I think all transactions have a blanket coverage. I think the verified member part happens just increases the coverage.Quote:

I thought I was going to get screwed but was patient when I won an REI gift certificate on Ebay and used Paypal. I think it was like $300 and I won it for $150 or something like that. My recollection is that Paypal won't do anything if you don't file a complaint within a month (or some time frame like that) of the payment. Paypal just told me they couldn't do anything even though I contacted them just a day or so after the deadline. Fortunately the guy ended up sending me my money back and said that the certificate was lost.Quote:

Nick>Jesus: that black flag lyric you have as a line by your avatar is one from one of my favorites by them. My favorite line "My girlfriend asked me which one I like better. SIX PACK. I hope the answer won't upset her.....
its great song, that whole album is greatQuote:

Pretty easy to use the search function to find a thread where GBB bought some skis from someone who's last activity was 9/20.
Just sayin...
Dude got a knock on his door today. There was nobody there, and no car in the driveway. There are definitely skiers living there.
Anyway, I drive by the guys house several times daily, I'll knock on the door when I see a car there. Hopefully this is just a mix-up. However....
If the guy is dodging you, I'm sure he'll see this, but guess what dude, you're fucked. Make things right or you'll end up worse than you could imagine. Search defjef......... :FIREdevil
^^^^^don't fuck with maggots :eek:
Blurred- not sure where he lives but I live in W. Vail and will be happy to swing by with you or on my own anytime if it will help. Shoot a PM and let me know if I can help.
Come on fella......do the right thing.
Sounds expensive. Check for bikes.Quote:

Blurred, Rippinsick and others I hope to at least meet you guys this winter, if not make some turns.
Thanks again guys.
Stopped by around 4:30, same as Blurred, Nada. Crazy to think that the guy is less than a mile from my place. Anyway, I will continue to drop his name with all the local folks that I know and see what I can find out. Like Blurred I will continue to drive by until I see a car in the driveway.
ON another note GO Rocks!
For once I agree wholeheartedly with cj.Quote:

As for givebackbloom, I hope you get some justice, but you should out the fucker. True, the guy might not be a straight up thief, but at the very best hes inconsiderate and ridiculously lazy. Thats something people deserve to know about someone selling gear on here, especially since people could figure it out on thier own, its not keeping anything secret, just causing a pain in the ass for people.
Anyways, I hope you get your skis.
My wife & I have been running a few side businesses for nearly 12 years and run all of most of our higher dollar transactions through paypal and I have only had 2 deals that went bad (knock on wood). Both were verified & seemed like good buyers. I did recover my full investment in both from paypal (& keep knocking on wood!). Certainly it’s not expected that Paypal can protect you 100% of the time (although I know a few people who have a perfect record) but their system seems to work just fine for us. My only real nit-pick (be it a small one) is their fees at times can be a bit steep - but that's what keeps them alive. Paypal in all works OK but again it's not perfect. As for TGR Forums Gear Swap, I think it’s amazing how high the percentage of good deals are and great the “honor” system works here. Most likely higher than paypal. There are a lot of damn cool people here who really try hard to keep it that way.Quote:

Again, someone sent me a $260 beacon and I'm glad it showed up (not dissing him) but what if someone swiped it, what then?
So has this thing been resolved yet?! I keep waiting for it to either esclate when Blurred ends up on this d-bag's door step, or slappy all of the sudden sending the gear and saying..."Oops!, sorry, I forgot!"
Although its cool that mags are trying to resolve this I really hate seeing thread like this. People fucking suck sometimes. Being that this guy hasn't been in any sort of contact with GiveBackBloom or even logged in since the check was cashed I have to believe that he's a total fuckwad and deserves to have his skis confiscated and a broken marker shoved directly up is arse!
WTF?!?! My popcorn is getting cold. Damn you 3names you fkn cried wolf didn't you?
Had to go take an astronomy test otherwise this would have been posted sooner.
Thanks to a little research by 3names, I was able to locate the number of the shop that sick rick used to work at (Pepi Sports in Vail). The guy I talked to said that he hasn't worked there for years but he now works at Christy Sports in Vail. They are getting a phone call right now.
don't make the confrontation over the phone, find out his hours and send a posse of mags to kick some ass
if anyone wants to cruise out from boulder for a little ass kicking...
haha, but seriously, i hope you figure this shit out. i hate how some people have no sense of social responsibility.
blue balls and buttered fingers of kernel teeth picking.
I can go in tomorrow afternoon if there is a riot, I want to be part of chaos in the village.
I can be there after 4:00. Just let me know
Achilles heel = Lower back. Hope this turns out well. DB gets what he deserves and you get your skis GBB.Quote:

That's a shitty situation all around.
I'm going to be really, really dissapointed if there's no TR from this. Someone has to document, maybe even a video TR with a helmet cam.
"5 mins alone" could be on the soundtrack.
This is gonna be so sweet tommorow
My popcorn is starting to get stale and I have to sleep soon.
This post will become worthless with out a live feed..Will settle for a good video...Last thing we want is blurrey pics from a fuckin kodak throw away.

As a seller, if you send something USPS you should at least keep a receipt, or pay for delivery confirmation. If you have that, I'd say it's the buyer who is "out". But there is no rule that I am aware of, it is just one of the slight dangers of private party sales.Quote:

We'll see what happens.
Good for you. He's probably just a total idiot.
And if not, now he knows you know how to find him.
I'll bet you get the skis.
Wow, good that you actually spoke to him. It will be interesting to see what happens. Come on, RICK, dont be a DICK, ship the STICKS!
What a dipshit
