Reggie, if refunding me the cost I sold the unit for is an option please let me know, because at this point, I will never be in phase change ever again and the unit is utterly useless for me. Not to mention I doubt I'll ever see it again.
Actually if you could just respond to any of my pm's or answer your phone when I call I would appreciate it.
reggie,
It's been a while man. When you get a chance please contact me.
I need that mini ss for the Mastercool. Stand alone unit would be fine. I'll take anything at this point.
thanks,
alvin
This is getting more rediculous by the minute. He's still ignoring me.
I'm receiving emails on the regular from him.
Of course, you're sticking up for him, not asking for a refund.
He's ignoring my phone calls, pm's and forum posts. And he HAS been online multiple times since I sent them.
Same here.. regular answers via email...
I've no problem with Reggie, because I know he does all to improve the situation. A refund is bad for all of us customers!
Yeah just got off the phone with him, he was busy trying to find a parking spot at the county building. I guess he just got booted out of his new place that he was setting up as his shop so he's totally miffed. We didn't talk to long because I accidentally hung up on him and didnt call him back because I was driving.
And I have asked for a refund, or my unit. Whichever is fine with me.
Wow! It's really distrubing to hear that things are still not being resolved as we have been promised over, over, and over again. Now, I'm starting to wonder if this defective controller kits issue was an invention, since Ssilencer has been on here pretty regularly advertising that he has working controllers for sale.
It's coming upon 1 year soon that I have been without my Mach 2 GT which I never got to use, my CPU is now pretty much obsolete and I've completely missed out on the AMD dual core craze. So now I am wondering if I'm going to have to go to the lengths that Slimysquid did (i.e. involve the proper authorities) in order to recover my unit.
oops double post
Same here. Next time I'm in CA on business I'll be visiting him with a policeman in tow. That way it doesn't matter if he ignores my phone calls or not.Quote:

Any updates for this lovely Friday morning?
Nope. Same :banana::banana::banana::banana: Different Day.
I wonder if he's aware this constitutes theft. I sent him my unit, he never sent it back.
A year in jail does not sound fun, Reggie.Quote:
For example, California consolidated a variety of common law crimes into theft in 1927, and now distinguishes between two types of theft, grand theft and petty theft.[1] Grand theft generally consists of the theft of something of value over $400 (it can be money, labor or property),[2] while petty theft is the default category for all other thefts.[3] Both are felonies, but grand theft is punishable by a year in jail or prison,[4] while petty theft is punishable by a fine or six months in jail.[5] As for the older crimes of larceny, embezzling, and stealing, any references to them now mean theft instead.[6]
you STILL didn't get your thing :eek: damn
He's not the only one...
But I was contacted by Reggie and we've together decided what's going on with my unit.
...and if you get reggie sent to prison for a year, you'll screw over all the other people who know that there unit is defiently about done.Quote:

People ARE getting their units, abielt slowly, but they are, I doubt they would want to wait another whole year just to get their unit. You'll upset ALOT even further if you got him in prisonQuote:

I'd just like to see a picture of my unit to see what stage of completion it is in. I'm out $1200 and am afraid to ask for a refund in frear of waiting even longer for the money and then see people start getting there units.
I've seen several posts of other phase builders seemingly pumping these things out like hotcakes. Send mine without a controller if that is the hang up.
Worries
Err, computerpro? Reggie lives in Nevada, not California. Why are you quoting Californian law?
Eh brain fart. Good thing you mentioned that, Nevada law is even better.Quote:

I have left him another voicemail message letting him know that if he does not respond in 24 hours the law will be involved. Of course if he pays me back or gives me the unit, all charges will be dropped at once. I don't want to ruin the guys life, I just am not going to be victim of him either.
well then please keep us abreast of what happens either way.
Yea, a picture would do wonders to keep everyone calm. Hopefully we hear something soon. I guess I'm not as irritated because I have yet to invest as much money or time as a lot of you here.Quote:

