KMAC Mini on Ebay

[hwood34]

Wow... this whole situation is horrible.

Anyways, who tf pays more than $500 for a Mini with blues?

The kind of person who will throw their money at any keyboard that they can call a "korean custom" so that they can fit in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doubly, someone who has literally no concept of the value of any kustoms

[trenzafeeds]

Anyways, who tf pays more than $500 for a Mini with blues?

it's too expensive now... but to be fair the mini is a pretty damn rare keyboard.

I mean, not really especially rare compared to most kustoms

I would buy it for like a bit more than 500 and just desolder if it wasn't JD's. kmac mini is like kinda my dream though.

If JD could prove to PayPal the situation with the board, could somebody buy it and win a claim with PayPal and then send it back to him? I doubt it, but I'm just spit balling ideas here.

It would have to be through Ebay I think

how about everyone just reports the listing ?

I did that right after JD mentioned this was his board.

This is what I suggested to JD. If we just report the listing, all that happens is it gets taken down.

If one of you actually buys the board and then can prove that it's stolen goods or something you may be able to dispute with eBay or PayPal to get your money back.

[riotonthebay]

I would honest be disappointed with eBay if they took down the auction because a mob on an enthusiast forum reported a listing. Quite a slippery slope.

*Maybe* if JD could prove that he's the rightful owner of the board, but I don't even think he can, given that this was a handshake agreement.

knowing ebay they might not even give a f. I was recently scammed by a buyer selling a gift card. I sent proof of delivery, the item being packaged, and I even got a written statement from usps and still they refunded the buyer.

This is exactly how I feel. A little mob on a keyboard enthusiast forum isn't going to do much. The only thing I ever got taken down was a video game flash cart, and that's because a powerhouse like Nintendo complained to online vendors that it promotes piracy.

The best case scenario is someone buys it and gives it to jdcarpe, and then the buyer opens a dispute and hopes for the best.

[ghostjuggernaut]

Anyone interested in crowdfunding this to return to JD?

[sherryton]

Anyone interested in crowdfunding this to return to JD?

Yes I am

[ghostjuggernaut]

I'll happily throw in 50.  Depending on how many ppl we can get I may do more.

[absyrd]

Anyone interested in crowdfunding this to return to JD?

And giving Raccoon all the money? Better to crowdfund a diff one for him if one can be found.

[ghostjuggernaut]

I agree its not ideal. Just a thought.

Yeah I am with absyrd.

As much as I would love to get JD his Mini back, I don't want Raccoon to get ****. I really hope JD by some miracle can get his board back from him though. **** this kid.

[azhdar]

I'll ship in 100$ to get jdcarpe a kmac mini back, not this one tho

[ghostjuggernaut]

Alright. Well my offer stands if we are able to find another.

[romevi]

I might be able to help...a bit. Don't have a fat wallet, but I'd like to pitch in what I can.

[jaffers]

Has anyone even considered that TRG is selling this and then going to give the money to JD?

[whmeltonjr]

Definitely not happening based on the message dgneo received.

[HoffmanMyster]

Has anyone even considered that TRG is selling this and then going to give the money to JD?

Why would he sell something he agreed to return to JD?  JD wants the board, not money.

[GL1TCH3D]

Let's face it, the board would sell in minutes on reddit so Raccoon will get the money one way or another.

If you're going to crowdfund a mini for JD you may as well get his own mini.

But if JD still has some proof of his chatter with Raccoon from back then you could probably file this in small claims or something.


EDIT: another point is that ebay doesn't remove auctions.

Ebay ****ed me over (not the first time) and made it so that nobody could see my listing except people in my province. I set the price low originally with worldwide shipping options. 1 bidder for the entire listing. Asked my US friend to see what was wrong with it and he told me that he couldn't view the page.

I hate ebay.

The worst part is that when I called support they refused to remove the listing because there was already a bid on it.
Meaning that I basically had to tell the buyer that I wouldn't sell it to him under any circumstances.

