Dcroc Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 CBT16 FS thread closed due to complaints? What happened? I bought a controller from this guy, but haven't gotten it yet. Anybody know what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooo Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm sure it's been stated before, but it probably needs said again. NEVER send money via PayPal as friends/family to a new member. If the deal is just too good to resist, offer to pay the PayPal fees associated with shipping goods - that way you're protected. The people associated with this hobby are almost always very kind and honest, but you still can't ignore the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcroc Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 I wouldn't send "friends/family" under any conditions. I filed a claim, because I am now paranoid, but can't seem to find any info on what happened here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORAdmin Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 What you folks are talking about here is what the other complaints were about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcroc Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Thank you to the Admins. Other sites I belong to have a strict policy of NOT getting involved in ANY WAY with FS listings, and/or problems that arise. I understand their position, but highly respect yours. At least I got enough info from the admins to know there is a problem. I understand that you guys have SO much more to focus on, and greatly appreciate you taking the time to close the thread, and respond. Despite this bad apple, this is still one of the greatest forums I have ever belonged to, and has the best Admins. One bad apple does not change the fact that this hobby, from top to bottom, has the greatest people in it, Now.......SOMEONE GET A ROPE!!!

kingfish Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I was looking at that sale and I was leary basically because he just joined and wants to sell. for that reason I stayed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcroc Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 That is why I only bought 1. If I got the one I bought, I was gonna take the rest of the V2's. He also didn't post pics after asked. There were red flags. I still haven't gotten any details on why anyone thinks there is a problem It's only been a week since he said he was shipping mine out. Not taking chances, though. Filed a claim as soon as I saw the thread was locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcroc Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Just got a refund from PP. Shame this didn't pan out. Great price. Should have known it was too good to be true. I hope everyone gets their money back. I'm actually more upset that I still have to find 2 more controllers before October at a reasonable price.

greenie95125 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 What concerned me is what he said in his initial post about a friend telling him about this place. It's hard to believe that someone with that much LOR equipment doesn't know about this forum! That was a big red flag for me. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORAdmin Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 As you all know Light-O-Rama does not get involved with sales of equipment between users. As you also know, (or if you don't, you're about to) I don't work for LOR. The following advice does not come from Light-O-Rama, but from someone who has gathered and been forwarded a lot of information. I would highly suggest anyone who has paid this person to file a complaint with PayPal, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I was interested in his controllers, but there were too many red flags so I didn't send any money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also made sure I paid with PP Credit, which ads another level of protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
