mushrat Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 While we warn folks that trades are at their own risk, this does not mean we put up with people when we get reports they are not playing nice. So, The Greek sent Skoozle a hookah that arrived both broken and incomplete. He has attempted to contact The Greek. I have tried to contact him as well. No reply. This would indicate the he knew what he was doing and is now pretending everyone doesnt exist until we go away. Alas, while Skoozle is filing the necessary paperwork, I am taking steps to protect other members by banning the account. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) It feels good to have people with ban hammers on our side. Thanks for having our backs, Mushy. Edited February 12, 2012 by Skoozle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainUM Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 this is lame. he kinda sheisted me a year ago when i told him i wanted to buy his alien mini off of him when my first one broke, responded with the shipping price,and then when i responded to that he told me he sold it to someone else, but i didn't think it was anything worth reporting. i hope he has some explanation for this whole thing because he seemed like a nice guy, but i won't be holding my breath for it to happen, either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoozle Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 From what I see, he decided to get out of HF or out of hookah all together and it was worth $85 to burn this bridge. It is what it is, and I don't see someone doing something like this with the intention of coming back and providing an explanation or restoring their reputation. With the exception of the miscount of the hose adapters I could see how this could have been unintentional and a result of poor packing. But if that was the case, I would have expected a response to PM's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Douchebag of the year... So sorry this happened to you, Ashley. You're a good dude and didn't deserve what this piece of shit pulled. Hope you can get your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Well I knew going in that it was at my own risk and you win some and you lose some. I'll do my best to make lemonade out of these lemons, but it bums me out when stuff like this happens and people have reservations about using the trades section as a result. The trades section can be a great resource for folks wanting to try something out with out making a big order. It has been for me in the past.

Chreees Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Yeah man, you may have been fucked this time, but soon enough something will happen to make up for it... I've noticed that happens to me a lot regarding money... I'll lose out $20 somehow but then gain $20 easily a few weeks later... Weird how things work sometimes. Coincidence? Who knows. I believe in karma, though. I feel good knowing that The Greek will get royally shafted sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoozle Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Here's an update on the situation. I didn't want to keep bringing attention to this until the situation was closed. The Greek got in touch with me shortly after this thread came up and the Ban Hammer had been dropped. I have been communicating with The Greek through email since then and we have settled the issue to both of our satisfaction. The Greek has refunded me part of the sale price so that I can order the necessary parts to get this hookah in smoking condition again. The sale did not go smoothly, but in the end, he made it right.
