A dilemma

Post by Britboy »

What would you do?
I listed some parts here for an Interceptor. The parts were new and I offered them for free. Just pay the shipping charges. Several JOC members responded positively. I unpacked my parts, laid them out, photographed them so the "buyer" could see what he was getting. I determined the shipping costs and received the OK and mailing address from the member to whom I had emailed the photos. I carefully packaged the parts, took them to the post office and sent them expecting to see my costs reimbursed to the tune of CDN$84.
The parts were received in the UK June 7. Said member has not paid and now refuses to acknowledge my emails and private messages sent on this forum.
Trust me; it's not the $84. It's the other members who could have used the parts and were cheated by a fellow member.

Most annoying. Did they originally respond via the forum?

I understand your point Britboy. From what you have said it is not behaviour befitting of our club. Feel free to PM me.

It’s happened to me too.
Upon recorded delivery threat of publication contact suddenly resumed with a tidal wave of excuses of the ‘My granny fell off her motorbike’ variety.
I hope all goes well from now on.

Brit & Barrie (and Karan) should touch base. If it’s the same person, then they should be exposed, as that takes it to a different level….

Just my £.o2….

Good idea Rocky and astute. Britboy and Barrie - what do you think? I understand if you want to keep private.

Terrible behaviour. They should be removed from this forum and the club unless there is a realistic explanation.

There's always two sides to a story. Perhaps you should wait for the outcome before making such sweeping statements.

This sort of thing has happened from time to time. Usually a quiet word resolves it.

You’re quite right Keith!
I think I let my cynicism take over in view of the excuses I received.
I’m sure Britboy will be luckier.

You are correct. That's why I said "unless there is a realistic explanation".

By way of background, 3 or 4 members had expressed interest in my unused set of sheepskin seat inserts. I responded to the first one. He is the one who has reneged. He may have lost interest or found the inserts don't quite suit his car. But still.......
I have sent him an email indicting I will reveal him to the forum if I don't hear from him this weekend. If it comes to that, perhaps another interested member near London can secure a new set of inserts for himself?

Perhaps someone who had expressed an interest in this set of sheepskin inserts, might try to touch base with him. I can forward his home and email addresses via PM if required.
