Has anyone heard from medic49675 lately? - Page 2

I bought a PA phantom from him recently. He was a little slow to ship (2 weeks), but I've been guilty of the same thing. I remember him saying that his parent's house (and business?) had been seriously damaged in a storm. I think the station where he works may have been damaged too.

It's not an excuse, but it may provide some insight into why he's gone MIA.

I traded him a stab not to long ago and had a problem with his end on shipping. I should have read his feedback on SCP before doing the deal. I am also a paramedic and am currently pulling 100-110 hours a week (summer OT is great). My shipments get delayed once in a while. Knightmare96 will tell you. I ended up giving him a refund. Never more than a week now. He made things right but it took forever. I am a patient guy and didn't mind the wait because I didn't exactly "need" the female stab and ended up selling it anyway. Just my 2 cents. Any delay longer than 2 weeks better have a good excuse. No contact sucks. It's not the way to be. At least keep contact with your buyers.

I didn't know of his sketchy feedback on other forums or I wouldn't have made the purchase. Just because it "usually works out in the end" does not mean it's acceptable to me. How long does it take to get to "the end"? 3 weeks? 6 weeks? 6 months? If shipment of the item was going to take more than a few days, I should have been advised of that long before money changed hands. I pay fast and expect my purchase to be shipped in a reasonable amount of time or to at least receive prompt replies to my attempts at contact when I haven't received my item yet. Some folks may be willing to wait indefinitely but I'm not one of them. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to recover your money so I'm not going to play the waiting game. I hope he gets in touch with me with some solid information like a tracking number soon.......

I purchased a Sterling from Medic and it came quickly with no problems.
Although this thread seems to indicate some negative feedback, he has a thread here with tons of positive feedback.
I hope he can work this out for everyone.

This thread is not the first of its type. I really have to wonder why his feedback thread here does not reflect this.

Because folks list their complaints in threads like this and NOT in his feedback where it should be. I personally have nothing against Medic, and this next part applies across the board - if people aren't leaving feedback in someone's feedback thread, good or bad, then others won't know what to expect when dealing with that person.

i agree with PJ and this should be posted on his feedback thread.

i remember the last time this type of thing happened with medic and a thread like this one was started about him. he finally showed back up on here and the people got the stuff owed to them. that was around the same time a feedback thread had been started and it seemed to me that a lot of people left positive feedback for him. i didn't recognize the peoples names as "MCB regulars" (which doesn't mean much) and IMO it looked like the people left the feedback to help clean up medic's image. i could be wrong but that's the way i saw it.

Exactly as I stated before, leave him feedback in the appropriate forum.

I spoke with him the previous time as did many other Mods and it seemed that was the only thing that was receptive.

This is exactly why I have avoided doing business with him.Nothing personal against him,just don't like dealing with this sort of thing.
