Seller: (Use @johnknight
Description of Bad Deal:
Paid for this CCTV bundle on the 17th of september. Told me he could only ship it on the 26th of September. Told him I will pay as soon as it ships then. Got told he has someone going to pay for it now if I don't do it that day. Did instant eft on the 18th. Asked him last week for an update, left me on unread.

@johnknight what's the story here? Why aren't you shipping his goods?

He told me that the bundle was on hold for someone. Then after a while he said I can buy some of the cameras as for the interested party did not want it anymore... Had an agreement, then will be sorted as soon he is back. I even went and source a NVR. Then when he eventually answered ME, he said that the bundle was sold, but he have more cameras and will get back to me. May b something happened to him, Cause till now I have no reply as well.

Was also busy with a POE switch deal that I was supposed to buy from him. Radio silence since the 1st October on WhatsApp but he communicated before that.

Not a bad deal for me as nothing changed hands.

@nicodium PM me with the info you have on him. I also found some things and I'd like to compare notes.

I have had multiple deals with @johnknight, something might just be up his side,
i did message him to come to the party,

I think his rating speaks for itself and yeah, something must be up.

But a response here doesn't take long and will go a long way in clearing the air. Even if he has a tragedy he is dealing with, just post it here and ask for a week or two.

I also suspect something's just wrong. But he's been online, apparently, and that's what bugs me.

Got a whatsapp reply this morning:
"
Hey man.
I hope you are well.
I apologize for only getting back to you now.
Things have been crazy and I do apologise for my poor communication.
I have narrowed the problem down to a faulty NVR of which I will be receiving the replacement tomorrow. I have been assured that the NVR is working perfectly and will then be shipping it off for you on Friday morning.

I do apologise once again for the delay and will have this sorted for you asap.

Glad he's at least responding.

[Nickslayer]

These Bad Deals are similar in court judgements as it shows members what is expected of them and therefore serve as a guide and warning to others on how to handle bad deals etc.

I believe @johnknight should still respond here even if privately sorted out with buyer and state what is up and what happened to clear the air.

 

[Toxxyc]

Yeah look, @johnknight would do good to post here. I'm fairly sure there will be a good explanation for the radio silence, but there's a lot in the air here, and the silence is currently deafening.

Negative rating for this seller from another user last night. Seems to be same MO as this bad deal; might be worth digging a bit.

Did he ship it off on Friday morning?

 

[nicodium]

Havent heard anything yet.

 

[Toxxyc]

@nicodium I'd suggest going to SAPS and making a case against this individual. He doesn't seem like he's willing to come to the party, and there's no communication from his side. Send me a PM with the info and I'll share everything I have on @johnknight.

I'm banning him from Carbonite.

Out of interest. Has he ever paid you back or sent you the stuff?
