Detailed Comment It is with sad news that I tell my tale about a deal I made with Brandon "Bean" Fisher in regards to Phish's return to Hampton so that he could


be there all 3 nights taping 8)


Bean was interested in coming to Hampton and we set up a deal where he would pick up my spare 3-day pass:







1) How much is a 3 day pass?

2) When do you need the money by?


A) I'll take $200 even if I can just bring it with me instead of shipping and I don't have to deal with paypal fees. I think they were originally like 207 or 206.
B) I think if you mailed it by Sept 27th or the 28th that would be ok. That gets it to me by the 1st.

Think that's doable?


So... you taking them or no?


Ill take it buddy!!! I get paid end of the month ;) see u at the mother ship 8)


Ok, any idea on when you'll mail payment? Lookin forward to seeing you again.


I get paid on the 30th. I can send it priority or something tho! Also, ill pay extra so I can have it in my hands before I leave for Hampton. You just NEVER know what's going to happen! I might get there late or the car break down and you'd be inside with my ticket ;)

Thanks Page, looking forward to seeing you again too!

Bean


As you may gather by now, that didn't happen. I think what particularly sucks about this wasn't that I ended up eating the tickets, it's that even as recently as


TWO WEEKS AWAY ;D


I was still under the impression that I'd actually see both my money and Bean, cause he even lamented that he was showing up cause


The timing could NOT be worse for me tho. If I wasnt doing Phish/Hampton next weekend for 3 nights, Id sell my mk41s and buy these INSTANTLY!!!


and


I need all the funds I can get for Hampton ;)


so yeah. I thought things were on the up and up. Then I got a PM that tripped a red flag in my mind. My spouse does payroll and other accounting duties for a place part time and she knows the federal regs and our state's as well.


Hey Page, just giving you a heads up. My boss still hasn't paid me all he owes me BUT I am going to send you your $212 TOTAL Monday/Tuesday AT THE LATEST regardless! Ill borrow some $$ if I have to ;)

So send me your mailing address and who to make the USPS Money Order to, and ill send you a PM when I ship the payment ;)

Thanks bro, getting SOOOO PUMPED for another return to The Mothership ;D 8)


It's great he was excited, but that he hadn't been paid was disturbing. Further more, the PM following that confirming he received my mailing address was the last correspondence that I received from him in the 2 weeks prior. He quit logging on to TS after 10/12 and didn't respond to either of my PMs asking for an update:



<snip> You're just not communicating with me and, instead of mailing me something as previously discussed, will be

1) Handing me cash on Friday afternoon.
2) Sending the money via paypal before Friday afternoon.
3) You're stiffing me.

Which one?



Still haven't heard from you, and I'd really like to know one way or another what's going to happen so I can plan to be there early or meet at a specific location or give the tickets to someone else.

I heard that you have <private details of positive events removed>, congrats.


I even poked around to make sure he wasn't in the hospital or in jail as I sort of cared for Bean and his well being. I found out from some other folks that he was quite alive and not incarcerated. Shortly after that, on the 16th, he logged on to TS.com. Didn't post anything or reply to my PMs, but did log on (around 8PM). Another two days pass and he logs on one more time on the 18th. Again, no posts nor correspondence.

Tonight, I login and see his ISO for a V2:


Ssia!PM me if you've got one collecting dust ;)


and his interest in a set of schoeps caps:


Are these still FS? I might still be interested in these ;)


So the two things that really bother me (other than not getting the money) about this are the following:

1) I had others come and ask about buying the pass and I turned them away because every indicator I had was that his past performance that landed him on the YS Post O' Shame / Buyer Beware list had been resolved. He even had 76 positive feedback additions (and up until I posted this, no negatives) since the advent of the YS feedback system.
2) Not only did he stiff me, but he didn't even have the gall to give me a warning that it was coming. Nothing. He just left me hanging. I don't particularly care what the reason is; whether he had a family emergency (unlikely since he's now looking for gear before the final notes of the weekend have even been played), or he just decided not to come. I don't care why, I care that he didn't send me a note before hand telling me I was getting fucked.

So heed the YS post Brian made.
