Bad Guy Chris Guarino cguarino30 Horrible ethic

[Fangthane]

Dan,
You keep saying this over and over, that the melted spot and the need to clean the units are not a problem for you, but the missing cords are. So why keep bringing up the dirt and melted spot? Why take and post these pictures? These issues are either part of the problem or you need to drop it. Continuing to harp on what you claim are non issues creates mixed messages, and if the cords and heat tape really are the only problem, then what is your reason for continuing here since he has shipped you those parts, much less keep bring up those non issues, non by your own admission?

While they many not be THE issue, why can't it still be AN issue that someone feels is worth mentioning? It's suddenly not a good idea to back up one's claims, with whatever evidence one has available?

Let's pretend this trade was for a snake, instead of racks. Guy delivers the snake, and upon inspection, it's found to be slightly scarred, and crawling with mites. Recipient doesn't notice, until later that day, that it's also got a URI. There are some that feel that mites aren't a big problem, as they're fairly easy to get rid of. And maybe the scarring is minor enough that it's not a big deal to him. Does that mean that he shouldn't bother getting pictures to show that they're present, while making his case for what he feels is the main issue: The URI?

Discouraging someone from presenting what he feels is relevant, just doesn't seem to be what the BOI is all about. Yes, he was impatient and didn't handle this in the best possible way, but since he put himself in a position of taking the offensive, he should at least be able to present his evidence without being attacked for that simple act.

Let's pretend this trade was for a snake, instead of racks.

Not a valid comparison, IMO. These are issues that affect the health of a living thing, which is vastly different from blemishes from heat, dirt and missing cords on a rack.

The OP himself said that these things were not issues, Dan, and yet he keeps bringing them up as if they were. Evidence that addresses the OP's complaints is valid, but any evidence just to have evidence of something is not, imo.

It's only different if you choose to see it as such. While there may be different standard involved, when dealing with a live animal, I believe it's essentially very similiar. It all amounts to expecting to receive one thing, and ending with something different.

The OP himself said that these things were not issues, Dan, and yet he keeps bringing them up as if they were. Evidence that addresses the OP's complaints is valid, but any evidence just to have evidence of something is not, imo.

Whether or not you, or the OP think that his pictures amount to a kill-shot, it's foolish to think that they've done anything to add to his overall satisfaction with the deal. Again, while they may not be THE issue, they're obviously some part of the overall problem. Wanting to put the kibosh on someone supporting his contentions, serves no purpose.

Dan, it has nothing to do with my opinion on the deal at all. Call me a fool all you want, but my opinion is based on what the OP has said himself, which in my mind, negates the pictures and what they are posted to show. He himself, negates their effectiveness as evidence with these statements:

Melted but functional. ok by me used cages and all. I use quality thermostats so no worries.

But most importantly, I dont mind a mess to clean. these racks new arent cheap and i forgive the melted issue.

This, to me, is the OP's real reason for continuing this thread

i mind being made for a fool.

 

[cguarino30]

I just have to put in my two cents as well. WHY IS THIS ON BOI? threw all of these post I dont see one stop where chris told this guy to piss off. He has bin trying to work with dan from the begining. Which not for nothing is the best way to handle this situation. that is what I would want from anyone i trade with if there is a problem lets figure it out. Not scream and yell. I personal have bin dealing with chis for years and I can say I have do tens of thousands of dollars with him. NOT ONE PROBLEM TO DATE. but again i know if there was a problem we can work it out. That is GOOD Buisness. and as for DAN next time breath and act like a gentlemen. If he does not answer your text or emails or phone calls (which we all have had to deal with from other people at one point is out lives) then get mad, then scream, then open a BOI not when they guy is trying to fix it. any one ever wants input on what kind of stand up guy Chris is PM me.

Thank you, TJ. I really appreciate it. I'd like to think I make an effort to do above-board business.

Oh, I'm definitely picking up what you're putting out, I just happen to think it's nonsense. Also, in recognition of the fact that what doesn't matter to you, may matter to someone else; AGAIN, I reiterate, that while it may not be his main problem, he clearly doesn't believe that he should have to clean up another's mess. Which may also mean something to someone reading this thread, when considering a transaction.

