    Negative feedback thread for kcarcadegame

    Thanks for the welcome! Didn't feel like this was the right stage to go talk about my Chunithm story, so I kicked off a discussion thread and wrote up my history with the game, and why I'm so passionate about it over here. Would love to gush more if anyone has any questions, and also hear about...

    Dang, USPS updated estimated delivery of the packages KC sent to Monday. Will have an update when I have it in-hand. For what it's worth, assuming the right parts are in those parcels, KC did turn them around (and in the timeframe I'd requested at the beginning of the week, that he couldn't...

    Thank you; this right here helped me put something to words. I don't want to feel like a burden on the community and its generosity, taking advantage or leeching out of sympathy for this whole messy situation. Cereth as I've mentioned has been incredibly gracious with time, advice, and even...

    I've gotten a local offer, in private, for a floor mat for $50, that I'm gonna be taking. I can afford it whether or not KC judges it worth reimbursing that cost for me (just like I can afford the locks, or even the "critical parts", if needed -- it's just that they should have, in my eyes, been...

    Cereth's been nothing but great to me, he's given me some great advice about this cab and this situation; in fact, he even talked to his distributors to track down replacements for the missing "critical parts" that I wasn't going to be able to source via YAJ, in case KC failed to deliver. He's...

    I did, and still could, but honestly I really don't wanna go that route; it's frankly nuclear and more trouble than the couple hundred dollars is worth to me (they might rule more, I don't know, just... I'm really not looking to screw him over, which that almost certainly would do in a...

    Honestly, hell -- the floor mat should have been disclosed as missing. And the locks, too. I probably would have still bought the cab, at the same price, if they had been disclosed as missing. The funny thing is, the cash value of the locks, plus the cash owed, plus the floor mat YAJ listing...

    To be completely clear (this was discussed up-thread): He offered me a full return, including freight costs, which I refused; at the end of the day, I spent a vacation day on receiving this thing, and would need to spend another on sending it back -- that is very expensive in itself, and a...

    Easy, already did so for the original Dispute thread for PayPal: "Critical Parts" (with Service Manual part numbers) which he communicated he would send me, but repeatedly delayed: Right Billboard Speaker assembly (130-5260 Speaker, CNI-1527 right-side bracket, CNI-1528 speaker "lid", with...

    KC I don't want to fight with you in this thread, I just want to establish: you spent a month telling me it would be sent out "soon", or even "next week" (which you failed to meet). I started a dispute in hopes of bringing you to the table to actually commit to a time to deliver the parts, which...

    Negative feedback thread for kcarcadegame

    The "return it" take, as I've already explained to him, really doesn't make sense when you consider that I have to take time off work to deal with freight -- so I'm already in the hole one vacation day, and returning it makes that two. So if the options are "take the return" or "take what you...

    Negative feedback thread for kcarcadegame

    That actually brings up a question I'd love to hear feedback about: When a seller tells you a cab is "complete", what does that mean to you? What do you expect, from that? Am I off-base to expect them to disclose missing lock cylinders, missing floor mats, etc? KC seemed to forget/lose track of...

    Negative feedback thread for kcarcadegame

    I will say that a lot of the strongest positive reviews are the ones that have high volume of cabs bought from him and others. This isn't discounting your experience -- and the fact that you're remote and getting good service is totally valid and relevant info for the discussion, but... it does...

    Negative feedback thread for kcarcadegame

    This is kinda the bummer here, like... I'm not a huge volume buyer, and I shouldn't have to be to get decent service, but... I am gonna be in the market for a Vewlix in the next year or two, and I've got a few friends who are looking for DRS and potentially other cabs. In the early phases of...

    Negative feedback thread for kcarcadegame

    Yeah, when I suggested it it didn't feel... particularly realistic. Feels like KC would begrudge them for making money he thinks he should be making, instead. But IDK. I have no trouble with a business optimizing for profit... as long as those optimizations don't screw over the customers...

    Negative feedback thread for kcarcadegame

    The real rich part is that he was complaining about the hassle I'd become when he was saying he'd push through a return, and kept saying it wasn't worth providing the support I was asking for all for $200 profit, and like... that's an odd number, I can't help but notice. $200 is the discount he...

    Negative feedback thread for kcarcadegame

    I won't pretend to know what's right for the forum, but I think some standards would be valuable within the sales threads, personally. Stuff like expectation of prices with each listing, disclosure of certain types of missing parts, and standard resolution timeframes from sellers, with some...

    Negative feedback thread for kcarcadegame

    "Lynching" is a bit harsh. I appreciate your perspective, and I'm honestly happy that you've had positive experiences with him, just... people talking about the idea that he's a liability to the community, because newcomers getting burned isn't really a great look, I think is fair. You coming in...

    Negative feedback thread for kcarcadegame

    I mean, I think GeeDee's point is that, the root cause of these machines having missing/incorrect parts shipped out with them to customers is pretty plainly because KC isn't doing a good job of confirming all the parts are in a set as necessary. Assuming he asks for them to be disassembled, it's...

    Negative feedback thread for kcarcadegame

    The funny thing is, I agree here to a large degree; at least, without the context of knowledge of the tradeoffs. It feels like there might be gains, shipping it this way -- or at least, deconstructed. Higher density, and maybe even less likelihood of things getting damaged (assuming they're...
