Beware, TB member Krinkle5 ripped me off

[ibnzneksrul]

On 4/29 I responded to this thread

BBE OPTO STOMP, DIGITECH BASS DRIVER, BOSS POWER SUPPLY

for the Digitech Bass Driver. We agreed on the purchase, he told me he would ship on Friday 5/4, and I told him I would get a postal money order in the mail to him the next day (Monday 4/30) so that he would get it by the 4th, which I did. The last I heard from him was on the 4th, in a PM he told me he had received the M.O. but didn't ship that day and couldn't ship until days later for some unknown reason. Numerous PMs and emails have gone unanswered since then, he hasn't been around TB at all, and I'm out $50 with no pedal. Not a lot of cash I know, but I work for a living and that's 50 bucks I could have put toward something else.

He does have 1 positive feedback point, which I thought was an indication of honesty. I was wrong. Do yourselves a favor and steer clear of this thief if he ever shows up here again selling gear.

I understand you are upset about the lack of contact, and that is a totally legit beef and a reason to worry, but it has only been one week.

A little short on the time line to start screaming witch hunt, but thanks for the heads up.

[ibnzneksrul]

9 days with zero contact is plenty of time to sound the alarm.

Unless he's laying in a hospital bed or a morgue somewhere, this is totally inexcusable.

[markjazzbassist]

good luck getting in touch with him. i hope it all works out.

Seems strange a supporting member for over a year would do that?

Has anyone heard anything from them in that week?

Seems to me like you're making a bit of a knee jerk reaction.

The guy could have all kinds of problems going on that you don't know about. I'm sure that he'll sort you out, just give it time. ATEOD it's only fifty bucks.

Last TB activity by Krinkle5 was on the 5th. Let's wait until he has a chance to see what's up before we throw him to the wolves.