In and of itself, it may have been a petty thing to focus on. However, there are other, more important, problems that the OP feels he had with this transaction, which all seem to be part of a cumulative effect. Others may agree with him, and may take it into future consideration. Or maybe they'll see him as being purely unreasonable. That's part of the beauty of the BOI. Each party has the right to present their cases, and let the peanut gallery come to their own conclusions. Thus, while you choose to see his evidence as petty or irrelevant, someone else may find it meaningful. Taking someone to task, for simply backing up what they say, is "foolish", and goes against a premise of what the BOI is here for. In my most humble opinion.

The point here is not that he has a problem with these issues. The point is that when I was there, he said everything was ok. After I leave, he says he's upset because there are missing parts. I replace the parts, and how he says he's upset because of the condition of the racks. Dan is clearly just an angry, paranoid person with emotional issues who on some level just wants to be angry. I have done everything I can to make him happy, and he only gets angrier. He never aknowledges anything I do to his satisfaction.

We agree to meet in the middle and I consent.

Then he asks if I can drive 4 hours out of my way to meet him for $50. I agree to this, and we make the trade. When I left we shook hands and as far as I knew we were both satisfied with the transaction. In my opinion, I was not obligated to do anything after this point.

Then after I leave he decides he wants $30 back.

I tell him I have to go home and look for the parts, and he agrees.

Then he starts harassing me again and says he wants to trade back.

I ask him again if he can't wait until Sunday, and he says he will.

Then he goes to the BOI and starts a negative thread about me in which he not only expresses his dissatisfaction with the trade, but CALLS INTO QUESTION MY CHARACTER, ACCUSES ME OF LYING, ACCUSES ME OF MISTREATING MY ANIMALS, and any number of other COMPLETELY INEXCUSABLE actions.

I go out of my way to get him parts from a local friend (I still have not even been home yet) and ship them to him at my expense. According to his original post, he now has everything he wanted and then some.

Any rational person at this point would be finished, but Dan instead completely ignores what I've done for him and takes this opportunity to start a brand new series of complaints.

All I can say at this point is that I have gone ABOVE AND BEYOND on a trade where I made out with less than half value. I have done it all in the interest of being an honest person and a trustworthy member of the community. I AM DONE. I will continue to post, and am happy to respond to anyone's comments or questions, but Dan, you've gotten everything from me that you ever will. Don't bother asking me for another thing as long as you live.

Chris, are you valuing the EOtech at $150?

Regarding the text in bold, refresh my memory, what is it called when someone says something that turns out not to be true? In my eyes, my quoted statement could apply to either of you. Either one of you could be "him", depending on perspective. All I'm saying. Best of luck to both of you.

 

[cguarino30]

Chris, are you valuing the EOtech at $150?

I should clarify. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I value the Eotech at $300, which is what they sell for on ebay in good but used condition.

When I say he made out double, I do not mean that he would have had to pay me $600 in cash for the trade. I am saying that I was selling those items for well under what they were worth. These racks sell for $450 new, that's $1350 for three of them. The ones I was selling were obviously not in new condition, but in good, working condition, as I stated. They may have been dirty (which I never claimed otherwise) and they had some minor issues like a couple of tubs that stick when pulled out (something I was careful to be upfront about)

But even in their current condition, I think it is hard to say that they were not worth at least half of new value, considering that the truly valuable part of the rack is the PVC, and aside from some minor discoloration, the PVC was all completely fine. The bins too were fine, the only part of the racks that was of significant issue to the OP was the heat setup, which, as many people have already said, was easily the least expensive and least consequential factor.

When I say he made out double, what I am saying is that he got something that he could, in all likelihood, resell at twice what he gave for it. I certainly did not set out to rip anyone off by driving 4 hours out of my way for less than the cost of gas, just to receive $300 in trade value for 3 racks that would have cost well north of $1000 to buy new. There are certainly some factors here that make these racks worth much less than new, but in my opinion, the OP still got a fantastic deal.

The reason I bring it up, is not because I think that getting a good deal means you should have to put up with getting less than you thought.

I want to say it twice, just in case anyone misread. Getting a good deal DOES NOT mean you should just accept getting less than what you wanted.

