Buyers Beware

If you are considering buying from or trading with Jake21/Jake22 please do yourself a favor and take a few minutes getting to know a bit more about the guy that you might be dealing with.

Jake does sell sleds for a very low price and usually ships them quickly. I myself have purchased $106.70 worth of sleds and a $200 LaserBee LPM from him. When things go smoothly he is a wonderful person to deal with; I actually wrote a positive review about him.

BUT... there have been numerous occasions where a deal with Jake became a hopeless mess. It seems that I am just his most recent victim. Please take some time to read the good and the bad about Jake.

The first place to look is his profile (Both Jake21 and Jake22). You should read all of his REP. COMMENTS because just looking at the number is misleading. Also take a look at his VISITOR MESSAGES.

If you would like to know what my experience was like, please see this thread that he started about me. It gives a very clear picture what Jake put me through.

And, if you have had a similar experience I encourage you to share it with everybody. *Start a thread in the TRADES FEEDBACK & DISPUTE RESOLUTION section here:

Best of Luck.

I'm not going to say anything about Jake that involves my dealing with him. All I will say is that I know what you mean. And I will stay away from that mess from now on as well.

i helped u out.....first the br broke by u twisting the back part off the module, then i sent u a WORKING red for FREE and i tested it before i sent it  : i would have sent another tomorrow if u did not act the way u did in the pm's u sent me  

like i said in a pm every diode is different i do not know how long they are going to last if i did i would never sell them to people  

im nice to people and will do any thing to help out to re-pay u for ur loss, but dont be a jackass to me like i broke it  

"first the br broke by u twisting the back part off the module"

You are the one who told me, the buyer (who is still learning about lasers) to take the freakin thing apart and mess with the pot. And it broke off because you wedged the thing in there instead of taking a little off the sides of the driver to have a nice fit. Then put massive wires that just fit through the hole, barely.

And the red probably didn't even last nearly 5 minutes at what you had it set at, I just threw a number out there. You sent it to me soldered off-center, part of a broken spring at the end that was loose as hell, and didn't even have an aixiz body over the driver, nor did it even have a focusing head.

I would rather count my losses and never deal with you again, Jake. You half-ass your builds, and you are harder to talk to than a deaf child who just opened his new Wii. I don't even care about getting any more of your monstrosities, so it doesn't matter.

Sigh...

Jake, when you were good, you were great..... but when things go wrong you are a total f**king disaster. *Dealing with you is just too big of a gamble..

You need to grow up and become consistently more reliable. *In addition to that, your grasp of the English language it tentative at best. It really makes working with you confusing.


Good luck.
