Reminds me of my dealings with JB buying a Vader helmet and getting ripped off. Excuse after excuse. I hate the feeling and suffer with you man!
Anyone have contact details for Rimshot?

Funny thing is Rimshot is still selling stuff! Now he's selling Ghostbusters gear.
Thanks Ernie, I may just have to take you up on that offer.
He was selling the Proton Pack to pay for my shipping, but seeing as it did not sell I'm now back in the same situation I was in a week ago.
I'm going to try to get hold of him today and see what he says.
If I don't get appropriate answers then I'll send Ernie a PM.
cheers guys
Transcript of a conversation I've just had with him on Yahoo messenger:
(I had previously asked him if Ernie could pick my stuff up for me)
Andrew Robinson: Hi Mark, if you let me know his address, I can ship the items to him if thats how you would like to handle it. Shipping them within the U.S. would be much much cheaper than sending them overseas.
nobbynobby40: No, this guy lives 15 minutes away from you. He would then ship straight to me. It's going to cost me more money, but at this rate I'm never going to get my stuff.
Andrew Robinson: My parents would not want a stranger coming here. They are very private people. In fact after you called that time, I got interogated as to how you got their phone number. I had to explain it was on my paypal account, and they made me change it. My shipping it to him would be the best option
nobbynobby40: Well if you had shipped to me as you had promised, and I paid for, we wouldn't be in this predicament.
nobbynobby40: Surely you can tell your parents to expect someone to come pick this stuff up if I give you his details
nobbynobby40: All you need is to have it ready for collection. He would not come into your home. Just take my stuff and leave
Andrew Robinson: Let me discuss it with my parents and see what they say. I will get back with you
nobbynobby40: Ok. Please do.

Andrew Robinson: I have to go now, but will get back to you with an answer as soon as I can
nobbynobby40: Thank you, I would appreciate a quick reply

Something seems very fishy here. Why won't he let anyone come to his house???????????
I'll post more as soon as I have it.

Just as an FYI. We've banned Rimshot over at on the Mercs site in lieu of all this. We've got his contact info on file for anyone who's gotten screwed over by him.
I'm glad your making *some* headway with him Nobby. I hope it works out for everyone who's still waiting on gear.

Sounds like he does not have the stuff for someone to collect.
What is outstanding Nobby?

I think the issue here isnt as much as he doesnt want anyone coming to see where his family performs their illicit activities as much as it is that he doesn't have the stuff. In fact, I think the reason he wants Nobby to cough up more shipping money is to (maybe) buy the materials for the order.
That seems to be the way he operates and is among the reasons we banned him from Mercs. We won't tolerate sellers coming in and ripping off our members.
I hate to say it Nobby but, short of coughing up more $, I don't see you getting your stuff from this guy. Heck, even if you cough up the $, there's no promises.
I'd seen a post where someone had suggested contacting your and his local authorities. Honestly, the amount spent does come to a felony grand theft that he could potentially do state prison time for. If he doesn't answer up ASAP, I would go that route. You may not get your stuff but, you'll get justice that most theft victims never see and you have ALL of his contact info to provide. I recommended to our victims at Mercs to do the same and perhaps even try to go class action Federally as it crosses state lines and becomes multi jurisdictional.
Make good or make license plates...

It crosses international lines too, not sure how that would factor in.
make good or make license plates...lol that's pretty funny
or at least would be if it wasn't such a bad situation.If the dudes parents are so private or whatever why have they not kicked him out of the house? :rolleyes
I don't think it is that he doesn't have the stuff, because he has said he will happily ship within the US.
Anyway, I'll put it to him to meet Ernie somewhere neutral.
If that doesn't work, I'll get Rimshot to ship to Ernie, then I'll pay Ernie to ship to me.
What a carry-on!!!

Personally, you're handling this tremedously, very adult like, and should be complimented.
If it were me, I'd have gotten the local police's information, and let him know it's next step. Plus, i'd call this A**hole EVERY day, and make a point to speak to his parents EVERY day. He would eventually shutter and cringe EVERY time phone rang.
If my kid were truly in some trouble over a few $$ for shipping, i'd have already taken care of it for him, and taken care if the punishment myself. If the law was involved, most of our parents would IMMEDIATELY take care of it, and then take it out of our a**.
Hope it works out bro. If not, we'll all chip in to get THUNDERKISS down there and REALLY handle it...

I just feel that if I get nasty, then I'll definitely end up with nothing!!
