Very dissapointing,
Recently I was trying to sell my Emag valve with a lvl10 installed, and Shank here only requested the valve (no lvl10). No problem since someone else opted for the lvl10 so all was good...
Well the negotiating went on as any ordinary internet dealing and I send a PM to all parties to confirm that the deal is good and gave out my paypal address, Got a posative responce from both people.
Payment was recieved from second party (not shank) and parts were shipped (remember I split up the valve and lvl10 as long as everything was spoken for)...
I find out that Shank here decides (after confirming the deal) to ditch it and leave me with a valve which will ultimatly be difficult to sell.
I've been trading over Automags Online for some time now (as my feedback shows) including my own product in Dealers forum, and I've never had a situation like this.
I justify leaving Bad Feedback due to his lack of ethics. I dont know Shank personally or know anything about him, but over the internet when you're buying/selling the only thing you can rely on is for the person you're dealing with to follow through on their end of the deal. The fact that not only did he confirm the deal by posting and negotiating the details, but then also a confirmation PM with a definate result; bothers me since the reason for those percautions is to give someone an oppertunity to back out without incident.
His lack of ability or his decision not to follow through with his end of the deal (after the fact) has ultimately left me in a difficult situation with a valve (boltless and without powertube peices untill I can get some) that I must sell.
I do warn everyone though, like I noted before, over the internet all you can count on is a persons word and good will to follow through with their end of the deal... which he has proven to me his inability to do so. This time I was fortunate to be the seller so the loss wasnt horrible, but who knows... next time it could be something valuable...
If anyone has any questions about the deal I speak of, feel free to contact me via PM or AIM anytime.
Here is a link to the thread which all of this happened, and if anyone is interested I do have the saved copies of the confirmation PM and others.
