George Simmons Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hey Bear - If it makes you feel any better Robin really screwed himself on something I bought from him, so maybe that helps balance things out.A couple weeks ago I bought a bunch of strobes from Robin. They all arrived with the proper wiring and every one of them works as advertised. (Of course I plugged them all in - if you think I'm going to take a Floridian's word for something...) But that's not the problem. The problem is the damn fool undercharged me for the shipping! Undercharged, despite what his advertisement led me to believe.And to make matters worse, he's chosen not to contact me and demand the difference! Can you believe that???? I've had those strobes for over a week now and he's yet to demand I settle up with him. I've bought a lot of stuff from people in my life and can't think of a single other time that I've ever been treated this way. I wouldn't blame him if he never sold me another thing!

jstorms Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 ditto, I tried to get in on those strobes as well. Getting a deal on the shipping is just rubbing my nose in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wbottomley Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I read the other thread before it was closed and moved into the darkness of most of the members.Robin, you are the most trustworthy person any person can know. Whatever you send, I'm happy with. If that person didn't like the controllers, sell the damn things and buy new ones. And... a little secret, they're rated for 15 amps with a max capacity of 20 amps too.As my saying goes... you can teach ignorant people but not the stupid. I know where that person goes.As far as the controllers go, I can't wait to get my hands on them. That was one heck of a deal you were offering.If I need to open all cannons, I can without any problem. Plus, several others will back me 100%.EDIT: add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say that most of the 16d controllers that i have seen advertised for sale as 20 amp controllers have never had factory cords attached to them. most people I know, now how to recognize that that is the max capacity of the board not the cords!

George Simmons Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hey - glad to see the thread is back from its time-out. I've heard of people getting put in time out on another forum (which this one seems to be getting more and more alike every day - too bad) but I've never heard of a THREAD being put in time-out before. I don't know whether to be annoyed or flattered, but I think that maybe someone is getting too big for their Admin britches around here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the three+ years I've been hanging around here I've learned a few things about Robin. Yes, it's true that underneath that gruff exterior is an equally gruff INTERIOR, but his word and his credibility, in my mind anyway, is unquestionable.
