Incredible you people just wire thousands of dollars from the comfort of your home office on a word of trust. How about signing a purchase order, getting an invoice, signing a contract? How about flying out to the persons wharehouse, ispecting the equipment, and watching it load up? I have learned the hard way too, but it only cost me $2500. best, kevin Also: Hp kayak XU single ppro 200, 32mb ram, cdrom, won't boot, $20 plus shipping

At the very least, Matt Griffit > and his company is more than a fly-by-night organization with a card > table and a laptop. This leads to the most frequently asked question I > get. What is the nature of the relationship between Matt Griffitt and > myself? Well, I have known Matt for over five years. I originally met > him at a consulting company in the Seattle area where I was VP of > Sales and Marketing and he was the Chief Information Officer. While we > only worked together for about a year before I moved east, we have > maintained a friendship and recently, an informal business aliance. My > company, Midwest Technology Associates, focuses on technology solution > implimentation - brokering equipment as a side venture only. Other > than a buy/sell relationship between Matt and I, we hold no stake in > each other's companies. My involvement in any of Matt's business > dealings has been that as a friend, advisor and concerned third > party... > > Like all companies in this market, both Matt and myself have had > situations in which circular deals were present or vendors became > unreliable. While no one can predict these things, they simply do > happen and there isn't much anyone can do about it. One situation on > my plate at the moment is that between my company and Ron Sananas with > Network-IT in Thornhill, Ontario. I owe Mr. Sananas $23,500 on a box > he purchased from me a few weeks back that I failed to deliver. In > good faith, I attempted to cover the order and only managed to eat up > more of my working capital. A number of issues have arrisen in this > transaction, most all of which lay the blame on my shoulders. I have > no problem publically admitting that I owe this money to Mr. Sananas - > I am an honest, God fearing man and have no intention of ripping > anyone off. While yes, the delay in getting the refund has been > improper, my bank assures me the wire is in transit as of today. > > A second situation is that with Jerry Galluzzo at United Computer. Mr. > Galluzzo paid for a 5400 which was sold out from under him while we > were waiting on payment. I have been waiting diligently for another > few boxes to arrive from a source overseas. I bought a box to cover > from Matt, and he only received it yesterday. Again, no one is getting > ripped off, but the circumstances are rather unfortunate and may very > well be my fault. I am, however, confident Jerry's box is in transit. > > The situation with Frank Kim is not one that I am entirely privy to. > While I have done no business with Frank, his reputation is golden and > I respect what he says.
