nick, I might be able to hook you up w/ a guid cheap. I'll get back to you later.
Yep. I always kind of went under the assumption that members of this community were inherently more reliable than other random online sellers... Seems like that's not the case.Originally posted by BMXman
wtf!...geez it getting that you can't even trust you fellow moneys to act like decent people
it was all through RM PM.Originally posted by MMcG
I've bought stuff from Lax and he seems like a good kid - I know that others have received stuff from him in a timely manner too....(retrofred comes to mind)......I'll touch base with him to see what's up.
Hopefully the two of you can get this all resolved. Did you just correspond with him via email and IM or did you talk with him?
You're being way too nice about it, IMO. The guy has $45 of your money, and you don't "forget" about something after repeated contacts and lies about sending it. Regardless of other people's dealings, you've sent the money and he's not given you the product in return.Originally posted by nicklin
...i've been here a while and people have generally good things to say about him...
...i sincerely hope he just forgot about it...
...and I really hate to put him on the spot.

Just like when I get to the shop tonight, I will PM GravityfreakTJ with the tracking # for his Fork, so that he knows it has been sent and that it is in UPS's hands now.
For everyone railing the kid:
I've had alot of items get misplaced in the mail for quite some time before. One of which was a fork for Jesus for almost a month. I had no idea for 3 weeks that it hadn't shown, as we sent it ground. Alot of times bad things happen and you don't know why and/or what happened until it's too late. I say give him the benefit of the doubt once, if it happens again, I'll the the one holding the torch while we burn him at the stake.

i sent the money around the 24th or 26th of febuaryy, and on march 15th I send you a PM regarding the guide and two weeks later you said:Originally posted by laxincubus311
it has not been 3 months, its been about 1
Be careful with what you say here. From what niklin posted above, it has clearly been at LEAST two months, minimum, and considering he was inquiring as to whether or not the guide was lost, it looks like it was more like 3. Claiming otherwise does nothing but damage your reputation further...Originally posted by laxincubus311

derekbob, don' t be so hasty with judgement. Back in September and October I bought all the parts needed for a bike from the very good people here on Ridemonkey. Each one was upfront, honest and a pleasure to deal with and my son is riding a nice bike that I could not afford if bought new. I wish to Thanks to all of them again.Originally posted by derekbob
Monkey or no monkey, good faith internet transactions suck. Maybe I lost all hope in humanity, but I would never send a check/paypal to someone I had never met (in real life that is) and actually expect something in return.
This reminds me of a pinkbike thread I saw a long time ago where some american (or guy in america) had scammed some canadian kid into sending his bike off and he never sent any payment in return. So being pinkbike, a bunch of 15 yr olds started blaming america.
I know theres good ppl out there, but Id never bet more than 20 bux on it
oh I guess this is the part where we beg him to stay...be responsible for your actions and learn from them...running away solves nothing....DOriginally posted by laxincubus311