Yes... I've probably paid the double of computerpro and I've waited as long as he (or longer)...
There are a few people which will be very angry, when computerpro does something that doesn't help to improve the situation. Don't make it harder for all of us.... I know that I would do the same as you when the person with this long delivery time wouldn't be Reggie! But there is another problem -> international law doesn't exists... so I can just hope that I'll get my stuff... maybe sooner or later.. but I'll get it (probably)...
Reggie has called me back. I spoke with him for about 15min. Apparantly my unit was not shipped out because he doesn't know which one was mine. I'm going to send him pics of the unit and and the details about it and he said he will ship it out asap. He sounded sincere and honest. Due to this I will not be taking police action unless this escalates significantly. We will see.
Wow, that sounds like a really lame excuse. I will be be sending Reggie an email shortly requesting the return of my unit and following that up with a call to the LV police department if necessary. I certainly don't care about what anybody on the board thinks of me as I feel that I have been more than patience about this situation. If you want to blame me for doing what only 2 other people here have had the backbone to do then so be it.Quote:

Really who? please tell us who the make beleive people are where are they? When did they get their units why havent they posted? We get one excuse after another and they are getting lamer and lamer he asked us if we had heard from ss about the controlers why is he asking this isnt this part of his job? I think he has basically given up since nobody has taken any action against him he has no reason to actually do something. I say lets all get together and do something about this ourselves.Quote:

So put yourself in his shoes. I had to send my unit back twice because the gas leaked out because I bent a cap tube while changing the condenser fan. It was my fault but reggie said he would fix it in good faith. I'll pay for shipping and extra parts thats fine. don't kick someone when they are down. Reggie is definitely not a criminal. He's just having really bad luck lately. And this talk about going to jail is really ridiculous! I mean really!!! trying to get someone throw in jail because you want to overclock you computer higher?!! hahhahahaha!! Give the man a break!
Well said, trans am. I just talked to him a few hours ago for about 20 minutes and he seems very sincere about getting everyone their product whether it be a new unit or a repair. He has several units completed/near done so things should work out for everyone soon.Quote:

Absolutely not! When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.
To my knowledge, no one on the list of people Reggie owes units to is actually getting paid to overckock their rig and competitively bench it. No one is getting paid to game competitively. We all do this for fun. We do this in our spare time. The worse thing we do is lose a little sleep trying to get to the next level in our favorite game or trying to eek out just a bit more from our rig. Does it suck that we don't have our units? Yes it does. Put yourself in Reggie's shoes for a minute. In the last year life has dealt him a pretty crappy hand. Have a bit of compassion for his situation. Stop with all the hate mail and threats of the police. It will not get your your unit any faster.
As people talk to him, please post here so we can all share in what's going on. If you're hell bent on spreading negative energy, then start your own "Reggie Hatemail" thread. We want to keep this as open as possible so we can hear about what's going on.
Once again, even a general date would be good. If either of you could PM me, I'd like it to be shipped right to my friend when you have one available. Thanks again.Quote:

I had hoped to get new controllers in for the units I have to complete, I Am awaiting the final damaged ones to be returned so that I can ship the 16 controllers I have here to ssilencer for repair I will ask him to rush these so that I can finish these units. I have a few peeps working n a new controller and we will be usinfg that in future units but that is a few months out...
Reggie, did you send the meter ?

Be sure i understant the situation.
I'd appreciate it if youd ship out my unit, which doesn't need a controller, before you do anything else.Quote:

Looking good Reggie. Glad to know that things are starting to look up again in regards to peoples SS's :)
He's making up excuses about not having the money to ship mine out.
This after he told me he doens't pay for shipping (he has a deal where he takes care of AC for the courier and they ship his units).
And when I offer to pay shipping myself he won't accept it.
WTF Reggie???
PM me the address and approx weight, I will make the shipping lable here. No excuses now.
done, thank you.
Keep it clean guys. Fighting isn't going to resolve or help any of this.

