Deal Gone Bad
First off, it SUCKS to have to post this! I mean it. I don't like doin' this shit.... I really don't.
However, when someone does not honor a commitment after being given multiple, MULTIPLE
chances to do so.... I feel it is my obligation to make it publicly known here.
I sent a payment of $28.84 to rickthepick for a Millenco Magnum.

It's now been over a year and I have yet to receive it. Over the course of this year I contacted him
only a handful of times (6 maybe). Each time, gently & jokingly reminding him of it. The response
was always good - that he would get one out to me. And usually included the word "crickety!" LoL!
My last PM to him was roughly 2 months ago. In it I said "after a year, wouldn't you agree it's about
time we wrap this transaction up? lol" I went on to say that I'd be perfectly fine with a refund
rather than the lock if that was easier. Within a week I seen the message had been opened.....
I never heard back from him. About a month after, I typed this post up. I then left this in my
'drafts' for yet ANOTHER month... hoping I wouldn't have to post it. The time-span of over a
year though I think is more than reasonable & patient on my part. Ridiculously patient.
I'm really not sure what happened here. Rick seems to be a good fella! As I look through his past
posts, it's all good quality stuff. Even more so when I look at his feedback... all positive, and all
from solid members that I myself trust.
You never know what's goin' on in someone's life or what they might be going through. That could
be the case here. I guess what really tipped the scale for me though was getting no reply to my
final PM. It only takes a second to at least acknowledge someone. To be honest, had he contacted
me and said there's some shit goin' on financially or what not.... hell, I prolly would've just said
forget the whole thing, don't sweat it. I mean really, in the grand scheme of this little life,
wtf is 30 bucks?! I just spent more than that on cigarettes to continue killing myself. lol
