Bob the Angry Potato

[Skruface]

Sadly, I was hoping it would not come to this.

On or about march 30th, Bob made a post (which I am currently not able to find with search function) about having access to CYMA Galils.

I inquired, and he noted he had one Galil *IN STOCK* (this is important, and relevent to later conversations).

But yeah, a new FMU Galil just kinda... sitting here, staring at me dejectedly. You're the second person to ask, but the first person's a dick.
$420 takes it? -

Eventually, we struck a deal for a price of $390 plus $20 shipping.

I totally didn't see you were Skruface... holy shit.
I love your posts. $30 discount, if that means anything to you.

Your address? Just a note, it may take 2-3 days to ship. I'm in an administrative clusterfuck right now.
Shipping is $20.
Happy pre-birthday, btw.

Thanks again bro.

Now, about 2 weeks pass, and I've been watching for my parcel, or at least a pickup slip. After a little while, I PM Bob:

April 12

Thanks

And then....


Nothing

During the next few weeks, it becomes apparent Nathan's had issues with his ex-roommates. I feel bad for him - crappy situation; it's happened to friends of mine. I decided to give the guy a break and wait a little longer.

Forward to May 21st.

I see this post in Nathan's sales ad:

I'm in the process of helping him sort everything out with everyone. I should get a call from him tomorrow.

So, I decide I should get in contact with Amos to find out what's going on.

I paid in full for a CYMA Galil that he had in stock back at the end of March. All he had to do is drop it in the mail (assuming he wasn't BSing me and he really did have it in stock).

I sent him my shipping address immediately. At the end of April I pm'd him asking what was going on (I knew he was having issues at the time)...said he lost my postal code.....I sent it again...haven't heard anything since.

For reference, my shipping address is:

XXXXX XXXXXXX
XXX XXXXXXX XX
XXXXXXXX, XX
XXX XXX

Thanks in advance for helping if you can,

James

Fast forward to June 17th.

I see another post in Bob's thread, this time by cbcsteve:

http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthr...=70070&page=28

So, I contact him about the situation.

Paid in full (including $20 for shipping) for a CYMA Galil from Bob on March 29th.

Gun should be shipped to:

XXXXX XXXXXXX
XXX XXXXXXX XX
XXXXXXXX, XX
XXX XXX

He was quick to reply, but not with the news I had been hoping for.

Last I heard he only had a CA P90 and a AKS74

O really? I paid for a gun that was *IN STOCK* - remember that part of the conversation - and now it's disappeared into thin air, along with my cash? You don't say?

On the 21st, cbcsteve sent me the following PM:

- cb rail covers
- cb vert grip
- a few assorted suits, 36-38 short, $150-400 value apiece
- a lot of silk ties
- a bunch of Cb pouches... I need to take pics

The PS3 option has me interested. I need a Blu Ray player.

1. CYMA AKS74 - Full metal and Folding stock
These are the newer line of CYMA weapons which have better internals and working parts than the older ones

2. PS3 - Basic 80GB model that came with motorstorm

I decide to go with the CYMA AKS74. At least I can sell that, with the idea to post it on ASC, recoup most of my cash, and get the Galil I really wanted.

Sounds like a plan my friend!

On behalf of Nathan I am sorry it has taken so long and Nathan said it himself he is also sorry too and will probably be throwing in something extra with your AK pacakge

Thanks for the cooperation

Now I will be sending him your mailing address

and then......(wait for it).......

nothing.

I wait another month, and on July 17th, I contact cbcsteve again:

Have you talked to Nathan lately? It's going on a month now and I still haven't recieved this gun, either....

Originally Posted by cbcsteve

I'll msg him again

....so I wait.....again....and a few more weeks pass by.....until August 5th, when I message cbcsteve again:

Sucks that he has no money due to his previous landlord debacle where his roomates left him

Anyway I did offer to pay for his shipping but he did not want

So it may be awhile or never, at this point I know he WILL send them but I don't know WHEN unfortunately I have lost some faith but hopefully my weekly reminders will help him remember. He has them all packaged up as he says

And so I wait some more....another few weeks pass...i contact cbcsteve again on August 17th.

Other than that I have no clue whats going on anymore

Message me your Cell and name and the thing you were suppose to receive and I'll msg it to him
hopefully he can text you or call you about it

I had originally ordered a CYMA Galil from him, paid in full with shipping.

When he didn't come up with that, he offered a PS3 or a CYMA AKS74

I chose the AKS74...like...going on 2 months ago....

And so, this is where we stand. I've been waiting 22 weeks (5 months) for an item I paid in full for, which I was told was IN STOCK. Since then, the item has gone missing, and I've been offer other items in compensation - which, out of compassion and understanding of Bob's situation, I have accepted rather than being a dick. In the end, my attempt to let Bob out of the situation has been met with nothing.

So, I wait.

I think I've been exceptionally patient and understanding about his situation. Even my patience wears out. 14 days from today I will file a report with recol.ca.

[cbcsteve]

As the messenger/intermediary I have funneled all the messages for Skruface and the others since I saw Nathan online on Facebook a lot and decided to help but I've helped as far as I can now its up to Nathan on his own now.

For those wondering, I do not receive anything from this, only doing this cause I saw him online on Facebook alot and thought it would be easy to send the messages to him but now matter is beyond that now. Good luck Skruface and the others in resolving this matter, if you still need me let me know although I haven't received any word from him for awhile on this matter.

[Skruface]

Well, I'm 2 days late, but it looks like I have to go this route.

Can anyone pm me with Nathan's full details - full name, address, place of work, etc. so I can start a recol.ca claim?

[Skruface]

Claim has been started. If you have sent Nathan money and have yet to receive your goods, I can include you in my claim if you wish.

You would need to PM me your full name, address, phone number, what you ordered and how much you paid.

Sorry Nathan. You had plenty of opportunity to sort this one out with me, but you've made no effort to do the right thing. Not even logging in here to try and deal with the situation since May 1st? Inexcusable.

[Skruface]

2 people added to claim. Anyone else?

[Skruface]

So far there are now 4 of us in on this claim. Anyone else?
