I totally agree!!

He ripped me off for some Elf Pro Bars and Elf hubbed wheelset for $204 inc postage (when the $ was weak).

He never sent them, he never replied to messages. I left a message on his answer phone. He never replied. He never replied to Paypal when I started a dispute.

It took an absolute age and I won by default because he didn't answer anyone!!

Then a month afterwards the same elf hubbed wheels (same piccys too) were put up on Ebay US and sold for less than I paid for them.

Fookin tool of the highest order!!! :uglystupid2:

Post by: bobafett on November 02, 2009, 11:05 AM: I won a goose frame off him early last year for a decent price - it took a while to arrive but was well packed and all was good :)

Some of his BIN prices have been a bit "out there" but if you think you can sell it for that much then why not :-\

Post by: Bob_Acid on November 03, 2009, 02:01 AM: Ken was one of the original old skool crew and always came across as being one of the good guys on the Yank forums.

Moley's story ain't the first time i've heard of a bad deal though but tbh it could have been the same story when it actually happened, Anyone else got anything bad to say about Ken?

I bought some Elf Pro Bars and Elf hubbed wheelset.

If he wanted to back out of the deal. Or he sold my Elf Bars by accident or found the Elf bars weren't Elf or whatever.

All he had to do was communicate. It took me over 3 months to get my $204 back and in all that time he never responded to emails, ebay messages, paypal or telephone calls.

All he had to do was say that he wanted out of the deal, refunded my money and I would've been unhappy but I wouldn't have had all of this hassle.

The fact he put the same Elf hubbed wheelset up on ebay a couple of months after I got refunded suggests that Ken is a fooking tool.

I always pay straight away and I dont rip people off.

If you buy lots of items off Ken and have a good rapport with him.........ask him why he screwed me over and then ignored paypal and myself for 3 months because I'd really like to know why such a standout member of the OS BMX community should fook me over. If he had no intention of selling to me then why not refund the money instead of drawing it out.

After joining RADBMX in 2007. The only deal that went sour and still grates, is that one. I'm just glad that he got less for the Elf hubbed wheelset than what I paid for them.

If he is a realtor then I hope the crash has severely fooked him up!!

You might have had deals with this guy and had no problems...........but I stand by what I say.

He is a tool of the highest order!!