With all the respect, that's what to expect when you can't keep your promises! (chilly1) It is unbelievable this! Doesn't do your community any good, hell I don't care about this place.. It's essential in business you can't count on one and other... It has a consequence when can't promise what you say!

He hasn't really thought this through and that's his problem! You can't promise the world if it's not possible for real!Quote:

I do understand some feel sympathy for Chilly1, but this really is going beyond borders. Consider for yourselfs if you think that is normal. I'd say NO!
Can you be more specific and gives names of who received units so we can update this thread? No one has mentioned receiving any coolers.Quote:

$9000 a week :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:

Right, runmc. Things just don't add up. This project was supposed to have been completed months ago. I've gotten The "You'll have it in a couple of days routine" since February. I've offered to pay shipping - even gave him a Pre-Paid FedEX Label initially for return shipping.Quote:

Now, I'm just asking for the cash I paid -- returned -- and he can keep the Vapo LS. It's at least a partial recovery.
As stated earlier, A Real Sad State Of Affairs....
I'm really tired of dealing with this but I won't give up until there is some sort of fair resolution....
And, I think what I have offered, is MORE than FAIR!!!!
I'm really sorry to bring this into a public forum but all other attempts at resolving this have failed miserably.
I have also offered him a pre paid account number. It seems we are in much the situation.
Fugger has graciously sent Reggie yet another pre-paid number. I am giving him until Friday to get it out. If the number is not activley tracking by then, I am taking it to the next step.
I have a meeting with a family member that is a prosecutor for dinner tonight. I am having her draft up an initial letter to Reggie. It will be sent on friday if the tracking number does not become active. By the way, if any of you sent your stuff using USPS it's a federal felony and US Mail fraud as well. Technically the FBI could get involved if anyone wanted to go that far.
i got my unit in the first week of august, am i the only one?
pretty much
Did you sell your unit? Did you ever get it running after you got it?Quote:

I'd think though with his parts business and selling units there'd be more than $4600 in the paypal account.
If we're only talking $4600.00, or a little more as you say, then why is this even an issue? The way I heard it from him, this alleged "Paypal issue" practically put him into bankruptcy.Quote:

Really sad to be treated like this by such a "legend" in the OC'ing community.
Please refund my money and you can keep my Vapo LS (or what's left of it if you still really have it).
that's what concerns me - I fear he sold it or something to help get money and figured he'd re-do it later but now doesn't have the cash again
Well wouldn't that mean all you would have to do would be to check the serial number on the unit? That way you would know if you had a case of theft or not.
I'm one of the people with units mentioned in this thread:
http://xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=117937
I'll keep you posted if I receive it, etc. Please don't clog that thread up.
Chilly said he shipped my 3 head out to me yesterday. And he will get my tracking number soon. So I will keep you guys posted if I get anything from him. :)

Reggie you said I would have tracking number by now....I don't!
damnit reggie...
Sad ain't it? Same ole deal.
"You'll have it in a couple of days."
I had a situation with PCIce (whatever his exact handle is - I don't remember). He was contracted for a build by me (I paid up front) and he didn't deliver for like a month past his promised delivery date. I contacted him and complained and he promptly sent my money back.
I then decided to use you know who. This has been over a year now and no satisfaction
Post edited for content - STEvil
at this point I almost want to press charges purely out of spite
It doesn't matter what he tells... nothing changes...
I won't wait another 1.5 years!
Reggie, I sent you pm regarding the vapoLS I bought of Freecableguy earlier this year, plus the $$$ I sent you for upgrade for I can't even remember what I wanted upgraded now :(. This was back in feb or whenever. I would appreciate if we could get this resoleved amicably.
thx
John
That's what I ment by coming up with excuses. In my eyes you can't possibly help out all these people.. I recon you'll help out the guru's first and leave the rest with empty hands won't ya? I know in such case it's always a story about priorities. Reading this thread any futher gives me an angry feeling.. What are people supposed to think about this? How are they supposed to react eh?Quote:
