I have attempted twice to purchase two separate devices from jdc4, once in early 2011 and again this past week.
He posted that he was selling the Nokia N9, and around ten minutes after the post I PM'd him saying I would purchase the phone. He replied quickly, telling me to SMS him.
I replied at once and asked him to set up a time that night to meet, which he ascented to. A couple hours before we were supposed to meet he texted me saying he wouldn't be home in time, and could we move it to tomorrow. I said sure, let's meet up at tomorrow morning. He told me he'd message me in the morning to confirm and I said fine.
The next morning he texted me AGAIN telling me it wouldn't work out and could we do it that evening or the following day. This was the SECOND time he'd done this to me, in the same fashion as the first: yes, let's meet up; sorry, can't meet up tonight, can we do tomorrow; can't do it tomorrow, etc, etc.
And just like the first time, I didn't hear from him after that until I checked the post and found that he'd already sold the phone. I messaged him asking him why he didn't message me to set up the sale and he told me to "Go away," and "Bye." Whenever I tried to message him after that, he either ignored me or told me "Bye," "Go Away," etc. No explanation as to why to reneged on the sale in the first place.
I understand jdc4 did nothing wrong, per se. But he is dishonourable and a bad seller, at least in my eyes. I'd warn anyone from trusting his word, as I went to the trouble of taking out money and changing my arrangements in order to meet up with him, TWICE, and he reneged both times without warning.
To calls that I'm just being a whiny sore loser, fine, perhaps I am. But I have dealt with dozens of cool, honourable, reliable people on RFD, and this guy is the first person to change my opinion.
