[freakrock]

holy crap!
i hope this is just some kind of misunderstanding

 

[muddy beast]

dude...thats exactly why you dont buy bikes from people online. If its not on ebay (no coverage) then dont buy anything worth more then 100-200 bucks.

If you dont get your bike, I'm REALLY sorry. It sucks to learn lessons the hard way.

If you do get it and its just lost in the mail right now (since their large packages) then you got really lucky.

Way to ruin the hopes in a decent comity for all of us. Why not offer this guy some help instead of desperation in a system that, overall, works quite well.

 

[SteezyWeezy]

its paypal, u'll be fine, just keep emailing, if still no return, file for fraud on paypal, or something like that?

yup. paypal can help out

 

[Sir_Crackien]

from my experience paypal WILL help and in a big way. they are pretty cool in that aspect. they really care about their rules/regs and their reputation of being fairly safe.

i have a fraudulent charge in my name through their system before and they got everything taken care of very quickly (think in hours not days)

 

[mandown]

that sux. i've had nothing but good luck selling and buying here on ridemonkey. good luck to you.

 

[rosenamedpoop]

It sounds as if Wicked Cool is definitely not wicked cool. Maybe he should go by "Complete A$$hole" instead.

well, let's give both parties a chance to settle the issue before we hang one of 'em.

wrong, ive had nothing but good deals from ridemonkey, you just need to buy from credible people who have a reputaion as being good sellers

Pushover diplomacy will get you nowhere. Shoot first, ask the smoldering remains a question or two if it makes you feel fuzzy. America.

 

[rosenamedpoop]

On second thought, let's just hang 'em both and be done.

 

[muddy beast]

Well Im not discrediting ridemonkey or the users by any means, being a seller myself and buying things from users I know most people are good and will follow thru with the sale. I'm simply saying that unfortunatly not all the sellers out their will follow thru with sales, and as a result, for most cases its best to not purchase bikes on any classifieds when not in person. (Because of their high value, and pay out...which can be a scammers dream).

 

[juaking]

guys, i talked with paypal and they are going to do an investigation...
So, i sent a mail to JOHN CONN telling that, and he answered!!:

my mail:

don´t be stupid john, why you don´t answer my mails? i wanna my money back, or my BIKE. i´m talking with paypal and they are helping me alot... i know where you live, how old are you ( 18 years)..everything. I´m going to call your parents if you don´t answer this mail.

and he answer veeery quicly this:

yo man, but i promise it was sent, it took a while because the shop i work
in is awful, and they ****ed up and never shipped it. so i had to take it to
the ups store myself, it should be to you by the end of the week


i HOPE that it is true...

what do you think guys?

thanks for read.

 

[LordOpie]

Email him and get the tracking number. If he doesn't respond, proceed with the paypal complaint. If he does, track the bike. Also, inspect the bike thoroughly while the UPS guy is there. Do NOT sign if it is unacceptable.

 

[juaking]

yes, i forgot write that... i email him to get the tracking numer... i am waiting!

 

[Red Bull]

It sounds as if Wicked Cool is definitely not wicked cool. Maybe he should go by "Complete A$$hole" instead.

assuming its the same wicked cool, i sold him my DHR a few weeks back. i'm pretty positive he didn't scam you or beat you for your money. according to the conversations i had with him he sold his bike...which must have been this big hit.

ill send him a link of this thread on a forum he visits more often, im sure everything can be straightened out.

that is the idea....
for now, i am waitting the tracking number.

thanks.

 

[Kornphlake]

Chill out man, I bought a fork a few years ago from a guy who used to post alot here, it was sent USPS priority mail w/o a tracking number. The darn fork took about a month to arrive, USPS gave me a bunch of BS when I requested to have the shipping charges refunded saying that priority mail is not guaranteed delivery and the express mail always takes priority, apparently it had been waiting in a warehouse in wisconsin for a month while the baskets full of express mail passed it by. In the end it all worked out, the guy was not trying to cheat me, in fact I got a super deal even with the slow shipping and when it appeared that the fork had been lost he offered to refund the money.

I'd be a little leary of buying from someone who isn't a regular or who can't provide a positive connection to an ebay account with a good rating, other than that the classifieds are pretty good here compared to most sites that are riddled with scams and stolen property.

In defense of the OP, the seller claimed to have sent it via UPS.

Does UPS have a ship option without a tracking number?

more than just simple words.
it's a lifestyle embraced.

 

[A.P]

I can assure you Wicked Cool isnt scamming you...the bike may be late but I know him personally and he isnt that kind of guy. Ive sold him many things in the past and see him at races all the time. Your bike will arrive, dont worry dude.

 

[DH biker]

IM him... I belive his screen name is crshbrn1313

 

[dhbuilder]

seriously now.

i hope you get your bike and this was all just a shipping or communications snafu.

Great to hear you got your fork, but that's hardly the point.

"he sold to me a bike..
a big hit ,3 weeks ago, and it didn´t arrive yet.. (new jersey).
he doesnt answer the mails..and i dont know what can i do..."

That's the part that get's me. Didn't answer his email until he's threatened. Shady supreme. I'd have zabasearched the guy and flown out for a little batting practice on his kneecaps.

[funkendrenchman]

I've bought at least 50 items, many several hundred or more on forums, and I have never been screwed. You just gotta know who you are dealing with. I've probably saved a couple thousand over the years by buying online.

 

[wicked cool]

hey man have you gotten the bike yet? the ups store told me you would have it by friday. i'm sorry bout the confusion man, but like i already told you over email there was a mix up at my shop with the bike nad they never sent it, so i had to take it myself and send it through the ups store, it took my longer hten it shoulda to get it shipped because i'm insainly busy right now. (high school graduation, state tourny for lax, work, moving). you should have the bike right now if it shipped with ups on scheduale let me know man.

At this point, you NEED to PM the tracking number to him.

Anything less suggests that you still have not shipped the bike.

Well played, Lord.

 

[MouseMonkey]

I have always found that I can tell within one or two emails whether or not the seller/buyer is a loser. You ask a few questions. If the answers are vague, hurried, incomplete or if the buyer is extremely slow to reply, don't deal with him.

I have never been ripped off and I have bought/sold tens of thousands of dollars worth of bike stuff online. The best buyers and sellers are always prompt, they will answer your questions, and they will stay in contact with you. If it sounds like some dumbass on the other end, stay away. Simple as that.

I hope you get your bike. Sounds like a good ride.

[altix]

ride monkey should be able to track wicked cools IP adress, and then you match it to his paypal acount or something, let the pwnage begin

 

[rosenamedpoop]

i'm sorry bout the confusion man, but like i already told you over email there was a mix up at my shop with the bike nad

Ahh...all this misguided animosity, us blaming you Wicked Cool. I feel so bad now, knowing it was "the bike nad" all along.

And to think you were gonna' be lynched!
