhere else.



Warning to Buyers from embracedbyleaves, he does have very poor communication i do not believe he is actually trying to scam people but he is inconsistent on his service and can make you worry. You can be the judge on whether or not he is a scammer or a lazy communicator.

Yea, for sure do cash on delivery (COD). UPS offers it for $7 on any shipment, so all you have to do is give them a check or money order when the skis get there. He owes you for dicking you around for a full month, so he should be willing to do that if he's for real.
