One of our members works there. I'm quite torn.

PM the member give him the opportunity to correct everything and if that fails let it all fall out. If he corrects it let the masses know he did so and The End.

If you're still unable to get these in a bit, Scott, let me know and I can hook you up. They're everywhere around these parts...

That sucks, Scott. I remember you making the post almost two weeks ago stating that you just made this purchase. It sucks even worse when it's a purchase that you get really excited over.

They may be a perfectly respectable vendor and I support your decision not to name names but, advertising that you have something in stock when you don't is just bad business. If it was an honest inventory mistake, just admit to it and move on. Being shady or not forthcoming with info only makes the situation worse.

There is an argument to be made for naming names however. A few months ago a certain (former) member of this board was d*cking people around on trades. He got away with it for a while too because none of us wanted to call him out in front of everybody.

I say keep it out of the papers unless you think they're doing this to all their customers.

That makes the situation much more difficult. I understand your concern.
