WARNING: some not nice people on this forum
      #1856180 - 12/05/2008 20:33

about a month ago we put some items up for sale on this forum. we were lucky to sell quite a lot of stuff and we say thanks to those who we posted stuff to and in return they transfered money to our bank account.
what a shame then, that one person failed to pay. He does not respond to pm's and we are now short over 30 quid including over 8 pounds postage.

i'd like to name and shame the individual so that no one else is taken in by him, after all he's had over a month to pay, i think that is a fair time.

what do you all think?

thanks

respect to Roger, but the Moderator has no powers to do anything in this matter.

I think you should let your conscience guide you...... let this thread prick their conscience a bit, and if that fails

Name and Shame

for 30 quid? Thats potty.

Dont be put off, I have bought and sold lots os stuff here with no problems at all.

I dont think its potty to name and shame as he may have done it 20 times we dont know about.

I think if it were me I would send him a polite reminder by post then if no response after a week or so name and shame.

I have been lucky and only dealt with decent people on here.

I think he meant that not paying for something £30 was potty, and that he shoud be named and shamed

Nil point to Graham, lucky B175Chris is on the ball.

Or that I didnt make myself clear.

Not paying 30 quid to have your rep smeared all over the boating world just aint worth it.

I do hope its someone I dont like

Yes but just to be sure he is not laying in a hospital bed somewhere or has a terminal computer failure I would do the usual 14 days notice to pay sent by recorded post
