BHWOLLEN: Negative transaction

Don't Laze Me Bro said:

Its obvious that BH wasn't trying to harm anyone, I have been in his shoes trying to do ANYTHING possible to get to someone before its too late, and I'm sorry if it sounds rude, but if that means someone will be out some money for a little while extra, then so be it because they can be refunded at ANY time, a sick relative may be leaving for good... In all honesty If I was the buyer, I would be more than happy that I was able to help him get to his relative, life and saying goodbye when that time comes is more important than getting money or product in a timely fashion... I've missed the chance to say goodbye before and that is something you regret for a lifetime unlike being late for payment or product.

bhwollen: You did what you had to, I'm sorry for the loss, don't feel like you've done wrong by any means. Concentrate on recovering as much you can...

I also have to agree with Wolfman on the general point he made - ie with respect to future transactions. Other people that may be reading this thread. It's just generally a bad idea to take payment ahead of actually having an item created. I really can't think of many situations where this is a good idea. - Perhaps a really custom item that wouldn't have value except to the person commissioning it. But for a 445 laser, considering the vast number of 445 lasers moving through these forums constantly, I just don't know that it makes any sense for buyers/sellers to exchange money ahead of goods actually being available.

We do this all the time in GBs... I've seen members send $$
up front for things to be produced and I have seen at least
one GB that has not ended yet after making members wait
way over a year for their paid-in-advance product...

It is common practice to receive a deposit of ~50% of the total
costs of producing a "one of" product that is obviously not
sitting on a shelf ready to ship.

This is to help source the parts required and not put all the
financial burden on the seller. It also shows that the buyer
is serious and binds the deal...

BTW... I haven't seen a response from Femto Doc after his
1st post....and he was on the Forum at 2:15 AM today....:thinking:


@bhwollen....
Sorry for your loss in the family....

Thanks hak. But this was ll resolved. He gave me the time I needed to order the replacement parts and send him the finished product. He stated in a different thread he was very happy with it.
