Just because he came forward now everyone is on his side?

Wtf? You buy a 40k car and if you get home and the dealer forgot to give you the floor mats... you what.. suck it up because it grand scheme of things...is not much compared to 40k?


Dude ignored him, and that is the problem. Obviously he didnt care until he was pubicly called out. Why couldn't he give the same response via pm?

I sure as hell wouldn't cry about it on the internet. I would handle it myself. This world is full of too many spineless whiners who depend on the opinions of others to support their own. That's the internet though. A giant group hug.

Like I said it's not the money value of the drive plug, what bug me to post it is the ignorance of the seller. I sent multiple PM and phone text, no response.
Now I post it publicly and he came out to response.

I was offered the plug from a few members here, thanks guys but I am not going to accept any. I know most of people still use common senses, and keep their words. It's just the principle.

Dannowar, I don't know what principle(if you have any) you follow.
Do you keep your word when you say something?
Can you make your fellow people trust you?
I leave that up to you.

I've bought and sold so much over this forum it would blow your mind. My principles include letting the little things go. Especially calling someone out on the internet because he forgot a piece that you'll never use besides storing it in your garage. The guy you purchased your kayak from is a good dude who would never go out of his way to cheat someone. The dude misplaced it. As for the 40 k car analogy...totally different ballpark. This is a tight knit community. Go find a rock and fish by yourself.

Integrity- your only as good as your word. Small or big- At least answer the guy back and tell him what happened instead of ignoring them. Geez

romspacenut owned up to it. The end, right?

Nope, looks like romspacenut is on the right side of this "tight knit community". So some people decided to bash Chet after romspacenut already owned up to it.



Ps: I am not against anyone(specially not romspacenut, sorry, just had to use the name so that my response makes sense). I just jumped in because it wasn't cool for Chet to get called a crybaby or whiner just for calling someone out.

Also,the analogy of the dealership was made to compare a very small fraction of the cost vs the main purchased item. Not to compare customer service, business practices, competition or whatever. It is within context because, even if they are worth .00001 of what you paid for the car, you would still want those mats.

WTF? If it's not the money and not the parts, then why all the whiney drama? Why the name calling? Why the attempts to shame him amongst fishermen and friends here in public? Is it all butthurt because he ignores you when you nag him?

Seriously, what's your point? You have what you bought and it's not about the parts or money? Sheesh.

Nevermind. Rhetorical questions.

Maybe this will help:

I have to agree with Chet. Doesnt matter if was 30 cents. He could not get in touch with seller. Dude was not replying to him. He did the right thing by putting it up. If I buy a 40k car and get home without the promised floor mat. You better believe the dealer is going to be delivering them to me. It is not the cost it is the principle. Seller could have replied and said he didnt end up having parts and sure this would have ended there.
