Default Need help with Mike Kennedy in Maine, aka 2000 B4C, aka bottlefed B4C

Sent him a check for $480 for a hood. His pm says it cleared on 6/6. Here are some of his pm's to me.
6/7
Payment for the hood cleared from my bank on monday, So we are good to go there.
I got an estimate last week for the shipping and it was going to be $125, I was going to bite the bullet on that one, but when I got there... they were going to charge me $286.96... I cannot affford to do that alone. I am going to check a few other places around here. What I need to know is if I cant find any cheaper places would you be willing to pay more for shipping?
I am very sorry for this inconveniance... I have never run into this problem before.

Please let me know,
mike

I just got the message from your buddy, I'm going to contact them today and see what I can do.
Sorry, I can't respond real quick, I have no internet at home so I have to wait until I get to work.

Thanks for your patience, I will have more for you by the end of the day.

I have sent that guy 2 emails requesting a quote for shipping, and have received nothing back... Maybe your buddy could email him and ask him for a quote...
From my zip of 04011... If he can get it cheap, I will build the box and take it to a terminal...
To be honest with you I really do not want to spend $300 to ship it... As I am sure you do not.

-mike
I have also sent him an email that he has not responded to telling him I want to work this out. So at this point, he has my money and hood, yet wants more money? First contact was made nearly a month ago, so needless to say, I have lost all my patience. I paid $400 for a hood that costs less than that new, but I wanted it white, so I was willing. Then I added $80 for shipping which he agreed to.
This is the worst communication from a seller that I have had. If anyone knows him, tell him to check his email and pm's. I sent him my phone number and want to talk about this and get it taken care of.

Come on guys don't post something for sale unless you are truly ready to handle the situation. I just sold a set of wheels & tires that I went ahead and sold for $800 SHIPPED. After packaging and shipping was all taken care of I made a whopping $600. It was a learning experience for me and I kept it that way. Don't break deals with buyers because of your lack of being prepared to sell.

Awesome, thanks JMBLOWNWS6. I'll at least give him until the next time he logs on to this site. If I get blown off again, I will contact that site. I do have all Mike's info.

Sent him another email today asking for some sort of response. I even said I will send more money, but not until after I get my own shipping estimate and have received the hood. Sounds like the fairest plan to me.

Unfortunitly you aren't the only one having this from Mike.

I've banned him from my site hopefully they'll do the same here.

Yep, I did a search trying to track him to any sites he frequents. I saw he hasn't been on your site for a while. This is exactly why I won't send him more money without the hood.

Yeah, after he screwed a member out of $1,000 he instantly disapeared. We need to go to other site's he's on and warn the members, it's just not right to do this to other people.

I see Mike was on the board today finally. First time since 6/20. Of course he did not click my read receipt for my last pm. So I have no idea if he actually read it.

What the hell????? if a seller and buyer agree on a price, and a shipping cost, then that's what it needs to be, bottom line. Derek sent the money as agreed and now he has jack ****?? I've been through this same damn thing before when shipping ended up being more than agreed upon... as a seller you should not agree to a price until you are FOR SURE that's what it's going to be and if it's NOT that price then you need to own up to it and take care of it.

At the very least, refund the money altogether to Derek and go on.

So I went to his cardomain site and wrote in the guestbook Wanted to let people know what a douche this guy is. He has now, of course, deleted my entries. I am not able to make any more comments either. I might have been ignored by him.

So if anyone feels the urge, please sign his logbook and tell the world what a crook this ****** is.

I am also sure he is checking this thread anonymsly

File charges.

Post up his full name, city and state, and we will make it a sticky.

Maybe he should just send you a refund.

Have you checked for his home number? If he's young, call his parents too. I don't like it when folks **** around.

just an update. He contacted me 7/18 and was apologizing for everything that happed. He had a story to give me, and that is fine, I did not question it.
So I get him a new shipping quote to use. I sent it to him and now have not heard back again. He has not been on since 7/27. Very frustrating after having a glimmer of hope.
