he pecked my head then blanked me..obviously because my offer wasnt good enough

...and the door of opportunity closes to James, having been held open for much longer than some thought neccessary. He was given every opportunity & plenty of time to do the right thing.

Considering he has many boomers to sell, I'd say that wasn't a wise decision.

Eric would've been happy with a gesture of goodwill (no demands for a full refund here). He would've happily told us all that the ending was good & James could've then continued selling via s2g & build a reputation that may have even got him reinstated on Boomboxery (issuing demands really wasn't the way to do that).

ah well, life goes on.

...& don't you just hate it when Ira is right ?!   

well paul -

could have // should have been a 'happy ending' ..

especially for eric -

but ....

screwing members is all to predictable by this seller-

----------------

in the future --in case anyone is considering buying his items

(AT THOSE HUGE $$$ PRICES )--

just ask me FIRST -

i think i can post up a 'screw-proof' set of

buyer-beware steps

Check classifieds for a Stretch "refund" fundraiser. Killer deals on JVC straps, all PROFIT goes to Stretch on available straps.

kind idea, joe

--count me in

Ah geeze you guys, you're going to make me turn diabetic with all of your sweetness

All I can say is that i appreciate the support of this community immensly. The way you all banded together to sort things out, here and in other threads for other situations, it is simply the way that it should be. Take care of each member as you never know when you'll need their help one day.

I never asked James for a refund, or partial, or anything, although isolator42 is right, I would have been definitely happy with any offer of goodwill. I would have told you guys and this whole thing would have wrapped up better as I never meant to get James Banned from this forum too.

Ah well, this will become just part of the forum's code locked away in a database in a few months, but I still thank you all for being such good guys through the whole thing.

eric

too bad this had to happen,

James really messed up this time not taking care of this situation.

hey eric --you did NOTHING to help get him banned -

in fact --you are our next Frank Sinatra = COOL as one can ever be

twas prolly more my posts than anybody esle -

--but the real truth is --

that he banned himself

------------------------

anyway --not to worry --

surely all the dm4u fans will see him daily and forever-

on both sites -

and with new//fake names ..

just wait

Stretch,

I'm not a big poster on this forum, but I do think the way you handled yourself compared to how James handled the situation, shows what type of guy you are and what type of person James is.  For him not to respond (to you in private) and claim he was waiting for you to contact him as a reason (which you originally did with the issue) is totally disrespectful to you and to the members of this forum.  I can remember when he was originally banned.  I believe it was justified then and I believe it to be justified now.  It's good to give people another chance to rectify past mistakes, we all make them, but I think this shows James has not learned to be a good member of the community.  You on the other hand have shown patience calmness and understanding, which I believe we all could use a little more of around the forums.  If the other party involved had those virtues, this would have been solved.  Happy M50 hunting, keep looking because things usually happen for a reason.

Eric

This is a sad day....i REALY hoped matters could have been resolved here....but james had plenty time to resolve them.....i realy don't understand his demands to want to go back on boomboxery, after our discussion a few months ago

When i sell a boombox or any type of vintage electronics for that matter.... i sell it AS-IS. The buyer has the option to take the risk of buying it or not but that is HIS choice and i never force anything down anyones throat.... ever. When i buy a boombox or any vintage electronics of any type for myself...I ASSUME ALL THE RISKS and i never wine,bitch or complain about it because it was my option to buy or not buy and it was up to ME TO ASK ALL QUESTIONS "BEFORE" i bought it or bid....

Most sellers don't take radios ect apart before selling them and we need to accept that fact. We also need to accept the fact that these boombox radios are usually 20-30 years old and god know who played around inside them and tried to modify or repair them. That's a risk we all take and need to accept regardless if we like it or not....it's life.

 

The only times i will ever be pissed off at the seller is:

 

(A) He/She (the seller) did not describe the exterior physical condition correctly. EX: If he said it was in excellent physical (visible) condition and it was in poor condition with scratches ect and he did not describe it as such.

 

(B) He/She (the seller) did a poor job of packing and the radio or boombox was damaged due to his/her poor packing.

 

I never expect a seller to take a radio apart and start checking the speakers ect. That would be a little extreme to say the least. I would not want a seller to take it apart at all and if i know that the seller did so...i would never buy it in the first place.

 

Just my 2 cents worth...

He might do the fake names, as far as youtube goes, he history, it much bigger then any forum as millions goes on their, granted most people that are interested in boomboxes and walkman's are here, or tapeheads.net, so their goes most of his sales.

I actually feel sorry for him, he seem to be a extreme selfish individual, which is a serious case of "OCR", his videos and comments proved that. He need to seek professional help and quickly!!   

matrimonial I have nothing against him but sometimes annoying the man just on facebook, funny will never show his face, but always prove that he has more than the boom box, the other deals with the nuts :-( hardly what I posted what he has to post something twice as good or is more so is a poser