I bring it up because of the accusation of fraud. The OP has repeatedly accused me of intentionally misrepresenting the facts in order to trick him into making this trade. This is what I find ludicrous, and it is my best defense against his allegations.

I challenge anyone here to say that they would knowingly defraud a person over less than $30 worth of heat hardware in order to get them to trade a $300 used items for 3 PVC racks, then drive 4 hours out of their way, accept less than what the gas on those 4 hours cost without complaint, and THEN spend 3 hours texting and 4 days on the BOI trying to make it right. All as part of some elaborate plot to trick a person into accepting these racks without the minor hardware.

Even the OP admits that this small of a detraction from value would not have caused him to back out of the deal, had he known in advance. Even if I were the kind of person who tried to rip people off (which I think I have already proven I am not by replacing the items, and by the testimony of someone else on here who has done business with me, WHY ON EARTH WOULD I GO TO ALL THIS TROUBLE JUST TO PULL OFF A RIPOFF OVER THIS SMALL OF A DIFFERENCE?

I've wasted far more than the $10-$30 value of these parts just in my time alone. Does anyone honestly believe I could have done it as an intentional con?

 

[Haifisch]

for those of you who read my posts thoroughly thank you.

I point out the the extrapolations, made against me as if I had lied about anything.

he says those racks are $450 new that is inaccurate. Boaphile sells 12 tub units for $450 not the 4 tub units that these are.

look on thier web site.

I might also point out it was less then 10 minutes after he left not a half hour, know he didnt have his garage in tow nor the heat. I figured the easiest solution was just to get the money for the heat that he said was there.

The reason I became irritated so quickly was when he claimed that if he didnt find the heat components "we would have to accept mutual disappointment".

who among you finds that acceptable business practice?

that is not what I call integrity.

You say im harping about things that dont matter. the man said they were just discolored. the bottom looked like it was in a fire. the exaggeration of the facts is what i am trying to show. while chris makes me out to be a villain here.

 

[cguarino30]

he says those racks are $450 new that is inaccurate. Boaphile sells 12 tub units for $450 not the 4 tub units that these are.

I never said that. I was using your own quote. I never bothered to look them up. I was assuming you were correct:

the new versions of those racks are 450 New un melted and clean .

I might also point out it was less then 10 minutes after he left not a half hour, know he didnt have his garage in tow nor the heat. I figured the easiest solution was just to get the money for the heat that he said was there.

It would only have been an easy solution for YOU. I still would have had to pay $30 more for my own gas, just to have done you the favor of driving 4 hours out of my way. You also did not SUGGEST $30, you did not REQUEST $30, you did not NEGOTIATE $30. You DEMANDED $30. You informed me, after I had left, and when I had no way of verifying the truth of your claims, that I now OWED you $30.

In addition, if this had turned out that I HAD made some sort of mistake, I would now have bought back the heat for this rack for $30, and would have been stuck with it. That wouldn't have been easy at all.

I have a question for you. If you wanted the EASIEST solution, as you have claimed multiple times, why have you been so vehemently against simply waiting until I get home, finding the heat, and mailing it to you? wouldn't that have been easiest for everyone?

The reason I became irritated so quickly was when he claimed that if he didnt find the heat components "we would have to accept mutual disappointment"./QUOTE]

The ONLY reason that you would have to accept the situation, is that you waited until after we had shaken hands, after you had your opportunity to inspect, after I had left, and after I could have verified any information to tell me that you wanted more. I have no way of being sure that you don't have the heat right now, except in the case where I come home and find it lying there.

THAT is why I said you would have to accept it, because I am 100% sure that they had heat last week. I am 100% sure that they have only been in one place for that week, and I am 100% sure that I did not alter them in any way before dropping them off at your home. As far as I'm concerned, I shouldn't be expected to trust you any more than you have trusted me. If I come home and find them, I know you don't have them. If I come home and they are not there, I am forced to assume you do have them.

 

[cguarino30]

Furthermore, I am starting to believe more and more that this whole thing is just a scam on your end. Think about it:

You wait until I leave and can no longer verify the parts, then demand that I give you $30 cash. Not the heat, not buy you new heat. $30 cash.

When I say I can't do that, you flip out and go on the super-aggressive.