So who are you referring to exactly? The only members I can think of doing shady stuff are Pac and seth_k. DrHubble's problem wasn't on this level of ****ty, just a lack of direct communication, and even then he still passed off the project to two other competent people. The ratio of bad to good might not be great, but to say "high school students are bad news" is far from the truth

Then again I don't know the exact age of lots of members here, maybe I'm wrong.

The only exception I've seen is billnye *because* I know his age. I wasn't calling out all people who are teens as bad. If I remember correctly, you're a teenager too. Or maybe you're in your early twenties now.

The only other person I recall is sethk, and that's the basis of my slim foundation. There probably are many other leaders whom I didn't know were teenagers, and ran successful buys, and for that only do I rescind my presumption.

I'm still 17. And I guess at this point this more directed towards whentheclouds since he's the one who originally made the sweeping statement, but just because you've seen a couple (literal couple) of examples doesn't mean you should assume anyone of that age is ****ty. Realize that the average age on this forum is probably early to mid-twenties, I'm sure there's a multitude of teenagers here that don't post tons or run GBs that are here for the same reason as you and have had plenty of transactions and such go smoothly.

But again, I'm sure the few, more visible members pulling **** like this don't help the situation.

[hwood34]

Anyone who has bid is, for lack of a better phrase, a ****ing retard. Do you idiots not know how to snipe? Jesus Christ.

did that lil tantrum make you feel better

You can't really deny that most of the time people around here bid like absolute idiots. I guess most people don't know about the mythical "auto-bid."

he's now banned from selling on r/mechmarket. if his ebay listing is reported enough times it will likely be removed and he will be without anywhere to sell it except privately. i reported the listing as Listing Practices > Fraudulent listing activities > You suspect that a listing gis fraudulent (i) The listing has items being sold without the owner's authorization.

PM exchange with TheFlyingRaccoon (01 May 2015): "Hey JD! Really sorry about that, I would be happy to send it back to you if necessary. From what I remember, Bunny gave it to me in a trade. I honestly did not realize it was yours or I owed someone for it. I don't have money to pay for it, in fact I really don't have any extra money right now and I was trying to sell it to buy a phone since my old one is dead. Anyways, let me know what you would like me to do, really sorry about that."

Me: "Yeah, man, I would love to have it back, actually. If you want to desolder the switches, since I sent it to you as a bare kit, that is fine, or I can send you replacement switches, or alternatively some cash for them and your assembly. Sorry to hear about your phone. I understand what it's like to be broke with little income.

If you need my address:

[REDACTED]

Thanks for the quick reply!"

TFR: "Do you want me to include a keyset with it? As a thank you gift. I have a few different sets that work with the layout."

Me: "Nah, bro, you don't have to do that. I have plenty of keycaps, and maybe you can sell the extras you have if you need cash. Thank you for the offer, though. I appreciate that."



PM from me (15 May 2015): "Hey man, I was just wondering if you ever had a chance to ship the KMAC Mini, and if so, do you have a tracking number?"

TFR: "Not yet, I need to get a box that will fit and packing materials. Want to be sure it arrives okay!"

Me: "No problem, thanks for the update. "

TFR: "Hey sorry for the delay, I'll try to get out the KMAC this weekend."

why did bunny trade it if it wasn't his?

Asking the real questions. 

Of course, that's if he didn't misunderstand that it was a loan and not a trade.  Considering the TFR shiftiness with everything else, who knows if we would get the whole truth on the matter.

Speaking of Sherry, have the problems with his past GB order fulfillment issues been addressed?

I see and acknowledge that he has come a long way with his store and provide good customer service, but is GH's memory so short that we have all forgotten about his past GB dealings?

[KnivesM]

Was going to bid but seeing as it's JD's I'll just pass and hope the whole situation gets resolved if Raccoon figures out he can't sell it without fake bids happening on Ebay and a ban on r/mechmarket and GH.

I love the board but with the bad history... ~$700 I won't have to spend though.
