Just a heads up to you guys out there that I was taken for $375 in parts and shipping and countless hours of phone support from a guy in Petaluma CA. I don't think it was intentional but he has been ignoring e-mails for several months. Just because you lose your job does NOT make it OK to take my parts/money.

Beware of M.Zachary Sherman.

I don't know what mitigating circumstances (if any) are involved but he has made no effort to make things right with me....
 
Sorry to hear about that Mongo....

With a name like Zachary Sherman, I'd expect him to look like the kid on the right. Probably sounds the same too.

It was mostly my own fault as I had a personal policy to not suspect anyone of any shady dealings until they give you cause to distrust them. I have forgiven a lot of bad deals to many, many people in this hobby but this one took the cake.

My new policy is "cash up front, no stories".
 
That is only an hour or so north of CAX next weekend, any chance one of us can go try and repo your parts/get your cash for you or is it a lost cause at this juncture?

Why just one? Take a 50 person strong KLOV posse up there... It would make for a good CAX photo shoot!
 
Out of the blue today, I got an e-mail from the trader here in question. It contains an apology and an offer to make good. According to Mr. Sherman, a series of unfortunate life events took precedence over all else and he ended up living outside of the Continental U.S. and lost track of our interactions. I have no reason to disbelieve him at this point since there is no advantage for him to even bother contacting me at this point other than he is sincere...
 
Maybe it is this guy.:D

Funny you should say that. We had my wife's family here for a week. They brought along a boyfriend and his mom was a Manson girl back in the day. The guy loved the arcade and we had to drag him away.

Just sayin'...
