Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I think it might be quite an "eye-opener" to research some of the BOI threads. I can personally remember quite a few cases/situations where the buyer was promised a refund, a check was sent, and it BOUNCED.
Usually, if I am remembering correctly, this strategy was (imo) usually used to "buy time." When the check bounced...more excuses were made, another check wrote...etc...and etc... it's an old dodge.
It usually gave the seller an opportunity to make more sales when potential customers saw that the seller seemed to be "becoming more Customer Service savvy." The situations for the new customers did not always end well either.

Lastly you know I also have a long history of taking the least popular side of an issue to advance a conversation. On many occasions I've sided with you over hybridization issues when your combative style made you a very hard person to defend or sympathize with.

i have certainly NOT discounted you or anyones experience(s) with jerry kruse nor have i killed any of jerrys "messengers" i have no need to.
like i said this isnt about "sides" tony its about right and wrong and what your friend did and how he chose to handle this whole mess was/is wrong and anyone can see that.
so the truth is combative huh? i need not you or anyones sympathy or defense when it comes to my opinions/issues over hybrids or really any thing, see im a big boy that can handle himself just fine, and will stand on the merit of truth and honesty with nothing to fear or hide... but thanks anyway
and no i dont/wont back down ESPECIALLY when fundementally i feel its about RIGHT and WRONG which is what this whole thread here is about, bottom line and thats also why since my first post that ive said over and over again it is ashamed it was brought here in the first place, and had jerry handled his "business" it never would have here for all to see FOREVER.
not only did jerry and his supporters concerning this deal step in "it" they slipped fell down rolled around and have wallowed in "it".
there simply is no defense to jerry and his supporters in this thread, just like there is no defense needed for getting personal in a business transaction.
in the end i feel jerry is good as he did refund stu ... "but" at what cost!
see its all VERY telling for anyone looking/searching. now would i do business with jerry after this thread/deal.... without a doubt i can assure you the answer is NO! would I say jerry is a bad guy not to be trusted? same answer... NO i would not.
would i advise anyone considering doing business with jerry kruse to read this thread and decide for themselves? absolutely... YES

It's all down to one part of the total left. Why do you think the last little part would not be given at this point? If it was the whole amount on this one post dated check I would understand, it is not though.

I do not THINK it would not. I am simply saying that EXPERIENCE has taught some of us not to "Count our chickens before they have hatched."

I am with Deb on this. Time will tell. Either way, it has taken way longer than it needed to, and the sending of a post-dated check on the 31st was, in my opinion, a final 'slap in the face' to Stu (Stew to Jerry).

Absolutely no spinning. I didn't comment if I was in agreement with the comments or not. I simply stated he didn't attack the man's family as someone else stated and that is a FACT, Steve. But since you brought it up, there was nothing negative at all about the " family" in that post and several of you went overboard in your reaction to it.
Matter of fact, I pretty much stated the exact same thing in another thread on here. I stated to Mr. Wise who stole the funds that were donated to the children and wife of a member of this site that passed away that I hope one day his children finds the thread and reads what he has done. I meant it and wouldn't change a word.
Obviously, this is a different situation. One can agree or not agree that it wasn't right for someone state that "your kid might read this someday" but that isn't a overly harsh statement and you and others are absolutely ridiculous to make such a big deal about it.
My personal opinion of Jerry from what I have learned as this transaction has progressed here is that Jerry is untrustworthy and a liar. If I thought that his actions might be honest, I might mention, " Hey, you sure you want to do that? Someone might read this one day." I'd do it. Let's just wait and see if Stu gets all his funds back first.

For my part, I'm not overly worried about the last check bouncing (though that is a possibility, especially if Stu tryouts to cash it early - there really is no requirement for him to hold it until the date Jerry designated). While I agree that the post dated check, at this point, after all the promises, was little more than slap in the face for Stu, my issue is that if Jerry's self-admitted attitude/temper kicks in he could stop payment on the check and leave Stu hanging. Maybe he sent the two checks because he legitimately didn't have the funds (which calls attention to his inside insistence that Stu would have payment in full by the end of the month, which didn't happen no matter how you slice it), but maybe...just maybe...he did it for another reason.

So its possible he might have, maybe, could have a temper flare and cancel the check? What would cause him to maybe, might, possibly do something like that now? There is no person on a Internet site that's going to make a bad guy do anything. Only a good guy gives a refund when it is due, that's not a time frame, it's when someone deserves it. Have you ever had paypal make a mistake and tell them you want your money right now?

You can defend him as much as you want, we have different opinions...possibly based on different information. I'm not trying to dissuade you, I could care less if you support, or buy from, Jerry. By the same token, your protestations that he is a good guy because - no matter what else - he gave a refund fall flat with many of us.
I've never dealt with Jerry, and I don't know whether you have....my only information on him, and how he deals with issues, is what I have seen in this thread. Again, maybe it is just that I have seen things that you haven't, but we've looked at the same thread and have different opinions. I'm okay with that

That's a non-sequiter. Paypal didn't promise Stu he'd be paid by the end of the month; Jerry did. The check was postmarked on the 31st, but Stu sure as heck didn't have the money like Jerry gave his word that he would.
