Hmmm, did you TRUST them? What if one of them screwed you? Why is that so different than this situation?

I agree. I recently sold some bindings on the board. The person that bought the bindings paid for them about 2-3 hours before the post office closed, and I felt bad because I couldn't get them out before the weekend.

Good call.

It's weak he hasn't contacted you with an explanation for the late payment, but maybe he's got a good reason (run over by a dumptruck, etc.)

Better to give a fellow mag the benefit of the doubt, for a while longer, anyways...

THEN IT"S ON!!:FIREdevil :FIREdevil

Yes, it is about the principle. This is some fucked up shit, and maggots will not stand for this! This guy is fucked if he is trying to screw you over. Out this guy now!

You are doing a disservice to all maggots if you don't out him now.

There is no reason he shouldn't be responding to his PMs when he knows he owes you money, unless he is in a hospital bed somewhere.

I've heard things work well if you can get a direct line - but a bunch of the people that told me that can't tell mozart from a dial tone.

sorry, spent it on Cardinal Law's legal fees.

keep in mind that, despite the large number of posts, this thread has all gone down within 6 hours.

and it's possible that he was away from the board. it is backpacking season after all. or something like that.

then again, if you just release his name, big deal. yeah, he screwed up. it's not like it warranties the death penalty or anything. If it was me and I was late on paying I'd just apologize, send the money, maybe include a little beer for late payment, and not worry about being "outed." plus if he has friends on the board and you release his name it's usually them who will fill you in--"he's in the hospital/nepal for two weeks/he's being a cunt and I will personally smack him"--that kind of thing.

We are talking about a maggot here, he is probably passed out on a Mexican beach with twelve empty bottles of tequila around him. Some day he will sober up. find the check in the enveloped, stamped ready to go, but sitting on his table, when that "OH FUCK" moment hits him, and he realizes he screwed up.

God is a Maggot passed out on a Mexican beach? Crap! If I'd known that, I'd have gone to church years ago.

You know his name and know his address. Get his phone number and call him up, Keep calling until you get an answer.

Sorry, I was in Southern California on a fire and haven't been on the computer. I just got back in town and re united with the real world. Check your PM's, if the check isn't there I'll mail you a new one or paypal you or whatever you want. Sorry for any mixups.

Proof, once again, that maggots are good, trustworthy people. VC even outed himself for no reason :nonono2:

Special thanks goes out to Powderface for his non-confrontational attitude, confidence in his fellow maggots' moral caliber and generally insightful remarks.

I just saw the post and was trying to straigtened it out ASAP. After reading some of the posts I was worried a lynch mob was going to show up. Hopefully faith is restored in trusting maggots.

Glad it worked out. I was going to suggest the 'ol wait 'till he's passed out and have someone stick their dick in his mouth and take a picture trick. :biggrin:

This place is like a sitcom. I get to watch the hijinks and wild momentum swings, and then 25 minutes later we get a happy ending.

Well, a happy ending without the sticky stomach.

Yay! Sorry about the whole suggesting to plaster your info thing... in my defense, even the most advanced crypto schemes don't really work without trust :)

EDIT: spelling

Im not saying for Vano not to do it, but first give it a week and then slowly start giving out the info, but Vano dont come along in a week and just splatter his personal info everywhere cause thats an asshole thing to do and even though I know everyone here is cool there just might be some nut who thinks this dude tried to screw you over and might take action on him to get "revenge" or whatever.

I just want eveyone to know that Im not the "be afraid of everyone you dont know/dont trust anyone" type of person. In fact Im totally opposite, but I just recently after doing a good deed for someone got fucked by that same someone who happened to be a stranger and Im still kinda pissed about it.

So to conclude, Vano, if the check doesnt show in a week and you have no response from him start by giving out his username here, then the city and state and then if more detail is required give more info. Just dont splatter his info out without warning cause Im sure you wouldnt want it if someone was gonna do it to you. After all, for all we know, he might have a serious family/personal problem thats keeping him away from responding.

I'd be with El Duderino if Vano was still trying to decide what to do.
