 Small claims would be a waste of time and more money. I think it cost somthing like 60$'s plus another 38$s to have his local sheriff's dept serve the notice. However if you did do this and he didnt show up, then you could pay a collection company a few hundred dollars and ruin his credit...on second thought. Just post his name on here, the items he got from you, so this way ppl wont do business with him again.

Small claims is a joke for small sums , it will cost more to file the claim than you will collect, if you collect.

He didn't say how much the equipment is worth so value judgements are inappropriate. Small claims fees vary by jurisdiction. It is a legal way to force payment, hopefully he had a contract on paper.

My suggestion is a means to recover funds and at the very least is a viable one (depepnding on the conditions as I mentioned in my first post) other than several other posts on this thread.

You obviosly have his address to send him the stuff.

Send him a certified letter from the US Mail that requests payment.  In this letter, tell him he has 10 days to respond with his intentions then you intend to let others know.

Otherwise, suck it up and count it as a lesson earned.

I had a similar occurence with an individual asking me to hold some merchandise as he was being deployed and his "aunt" woiuld send payment.  Well, I did, she sent a couple of emails, no payment.  Then he called me, seemed real nice, I even sent him a self stamped envelope to send the payment....

Guess what, no payment.  I still ahve the merchandise, but, I passed up on some sales to others because of this guy.  So, gues what, I was the monkey for being nice, either way, I consider it not worth worrying about, so I said nothing more.

Would you:

1. Flame him on this board and name him so that others don't get ripped.

2. Wait another three months hoping that he'll remember that he never paid for the gear and will send the check when he realizes his mistake.

3. Make a lame attempt on the board to embarass him anonymously hoping for him to correct his ways and send a check.

4. Forgetaboutit.

What would you do?


#4.  By the way, do you have anything else for sale?  :)

I bought a 256mb ram stick and a GeForce 5200 from him.  I had to upgrade the VC so I could play AH2.   I finally got the VC but never got the RAM.   I'm out $70. This all went down last summer.      

Two guys bought computers from him and one guy waited 6 months or so to get his.     I'm not gonna mention any names but he is a Bish and flys for one of those JG type squads.


You should mention names.  Prevent him from ripping off anyone else in the community.  Same for MrLars' customer.

Number one is not an option.  While it sounds like it could be a good thing, the truth is, we have way too many drama queens on this board who could not take the information as provided without making it a long drawn out flamefest.

Do not post names.

Your recomendation has been noted.

Since I have no phone number for this person, I've done the only thing available to me and sent another e-mail. If that fails and IF you are saying that I'm not allowed to reviel his name then what would you suggest I do?

I can see now why AH doesn't have a Hardware For Sale forum.