I tell you I will go home and look for it, and if I find it, I will send it to you.

For some reason, this is not good enough. Is it because you already know I won't find the heat at home?

You agree multiple times that it's only fair that I go home and check, then renew your attack all over again, complete with threats of the BOI and a veiled reference to us "discussing it in person" at night, in a hotel parking lot.

Even after finally accepting that I go home and check it out, you start this BOI thread, misrepresent the communications that we had, bring up all kinds of other problems that you say there were, and make WILD accusations, not only about this transaction in particular, but about the care of my animals and my character in general.

I have done business with DOZENS of people on this website, none have ever made a complaint, whereas this is, by your own admission, the first time you have ever made a transaction.

Even AFTER I get you new parts from a friend and ship them to you at my own expense, you completely ignore the issue and BEGIN YOUR ATTACK ANEW ON GROUNDS THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY SAID DID NOT MATTER TO YOU.

I'm not an expert on scam artists, but I have to say, from a logical, third party perspective:

Who really looks like the scam artist here?

The person for whom all of the above statements are TRUE FACTS

OR

The guy who drove 4 hours out of his way at less than gas cost to make a used for used trade and somehow possibly forgot one set of heat tape, then rushed to make ammends at his own cost, continued to communicate with you, and continued to answer wild accusations and insults on this BOI?

I think he probably meant $450 total instead of $450 each. Either way I'm glad you sent the missing parts.

 

[cguarino30]

I think he probably meant $450 total instead of $450 each.

That may very well be. I had no intention of misrepresenting any information. I must have simply misunderstood him. My real point was that it's not like I made some big score here that would justify the accusation of fraud. It's not like I bought anything with counterfeit bills or threw rocks in a sack and pretended it was a ball python. Who would commit fraud over $10 worth of heat tape?

Either way I'm glad you sent the missing parts.

As you say though, with the missing parts sent, it's all kind of moot, right? Makes you wonder why Dan is still attacking me. I guess we will know for sure when I get home tomorrow.

It's my opinion that you did not intentionally leave anything off the racks. Yes, it does kind of seem like a lot of hostility for nothing now.

 

[cguarino30]

It's my opinion that you did not intentionally leave anything off the racks. Yes, it does kind of seem like a lot of hostility for nothing now.

In my opinion, it was already a lot of hostility for nothing. I could see him being disappointed, or upset, or even a little annoyed. But he's clearly ENRAGED. And if you look at the timestamps, he opened up this BOI within hours of the trade, even after having agreed to wait until I got home.

 

[Haifisch]

frankly I am not enraged as you put it.

I just expected you to do to honest business.

you say the eotech is valued @ 300 your asking price for all 3 racks was? thats right 300. (look at the ad in post #1)

then you state they were worth 1300. if that were true you made a silly trade.

honest mistake, id buy that if you didnt state i may have to accept disappointment.

even that MIGHT be ok if you said, there might be functional heat IDK. you didnt did you?

what did you say chris? "they are good i checked"

for those who see no wrong on chris' part, no worries I have given accurate accounts of my dealings with Chirs Guarino. Take it for what its worth.

I make no excuses for being blunt with him as I dont see mutual disappointment as an acceptable business practice.

Thus why I make no apologies. Chris stated i was harassing him, I felt that if he felt that way it would be best to leave him be so not to cause him to feel uneasy. after all it is difficult to interpret tone via text especially when i hardly use punctuation.

I did offer to trade back he didnt give the address to where to go. if he felt he was given a raw deal why not trade back when the offer was made?

I may initially come across gruff not by intent. I was not blessed with diplomacy.

chris claimed he sent the cords and the heat tape that was missing, I did mention on an earlier post regarding this matter if he came across them or whatever to keep the items, before he sent anything.

Ok lastly, If you make a trade and the other person says x isnt there, would you tell them they may to accept disappointment?

thats why I said HORRIBLE ethic.
I for one am moving on, with no regrets, & for darn sure no apologies .

Thank you for reading

 

[cguarino30]

I'm not even going to engage most of this drivel for reasons I will get into later, but one point I just have to bring up

chris claimed he sent the cords and the heat tape that was missing, I did mention on an earlier post regarding this matter if he came across them or whatever to keep the items, before he sent anything.

