macnamar is the best dril = Bad
« on: August 29, 2003, 09:59:12 PM »
I purchased a used Roto Grip Silver Streak for 55.00 on August 5th.
Sent payment, payment was received and cleared the bank Sat August 16th.
I was told ball would be shipped by Tuesday 19th.  Ball wasn't shipped.  Still has not been shipped.  No contact from him for 2 weeks.  Poor form. I don't like people who say they will do something and don't.  That makes them a liar.  They have time to go to the bank but not the post office. Don't purchase from.

It seems that that all important word "communication" was the problem.  Warren, if you were handing off the ball to someone else, then you should have messaged the individual, that way he would know what the plan was to be.  Also, in the Marines there is a procedure for accomplishing a mission:

Begin the planning

Arrange a recon

Make the recon

Complete the planning

Issue the orders

Supervise(KEY WORD)

The planning began with the need to have someone ship the ball due to Warren having to go out of town (Begin the Planning).  He thought of who he would choose (Arranged Recon and Made Recon), and he chose his wife (Completed the Planning). The responsibility for shipment of the ball was given to his wife (Issued the Order), BUT there was no follow-up to ensure the task was completed (SUPERVISE).  It seems that keeping Landiscr informed, would have made ALL the difference in the world.

I would like to add that Landiscr should have dealt with Warren privately before going public.  It was not mentioned that Landiscr contacted Warren first.  After reading Warren's explanation, it appears that he did not LIE, but just failed to inform Landiscr what he had planned, and did not follow-up with his wife.  I always give out my number and e-mail address, so that communication is easy.  Hopefully this will be resolved, and that people would give others a chance to explain, not just wait for an explanation.  Also, if the word "liar" is used, that would apply to everyone, because how many lies does it take for a person to be called a liar? Answer; one (1), which I am sure that everone has done at least once in their life.  Before an individual is tagged as a liar, it needs to be proven that it is habitual.

Pheeeeeew!!!! Sorry, fingers got carried away!!  I would deal with either of these 2 individual users, if there was not a Doug Sterner living.

There is no doubt that there is a chance landiscr is being shafted. If the money order was sent then we shall see soon, it does not take forever for the mail to arrive.

And the reason people are reacting the way they are ibowl300 is because far too many people have been shafted buying/selling through this site. And it may not have been as bad for warren if he had not started getting overly defensive.

Ok so if the wife fouled up the shipping where did the ball end up?  Just curious.

Funny, this is the second time in one day we've heard "Sorry, the wife fouled up the shipping".

What a lame excuse. Not only is the person not coming through with their part of the deal, but they aren't even man enough to admit fault. They blame their wife, a person who not only they've vowed to protect & honor, but also probably doesn't read the forums & can't defend themselves.

What a load of hooey.
