some years ago i had a thread in the beware section,long story shore a guy owed me 4300 bucks and he strung me along for a month,then he stopped taking my calls.shortly after i started my thread he contacted me saying he would deposit the money through a wire transfer if i removed the thread,i said when the money hits my account i will remove the thread.the next day when i checked my account the payment had been made,being a man of my word i contacted a moderater and requested the thread be removed.in this case i had to give my word to get my money.as much as would have liked to eave the thread up for others to be warned i gave my word.one thing i know for sure,the power of oso is amazing.
It's easy for all u guys to say till your in the situation . I have my word I would take it down and I value that . So in the end am I the bad guy ??? Sooner or later the guy would have *****ed to oso mods and it would have been pulled like many others have and i would still be out the $$$ .. So in ending anyone want to put up $1.200 I'll gladley put the post back up as long as I have my money back
Any takers. ????? Ya I didn't think so

Some years ago a well known member of this site, screwed me on a pair of sport masters, after numerous emails and phone calls met with a resounding thud and little action a well worded post on OSO got it resolved in a day...
In this particular instance the well known member pulled some strings and had the post removed, so it can unfortunately swing both ways, I would have much rather it been left up.

We all need to look out for one another and help each other out thats the way of our sport. It sucks becouse it is a double edged sword if you leave it up to possibly save someone else the hassle good chance you might not get your problem solved. Then if you get it solved by giving your ward that when it is you will taking it down and at that point you open up the chance for some one else to get burnt by the same guy. It sucks earth way and if people conducted there sales in a way that they would wanted to be treated there would be no need for a beware section. But that is unrealistic sadly.

No need to jump on him, you see the other side too. Part of the site is to help protect members from these predators and I get that sentiment, I also get your end of needing to get your money back, sort of a win-lose scenario but all here understand your position.

I am the original poster Gordon,and believe it or not its always about you,there has been many beware threads deleted your is just one of them,but this thread is not about you,its about all the people that take time to reply to these threads and than POOF its GONE!!!
I have to tell you Gordon I have bought parts from you in the past and spent some time talking to you on the phone,and you always were a gentleman and real nice,BUT on this site with some of your replies Gordon you come of sounding rather bitter and always rough,so for a guy that pretty much runs a business on OSO with just a Gold Membership try to be a little nicer with your replies,
I was NOT thinking of you when I started this thread,sorry if you thought this is about you,its not.
