warning: do not do business with Austin M

I understand that you are upset i have taken photos of the sponge and rubber upon your request and givin them to you. tenergy does have shrinkage i used rubber cement. and i have advertised that the sponge has some damage. the rubber was advertised as 80 percent(this can be an opinion which is why photos were provided to make sure that you were happy) according to us law i have not commited mail fraud because i have givin you everything you have asked for. i dont mind that you put this but dont crowd up the for sale forum area.

If the sponge has some damage then you should have taken a picture of it. Also percentages say nothing, how do you come to this number? Better tell the hours of play when selling a rubber. Clearly the buyer was expecting something he did not get, so the product description wasn't clear enough. 

based on what I've read/seen Austin's posts, I'm pretty observant as I've been here long enuf to know to avoid dealing w/ ppl like him. 

It seems that everyone wants to shut Austin down. Let him have a chance to explain before people are jumping in. By the way, how much is the rubber purchased? Depend on the price, the condition need to be equivalent. If the price is $10, then don't expect it to be perfect.

As we are here far away from each other in most cases,it is
practically impossible to see all and everything.If a buyer isn't finding some stuff in the same condition as was mentioned in seller's add,buyers should be able to have his/her money refunded and sellers get their stuff back asap.some people just can't be trusted,and i don't mean to be offending Austin,it is just these issues have come up over and over again.Unless sellers provide fair description and adequate quality pics,then buying from them should be avoided at all.In this case seller should have accepted the rubber back and returned the money.I have been in similar situation and I perfectly understand the buyer.If you can't/don't want to provide accurate description and mail out stuff that is n't satisfactory to your buyer,accept that fact that you can't be trusted,and chances are people will not deal with you anymore.It doesn't matter how much you pay-10$ or 100$ for something.I see no useful purpose for participating in this anymore,but I am aware of the problem and will continue to monitor this thread.I think of MODS at this forum as they have been often there to correct problems,but in some instances,more could be done to limit others from potential cheats who come here at mytt.

sadly this is not a surprise..... i've been warning everyone about austin for a while now, but i guess not everyone has taken me seriously. sorry you had to find out the hard way. he gets almost all of his items used from others, then he uses them for a few weeks and advertises them as only used for a few hours or with 80% left.... don't believe a word he says

Yes, that one is true. Blade was used before but he said brand new and he said sorry that he didn't know before. 

Hey guys! Are you fighting for a $ 20.00. It is not a big money if you are selling even for $ 40.00 or more. Customer always right. Seller need to be friendly, and make buyers happy with his products. 

and i have the no refund policy ^_^. nothing against that...i offered a return for something diffrent no cash.and for two reasons...

austin it isn't the buyer's fault you don't have $20 to refund him.....
a no refund policy is fine, but when an item is falsely represented it is your obligation to issue a full refund as the seller, no questions asked. if you don't like the idea of this, stop posting stuff for sale on the forum, where you don't have to pay fees.

you would get destroyed on ebay for this type of behavior....

On the ground that the promised rubber thickness is not the same as the one that is send, is reason enough for a full refund(deceit/fraud). If refund is still not provided, let this be a $20 lesson that everybody in this forum will /should not deal with Austin in any kind of dealings from now on.
Austin, I hope you do the right thing, be honorable, give the man a full refund as soon as you can get the money (perhaps borrow from your parents first). It's not a good habit to start destroying your character and credibility at such a young age, it might haunt/harm you in later endevours!

The thing is, some people take longer to grow up than others, and some never do.

Austin, I hope you learn to grow up in life sooner than later.

Hey guys if you want we could all buy the rubber back from cqluu.
We choose somebody to test the rubber (JimT would you like to be the one?); then cqluu sends him/her the rubber and we all paypal something to the tester so (s)he gets his/her money back (at first the tester paypal the $20 to cqluu). Then the decision of the tester is final: Austin was a crook or all this vent is exagerated.
Who wants to participate? who wants to be the tester?
I put $2 in.
Now let's the fun begin.

its looks like FATT its on AUSTIN's side

while i applaud your altruistic motive, i wonder if such exploit undermine the integrity of the 'for sale' forum (and other forums). such exercise will only attract more disruptive and juvenile behavior which I (and I gather others too) frankly can do away with. it is unfair to burden other people with someone else's muddle - there is such a thing called 'responsibility.' and the sooner he realize this, the sooner he'll be better off (in this forum and in real life).

with all due respect, of course.
