Feedback - FROWNS

Its a shame he took advantage of a good deal to make an even better deal for himself.  >:(

Lets hope at least he gets a permanent ban.

What surprises me is the fact that the guy paid 20k out of 22k but didnt pay the rest 2k. Strange, very strange...

anirban was lucky that it was not the other way around!  ;D

jokes apart, this person needs to be banned. having multiple ids shows the intention of him acting as a suspicious seller/buyer here. we should all be careful.

cheers!

His way of "bargaining" I suppose  ::)

Anirban - even without the issue on the non-payment, you should have reported the dual user ids.  If it's been done because of past adverse activity on his previous login, then that in itself is a violation of JJMF rules. I'd be interested in knowing what led him to create a second login.

Hi Anirban

So sad to learn about this! We are all proud to be with you, and you are facing issues like this!

This man Dyutiman had another id in this forum - walkonrain. He deleted this id and then came back with the other id. But he forgot to delete the id from BPC and you can check here as the proof -

See the signature at the bottom!

I think he also got one warning from Image about his duplicate ids when he put up one WTS post in this forum.

Nice experience ...

Cheers

Dear JJM Frnds,
For the 1st time I am being forced to write in Frowns bcoz of something which is not a huge deal but does effect trust among buyer and seller. The amount for which I am writing this only Rs 2,000 which I wouldn't have bothered much about but when someone breaks a commitment, its very hurting.

A little over a month ago I had posted to sell a Nikon 24mm 2.8 for Rs 12,000.
Mr. Dyutiman Bhattacharjee whom I had once bought stuff from before and had paid him on spot for it called me about this lens and if also I have a flash for sale since he had an event coming up in two days. I told him that I have recent bought 3 YN 565 which I havent used at all except testing and he can choose himself and take it for Rs10,000 since its an emergency... Otherwise I had no intention to sell my brand new flashes.
Anyway he came to my house (but without carrying any cash). He checked the lens and the flash. Since he had an event to shoot with no idea on hou to use a flash effectively I gave him a short lesson on the Flash and then made him understand CLS system so that he can use it off camera.
We then went out to atm, where he told me that he will give me Rs20,000 now and rest amount of Rs 2,000 in next couple of days via bank transfer.
That Rs 2,000 never came in last one month. Everytime he would tell me different versions like medical emergency, Bangkok trip etc. which might all be true but how long does it take one to transfer Rs 2,000... He even also told me that he will meet me and give me cash.
Anyway this is the case, sadly ruins my trust.

Lots of ppl in JJM have bought stuff from me over years ranging from few thousand to few lacs. Out of them some came to home to buy something and bought more stuff but since they were short on cash for the extra buy they used to go home and transfer me the money. I till date wonderful experiences every buy and sell...

Dyutiman Bhattacharjee from Kolkata has two id's... I think he stopped using one and created another one.
This is the old Id:
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1331

This is the new Id: http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=9417

and This is a post which he had posted also WTB 24mm and flash
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?topic=19976.0

I dont know if he would send me the money or not now but frankly I dont care since this has now left a bitter experience.

One question?

A buyer promised to transfer money in the bank account but did not do so, maybe he changed his mind.

Is it considered OK to renegade from a committed deal without providing a reason?

It is not considered 'Okay' .

Any prior committment to Sell/Buy an Item and later changing mind violates the rule and honesty of the person involved in that deal....
When a person commits to buy and so commits to pays, Seller is sure that the item would be given to him and so stops entertaining other interested persons by providing details that some person has already commited to pay. By change of mind from Buyer, Seller does not only loose other buyers but also leads in waste of time and energy. Faith in that person later would be out of question...

Thanks Raj.
