Quoted from PinMonk:A YEAR? That's extreme patience.
Was this the ad? https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/transformers-decepticon-violet-limited-edition-1-of-125-1
He's sold a bunch of backglasses, etc since then so his email and phone works for that. Sounds like a lot of excuses.
I don't know how Pinside's ad system works , but The seller marked his ad as "not sold".
Quoted from ImNotNorm:But we're the legs imamaculate?
I dunno. Let me rub my Magic 8 ball.
Quoted from wtuttle:Fun fact: as many of you undoubtedly know, lawyers typically use process servers to serve their documents. The reason? The cost is minimal (and typically borne by the client). In Canada, it's about $50 + mileage for an attempt at service, and $50 for an Affidavit of Service. The Affidavit of Service is a sworn document that proves service was, indeed, effected upon a given individual. In this case, I intend to personally serve Autodlr, even though he lives 220 miles from me. It just so happens I'm headed for a bit of Rn'R at one of our Rocky Mountain hotels, and his hometown happens to be on the way to Lake Louise from where I live.
Once the court filing is made, the Statement of Claim document is public and can be viewed by anyone. As such, once filed and stamped by the clerk of the court, further details will be published here with an image of the front of our lawsuit if this matter is not resolved to OP's satisfaction within the next 14 days. In Alberta, the front page of a lawsuit at our Provincial Court includes full name and address for service of all parties to the action. I sincerely hope this is not necessary, but if it is, Autodlr brought it on himself.
This entire situation makes me sick to my stomach, as I'm sure we all have dreams of acquiring a sought-after pin, even if it involves cross-border shipping. Imagine telling your wife about the pinball machine you've just paid for and it never arrives? Months go by and you feel like less of a man because of what someone else did. That's why I'm pursuing this--it could have happened to me. Appreciate the kind words and positive vibes from many of you.
Thank you for the explanations in layman's terms.
I guess my question are these: Are you going to be knocking on his door, or is the RCMP going to pay the visit? What happens if he is not at home or does not answer.? Does someone sit on his address until he comes home?
Quoted from jusflyinby:Right, wrong or indifferent, I've been holding it as leverage. He continuously told me how important feedback is and that he will do whatever it takes to get the machine to me, even if he discounted the price or would waive the final additional payment, to ensure I wouldn't leave bad feedback. He had my money and the machine and I just thought I had no other recourse but to hold the bad feedback over his head. In my mind if I had moved forward with reaching out to the community or dropping the bad feedback, he'd have no further motivation to complete the transaction.
I under estimated how much help the community here could offer and now wish I did say something earlier.
I don't think it is much leverage anymore. I'd hammer that POS.
Quoted from jusflyinby:I've been googling all sorts of payment methods and unfortunately it seems so many have an 'out' of sorts:
-Accepting a wire transfer makes me vulnerable as I need to give up private banking info so he can send it, which I plain do not trust him with that info.
-Paypal I've seen on here time and again and even in this thread itself that banks can reverse a 'friends and family' transfer. Google returns the same results.
-Money Orders it appears once you cash the check the sender is sh*t out of luck unless they file a criminal investigation against you claiming you stole the funds somehow.
I'm definitely trying to research and investigate on my own, I just want to make sure I do not make a mistake again and see if anyone has any better ideas or experience.
@phatjay I'll talk to Winston but I don't believe we have 30 days at this time.
Talk to your banker about your concerns of information of your bank account. I could be wrong but I think your fears are unfounded.
Bank wire is the way to go, IMO. I bought a pin from Canada and the bank wire worked perfectly.
Once the money is on your account it is yours. And yours alone.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Nothing this guy says is true. It's been over 2 years and excuse after excuse. I can't pay because I'm not working....I can't pay because I'm going back to work....the pin is in the mail..blah blah blah
This guy is a master at stringing people along in the hopes they just gut frustrated and give up. Serve the fucker already!!
PS - I wire transfer to the US and it's there less than 24 hours later. I would never send two payments because I would then be paying two bank fees. And wire transfer fees aren't cheap.
I did a bank wire to a pin retailer in Vancouver. It was almost an instant transaction. My pin was shipped the next day.
Quoted from albummydavis:Get him legally tangled up—you’ll be amazed at how quickly he finds the cash. Start making this expensive for him
Could be the equivalent of trying to get blood from a turnip.
Quoted from albummydavis:I’ll never see the money and would spend 10s of 1000s to get a court order and still never see it. All you can do is make their life so uncomfortable the debtor decides to toss you a crumb in the hope you go away.
Give Dexter a call
