Title: Apologies + FML
Post by: Starlight Express on October 17, 2012, 01:58 pm
To my loyal and ever patient customers --

I'm sorry.

I never intended to hold your monies and not deliver.  I had some local sourcing issues (normal dope scene drama), and it had looked like I was going to work past it and come back with my head above water and things humming smooth again.  Then the worst night of my life happened.

My best connection - the guy that had the shit that made sickgirl go crazy - he was back online (or so it appeared).  I gave him all I had to secure all I could of that lovely dope - and he asks for 2 things - hold his shotgun (im not into guns) - and do a favor for a friend.  This friend of is one of those types that needs to be someone else, and is the type of person you don't really want to cross.  He also just did a big job where he knocked off a bunch of merchandise worth close to seven figures.  I am actually quite adept at fake documents, so I start to whip them up.

Little did I know - I was being played.  While I had dude in my apartment, he and his crew were robbing dude of his merchandise from the score he just performed.

Dude gets a call from his partner saying the goods are gone.  He hangs up, freaks out, pulls his gun out, looks square at me and asks if I had something to do with it.  With the shotgun on the desk, and all the appearances of me being in on this robbery - I was sure that I was going to cop it that night.

It just got worse from there, but in the end - I survived - and for helping dude with his needed documents I got a decent new connection.  Thank god my connect immobilized my vehicle to give him a better chance of escape (and totally showing that i was expendable - and not in on the deal).

I need a little time to come back on my feet and recover - i'm out a significant amount of cash and product.  Anyone wronged I will take care of in the end.  I believe in karma, and I will make everyone right.  I never intentionally set out to do anyone dirty.  I enjoyed the service I provided, and I love taking care of customers.  This BS just comes with the territory - you pay me to deal with it, and thats how I earn my monies.

Anyway - listings will be back up shortly - get ahold of me via PM or tormail and I'll work stuff out with ya.  Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Good on ya SE for facing the music. Sometimes shit does happen but it's how you rectify the problems that will count most and stick in a buyer's minds. It would of been easier for you to start fresh with a new account but as proven by MIMM, a vendor can make a successful comeback and make things right. All the best and are you still going to be looking at shipping to Aust. any time in the future? :)

Awesome story, we have to make a book with a collection of sellers experiences IRL and online.

Hope it all works out!
