To wit:
Last fall I advertised a Icom SM-8 microphone on QTH. His was the first of many responses I had (including some that were willing to pay more than I was asking). I emailed him that it was his and he was going to pick it up the next day. I emailed the rest and told them that it had been sold.
Next day no Greg! At least 10 emails and countless phone calls (all to an answering machine) over the next two weeks and I gave up.
On 1-11-04 he advertised a TV2 tube tester on QTH. I emailed him and told him I would take it. Again he was going to deliver it on monday. No Greg again!
I have emailed him repeatily with no response. I left several messages on his answering machine but he does not return calls. I know he has been home since he has placed other ads, so the out of town bs doesn't quite get it!
Last night I tried to call him and the phone line was busy for a while. I kept trying until it wasn't busy, then all I got was an answering machine. I guess he doesn't even have to courage to try to defend himself, so he chooses to hide behind his answering machine.
To sum it up, he hasn't ripped me off for any money, only something more precious, my time! I pride myself on being true to my word, it's a shame that some others don't seem to think that matters. Perhaps they should think about it a little and realize that all they can take out of this world is their reputation.
