Paging DouglasMcC... Mr. DouglasMcC.. part 2

[nash]

First - if you've called someone names in this thread you're post has been deleted.

Second - Actually he's not aware. I emailed him about this thread and he responded that he only has dial-up right now and was unable to get the thread to load - no doubt because of all the useless images and animated .gifs in it. Here's his response:

Hi. I am not sure what the thread is about. I turned my cable off 2 weeks ago (I am moving at the end of the month, and spend so much time at my girlfriend's house, it seemed like a waste of money) and the broadband went with it. She has dial-up, but the forums are a nightmare trying to navigate on dial-up. I tried to access your link this morning, but gave up after 2 minutes of waiting for the site to load. So, the only readily available internet connection is from work and they block all forums with the nanny software.

Not sure what the controversy is over. I had one seller who filed a non-receipt for an item I sold, but he received it and canceled the claim the same day. I had another person I traded with late last month for a Bib who sent me a broken Jawa bust set. I was originally going to wait to see if Gentle Giant would replace it, but I don't feel like dealing with the trouble. I am going to ship the item to him today.

Other than that, I can't imagine what problems might exist. Between moving in together and the last 9 weeks of my teaching semester here, I just don't have the time to participate like I used to. If you would like to post this as a reply, feel free. If not, I understand as well. I hope to be able to return to regular surfing and forum life after we move. Hopefully, I haven't burned any bridges there. If I sold something to someone and they still haven't gotten it, please tell them to e-mail me. I will take care of it ASAP. Thanks for the message.

So if you have an issue with him, send me a PM and I'll give you his email address.

riiiight....so ONLY AFTER Dave emails him he's going to ship the item today!? give me a break. Take care of your community Dave. Look around at how many stand up people are telling you about this guy.

In all fairness... Dave has no responsibility, the commerce section is an at your own risk situation. He is stepping in to try and mediate, which he doesn't have to do.

The ball is in Douglas' court, either he'll follow through or screw people over. I think at the very least we are aware that he is not safe to deal with.

CALLING OUT DOUGLASMCC (SCAMMER ALERT)

Yeah, he has had some problems on Rebelscum as well. I would avoid trades/sells/etc..with this member, he may come through eventually but who wants to gamble with money/items, I would just stay away from deals with this member.

Exactly. It's a gamble we all take when we deal in the commerce section. Which is why there are limitations and we only deal with those we trust. This was bound to happen eventually to me, I can't say I want him banned...

I just want the board to know what happened and him to know that I am pretty pissed off about losing a custom Captain Miller and a repainted Jack Sparrow for nothing. That was my hard work that he took without payment, and that doesn't sit well with me at all.

Of all the posts, this one pissses me off the most.

Dave always gave me crap for giving Douglas a hard time but he never let me explain. I shouldn't of stood Davey up on that dinner date so long ago. Now he just won't let me explain myself.

Thanks Marc. It just sucks, never had that happen before. I usually just trust everyone and don't give anyone any crap if they are late to ship or have problems. I try to be understanding. But what he did in this deal and it seems... in others as well... is sat back and assumed that things were done. That he played our emotional heartstrings with excuses and hoped we would just drop it. Which most of us did.

I'm just glad this thread was started and we were all able to share our stories, warn other people. It just stings to learn that you got played. And that you are not alone in that fact. It really sucks.

I was going to buy his Dragon Captain Miller figure, though I needed time to get the funds. I'm glad I didn't go through with his deal immediately.

What a friggin scam artist. Can't believe I actually considered him one of the more serious and trusting members here.

I hope you guys get your money/figures back from him, I don't like to see honest people ripped off.

It sounds more and more like it.

I'm leaving this thread open so Doug can respond - but stupid comments will not be tolerated here.

I hope he does read this thread and respond. According to the email he sent you, it sounds like he doesn't even think there's a problem when there obviously is.

How bout the STAR WARS section?

I think the strength of our commerce board is that we communicate when there is a problem. And right now there seems to be a big problem with this guy.

Do the right thing, send Josh back his figures and complete the rest of the transactions.

I didnt mean that Dave had any responsibility. I was just commenting to Dave's comment which sounded like he knew for certain that Douglas did not know what was going on here. I for one don't buy that for a second. Dial up or not, you can still view this forum decently as I have done it in the past. Even Bannister posted frequently on dial up.

In fairness, douglass never seemed the type to have the disposable income to compete with the finer things in this hobby. he was always complaining about prices, even a mere $30. Now that he has a "supposed" girlfriend, what better way to fund your hobby and still buy plastic cracker jack rings for the gf than to rip a few people off here and there.

I've sold him many things, always paid quickly, but it seems he's puling a "Parker" on some of you. Hope everybody gets what they want soon.

Close to the same excuse was used on Rebelscum, he claimed he could not log in but his account was active, sounds like an excuse for every occasion...

Okay, got ya... wasn't sure what you meant earlier. And I completely agree, if you know there are people who are concerned over deals then you need to find away to make it right.
