Well, I hate to post this but I feel that the members of this forum are entitled to know that certain individuals are not necessarily to be trusted when it comes to sales transactions.
A few month ago I responded to an ad selling an almost new DUI 400g undergarment. After numerous posts and pm's without response, the seller repeated his post. A moderator pointed this out and finally communication is established, numbers exchanged and all seems well.
The only odd part of the transaction was that the seller did not have a PayPay account and really preferred a money order. It really does not take a lot to open such an account these days...
Well, I agreed and the deal was consumated. I received the undergarment in the condition and shape it was advertised. During a phone conversation the seller stated that he had the same undergarment in the 200g version but it was not for sale yet. I indicated interest and told the seller to give me ca call if and when he was ready to sell it.
A couple of weeks later the phone rang and the seller informed me that he was willing to part from the undergarment as well. Again, I got a money order and sent it off.
Well, here is were it gets funny. The undergarment I received was an ancient (not black and blue) DUI 200g in Custom XL instead of L like the first one. It looked (and smelled) more like a dog blanket (the dog most likely was an avid smoker as well) and had a hole in the front. Needless to say, I contacted the seller and told him that this was not the deal we had. Unfortunately, I never heard from Richard Hicks (screen name RH), the seller, again. I pm'ed, emailed and called. No response. I decided to return the undergarment with a letter requesting my money back and sent it off to Central Florida - its original home. The delivery confirmation assured me it got there. Still no response to this day. Obviously, Richard Hicks thought it was OK to keep the $150 and blow me off. So, if you consider dealing with the guy, think again!
I hope that this post does not violate Rule #6 as I tried to remain as polite as possible considering that Richard Hicks just stole $150 from me.
