O2 amp Australian parts GB

[dontdiewondering]

Glad you got the stuff moonshad0w.
I got a finally got a reply from BF asking for my bank details and that was a week ago with no reply or anything into the account...
Still yet to get the amp working. Put it away until I get some motivation.

This is an email I got 4 days ago from BF:

"Hiya - sorry, haven't forgotten about you but I should have got back to you sooner. Things are a bit complicated right now as I've just finished a lot of work for festival season - i'm about to get paid any day now which will put us well in the clear; I'll include a contribution for your efforts and for the extended delay in getting this back to you!"

No money in the bank yet and "US well in the clear" - WTF!!

I have no idea what to say other than it must be a peaceful place being that deluded.

I thought he said weeks ago he was rolling in cash like scrooge mcduck and just couldn't wait to throw some of it to you but had the 'phone problems' ... now its 'any day now' ...

These festival seasons must come with some sort of alternate reality ...

 

[coolhead]

DDW, if you know his pattern, "any day now..." could means a lot of days.
I don't know how it should be done over there, since you know where he stay and his contact, supporting email and SMS why not report it to authority? People like him should be taught a good lesson.
Only if you don't mind the trouble.

i think thats kinda the point =)

Ah.. ya! dah! the "festive season" is known as a time where all kind of substances are very common... however I doubt BF requires any such external help 😎

 

[dontdiewondering]

Noting the date but it is after 1200, still no money or contact from BF... Does anyone know the minimum amount for small claims? He still owes me $260

 

[MoonShad0w]

If the minimum is under that, and if I can find out how much he collected in total from the sale of panels I machined, I probably also have a case against him.

 

[sofaspud]

I would guess that the de facto minimum for small claims is the amount of the filing fee.

 

[fordgtlover]

I don't believe that there is a minimum:
Arts Law : Debt recovery ? small claims procedure (SA)

It might be cheaper and quicker to get these guys to pay him a visit:
South Australian Debt Recovery

 

[dontdiewondering]

Bugger me if he hasn't paid the money, so much for the "extra to cover all the work" but at least I'm close enough to even to consider it all finished. Hope all are well and here's to the next project!

 

[hochopeper]

Great news!

Now did you ever get a chance to get your own O2 running?

 

[fordgtlover]

Good stuff. And yes, how did you end up with your build.

Is there anything we collectively need to do for you?

 

[dontdiewondering]

Haven't touched it for a few weeks, yet to sort out the dc offset issue.
Moonshad0w - are you owed anything? Hit up BF while you can and he seems to have some $$

 

[MoonShad0w]

Yeah, I still don't have my kit. I'll ask him about it again when I get home.

 

[dontdiewondering]

Really?? Cheeky bugger, so you have the pcbs and the enclosure but no components? If you haven't heard anything by Tuesday I'll drive to his place and get it one way or the other... Enough is enough

 

[sashaw]

I had busy few weeks. Just login, I can't believe this is still not over.

 

[MoonShad0w]

I have the PCB and enclosures from you, nothing at all from him. He said he sent it a few weeks ago, but I'm not inclined to believe that. I was considering getting his phone number from a friend and bombing it until he caves and ships it express, but I'm not really angry enough to do that 😛

 

[qusp]

man I would be, you are a bigger man than I, I would have gotten medieval on him months ago

 

[dontdiewondering]

I have his address if you want it and his mobile number that I can PM if you want it.
