Title: Bounty hunt?!
Post by: Rob64 on March 06, 2009, 01:35:08 pm
Hey guys, I just found this browsing around JGS. This guy is a real jerk.

He stole stuff from their site and now they are offering a reward to make him pay... interesting huh.

You broke the first and second rules, but yeah that should pretty much take care of it.

It was new.  Also, Virtual Boy stuff tends to fluctuate in the market.

I wondered this myself, but he may be referring to the seller giving out a customers' personal information.  Though clearly the thief deserves it assuming everything we've been told is accurate.

So much for confidentiality ::)
If I were someone at JGS, I'd just take legal action or something...
It's stupid to put all of his personal info on their website for a non-paying customer.  It's not like it's the first time in history it's happened..

I'd be pissed if a company listed my personal info online and posted a bounty. Whether or not he payed, this is NOT the right way to go about it. It's the risk you take when doing business. I know I'd be cautious if dealing with JGS in the future. That's why we have the legal system and paypal and such. It shows their company in a bad light.

I never liked JGS.  Their prices are much too high.

And now I like them even less.

Finally got to read t his... all I can say is WOW whomever runs that site is a complete and utter moron. So they sent this stuff out before the payment had cleared and he decides to cancel the payment? Hmmmm... who's fault is it that that happened? You can blame the thief or blame yourself for being an idiot. Duh! The whole point of payment clearing is to make sure there's money there! So they say he canceled payment, but it could be he didn't have the funds to begin w/. When you send out without ACTUALLY being paid, you set yourself up for this sort of thing. Don't get butt hurt over it, learn from your mistake and move on. That's a nice chunk of change to just throw down a well, but it was their CHOICE to do so. I can see sending and not waiting for payment to clear if the amount is miniscule (I wouldn't, but I can see doing it), but not when we're talking hundreds of dollars. That's just plain foolishness.