Simply not true. Feel free to go back and look. You told me to keep them AFTER I sent them out.

Bottom line: I call out your scam, and now you have a sudden urge to be "moving on"

I'm not going to find that heat tape when I get home, am I?

I have two consolations

1) I had the presence of mind not to give you any of the money back, which is what you clearly wanted, and

2) It does come as somewhat of a relief that this whole thing was a scam to get near-free delivery, because for a minute there, I seriously believed that you were THIS ANGRY about waiting three days for a missing length of heat tape. I was honestly starting to become concerned for my safety. It's nice to know that my time and money were all you were after.

 

[cguarino30]

Got home today and went looking for the heat tape. I am doing this mostly out of curiosity at this point, since I've already obtained and mailed new components at my own cost (3 hours BEFORE Dan decided he didn't want them).

As most of us probably already expected, I was unable to find it. The heat tape was not where the racks were, and I even went so far as to check the rest of the garage and even the car, just to be sure.

Here is a summary of the FACTS (no opinions or perceptions, just the known, proven facts)

1) The agreement that we both came to was that I would trade 3 PVC racks, made by Boamaster, in used but working condition, complete with heat, and he would trade a used Eotech 512 in like new condition. The trade was originally to go down in a town in NJ, and later renegotiated to be delivered to Dan's home, which was 2 hours further away, and in exchange for the delivery, I was to receive $50 in cash to cover gas.

2) Trade deal goes down on Thursday, August 23 at 3:30 pm, and when I leave, both parties admit to being satisfied

3) 10 minutes after I leave, Dan claims that parts are missing and demands $30 in cash

4) I say I will go home and look for the missing parts, but that I refuse to give back the money as it was agreed as the charge for delivery, not as part of the trade.

5) Dan responds with hostility and aggression, including threats of the BOI, threats to come "discuss" it with me "in person" but also Dan agrees to wait no less than three times between bouts of hostility.

6) Finally, Dan says he will wait until Monday.

7) Dan opens a BG thread on me within 2 HOURS of having said he would wait 3 days.

8) Dan misrepresents communications that we had, and in addition to expressing dissatisfaction with the trade, also makes accusations that he can not back up including:

-That I lied about testing the racks
-That I intentionally sabotaged the racks (reasons never given as to why I would do this)
-That I mistreat my animals
-That I'm lying when I say I will look for the components when I get home
-That I am lazy

9) Throughout the thread, many people agree about the following:

-that Dan should have checked the racks more thoroughly in my presence
-that Dan should have waited until I got home and looked for the parts to start a BOI thread
-that the $50 cash was for the delivery, and therefore was not a reasonable demand
-that once new parts were procured, that Dan no longer had reason for complaint

10) Furthermore, another member of the forum comes forward and claims to have done $10,000+ worth of business with me over a period of years with no complaints

11) The day after the trade, I ask a local friend for help and he agrees to give me the missing components so that I can send them to Dan.

12) At 12:24 (time proven by receipt picture available on page 4 of this thread) I ship these parts to Dan at my own cost.

13) At 2:23 I post on this thread that I have procured replacement parts (2 days ahead of schedule) and that I have shipped them to Dan at my own expense.

14) At 3:23 Dan says he no longer wants the missing parts and that I can keep them

15) At this point, Dan no longer mentions the missing parts and begins to make complaints about the condition of the racks. He mentions that they are dirty and melted, and renews his attacks on my character

16) Saturday night, I accuse Dan of trying to scam me out of extra cash for reasons that are outlined in my post from August 25 at 9:05 pm.

17) Dan's final response is to claim he told me that he no longer wanted the parts BEFORE I obtained and sent them (proven incorrect by the timestamps on the thread) and says he wants to be "moving on"

Sunday Morning: When I arrive home, I look in my garage for the missing components and can not find them.

I will not put forth any opinions or make any claims in this post. I am simply stating the facts. Everything that I have said in this post can be referenced to a part of this thread. I invite any party interested in doing business with me to contact me (or by his generous offer, TJ, the gentleman who came forward to claim a good business relationship with me) and ask any questions they would like, and invite anyone reading this thread to draw their own conclusions about my character and about the way I do business.
