Evan, I paid for that Simplicity vac over a week ago. When am I going to see some tracking information that tells me you shipped it?

I knew

this was going to happen to someone else. He is a cheater and a liar. It's not the first time he's scammed someone.

 

[DesertTortoise]

So now we go to the PayPal dispute resolution center and file a dispute (done) and if I don't hear anything call my credit card company and have them stop payment. Not so hard.

I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt but if he has bamboozled others before me then you follow the steps and recover your money.

 

[marks_here]

Go get 'em DT...drop da bomb!!!

 

[suckolux]

sorry to hear that happened, glad you have some recourse

You've been Ripple-Smackled! 

 


Give me the 'GO' and I'll have the K.B.I special-unit squad patrol the area. he can't run when those Rose-wood Brown squad-cars are on his trail!

What kind of simplicity vac did you buy? I might have some stuff laying around. I know I've got a few symmetrys, synchronys and a synergy or two.. I've got a few 6 and 7 series too, and can get parts for them.

Total Flake!

For Christmas last year, my fiance bought an all original Kirby D50 and several parts for my D80 for me from Evan well in advance before Christmas. It did not arrive in until January 16th!! My hubby was not happy and nearly asked for reimbursment before it arrived. I no longer want to have contact with him after reading this feed and seeing his true colors. I sent him several pieces and a couple of them rare such as a Heritage shake out bag and a Heritage II shake out bag. He promised to send me multiple machines and parts in February and I have yet to receive them and now I never will. He has become a total flake and I am very disappointed in him. I really wish him the best and I hope that he learns to treat people better (especially his friends) if he wants to be successful in the future. God speed Evan. Oh wait! I forgot you don't beleive in God. Sorry! Good luck and goodbye.

You guys understand he is 15, right? Unless I'm not seeing the right profile...

 

[marks_here]

Call the law on him..that's all & be done with him.

Evan...

This "Kirbykid" is what gives the younger memebers a bad reputation. Not all younger members are like this. I hope everything is resolved for DesertTortoise and Adambomb. Kirbykid's membership should be revoked and nobody (hopefully) ever do business with him again. Just my little rant, can't stand liars and fakes.

Hi Desert, I'm very sorry to hear this. I just suspended Kirbykid from being able to post anymore and I'm deleting his thread in the Super Market Forum until he resolves this.

If there is no resolution then that will be the last post he makes here.

 

[DesertTortoise]

Thanks for the kind words and testimonials everyone. I thought from the number of vacs, talk of rebuilding and selling them and how they were presented in some cases Kirbykid had a vacuum shop or something. Silly me.

I sent an e-mail giving him until 3.00 pn PST to contact me with a tracking number of I simply call VISA and have them cancel the transaction. I don't need the vacuum that badly.

 

[DesertTortoise]

Jkbff, it was an S24 canister with the hose and powered brush. He was asking $100 which made me think it might be an, um, interesting restoration challenge (aka beat to crap), but at least parts availability wasn't a problem like it is with much older vacs. Even correct color body parts are readily available. Sure wish that was so with even some of the newer Kenmores I refurbish. Can't even get hoses for some of those!

I just wanted to see the insides of a Riccar/Simplicity canister, take one apart, feel the material in my hands, feel how things screw, snap or otherwise fasten together, see who made the motor and other components to satisfy myself that they are or are not worth the high price of admission. There will be others in good time.

You know something?

I waited, and waited, and waited for this to finally happen! He is a snake, and everyone finally knows that. I have had my share of battles with Mr. Baier, and every time, he would argue and argue with me until he was sure that what he said was perfectly justified, and I was just an ignorant collector who didn't take care of his vacuums. BS. He said on more than one occasion that he had no respect for anyone who did not have a high-paying job, and would not treat me respectfully until I was making $1000 a month, or something ridiculously stupid like that. He is a self-righteous little brat, and he will never learn.

 

[jaker15]

And, just so you're all aware,

I hope none of you ever have the great fortune of running into him in person, especially not for a good long while, as he is currently suffering from *shudders* Scabies. Yup, he has dozens of little mites living under his skin, and it's a highly contagious disease. Yuck.

I've got a riccar 1500 machine around here that I've traded in that is in decent shape. I'd let it go with a power head and 3 extra bags for 150 but you'd have to pay shipping.

Before they discontinued that model we sold that new for 699, rebuild for 399-499, but I've pulled them off the shelf because I don't sell rebuilt vacuums anymore.

Let me know if you want it. My email should be in my profile and could probably have it ship tomorrow morning.
