GhostfaceZX Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) I don't know how to do it, nor am I a trusted member of this group, so I'm suggesting some well-known member here set up some kind of donation fund for the financial losses that Edge suffered. Together we can all help ease the pain to his pocketbook. Hopefully the pp account created will have a strong password! Also, hopefully there will be a cap to the amount he actually lost - once the amount is reached, any incremental will be refunded. Read about Edge's story here: Read it here Edited May 23, 2006 by GhostfaceZX
leitztozeiss Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Edge is a class act and a gentlemen. I'm in. Just let me know how and where.

Thanks for the thought Ghostface but I have no intention of making this the boards problem. I am merely trying to educate the boards as to the goings on. As it stands I have spoken to pp and they assure me that all of the buyers WILL receive their money back. THAT IS ALL I CARE ABOUT. I have also been told that I will not be reimbursed for my loss in this but that is not the top of my priorities at the moment. I have about 20 hoops to jump through for pp then my account will be returned to me so that I can refund the Buyers. BUYERS YOU WILL ALL GET YOUR MONEY BACK!!!!

I am merely trying to educate the boards as to the goings on. As it stands I have spoken to pp and they assure me that all of the buyers WILL receive their money back. THAT IS ALL I CARE ABOUT. It's not the board's problem...it's all of us trying to help someone who is down, just like all of us helped Dutchy. A few dollars from each of us who wants to contribute won't be much hardship to each of us individually. I have also been told that I will not be reimbursed for my loss in this.... That is seriously messed up, but unfortunately, not much we can do against their monopoly.
watcher71 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 I have about 20 hoops to jump through for pp then my account will be returned to me It is a friggin ridiculous process. I spend countless hours trying to get the account I use unfrozen, and the only reason it was frozen was because I did not use it often...and then suddenly sold a bunch of stuff. friggin ridiculous! Good luck.
ryyannon Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Some simple math: 80 members x $10.00 and Chris is out of the woods. 40 members x $20.00....etc. Once we decide how to do it, we post the message and keep bumping it up till we get there. Remember, it could have happened to anyone of you... Whadda think, guys...
Admin Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 It's not the board's problem...it's all of us trying to help someone who is down, just like all of us helped Dutchy. A bit off topic, but where is Dutchy? He became very quiet after that fund raiser. Just wondering if there was ever posted any pics of the watches he received etc. Thomas
ryyannon Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Well, I reckon we know where Chris is.... Dutchy will sort himself out.
Richard Tracy Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Count me in ! Edge has always given, and now some of that needs to circle back...!
cwai02 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 A bit off topic, but where is Dutchy? He became very quiet after that fund raiser. Just wondering if there was ever posted any pics of the watches he received etc. admin Dutchy had final exams last month. He still shows up once a while in RWI.
ryyannon Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Where's the Scottish Mafia? We need some some organizaiton here...

Ill be here much more often, as im a guy that cant be missed, hehehe. I just have to get this damned work outta the way! 2 weeks to go! That is horrible about Edge, I would be 200% ready to help out in ANY way I can, lets get this started guys! I was reluctant to accept donations after my watch fiasco, but it sure is wonderful to have people help you out when you get knocked down by something like this. Who can get this thing started??? All the very best, Floris

ryyannon Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Either some of you misguided souls imagine that I'm trying to gather these funds for myself or that I'm such a fu$§*tard that you don't want to get involved in anything I'm associated with. To the first, allow me to say that you're mistaken. For the second, I quite understand your feelings. For the latter reason, I'm leaving this thread to the next member who wants to move it forward with more success and dynamism than I'm capable of mustering. Perhaps someone else will want to pick it up after the next person takes it to the next level, and so on.... My pledge to Chris stands, however.

Can we have admin (Admin) help out regarding accepting and distributing the payment? Maybe if he gets involved, we can work some kind of deal where any excess will not be refunded, but rather be put towards supporting this site and TRC. Maybe some cross-posting about this fund on TRC as well?
bremerk2 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 I'm in.

jonthebhoy Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Where's the Scottish Mafia? We need some some organizaiton here... The Scottish Mafia is here and we eat fu$§*tards for breakfast as well as pigs bladders, cows blood, magic mushrooms and other local delicacies. I am happy to throw something into the pot from a personal perspective but will also discuss with Admin and other Mods if there is a means to set it up via the board. JTB
