Potential Callout

**300hp** · 10-17-2007, 02:50 PM

everything else is secondary to the fact that you made a choice to take his money by cashing the check. You only take someone's money when you are fully prepared to send them the goods they purchased with equal speed. If you were going to be on vacation you could have not cashed the check until you got back. Instead you put GBB at a disadvantage by having not only the goods he wanted but his payment in your possession at the same time.
lame.

at least now we know a great shop to go fuck around in - try on things we are going to pro deal, ask dipshit questions, etc...

Rick Bell of Christy Sports in Vail is a lying fucking douchebag.

Need I say more?

see - I asked around..........

We'll see what happens.

So were you going on vacation, or was the shop closed? And it's awful nice that gbb funded your vacation.

I suggest you back off on the tone, begging forgiviness for 'forgetting' to send the skis will go miles compared to being pissed that we're questioning your intents.

edit: and well done B11

It's clear the guy was trying to rip you off. Give me the location of the store, and I'll go in and have a talk with him in the next hour, and IF, he has the skis, I'll take them and ship them to you. Fuck this guy.

PS, I'll bring my camera. It's photoshop time.

Dude, I want your avatar! That fuggin rocks!

PS: Good to see this whole thing turned out to be OK - you deserve a case of your favorite suds for going WAY out of your way to help!

Dude, I think I was more than polite to you.
I do think you handled everything wrong. As far as your "intrgrety", whatever that means.....

SR-I didn't mail them out cuz the shop was closed.
Me-you do know you can ship skis at the post office, right?
SR-Yeah, but I can send them out for free here at the shop.

So "intrgrety" means charge someone for shipping, but not mail them out for a month because you want to pocket that money. Gotcha.

Hey Blurred, any chance that you'd be willing to give us a little more information about the interraction with that dude? Sounds like you were pretty hot when it was all said and done.

For what it's worth, GBB, I think you're a standup guy for looking out for Rick for as long as you did. I don't think that anybody on here would have thought you wrong for coming out with the guy's name and address at any point, but you handled it really well - always giving the guy the benefit of the doubt. Too bad he turned out to be a jerk.

**Poop~Ghost** · 10-17-2007, 03:09 PM

SR - put yourself in GBB's shoes for ONE second... you have somebody take your money and then stop all communication. WFT do you think is gonna happen?! You get on the god damned tellie-fone and or shoot an email or tell a friend to email him that you boned up and will get it mailed ASAP... welcome to planet earth dumbass.

So now that you've got free shipping back from your shop, you can't go ahead and ship him a free tune and mount card?! If I were you, I'd be shipping him a couple of those w/ an enough extra $ for him to pick up a couple sixers for all the pain in the ass you put him though.

enough already.

and here's the dick emoticon too:

**Art Shirk** · 10-17-2007, 03:09 PM

If this thread ends in a ski-off, I vote Hall of Fame.

Yo Sick Rick, go sit on a fence post! We all know that shit happens, but folks with half a brain take responsibility for their actions, request some forgiveness and keep on living life with a shred of karmic balance.

Wait YOU are pissed about this situation? And when exactly were you going to give him this card when the skis were already boxed up?

**f2f** · 10-17-2007, 03:12 PM

blurred is the hero of the hour, good job, mang!

An outstanding point. You know Rick, you still have his address, and $30 to ship him a card for a free mount & tune, I think you could make this happen. Although I don't know why a resident Texan would drive all the way to Vail to tune and mount skis....

**Skidog** · 10-17-2007, 03:17 PM

RICK...got anything else to sell?? Ill send the money first...cash it and then decide when/what you want to send me..

Im guessin you WONT be posting any items for sale on here in the near future...too bad cause things get bought and sold here like wildfire...

BLURRED...you are without a doubt the effin MANG......way to look out for a fellow mag...

You know even with all the "noise" this board has....stuff like this makes it all worth it...GOOD JOB BLURRED.....GBB glad you're getting your shit..

Thanks to college, Texas is now only my summer home. Although the state I'm in now isn't much better, but I am only 6 hours from the mountains!

**thommy21** · 10-17-2007, 03:22 PM

GBB- Did he really charge you for shipping? I looked in the original post and the $250 was supposed to get you free shipping.

i call for refundage of shipping dollars because that shit is whack.

blurred if i ever run into you a beer or a puff is on me. it's a bummer i have a really good friend who works at a christy's because shit like this further worsens their rep.

**ChowdahRidah** · 10-17-2007, 03:27 PM

This just made my day. This should get permanently posted at the top of Gear Swap so people know what happens when you fuck with mags. Thankfully I've purchased 2 sets of boards on this site with no issues to speak of.

Also MakersTeleMark I like how your Avatar's expression matches your words "Rick Bell of Christy Sports in Vail is a lying fucking douchebag."

Unfortunately the word douchebag seems to summarize Vail more and more a every year. Somewhere it seems they forgot it was a SKI resort and have decided to build a place for douchebags and their douchebag kids to come and be a huge pain in the ass to all non-douchebags.

Wow!!! insult to injury. Sicko just keeps gettin burried deeper and deeper in his lies.

Sick- You were going to give a card for a tune... You work at a shop, just tune them!

Finally a thread like this that ends up just how we all want it to. Buyer gets justice. And no matter what seller says... he can't seem to lie enough to cover his own tracks and ends up looking like the idiot he is. Good show.

Good work Blurred.

**iceman** · 10-17-2007, 03:35 PM

Nice work, Brett.

Fuck you, Sick Rick, you suck.

A couple hundred phone calls over the next few days might make the guy kinda miserable...

**Binky** · 10-17-2007, 03:43 PM

Blurred= IMPRESSIVE WORK!

Sick Dick= fucking retard.

Good work Blurred.

It didn't quite add the way we hoped. Most of us wanted to see an ass whooping

, but glad the skis got out in the end.

SR's excuses were just too stupid to believe. He should be rolling over peeing on himself like a submissive bitch, then maybe the collective will see right with him. Coming back with 'tude is not he appropriate response. This one deserves the DefJef dickhead award.

Hey bro, I'll probably not be able to make it to Loveland until Saturday, but I'll definitely be there then, and I'll bring the skis to you. Would be good to make some turns with you.

I'd also like to state that the manager of this particular store is a top notch good guy, and is in no part a reflection of SR.

I actually used to work for the guy many moons ago, and I have nothing but positive things to say about him.

To everyone else, thanks for the kind words and PMs, I know the maggots would do the same for me in return.
