Normal
I am a customer and got conned on a cryorig from the guy that was clearly buying from Taobao and selling as a customized part (see my post in the thread above). the guy is totally full of sh** and only refunded my 7660 purchase because I was able to get his contact info from his Brazilian company filing. the whole thing was a thinly veiled con job that misrepresented the goods being sold. his emails to me and everyone in these forums consist of empty assurances and bs reasons to delay the time period beyond the 180 day guarantee. I've bought a bunch of custom parts from legit sole proprietor vendors that actually create their own awesome products like J-Hack (dude is a champ) and salvo studios that been have delivered on time without any shenanigans and refunded without delay when needed.I wouldn't say this stuff just to stoke the flames of outrage, this guy is a best a poor businessman peddling "custom" parts to unwitting and trusting SFF enthusiasts and at worst (and most likely) a fraud that has bilked enough money from enough people to warrant a banning and a dedicated thread on how many people lost money to his grift. just as a benchmark, you shouldnt have to go to the lengths I did to get a refund.to blame angry, jilted customers for the guy's inability to provide reasonable returns for money payed in exchange for a big fat nothing does nothing more than perpetuate the same thing the poster above referenced, a disillusion that anything this dude did was ever in good faith.
