Hangar Flying

This is a response to another poster to the group...


I just really have a problem with my character and integrity being publicly attacked without an opportunity to address the issue at hand.

The timeframe of events are as follows;

12/6 - First e-mail regarding the problem at 10:52am, which is 1:52 his time. I respond at 10:57 then leave for work.

He e-mails back at 11:20am, and 3:40pm local. He is 3 hours ahead. In the mean time, he already has posted here and files a complaint with paypal. A little over 4 hours!

I e-mail back at 7:02 pm and he replies at 8:00 pm local. Basically I wanted to find out more about this servo for myself.

12/7 - I am gone early am for work and return at 10pm. He had emailed at 2:34pm and posted here again on the local board.

I e-mail at 10:31pm to send the servo back since I didn't have a chance to really look into it further and again at 8:35 am on the 8th with the return address.

I didn't find out about the posts here until last night. Does it seem to you like I was unresponsive? Within 1 day I had told him to send it back. He has already damaged my reputation so I might as well take him up on it and tell him to piss off...

You know, the interesting thing is hiflyer68 posted to this forum on the same day (within hours) as he allegedly received the servo.  Please tell me, how does that work out to the Seller not responding to his request in a timely manner or being intentionally deceptive? I am the Seller of the item in question and I have NEVER intentionally deceived anyone! Before I even arrived home from work after the initial e-mail and response he had already filed complaints with paypal and posted here.

As I told this guy, I bought a Long which was a project flyer.  It was flooded out in Corona, CA  this year so is in rebuild. The plane came with (as I was told) a new NavAid auto pilot in the box, of which I still have the original Seller's advertisement.  I have never purchased one so had no reason to believe what I had was not as advertised when I bought the plane.  The head unit looked to be as new and one of the local guys bought it from me to replace one that did not work.  By the way, I just found out the servo is in fact a very early Navaid.

Anyway, when I received the initial e-mail regarding the problem I answered right back before leaving for work.  I returned a few hours later to find 2 more accusatory e-mails stating I lied, blah blah blah. I was never given the reasonable opportunity (read even 24 hours) before this guy starts posting all over the place, including filing an immediate complaint with paypal.  I take offense at the manner in which this guy has conducted himself.  I have bought and sold numerous items over the net and on various websites without issue.  Maybe I should do exactly as he says and screw him out of his money given the fact he has already sullied my reputation in this community.  Even though names were not posted, it is pretty easy to figure out who is who.
