Re: Custom 10/22 "mini A5" stock, pics
GUYS
1. captain kirk is not a gunsmith or has a shop open as far as i know, nor is a regular vendor for The Hide. from what i gather, he was doing this in his spare time. his last post was on 02/07/2012 and looking at the user list, he was last online on 02/08/2012. there was also talk of some financial problems and an illness mentioned, maybe the freakin guy is dead or something, or has a life other than surfing forums all day.
yeah sure if he took money from someone for work done, i'd stay in contact if i were him, so i do understand where you guys are coming from. if he got in over his head on making them, yeah HE SHOULD DO THE HONORABLE THING, AMIT IT, SEND YOUR $ BACK - don't blame The Hide.
he has this in his posts: "Roberts Tactical Precision
rtacprecision.com (coming soon)" going there shows that the website didn't come, or he didn't pay the bill for godaddy.
he's been around the forum since 2005, and has 4763 posts. chances are if he's a dick it would be known by now - stop blaming The Hide, maybe captian kirk got hit by a bus or something. (no "got beamed up" jokes)
2. As always "caveat emptor", especially if he's not a paying vendor. after all this is the internet, WTF send a complete stranger without an established shop $330.00? - don't blame The Hide
as per the forum for sale rules:
Sniper's Hide does not moderate this forum. Any disputes or fraudulent transactions may result in one or both members being removed.
Guidelines for the For Sale Forum
A. All sales and purchases are at the risks of the individuals involved. Please be certain that you make safe and intelligent secure payment arrangements. The Sniper's Hide FORUM is not responsible/liable for any sales that go uncompensated. We are also not responsible/liable for any item advertised for sale in this area, and the integrity of that product's representation.
B. Any member selling/trading any item(s) on this board that accepts monies from another member without sending out the items purchased will have their membership removed from the forum immediately.
3. for those knocking The Hide and the Aminsistration / moderators, etc, DID ANYONE ACTUALLY PM THE ADMIN? if not then don't knock The Hide.
4. the for sale thread just may have been so old that it was purged...it happens without updating it after a while.
5. from his profile his email is
[email protected]. that, plus the "Roberts Tactical Precision" tells me his name is Kirk Roberts, someone look up the number for a Kirk Roberts or maybe even a Hollie / Holly Roberts in Everett Washington, check the obituaries too. call the local Everett law up if you have to if you all are so passionate about being possibly defrauded and see what can be done about your $330.00. those that sent the stock should have an address, hopefully it's not a PO box.
6. maybe he's banned? - stop blaming The Hide, the admin may not have a clue this is going on over hear - angain, did anyone contact the moderators or the other admin?
7. i do not know captain kirk, i don't work for The Hide, nor am i any part of the Admin or Moderator - however stop squawking in this thread and take action - this is still the internet, there's a darn good chance all the facts are not known...maybe you guys got ripped off, maybe not.
The Hide isn't responsible for refunding your money or chasing people down that do bad business or is negligent in contacting you with a status. it's a forum, not a department store or the better business bureau.
someone grow a set and PM one of the Admin / moderators at the bottom of the forum, or even Lowlight himself. perhaps more intel can be gathered - if there's no response THEN you have a reason to blame The Hide.
<span style="color: #FF0000">***DON'T BLAME THE HIDE*** the facts, as far as reasonably be can be gathered from just this thread alone, are not fully known </span>....until then, knocking The Hide is unjustified.
