[Positive Resolution]RickinFL left me hanging.
on: April 15, 2014, 06:29:04 PM
I bought 2 sets of cellidor scales from Rick in February.  After a couple of weeks with no notification, I contacted him.  He was apologetic and said he would ship them out.

It has now been over six weeks since I paid him.  I have not received the scales and he is ignoring my PMs.

What a shame.  Rick outwardly seemed like an upstanding guy from his dealings here on MTO and his facebook page, but this experience has proved to me otherwise.  This is the only deal that has been negative for me in the eight years I've been an MTO member.

Any update on this?  I'd hate for someone to be doing business here by giving members the business.

I'm surprised.

he seemed like a decent guy.

I was burned twice on edcf.

I know how you feel. I just can't understand some people. They can just change.

Still no scales, no refund, no response to any of my PMs.  I've pretty much given up on anything happening. 

Thanks for asking though.  :tu:

He and I are still members of EDCF.  There's no point in checking there.  He's active here, he is just ignoring me.

He still is.  He hasn't been very active though.  So far no negative posts there.  I've been talking to enki via PM with more details.

Hopefully this info is ok to post.  Sorry, Grant if it's not.  Please remove if applicable.

I hate this for you man, I had him custom build me a sak with no issue and for a great price (I supplied all the parts). It did take a while but satisfied with the outcome.

What kind of scales were they?

I have an extra set of black plus scales if you want them, doesnt fix the problem but at least you get some scales. I can ship the to you Friday if you want.

Thanks for the gesture.

I don't really need the scales.  I just need what I paid for.

RickinFL is the same as Mikey Likey on Facebook and iModSak right? Now I know who not to deal with, it's a shame because I was interested in some of his GitD stuff.

I'm maybe quite late with this question, but what country is that guy from?

I'm asking because not long ago a friend of mine shipped a parcel from Bulgaria to Qatar and the freaking thing reached Qatar in over a month or so... Also, last year I bought some paracord bracelets from eBay... I didn't receive them after two months or so and the dealer refunded me. Guess what happened after another month? I got the bracelets, too, apparently they'd been stuck somewhere..

I'm pretty sure most of you are pretty experienced with international shipping, though......

I'm sorry to hear you didn't receive your stuff, that really sucks.

WOW.  ALL this BS for 20 bucks worth of plus scales! 

The delay was I was building you a custom ALOX to make up for the crap on my end.

I guess now if you forward your email address I will MORE thank happily refund your 20 bucks!!!

26.80 was refunded to the op.  I want to thank the op for the life lesson.  It was my fault period.  No excuse. 

I believe there are 3 members here I have sold knives to and I believe all 3 received them in a timely fashion and at a very, very nice price.  Sad to see that one mistake can take things so far.  Understanding that this was all caused by my own actions, it is a bit more than it was worth. 

With that, I hope this matter is closed.

And the Christian/gentleman thing to do is ship your scales to you for free.  I will rebalance myself this morning with a good gesture and a cup of coffee. 

Have a good day everyone.

That is a kind gesture, but please understand that after 8 weeks + of no communication, it appeared to me that you ran off with my money.

Let me be quite honest here.  A few guys live on this forum and others.  Pulling some 20 hr shifts leaves me precious little time.  I am sorry, period.  I would love to continue apologizing and attempting to right a wrong but I now need to go the job that actually pays my bills.

Good day to all.

Everyone goofs up, forgets things, etc.  But ignoring PMs over several weeks while you are still checking in on MTO goes just a little beyond making one forgetful mistake, you know?  It was volitional.  Just keeping it real.  Glad to see everything is straightened out, though.

Like so many things in this world, good communication - in this case just sending one PM - would have made all of the difference.  Rock on.

Yeah.... I have some experience with such sales over the forums in my own country. When there's money involved and when actually YoU have been given money, if it were me, I'd check quite often for PMs, for the "client's" opinion, changed decision and so on. Seems like that's business just like any other, which could also pay your "bills" or something else. It's still money.
