Here is an example of one of the pm trails I had with him regarding a purchase for a dvd player with sdi mod. Trust me, there are many more. During the time of the excuses, he said: He had family medical issues; He gave me tracking numbers for stuff that was to be delivered to States not where I live; During the "excuse" period, he was getting his own title on this forum. Some excuses. Twisted Evil

But, like William, I am lucky in that I got the money back from paypal. Thumbs Up

Re: My credit card charge is due

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don thanks for contacing me asking for your refund today, you filed a paypal claim which causes me all sorts of issues

do you realize by you doing that you are putting a fraud claim against me, you probably don't

PLEASE and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, NEVER contact me again for anything, if I am selling SDI DVD players for 1$ forget it, NEVER again do I wish to speak with you

you cut people BIG breaks and what do you get back? a complete paranoid psycho

Thanks

Either send the products as described in your forum post dated: 03-21-07, 07:26 PM today, and send me the FedEx tracking number that will show the item has been picked up by FedEx today, or refund the $xx.00 by April 21, 2007.

Again, if you would like to speak with me, call me at: Work - xxxxxxxxxxxx, or Home - xxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks,
Don Wallace

thanks Don

if you want the player let me know, there won't be a better deal than what you were offered Don, otherwise I will send a refund probably around sat or sun

thanks a bunch

Once again, if you would like to call to discuss I can be reached at xxxxxxxx after 6:00 pm ET.

Thanks,

Put it this way. He emailed me some pictures of his 'balanced power' box. The guy can drill a cabinet, the finish looked good from the outside. I could even say the internal wiring was semi OK, from what I saw. Problem is, you don't GLUE 110 volt parts into place, I don't care what strength the epoxy is rated at. Danger danger!

I've always had an issue with people that take money up front for product that they don't have yet. I know back in my sound days, we'd secure a deposit to make sure a customer was legit and serious about dealing with us, and that was fine. But to take 100% money up front for vaporware, hardware or software isn't cool, especially when posts start up with 'where is my product?', months after the money has been paid.

Bad business in my eyes, never mind the lies he spins as to where a product is.

I think Gary truly has good intensions…He just has no technical ability and it gets him in trouble because he over committees to what he can do.

He probably doesn’t take on a job with the intention to screw someone over….It just happens when he promises more than his ability.

Mike,
I am sure his committees do get him in trouble. Smile

I don't disagree with what you are saying, but I can't program like you. Wouldn't it be a little disingenious to go around selling my programming services like I could? On the surface, I would say that most should get screwed for not doing their homework on Gary. The problem with that is Alan closes down the negative feedback threads. It must be nice to never have to worry about being outed.

Now, personally I really hope Gary achieves what he wants in life which is to be a LEO. More power to him. As far as A/V, I think he oversells his knowledge.

Don,
I guess I was lucky, because I got my boards (parts) back pretty quickly. Of course, I had his money that he wanted refunded.

Curt,
I seem to remember the pics. I kind of fell out of that thread, as Gary seemed to be chum in a pool of sharks. Smile

So, does he take the money up front and then buy the parts/players?

What was this "Balanced Power" box supposed to do? Looks like maybe just an isolation transformer.

Gary was over his head, and then he deluded himself into thinking he was being attacked.... kinda like a certain woman in Alaska....

forget that.

I'm glad Gary is gone. I think that he and the "A" site deserve each other.

This coming from a person with a Lindsay Lohan avatar? Hahahahahaha!

I take back my comments about his wiring, that's a mess too.

I'm completely in the dark about the woman in Alaska though, what did I miss?
