Bob Roberts, cross-shipping in jeopardy.

[Wundercade]

Instead of having a BAN LIST, Bob should have an APPROVED LIST. He should only cross-ship to those on the approved list, and dead beats get dropped off the approved list if he doesn't get your payment within 10 days. You get back on the approved list by timely paying twice in a row.

This would solve his problem.

I guarantee most of the "shitheads" that are late paying Bob are posting on klov and making other deals and are reading this right now. And even if they were outed here, people would find a way to defend them ( they always do). Honestly, I am sick of hearing how "so and so is really a good guy" and "so and so did me right all the times I bought from him". I am sure that would not be very comforting to Bob right now. To those of you ripping Bob off, pay that man and stop fucking over one of the best assets to our hobby.

+1 Only bought from Bob once, but it was smooth and great to get what I needed!

This pisses me off, and Bob doesn't deserve it. I say we get a collection going to send to Bob to see if we can put a dent into the money owed. Cross shipping is a great thing that Bob does, and we should let him know that. That list got a lot longer since the last time I saw it.

I'd go in on that too.

I agree 100%, people need to be held accountable for ALL their transactions. 1 or 2 good transactions shouldn't excuse someone from fucking over another member or even worse, Bob (because basically, when you fuck with Bob, you fuck us all over).

If anyone knows a KLOV'r who is on Bob's Shit list, out them! There are some of us here who will treat them appropriately.

I've always sent my payment the day after Bob confirms the order. Didn't even know about the 10 day thing and of course have never gotten an email regarding non payment.

So Do I, one time last summer when I was in Oregon for work, He sent me an email saying he had not received my payment after about 10 days. yet luckily I had my checkbook with me and Fed Ex'd him a check. 2 and 1/2 weeks later He sent me an email saying he received my original check 1 month to get to Louisiana from Calif. thanks post office

In regards to Bob having an approved list, I think people need to keep in mind that one reason (I'm sure) that Bob does cross shipping is because it's probably easier for him. Sure he has to keep a bunch of records and i'm sure Alice has a fit, but for Bob, he gets the order, he fills it, checks it, and sends it the hell out the door.

In a perfect world, this would work GREAT and usually it does. It's sad that people take advantage of him. I'll bet he got burnt BAD on some of that stuff too, because he's cross shipped me $500 worth of stuff before. I'll bet a few people burnt him that deep.

 

[Teknotoyz]

He hasn't.....you've got to be seriously delinquent to get on that list. Bob should start dating those names.....so we can see just how delinquent (and pathetic) these people are.

Edward

Heck yes, and add amounts owed too.....

If this is you... please don't ruin it for the rest of us and come on... it's Bob Fucking Roberts... show a little respect.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm just old fashioned, but Bob likely would not consider it a sign of respect with the "F" middle initial added.

 

[nesjess]

It is beyond me how some guys choose to literally steal from such a good man. I always send my check appropriately knowing full well I have the funds to back it up. Anyone in here who is screwing Bob over seriously has problems.

 

[lilman573]

I'd go in on that too.

I'd go in on it too.

 

[butthead]

He Just sent me 500.00 of Stuff. I have been late paying him due to my bookeeper, She thinks it a 30 day BiLL. WHO IS GOING TO TAKE OVER WHEN HE RETIRES ?? I got my stuff he got the check . He Is The Man. Next up for the JOB?
Thanks , Bob

 

[Cliffo]

Found one...

So, I started taking Bob's list and pumping it into "Mr. Google" I found this:

Scott Stilphen - Rock Hill, SC

http://www.digitpress.com/forum/search.php?searchid=4589975

http://2600connection.atari.org/scott.html

Seems he's a long time dirt bag, been screwing people over on the AtariAge forums and ebay for the past 6+ years.

He's also a member here...

http://forums.arcade-museum.com/member.php?u=31597

Hasn't be on in years... what a shame...

There is tons more on this piece of shit, you can google him if you want. Bottom line, don't deal with this douche, unless of course your definition of "deal with" involves stomping on his nuts, then by all means, feel free...

Sounds like we need an old fashioned

CODE RED ordered.

Then handle it yourself. That isn't an excuse for being late. Don't sit here and talk about how you are late and it's her fault and then go on to say Bob's the man. If he is the man then stop fucking him over. Period.

 

[Grey]

I have been late paying him

Amazing.... what Bob said on his website clearly went over your head. Cross Shipping means you have the money in your hands and send it right after he confirms the shipment, it dosen't mean "ok send it here and i'll work on paying you later".

I had a similar situation where it took 14 days from OH to LA. But I order a couple times a week and in over 200+ orders it has only happened once (like the priority mail order from Bob took 8 days last week - only time in 200+ orders). It's not anywhere near the norm, but it happened. The difference is, I can't control that, but I sure as hell control when the check is sent and I always make sure the check is mailed the next possible hour after receiving notice that he cross-shipped. Most of the time he emails me at 11:30pm or later, so it has to be the next morning.

The bill pay thing works too - I need to get back to doing that, buying rolls of stamps and boxes of envelopes is silly when you have that option, I guess I am just a little "old school" sometimes.

Bob would not accept it. It's been tried in the past and he refuses to take the money, otherwise I would be right there with you. Heck, I've sent him extra a time or two and I told him to just keep it (it was like $2 or something), and he just gave me a credit for my next order instead.

This happened to me I always send my check right out because he is just to important and I'm to impatient to mess it up. I got the email once sent another out that day and about a week later Bob sent my 1st check and the ripped up dirty envelope back thanks government ran post office. I guess I saved face since he did get both but still

 

[modessitt]

I had a friend who was getting an order ready. Sent Bob a list asking if he had that stuff. A couple days later he gets an e-mail from Bob: "Shipped your order today!" My buddy was like "SHIT!" He had to scramble to come up with the $100 to pay it...

 

[Krusher]

I bought from bob 1st time buyer.
Cross shipped payment went out and item was on its way!
And after screwing so many people +1 to him quitting cross shipping.
