I'ma get medieval on your ass!
Thats cos you were using one of those useless keyless chucks. If you want a reliable drill, use a keyed chuck. And mains power. I'm still using a 30yr old Skil and the damned thing won't die. In the meantime various cordless things have come and gone.Originally Posted by Quasievil
To be fair, got a cheapie drill and angle grinder (mains) from Supercheap and they won't die either.

sounds to me like, seeing as it went to court, there should be a public record of all the facts for you to read for yourself if you care enough to do the digging . . .

Not at all.
He did return the negative feedback but all of it was deleted. Tardme said and did nothing about it.. Maybe because he admitted (in the community forum) that he sent a different product to that which I won. I dunno. Maybe Tardme were scared of what I might be capable of doing if they got on the wrong side of me. My Tardme profile gives people specific and fair warning not to fuck with me or I will make their lives a misery. (it's the type of guy I am).
I have over 400 trades only 3 negative feedbacks and they are all from sellers (none from buyers) If you investigate peoples feedback and have a proper read of the comments from both parties you will see that the underlying constant when sellers give negative feedback, is that they were nearly always first given negative feedback by the buyer. They are whiney little fucks who have no reason to give negative feedback other than because the buyer told the truth about them. Exactly what happened to me in all three cases.
Accordingly I ignore seller feedback when looking at other peoples feedback.
Never be scared to stand up for yourself or to do what is fair by your standards.... chances are the other party hasn't got any..

Absolutely dead right there.

Just checked this auction since it finished. Since he didn't answer any of the questions you can now see all 13 unanswered questions. I see they are all pretty blunt, no wonder he didn't reply so they were not made public.

Well? Did you knuckle him or whatt???

Since no settlement was reached i feel its appropriate to restore my post
So this is where I wrote at the time but removed in the cause of world peace
But clearly hostilities were still open even after the court case
And was further discussed here until it was posted to PD by a supporting moderator
That must be a real pisser ay. Innocently buying something from a so called honest vendor and it not turning up or finding it doesn’t work. That really sucks.
Hypothetically, It could be worse though. Imagine the following scenario for instance:
What if the item wasn't $31 and was say...er...$1895.00 and when it turned up after 9 weeks (and not 3 or 4 as promised) it was poorly designed , manufactured , not to specification and is basically fucking useless.
Imagine then, that when you raise the problem, the vendor gives you a line of bullshit about solutions and denies all responsibility for any of the problems with the product and blames you for the specification. You send the product back for checking but he still denies responsibility and basically covers up and lies about the cause. He has your $1895 and you, as a paid up customer, can go and get fucked. He only offers a replacement which you have to pay for. That would be worrying... and rather unfair don’t you think ?.
Being desperate to salvage something from the total loss situation you face without taking legal action, imagine you eventually agree to pay a further $800 to get a replacement product that actually does what was promised in the first place on condition the vendor delivers when he says he will (4-6 weeks) so you could use it when you want it. Maybe you can get a few bucks back by selling the first item. So, knowing you’re being screwed, you suck it up and pay up and wait.....
When 6 weeks pass you ask what’s happening and get told "It will arrive when it arrives and we will do no more for you" .... so you wait some more and then some more and then some more.
At 10 weeks you get pissed off being screwed by him and give him 2 weeks notice of cancellation if he doesn't deliver. Nothing happens. At 12 weeks you cancel the order and get your money back from Visa and take the bastard to court to recover the cost of the first product which is about as much use as a chocolate teapot or to get a product which will actually do what was promised.
In the meantime the vendor himself writes defamatory remarks about you on a well known internet forum whilst daily portraying himself as a whiter-than-white honest purveyor of fine wares to all enthusiasts. Slagging off competitors and promoting his own products at every turn. It seems whilst you’re a prospective customer, you’re a mate, a bro, a dude and a fellow enthusiast. Once you become one of his legion of dis-satisfied, pissed off customers you are a nothing but an irritation to be abused publicly and dealt with by contempt. His high pretence to customer service only goes as far as the cash hitting his bank account. After that, his interest in you extends only as far as future sales, not in fixing his fuck ups.
Meanwhile, he quietly convinces his bank to give him back the $800 and attends the court hearing and says nothing about it. The court rightly orders him to swap the poorly designed and manufactured product he supplied in the first place for something less defective free of charge. So there is some justice then…..
But he knows he still has the $800. He just has to stay quiet about it. Just imagine the smug feeling he has. Probably the same sort of achievement a pick pocket feels when lifting your wallet from your pocket.
A few weeks after the swap takes place, your own bank comes back and asks you for the $800 which has been debited from them by his bank... and when you take that matter up with the vendor himself, guess what ? He denies all knowledge of it. So, you will probably have to drag his ass back in to court again to enforce the order you got and prove the truth….. again. That is what it takes it seems.
So, you might advise anyone thinking of buying from a trader like him to go to a local, reputable shop with decent customer service and buy a product made by an actual reputable brand. A product which has a meaningful guarantee, is available immediately, is value for money, has no design or manufacture faults, and can be used straight away. In other words, everything which buying a product from a poxy online trader is not. That is something which you might deeply regret you should have and could have done in the first place.
You might avoid any dealings with such a vendor in future and surely it is fair to warn fellow enthusiasts about him and the way he operates as you might with any dodgy brand. ….. hypothetically of course.
Kharma... great concept, but not enough of it about.

Hehehehehe I loved the gay anime theme to that thread. All KB threads should be like that. Especially the ones relating to waving, whiskey, religion and politics.
