And just for good measure, here's the comment I left with the negative feedback.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm just going to copy and paste the post I left on
this thread. For more information, see dv8mad's expose
here.
He has yet to pay me for items that he won on the lowball sale. Considering my sale was going on simultaneous with dv8's, I didn't really get the message that anything was wrong until the sale was almost over.
I knew about the lost job situation and had heard that he sometimes takes his time paying, but figured I'd let everything take its course and see what happens.
All of that aside, he doesn't strike me so much as a scammer but as someone who gets in over their head. My understanding is that he has paid everyone eventually. Many people here, myself included, aren't in the business of extending a line of credit and expect to receive payment quickly (this is one reason why I have always insisted on payment before shipment). This is in direct conflict with how sum41rcks1 has been operating and tends to rub us the wrong way.
In any case, he did post in my thread regarding the situation:
[quote name='sum41rcks1']Don't worry, ill pay... as long as your not a jerk to me, im okay with that... (but you sound really nice!)[/QUOTE]
And here's a PM trail:
May 10:
[quote name='sum41rcks1']Hello,
My zipcode is 95070.
Is it okay if I pay within the next 3 days?
Thanks,
Sum41rcks1[/QUOTE]
May 12:
[quote name='thelonepig'] Howdy! I wanted to follow up with you on this payment. How are things coming?
[/QUOTE]
May 12:
[quote name='sum41rcks1'] Payment should be coming tomorrow afternoon...[/QUOTE]

[quote name='thelonepig']
I'd appreciate it if you could keep me updated if you are going to miss making your payment. This is the second time. Please let me know when you intend to pay for the items you won.
I hope everything is going well. If there is a difficulty that will prevent you from paying soon (i.e. sickness) just let me know.[/QUOTE]
May 16:
[quote name='sum41rcks1']I am sorry. I just have been busy and have not had the time to deposit more money into my bank account. I will try to pay early next week ( Monday-Wednesday) If that is okay with you.
Thanks for understanding.[/QUOTE]
May 16:
[quote name='thelonepig']Ah, okay. I know things come up and sometimes it's just not possible. I appreciate the notice and I'll look for the payment early next week. I'll PM you on Friday if I haven't heard from you by then.
Thanks![/QUOTE]

Later on, sum41rcks1 has Coper3000 make the following post on his behalf:
[quote name='Coper3000']Okay, he just went me another message:
Alright, and can you tell everyone in the thread, that any items I have received, I will pay for and/or will send the items for tomorrow. But those items I did not receive I will not pay for and they cannot do anything about it since I havent gotten the item anyways. ... and if I receive any more threats, I will contact the police.[/QUOTE]
And then, as promised, I sent a PM to sum41rcks1 at 7am Friday morning (MST).
Heya, as promised I'm following up on the payment. I'm disappointed that it hasn't come in yet, especially considering this is the third time that it hasn't come through. Can I still expect to receive payment or shall I relist the items you bid on?
I checked his account through the day and noted he was online several times. Having received no response, I sent him the following PM:
Alright, I've given you three chances. I know you've been online since my PM to you yesterday. I'm going to leave you negative feedback and place the items back up on my list for trade. I will be happy to reconsider the feedback if you PM me and can follow through with the transaction sometime today.
I'm sorry to see that the animosity and frustration expressed by other members of the forum is fully justified.
And here is the subsequent negative feedback.
