How long do you wait before you officially call out someone

Usually by the time you make this post! Sorry man that sucks
 
Transaction started January 1st. I try to give the benefit of the doubt and try to see the good in people. Things happen, life gets in the way, but I don't really want this to reach the 6 month mark.

I was offered an amp for amp trade, his Uber for my Lil Fokker.
The amp that I shipped to him got there safely, unfortunately the amp he sent me arrived damaged.
We set up a claim and eventually fed-ex picked it up.
I asked about the fokker, and apparently he sold it off already.
We waited forever for fed-ex to get off their ass and finish the claim. (Normal for fed-ex)
Finally he told me fed-ex sends the check and it will be for $1500.
Earlier he told me that fed-ex was shipping him back the amp for no charge. I said that is weird, when I had to file a claim with them, fed-ex kept the amp. He told me that they were going to ship it back to me again and he had to intercept the package. I'm not sure if that's relevant to the story or not, I just think it's strange.

Fast forward a bit, he tells me when he gets the check. He said he will be out of town this weekend and will deposit it when he gets back.
2 weeks later he tells me that the check he received from fed-ex was for $500 and offers to re-sell me the uber that has been looked over by his tech and has been fixed.

I told him that I've since (4 months later) have gotten an axe-fx and that I need the money.
He agrees to get me squared up.

Well, now he has not logged in for 2 weeks and ignored my last message. (unread in inbox)
He has also had other transactions that have been posted on this site.
Weather they were trades or he purchased them outright, IMO is not right. If the roles were reversed, and it was the amp I sent to him that was damaged, the first thing I would have done was to give back his amp that he traded and is now my responsibility to deal with fed-ex.

So, at this point, I don't really know what to do. I want to have faith in this person but I think he handled the situation very poorly and it's ending up costing me.
 
Who cares about the FedEx check. He should give you the money from the sale of the Diezel and let him deal with FedEx. Just try to undo the deal.
 
^^Problem he has is, OP can't do much because it was a trade. All he can do is out the dude here and hope the pressure makes him do the right thing.

I'd imagine dude is trying to sell something else, because he spent the fedex check??

Inquiring minds want to know.
 
^ yeah, I get that. But I wouldn't let the guy distract by complaining about FedEx or needing time to deposit the FedEx check. That's all a distraction and BS (I mean, the whole thing is).
 
When it goes bad on your end,it's your job to step up.

I did a trade and the amp I shipped didn't work when he got it. I said right away we should trade back and I would eat the all shipping bills. He was super cool about it...probably because I jumped to solve the issue right away.

If your guy isn't jumping,call him out.
 
Problem is, if deals like this aren't called out publicly, it makes it easier for
The next guy to try the same shit with less worry. Everyone should be understanding,
Shit does happen l, but I'd say you've been pretty understanding

That was the right way to handle it. :thumbsup: good on you dude! Love seeing people step up and handle their business.

OP....The dude you traded with should've taken a page from the playbook of the Rottingcorpse. I agree....time to put the pressure of the forum in play. If it all went down the way you've laid out, you've been super patient.
 
This is just terrible.. I hope this can be resolved asap for the OP
 
I would say you've been super patient. It's time to out the sour deal.
 
Holy shit that's fucked up.

If the situation was reversed you know he would be pissed and raising hell.
 
Yeah, I would say you have been more than patient OP. Also, the other guy should have never sold the amp you traded knowing the transaction was not complete yet. That in itself is fishy sounding IMO.
