I hate to post this here, but he won't answer calls, return my calls, or answer PMs or emails.

I purchased my SR axle from him and still haven't received my air pump that I paid for a few months back. I won't air any laundry, but I ask that if anyone has any regular contact with him, please let him know I need to get that air pump to replace the one that I was given by another member of this board. It has been a couple of weeks since I was supposed to "have it by the end of the week."

I'll apologize ahead of time if there is a serious situation precluding the sending of the part, but I need to know what is happening. Mods, I'm sorry if this is inappropriate and will delete if you feel its necessary.

Jon, per the user list he last posted on 12/02/09, so looks like he's still around.

Margie, I saw the same thing. The last communication I have from him is a PM dated 12/1/09, so that could very well be the last time he logged on. I'm not sure what the deal is, and I don't want to make a problem for anyone. I just need to close out this deal.

Thanks, and I'm replying to your PM.

I appreciate the couple of PMs I've received about contact info for VR4. The info I received was the same that I have been trying to cantact him at, but it is appreciated nonetheless. I don't know what to do or say about this now. If anyone knows him off the board, please let him know about this thread. I will be glad to delete my posts and ask the mods to kill this once the parts are received.

Thank you.

Wow, I hope he's OK.

Unless he ripped off Jon. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'd do some research off the contact info, like reverse phone # search, reverse addy search, and then send a certified letter. Might be worth paying somebody local to do a house call...

Good idea on the certified letter. I just got his address from another member. I'll try that. Thanks.

I really DO hope he's ok, but so far, this isn't the first time that communication has been broken. I just want my air pump...nothing more, nothing less.

I bought a fuel pump from him last year. There was a bit of a delay in shipping the part, but he came through. He's a nice guy and I'd be really surprised if he is ripping Jon off over a locker pump.

He seems like a good guy on the forum.

I think powerram50 has wheeled with him before so he might be your local yocal to make a house call.

Hey Jon, I have an extra pump on the shelf. If the one you have on loan is "urgently" needed by its owner, you are welcome to it for as long as it take, or until I find a locker axle without pump for my SWB, whichever comes first.

Thanks, Bill. I'll definitely let you know if I end up needing it. There's GOT to be one out there somewhere that I can buy, though.

Well if VR4 is reading this, he ain't off the hook if you've paid him. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

Can't someone tell if he is reading this?

They can only tell if he logs in to the system. Since you can read posts without logging in you really can't know for sure. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

you can only anon browse tech, you have to be a member to be on the OT sections.

Hope this gets resolved. I also have a spair pump, don't need it. Drop me a pm.

sewerrat, I'm sending you a PM.

I can't keep waiting on this guy. I want to try that locker out before I sell the rig. Maybe that's what I need to convince me to keep it... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Jon, I'm an old skip tracer (courtesy of a misspent youth in the banking business) and I'd be happy to take the contact info you have and see what I can come up with. You can file a magistrate's court suit by mail, I think. Don't let this go...

DON'T DO IT!!!!

Or you'll never sell that thing.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well, I have to thank sewerrat for his generosity as I received an air pump from him today. I also appreciate everyone else who chimed in and offered help.

VR4, this issue is not dead, though. It's not cool to leave people hanging when they've paid you for something. It's also not cool to ignore voice messages and emails. I hope you come around and post up. I'd like a refund for the air pump that I paid you for and did not receive, please. I'm a pretty understanding person but don't like being taken advantage of...

Larry, hopefully I can get this pump installed and list a working locker on the for sale ad. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Maybe sell it to VR4? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Glad you got a new compressor. Pretty crappy what VR4 is trying to pull.

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Death, jail, hospital or military service are the excuses he better come up with. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

It is so lame that some people do crap like this. We all have so much camaraderie around here it's like a family member got ripped off. I'm pissed too.


Good luck Jon, sorry some guys are just plain losers.

Moved off OT; VR4 will be going on the seller red letter list.
