Guy, thanks for the update. sorry to hear things are not looking so good for the fella.....Fair comment Broocie albeit a tad clinical. I have to admit in his position (i have been) my last thought would be visiting a library to answer questions on a few parts when my head's up my a**e & working silly shift hours. I understand folks feelings if they hav'nt recieved parts they've paid for & also appreciate your position as an admin representing the forum & it's members but have a little compassion please.
If its any help, he can get good web/internet access via his local library to the likes of citizens advice and other help fora (including OOF... ;)) should he need to contact anyone personally about his situation. :y
As said via PM, the chap needs to inform folks personally, as best as possible, as to his future intentions.
Without sounding too heartless, his slack is already cut, as per my PM to you and he, and it appears MM needs to tidy OOF loose ends, as well as others. Cash in from one place = cash out to others, and all that....
Thanks for your understanding. :y
Heart goes out to the guy, I too was at the end of a long relationship exactly 10 yrs ago this week and it destroyed my Christmases for about 4 years after that too......
However, in my opinion, this guy has other peoples car parts/money and really needs to sit down and sort it out, sooner rather than later.....
He wasnt too stressed/busy to be taking other peoples money, so he cant be too stressed/busy to sort it out.......
Just my opinion........!!
:y
A night on the pop can be at least a temporary mental break but i do take on board & understand what some of you are saying. If i pay for something then i want/need, & am rightfully due it, fair go.
As said i am prepared to reimburse anyone thier pennies (MM can work it off on the Beastie). I know this does'nt entirely put things right but it's the best i can do for now. Guy. :y

:-* Well done you!.....A decent and very honourable act to salve (both) the forum member`s concerned; and a friend`s reputation.....Guy: you`re our Lion heart. :-*
My comment about this is that Mark knows that he is p---ing people on OOF off. How does he know - simple really, I told him (yesterday) that his reputation was going down the pan .........

Maybe .. but given the other problems in his life I expect OOF's opinion is pretty low in his priority list ... so the more folks wind him up about it .. the more likely he is to say "sod it" IMHO
Give the guy some slack and he'll remember and appreciate it, and sort things out IN TIME ... which is probably what he needs right now.

I dont understand the problem here.....
Yes he is going through a bad time at the minute.....
Yes he deserves as much patience as can be given....
HOWEVER.....!!
This guy has took other peoples money and is holding it without sending goods/giving refunds....
That to me, personally, makes him no better than any of the rip off merchants crawling around Ebay at the moment....
I think the whole "big family problem" thing is being pushed a little too far here, he owes people a personal apology and he needs to get his arse into gear and get this mess sorted out.....

Errr yeh you think that. ::)
If people want a 'business' like transaction with call centres to call, apologies with headed paper, and refunds, then go to a fcking shop!
Reality is people bought from him, to get items on the cheap, and knew the risks, this forum is not dedicated to selling items. Transactions have nothing to do with the forum, they take place between two individuals as stated in our rules. Its done at your own risk.
Stop being so pathetic, give the man a break and let him get his family and life in order, then go complain that your cruise stalk has not arrived. >:(
Got to agree with you their mate! :yQuoteQuoteQuoteMy comment about this is that Mark knows that he is p---ing people on OOF off. How does he know - simple really, I told him (yesterday) that his reputation was going down the pan .........

Is there something else which is stopping people owed money accepting this offer of yours and Guys ?
It is a generous gesture and hopefully those that are owed money will accept it back from either of you and learn a lesson about Mark in the process....
Sad when it gets to this stage though really......
And yes, Happy Christmas to EVERYBODY !!!!
:y :y :y
