No you were right, I'm not concerned at all because I don't make stuff up in my head. If something terrible like a dinosaur attack happened then this will all be addressed then, but for now it's a -1.

I guess it is ingrained in me by this point in my life to have more doubt in a person's nature than their circumstances. It's probably the environment. Thanks New Jersey!

Dude....you need a hug or something. You are an angry person.

lol seems like everyone here is giving them out lol What's the point of feedback if no one ever puts up a -1?

anything COULD have happened but if he says there was a car accident we just take his word for it and its over? Negative feedback is just as important as positive feedback. I will keep this in mind if i ever receive negative feedback i can just say something terrible happened and that excuses me.

I suppose I'm in the minority by believing that the majority of people are good : :unknw:

AND I deal with bad people all day too.

Hey, come on now! You deal with good guys here and there!

Am I the only person who is concerned that GregV might have suffered some type of accident or medical emergency?

 

Im with Mak ... You never know! hope all is well

Quite a thread here...

 

I think no feedback should have been left until after a week or so of not hearing back. At the end of that time, if he still hasn't contacted you, then maybe a ?1 instead of a -1. It sucks he never met you but all of this is up in the air as you have not heard back from him, and it sounds like Maks hasn't been able to contact him either. Maybe his phone accidentally broke and he doesn't have your number? Maybe he's seriously hurt or in the hospital? Maybe he said screw it I'm not meeting this guy? It could be a number of different things, and I think until it's figured out, then decide on feedback.

I'm going to interject a random thought here. Maybe he isn't dead in a ditch somewhere and..............just forgot? I bet it is just something normal, or maybe I'm just crazy.

Will he be made to present documentation as to why he never met, or will his word be good enough?

Thoughts!? That right there proves you're crazy.

Well no matter what, I hope it's just that he deserves a -1 and not something else. That's why I said originally, it's not good to pass judgement until all the facts are known. Even more so these days. When we had the rating system, I would alway look at their rating, just because it provided a little more info to me on what kind of person they are. Now that we don't have that system, I feel -1's carry a heavier weight to them. While I have never had a bad deal, and everyone I have meet here from the forum have all been great people, well the jury is still out on Ray-Ray (just kidding buddy) I just thing what we have is this section to know if we want to do a sale with someone we don't know. Just my opinion.

oh.... this thread is still going?

Thanks to NJ and our strict gun laws we can not adequately defend ourselves from a Dinosaur attack. The poor fellow may have been consumed already..............

+1 for M4BGRINGO....all we can hope is that the TMNT made it there in time.

While I would have -1 him also, I think everybody wants to be sure that he didn't get hurt. Best case is he backed out and wasn't man enough to face up to it. Worst case, he got killed in a car accident where a trex ate him.

Being that this is still going. To the OP, did you ever get a phone contact or other way to communicate with this person other than just here on the forum, and have you tried to contact them and get their side of the story?? Just wondering.

Why does this thread remind me of this scene...

 

 

Can't wait to get the really all stones... or a duck out.

 

 

I would have -1 him also by now.

Email him the link to this thread , give him 7 days to respond with a legitimate excuse at which time a jury of his peers will be selected by the mods. They can go over all evidence presented and come to a verdict. A guilty verdict carries a -1 feedback and a not guilty verdict clears him of all wrong doing and no feedback will be left for this transaction.

Is this thread for real or is everyone friggin with op? (friggin?really what a gay word)

 

GregV most likely flaked on the deal, therefore he deserves a -1.

If he is dead in a ditch somewhere, I don't think a -1 is really going to effect him.

 

 

Why can't op leave a -1 without getting jumped on? If you flake on a deal you deserve a -1.

I would have no issues with anyone getting a -1, or leaving bad feedback, if someone backed out of the deal. Things come up, some have even tried to give themselves a -1. May I remind you that NJGF first and foremost is a community, was started for that reason. I consider everyone here my friends, and have had the privledge of meeting at least 500 people over the past 4 years. This is not ebay, gunbroker or whatever. The Marketplace is a benefit, and an extra perk of the community. Anytime there is a bad deal, it gets taken very very seriously, and most people try to work it out. If something legitimately happened on the way, I would be very concerned for a member first and foremost, and if something seriously happened, giving the -1 would be the last thing on my mind.

 

I want to make sure people honor their agreements, or feel pressured to. This is why I asked you to pm me the details so we can find out what went wrong, if the deal can be resolved, and if not, everyone is free to give their feedback.

 

By coming here immediately and posting -1, with the I don't give a shit attitude, don't try to help me, while you are within your rights to, you are acting like a douche treating this as ebay only caring about yourself.

 

Now, since I do not have access to PM's, privacy is a big deal with me and why we chose this forum software, I have done a bit of digging and it seems to me the following facts.

 

1. GregV has done other deals in the past with no issues.

2. Your deal was for 2 bricks of 22 for a total of $40.

3. GregV is mid 40 year old.

 

So..... Going off of that, I would conclude, something serious happened, as I have met very few 40 year olds who have done other deals on the forum, flake out on $40 worth of ammo.

 

I have sent GregV a pm/email, however if anyone has dealt with him before, and has his phone number or full name, please let me know as I am seriously concerned for an NJGF member.

 

Chris... (lunker) you my friend have been quite a pessimist recently. Who has been pissing in your cheerios?

I just heard from GregV. Turns out he did suffer a heart attack and was rushed to the ER that night. Tonight was his first night back online. There are a lot of people who should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

I disagree. If I never hear from someone again on a deal we are supposed to consummate am I supposed to assume the best? Await confirmation that may never come about why someone had to bail? Do I need proof of wrongdoing or bad intent before throwing a -1 someone's way? This was the rarest of exceptions, not the norm.

Ahhhh............don't be so rough on the guys. I probably would have been right there with my big mouth open waiting to put my foot in it. LOL No harm no foul. All the BS aside.....................I NEED AMMO .22, .223, and 7.62x39.......................anybody wanna meet?

I want my damn .22 I was promised.....................or I am going to post a -2!!!!!

+1 for Lunker (again)

and a huge +100 for GregV for being alive with a sence of humor

I am glad to hear you are doing better. It does seem that ammo is starting to be more available than just a few weeks ago. Keep checking www.ammoengine.com, and have a credit card handy. Stuff goes fast.

I just wanna shoot......................Purchased a new trap gun during the Newton mess, took a while to get it. Got it right before New Year. Haven't even fired it. I need to kill some clay and put some holes in paper!!!
