Cloud 9 customers beware

[species0113]

Can someone tell me how this guy is allowed to advertise on this site. He is kicked off the other forums and now I know why. I got an anonymous pm from someone wanting to sell me an ARC-2 ignition that I had advertised I was looking for. After telling him no because I could not be sure he was legit, he then told me who he was. It was goldenchild. I never had any dealings with him but iv'e seen his name in chat for a while. He offered me a brand new ARC-2 for $50 cheaper then Schnitz and also said it was immediately available. I jumped at it. First off, it had been used. fittings and wires covered with marks. instructions were almost worn out, ripped and torn with greasy fingerprints. Then here was my $400 ignition system wrapped in plastic and in a walmart bag. no original box, no warranty papers ,no receipt,the stickers were missing, etc. what a focking joke. Can't wait to see if it works or not. I guess he used it for 3 weeks to see if he liked it or not. WELL, HOW WAS IT GOLENTONGUE. DOES IT WORK? Jackass...Just goes to show. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Buyers beware. Oh yea, he goes by the name of Brassrail on suzuki hayabusa.org.

I have my own opinions about him, but I was always told if I didnt have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all. I aint saying anything.

Amen brother, you're not the only one!

Got the same BS from something I bought from him...still can't figure out why everyone thinks the GoldenChild is so great...

I can't see why you feel the need to post it under multiple areas on the same forum, but as I stated in the other thread:

Well, having been to his shop and seeing him personally on several occasions, I find your accusations hard to believe. He has always been VERY straight up in every one of my dealings. This is the first bad rep I have seen or heard of regarding Daniel, and I'm sure you are in the VERY small minority....

Since I dont frequent the other site I couldn't say to know whether or not he is in fact Brassrail.

Hopefully you have contacted him and tried to reconcile any problems or miscommunications prior to airing your laundry on a public forum. He is well respected on this site and in my local community of the greater Portland Oregon area. He is a regular face at many bike gatherings and at the local drag events. I can't see him jeopardizing a good reputation like that to make a buck or two....

Hopefully you can contact him and resolve this.

Hey Speed, you may be the minority here.

I have nothing to say on this issue other than I hope it all works out and was just a misunderstaning. On a side note... why (if it's true) would anyone need different user names on multiple forums? I would think from a marketing stand point if your building your reputation through good service/products you would use the same name so people could spread the word. Anyway... not taking sides... just my .02

I pm'd Cap on this guy a long time ago.. nothing happened.. Now I just ignore him and his posts..

 

[species0113]

Speedgeek, if he didn't screw you. then thats good. As for me, there is nothing to resolve. unless something happens to the ARC-2 or it doesn't work. usually when you buy something new it comes with paperwork, receipt, warranty, return info. etc. Im not saying I got screwed, just lied too from the beginning. why would you take it out of the original package, remove stuff from the package, including the package and repackage it in a walmart bag for resale.

I don't know what to say. Daniel has always done right by me. Could this be someone else using his handle

If I were getting a $400.00 item for $50.00 I wouldn't expect anymore than what you got. That's 12.5 % of cost. I hope it works for you and that it continues to work for a long time.

 

[DR1300R]

Daniel does right by who he wants to.. Mods get good deals.. average joe like me NOT.. I've had issues with him.. Low ball the seller if the seller sells watch ebay and you'll see the item for twice what he paid for it.. Quite the business man for shore..

reread the original post a little slower.

He offered me a brand new ARC-2  for $50 cheaper then Schnitz and also said it was immediately available.[/Quote]

I don't know many people on here and makes me almost like a 3rd party. However, "if" someone sells me a item and the item is advertised as "brand new" than it should be brand new. Either way you cut it, that is false advertising. I would be upset if I bought something and the price of a item means nothing, if it is supposed to be brand new and it was used, it is not what I had purchsed and that is indeed wrong. My $.02...

 

[BlueHaya]

....if what you say is true..I would have sent it back as soon as I got it, especially if it was in a walmart bag. Then all of this might have have been avoided.

Before I post my comment on the matter, could please post the address of the person your talking about.

Or watch pay it forward items end up there. These are items that are supposed to be used by the receiver of the good deed, not profited on.

Ok folks let not fall apart on this one. I can understand feeling for sorry for someone that has been screwed.  If you haven't been done wrong by Daniel you shouldn't take advantage of the topic by voiceing your opinon of man because you feel he didn't offer you a good of a deal you assumed you would have gotten based on others comments.


Daniel has been around for years selling locally and online.  The site he is probably referring to as him being kick off, several other legit vendors (for example (Suzuki4Life) and members had been booted off too for not agreeing with the site owner(Motorhead) which has step down and turn the site over to someone else due to unfortunatelly complicated business issues (sales) with some of its members.

With that being said, in the past Daniel on his on has put out serveral fires between vendors and customers with satisfactory results on both sides.

Species, have you PM'd him? Try and work things out with him in PM's than on the forums... if nothing comes of that, THEN take it public.

 

[frisbee]

He's always done right by me . He's the only one I let do any work on my bike . Did you try to resolve this to make sure it wasn't a mix up?
