Lots of good info on the multiple scams he's pulled over the years

I can't believe I am saying this, but I think he started out with the best of intentions. Then he just got in over his head and didn't have the testicles to say it. From there it snowballed.

As for going to his house, he isn't close to anything. I sure as hell wouldn't drive all that way even if I was in the vicinity.

Guys, that's no justification for not shipping stuff. In over your head is one thing. Selling something on eBay isn't rocket science.

It's possible that he ran out of money, and is living day to day. (I don't know, I'm guessing here). People that don't have money will rob Peter to pay Paul....

Ok, I have to come in here and say this. Yes gary is an idiot. However, Italian Post is even more idiotic. I sent a set of bellows out on september 3rd. The buyer never got them after two months, I told his as well to wait. wait and wait. So in late novemebr I sent out another set to him. Figured I lost a set of bellows and some $$$. then about three weeks later I get a package, the original Bellows I sent!!! Came all the way back from Italy. In the mean time the buy got his new set in less than three weeks.

Go figure. maybe the parts will come back ? it took about 3.5 months for mine to get back to me.

Oh, I think we've all had issues with overseas shipping. I ship every week all over the globe, and at least twice a year I have to resend something, or as even within the US or Canada, a customer doesn't get the notice in their mailbox that something is at the post office, and it gets returned. Even from the US to Canada, it can take a month to get a box back.

Still, it's very simple to give a customer a tracking number to show that it's in transit.

Hey Craig is that the Hubble that Spectracal had for sale really cheap a month ago?

Sorry for the subject change.

I was thinking of buying it but bought sub's instead. Very Happy

Trust me, the guy is a sh*t-For-Brains!!! Gary!

I still have all the original PMs from AVS and from here about me attempting to purchase a SDI moded DVD player.

My only saving grace was Paypal.

And, it does not seen to be a coincidence that his last projector he was talking about was the 1209s.

Man, when is he going to learn!

Sad to see Gary still at it. I posted a warning late last year (http://www.curtpalme.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=358711#358711) when those Barco parts starting being posted that I thought it was Gary. Was nearly tempted to buy a couple of things till I figured out who it likely was.
