Never a good time for a marriage to fail .. and with kids involved Christmas is probably the worst time ..

The stress is probably pretty high, and the odd "night off" to get lathered is IMHO allowed.

From my dealings with the guy he was always honest and upfront, although sometimes needing a little push to complete his side ....

Given the promises made by an obviously genuine friend (and there are too few of those around these days) I think everyone should be satisfied .... eventually.

It might just take a wee while... time in which we can all be glad we are not going through what he is.

Guy .. next time you speak to him pass on my best wishes please..

[albitz]

well put Entwood.

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_want_an_Omega]

Fair point, but I wasn't rubbing it in. He was telling me about his problems and OOF is but a small part of the total  - which he is very concious of ......

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.....

In reply to those whom are not happy with Marky mark and thier outstanding debt.  He emailed me as soon as he had problems with getting access to the OOF and asked me to forward a message to Admin as soon as he knew he had issues, this was before I was rushed into hospital.

The guy has issues and has tried to explain.

So, as well as Guy I am prepared to put my money where my mouth is and help out with the offer of refunds for those members who feel aggitated with the current situation.

I will chat with Guy as it is silly to deal with multiple refunds with multiple parties.  As long as proof of payment is available and Guy can confirm with Mark then I am happy to support Mark during his current troubles.

Tis the season of Goodwill, so give the guy a chance and accept a refund in good faith or have the Seasonal Good Spirt and put some faith in Mark honouring his offers of selling parts.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New New to One and All.

Before his current problems he had a fantastic reputation on the forum for supplying good quality parts at good prices,and doing good work on peoples cars for not a lot of money.So it is probably safe to assume that his problems have turned his life upside down and rendered him unable to presently function in the way he previously did.
I think anyone who is owed money etc, and hasnt dealt with him before and built up a significant level of trust with him should take Guy and Skruntie up on their very generous offer and then let the subject lie until such time as Mark hopefully is able to come back and provide us all with the great service and support that he has always previously provided.

[webby23]

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 !!!!

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. 

[albitz]

He sold me 4 brand new Dunlops last summer for less than the price of one,then liased with Guy to arrange to have them brought to a meet not far from me so I could collect them.Rip off merchants dont do things like that.

Got to agree with you their mate!

Are there any bits that people have ordered from Mark that are critical? IE - Omega wont function without / not safe to use? If so, drop me a PM as I’m breaking an Omega at the moment and if I can help by posting an item on Marks behalf, then so be it (bearing in mind the Omega I’m breaking is 15 mile up the road from me, so only have limited access to it).

As it actually happens, I'm waiting for a few bits and bobs from Mark myself - However they’re not overly important. Last time I spoke to him I know he was in the shit big time, and therefore I said to him that I would get them whenever (its only a cam belt cover for a kit car project anyway and a couple of other bits!)

Your the one ranting & demanding public apologies from him  :-/

Suggest you think more about posting that kind of stuff, because it is going to generate a response.
