WA3FKZ Harry Large Bad comms, can't make up his mind.

Post by W1JCW »

I had a deal going with Harry and ran into some issue. First of all the guy doesn't stay in touch with you when you phone him and email response is slow.

I made a deal to buy a 2m radio from him, sent the PP instantly as I indicated yet the radio wasn't shipped 5 days later when I was told it would be. I phoned him for an update on the shipping, no return phone call, no email. Two days later I get an email and the guy cannot even phone me to discuss his issue. It seems he thought he had an issue with his dual bander so he was not selling me his 2m rig !! xxx !! If he had shipped it as he said he would 5 days earlier I would of had it already..

You would think someone would phone you to discuss things and apologize but I get an email, finally 5 days later. He then asks for my PP address to send me a refund..WTH...He had it as I sent him the funds previously. I provided it and yet still waited a few more days no comms and I sent two more emails inquiring about my refund.

It gets better..after I make a deal else where that costs me more money the guy says, I had a friend come by and fix my problem..yeah probably the squelch turned up and he wanted to know if I still wanted the rig !!! Are you kidding me...give me a break..

I know everyone has their own issues but come on, at least call folks back you screw up a deal with, plus took up their time and cost them more funds because of your lack of sense.

I always go out of my way to stay in touch with the party I am dealing with, buying or selling and if I do something dumb I certainly phone them and apologize.
