Anyone have contact details for Rimshot?

Hmm...Rimshot was one of the first members I bought stuff from when I first started here, couple different time even. He was great to deal with, and is obviously a long time member. I think I even bought some armor, maybe 6 months ago. I would say I have had at least 3 transactions with him, never any problems. Wonder what happened with him:facepalm


Thing is Nobby's issues with him started more than 6 months ago...

I hear what you are saying though. I bought a belt from him back in 04, no issues and quick turn around...
 
Thanks guys for your support.

I've spoken to him and the situation's like this:

He's all but given up both here and on the mercs site, which is why he doesn't answer PM's. He's not been here since October, not sure about mercs.

He's out of work and owes mommy and daddy money. He's spent all that I gave him. :eek:

A sale of a large prop (maybe the one up his a** :rolleyes) fell through and he was going to use this money to pay for shipping the rest of my stuff.

Someone else (possibly his imaginary friend :p) may be buying from him next week and he's going to let me know. Just like he promised me over a month ago - then.... nothing. :wacko

So, basically all I'm getting is bullsh*t


I've been doing a lot of thinking and I find myself in a position I do not like in the slightest. However, if his sale (if it even exists) falls through again I think I'm gonna send him the money so he can ship my kit to me.
I would do this because if I don't, I fear I won't ever see the the really important bits of my costume (helmet, flak vest and armor). So I end up spending a little more to prevent myself losing a great deal of money.:(

this situation sucks big time :cry:cry

Nobby, it is good that he is talking to you, lets take that as a positive. However, if he is out of work he must have all the time in the world to be making prop stuff?

Are there any members living close to him that can help out, i.e. collect the stuff, or he can ship it inside the us (less cost), then you send them the money to ship to the UK? Sending him more money, although I see where you are coming from, is still a bad idea. Maybe another alternative is to pay a courier such as DHL to collect from his address, if it falls through and you loose your money at least he did not have it?

Also, what is he making for you and is it coming finished? I have been reading the other threads and can't keep up lol.

Nobby, can you PM me the contact information you have for Rimshot please? I need to make it available to the member's that he's screwing over at Mercs.

Thanks man, I hope you get your stuff!
 
Well, positive that he's FINALLY talking to you. However, the whole I've given up here and Mercs that's why I don;t check the boards or PM's anymore, is a load of hogwash and makes him a thief and a contract breacher. I'm sure he was great in the old days however, in the last year he hasn't been at all. He's been a con artist.

So basically, he took peoples money they spent from props and shipping and spent it on his own personal needs and "floated" the existing orders with ne wincoming orders. However, when word got out that he was hosing people, new orders stopped coming, leaving the last batch of customers and you as well Nobby up the creek...

Maybe if you offer to go pick it up yourself...
 
Tipton, IN.

Its between Indy and Kokomo I think

I was considering getting it for you but it's 4 hrs. each way:eek: I live in the Chicago suburbs.:facepalm Honestly I would not send him anymore money, actually I'd get the authorites involved if it's a significant sum of money. PM me if you need any further assistance, I'd be happy to try and help you with forwarding any info to the police if you have trouble doing it on your own.

If he can give you the size and weight of the package , you can print and mail a shipping label off usps.com send it to him ,and then you are at least sure that he isnt getting any more of your money .

You can even do a UPS call tag. They will go to his door and pick it up. That way you don't need to worry about him not having the time to go to the post office. Or some other lame reason. good luck..

Yeah, I've already requested these details from him.
But with it being Thanksgiving weekend, I haven't heard back from him yet.

I've also had a very generous offer from another member here to go pick up my stuff and send it to me (at my own expense of course).

Rimshot last said to me that he'd let me know on Monday or Tuesday about the 'deal' he has yet to finalise, but I'll keep you guys posted on any developments.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the support you have shown me in this matter.

cheers guys.
