i didnt want it to have to have to come to this, because I beleive in giving people 2nd chances and seriously its just a big hassle, but this is real low. Due to Mr. Kennedy's poor part on being a seller this is the only last thing i can do, besides listing him as a bad seller, and black listing and contacting paypal. This is all because of the fact that i sent him 130$ for his pair of 04/05 4frnt msps just over 2 months ago on feb.11, 2008. NS being a ski community where most users are decent respectable people/skiers I assumed i could trust another person with my money to send me what i paid for. But i guess not. I've seen people post in other threads saying how simple it is to go to the PO and send your item out, no matter how busy you are. Once you have received payment you are obligated to get that product the buyer has paid for to him ASAP. Not only did it partially ruin my spring skiing in not having a pair of sticks to use, but now I am out of 130$ as well.
So let me break down the hard facts for you how it went down.
Feb 11, 2008 - I purchased his skis.
Feb 17, 2008 - I request for a refund due to finding a better deal. I still hadn't received the skis at this point. So for you people wondering THEY WHERE STILL AT HIS HOUSE.
feb 17 - feb 27 - After 20 pms didnt get through i realize he has blocked me. I email him and he responds on the 27th assuring me he will have paid me back my money in no less than a week......doesnt happen
March 3 - guess what?!?!?! he cant come up with the money. guess he spent it all. So we go back to square one. selling the skis again.
March 11 - I realize these skis arent going to sell and im not going to get my money back. So i just tell him to send me the skis. He once again promises to have them out that friday. march 11 being a tuesday.
March 26th - OOOOOOO who can guess what happens next... you guessed it.... no skis at my house or have heard from him for 2 weeks. HERES AN EXACT QUOTE OF AN EMAIL HE SENT ME on that day with his excuse. which doesnt add up at all if you think about it. having unmounted not being used skis sitting in his car?? common...and while he doesnt check his email he goes on NS.. seeing that he had logged in
"hey man I'm really sorry I haven't checked my e-mail (I'll spare you most of story and the excuses) The one excuse I do need to tell you about is that my car got impounded with the skis in it and I couldn't get them back until I got the car unimpounded. I will send them to you ups with the fastest shipping I can afford (and a tracking number will be e-mailed to you). I'm really sorry about this man, I've sold many an item over the internet and this has never happened to me."
March 31- emails me back promising he will send them out that night or the day after... sure enough your getting the picture by now. it dont happen
April 6 - emails me back with no response.
April 9 - He emails me saying. "OOOO i didnt have your address what is it again?" haha who are you kidding boyo
present day april 17th - havent from him since
I gave him multiple chances to send them and well this was his last chance so i guess hes outta luck. Im sure hes a good kid but for christ sake just give me my money back or the skis since your not even using them. All i know is he lives on the EC in the USA. his name is Jamie Kennedy and his girlfriend is Aubrey Litchfield and he skis at jiminey Peak. Does anyone know this kid. he seems to be a decent skier. Has anyone ever dealt with him over NS and bought anything off him successfully?
Any help is appreciated, i KNOW its bloody long but its a must.
