Laser_Ben is a rip off! Don't buy from him!!!!

Hey SS...
not everyone's eyes are the same...

Some people are more or less sensitive to some wavelengths...

BTW... there is not a huge difference between the two wavelength colors..
or maybe my eyes are off as well..

Jerry

I just wanted to point out that fact that if he got a 611nm laser( and he knew it was that wavelength before the order ) and it doesn't show orange to his eyes, then he cannot blame the seller for that.

How do YOU know for a fact it was a 611nm laser pyro got from Ben? Sure Ben said it was but can YOU prove it? When Flaminpyro got his "orange" laser and turned it on he seen red, not orange so no telling what Ben sent.

 

[Laser_Ben]

Why do YOU refuse to deal with the issue in a civilized manner. You have NOT contacted me at all, I told you I would sort it out, but I need to know you are even willing.

Refund me and I'll go away. I did contact you, remember? I asked for a refund and you denied it so I posted here. You have several "buyers" that are ready to pay for the laser module so what do you have to lose?

Lies, pure lies, the only PM you have sent me was one saying this:

I bought the 125mw 532nm laser module and you sent me a "AA" size battery. I have begun a paypal dispute.

As for Flaminpyro:

Your PM's to me have been making things up. Here is your last one...

I think if you check the PM's I asked you the COLOR not the FREQ of the laser YOU stated Orange NOT 611. you stated you would not refund my money just because it is a working laser, so if this laser works sell it to someone who wants it . I ordered a ORANGE laser from you and that is NOT what you sent me ! it's RED ! I will not continue to badger with you your next reply should state you are sorry for sending me the wrong laser and you will refund my money plus shipping if you want this RED laser back.
if this is not your reply I will post a complaint with paypal to get my money back in which case you my never see this laser again and lose the money. also I will stay right on top of your sales showing anyone who wants to see these posts from you about one stupid silly little laser.

Not only are those facts wrong, but let me quote some of the first messages to/from you...

Howdy Ben that sounds good, I would like to know a couple things about the laser, do you have any idea how many hours are on it to the closest say 100hrs ? , is it 120 volt AC or 12 volt DC input, and it is an orange/orange red color right ? beam shot not nessary they never look right as far as color goes. and you would garrentee it not be DOA ? (covered in shipping insurance I guess)
I can paypal you when I get home in Two days, (I'm out of town right now getting my neck cut open by the doctor, things are ok now he got it all out.) so let me know the answer to my questions and we will have a deal.

Thanks and Best Regards

Pyro...

My Response:

To answer your questions:

The laser was removed from a piece of equipment that was only slightly used so I would say that it has 1000 hours or less on it. It has a 18-24V input for power. The color is a nice orange color.

I can assure that the laser will not be DOA

No rush on payment, get well soon with your neck surgery.

PayPal is blanked out for your enjoyment

Thanks,

His response:

it all sounds very good Ben I will take it, it's sold ! I have a hene 120v supply that should work with, it right now it's used on a red hene. I will get home tomorrow so then or the next day I can paypal you.

thanks again have a great day


Pyro...

Then his first message when receiving it...

Say Ben whats the reason you are not answering my posts, to busy my friend.

Pyro...

What posts? I don't delete any messages, that is the only one I got from you after the package arrived.

A later message:

Ben Yes I have been trying to get ahold of you since the HeNe arived. it looks just like any other red HeNe to me and I beleive I prob had my first one before you were born !
I spec asked you if it was a orange/orange red color and you stated ORANGE well if it was orange it would be worth $160.00 and we would not be having this typing thing going on, but it NOT it's red and I want you to take it back refund my money plus $10.00 for shipping and not try to pawn it off on some other person as orange, you sell it as a red laser thats what it is, and then see just how much it will sell for. I have not said any thing but the truth if you had told me it was a red laser do you think I would give you $160.00 for it are you nut's. nothing slanderious has been said here only the truth. and I will continue to state the truth till you take back your RED laser !

Pyro...

From you:

p.s. you been bussy, Dude since the laser arrived I have built one heat sink and completed one PHR build, cut down a 120 foot tall tree, wired a garrage with 100 amp service, tore out two walls in a house, had an MRI on my shoulder, went to the ER got hooked up to an IV for a few hours, and many other things also got done, so don't give me any crap about too busy, I do lots of stuff every day and I still manage to get on here, hell right now I'm over 400 miles from home.

SO, that being said, you never contacted me about your issues with the laser before you posted in my threads, you bought a laser from a thread selling a 611nm one. YOU DID, thus when I sent you a PM, I assumed you had actually read the thread about what you were buying. The laser is technically orange, to me it appears orange, to my spectrometer, it's orange (611.98nm peak). They don't just change wavelength, you have a laser that is 611nm sitting in front of you. You said yourself it works, you got what you paid for.

I am willing to work with buyers to solve their problems. I have no issue with that, my issue is when you cannot communicate in a civilized manner and resort to making things up before even trying to solve the problem.

sportcoupe dont be such a dick about this and whining to people that to be quite honest dont really care, we all here know laser ben is a good trustworthy guy and has quite openly said he would fix your issue by sending you a NEW module.

Stop being such a little nonse about it, grow up and learn how to except an apology, if you handled this the right way I am sure your module would already be in the post.

How is asking for a refund "being a dick"? I am not "whining", I am "warning people" about this fraud.

 

[Laser_Ben]

No, the reason is because you bought something from a thread that was clearly "AS-IS" then jumped the gun. When I offered to send you a replacement to correct my mistake, you refused.

 

[Deleted member 8382]

i think everyone is atacking ben while I see he's just trying to solve a lots of missunderstandings by THE CUSTOMER.if its that wavelenght and you don't see it's orange, well, 611 is orange. not his problem.

if he sent the other guy a battery, well, its his fault, he's shipping the correct item, but you refuse and want the money back. lol he's in his right to send you the item since you bought it lol.

my aproval for ben, who is just trying to solve things.

Yours,
Albert

Unfortunately your approval isnt going to make a difference and i dont think anyone cares much for it.

Of course He is trying to make things right, im sure he doesnt want to part with the $$.


The "customer" should get a refund and go on their merry way. It would solve alot of problems and keep Ben's reputation a bit clearer than what this thread has shown.

 

[phoenix77]

Normally, I stay out of Forum arguments, just cause I don't want to get involved, or make enemies, & mostly cause ALL of BOTH sides of the dispute aren't printed without SOME BIAS, on one side or the other. But this time I JUST HAVE to put in MY 2 cents. I've known drew since I joined this Forum, have done business with him COUNTLESS times (JUST GOT DONE WITH SOME, MATTER-O-FACT) & during all the conversations, all the deals, trades, or any business that we have conducted, everything was done in a friendly, professional way. I have ALWAYS been treated with kindness & respect from drew. You've been a member of this Forum for GEE, a whole month ? This is the way you treat a well known & well respected, long time member of our Forum ? Be glad I'M NOT a Moderator or Administrator, or you'd be banned not only from Modwerx but from this Forum also. You picked one HELL of a way to show the kind of person you are to the entire Forum. Where the heck do JERKS like you come from anyway. Please start your OWN FORUM with others of your ilk, & get the HELL off of ours.

Nice one Rob!

Thank you, Chris !!!

It is not fraud. I gave you a perfect explanation, you refused to let me correct the problem. In that case, you cannot say that I am committing fraud. I made a mistake. You are the one who is trying to make this a bigger deal then it is. Send me a PM, send me back the battery, and I will send you a new module.

No, I don't really want to part with the cash, that is true, that is the reason I was selling them. I am giving him the product he paid for and he is refusing it! That is not a wrong thing on my part!

I don't think this thread has hurt my reputation at all. If anything, it has shown that I have sold to a customer who has no idea at all, and to one who has refused to accept the product he bought.

I made a mistake and I gave an honest try to correct it, but the buyer did not want it corrected, he just wanted his money back. It is not wrong for me to correct my mistake.

Hey Laser_Ben,

You need to respond to my PMs before I start adding onto this CRAZY STUPID thread.

Does a $25 payment at the end of March ring any bells? I have been VERY patient.

I don't like going to PayPal with disputes, because that seems like a "Rat" thing to do, but you have had plenty of time.

Steve

Well Ben, here we go.

I ordered a HeNe tube from you at the end of March. You said you would ship it out on the following Wednesday. I waited a whole month and got nothing. I then PM'd you see about tracking it to see how far it got. Nothin'. I PM'd again. Nothin'. Waited another week and E-mailed you, asking either to send me a HeNe laser or refund my money. Nothin'.

So about 2 weeks ago I saw you in the chat area, and politely asked you about where my HeNe Laser is. You said you would look into it, and if you had to you'd send a new one because you have a bunch laying around.

I waited a couple of days, then I PM'd again. Nothin'.

Then I see this thread. So I thaugh I'd post something(Quoted above) and wait for your response. I've waited 48hours since that post in this thread and you haven't PM'd or responded to me in the thread.

Now I've been about the most patient customer anyone could ever ask for, but your lack of response has gotten me annoyed, to say the least.

You can expect another PayPal dispute if you don't respond to this by Tuesday.
