I'm in an unfortunate situation with Mr. Lamey.
In late December of 2004, I contacted him about doing some custom work on a CS trailmaster. He quoted me an amount and said that it would take him a month to do. He also said that if I paid via paypal, it would help speed things up. I paid him via paypal around the week of the new year.
One month goes by: no knife. We contact each other via email, and it turns out he's busy with a show, but would finish it soon. I, of course, like Matt, and trusted his word.
Several months go by, and there's no knife. I email him several times, requesting some sort of ETD, so that I know when to expect it. He contacts me, saying that he was "busy" or "sick" or some other reason. No ETD is ever mentioned in any of these later emails, regardless of how often I request them. Of course, I just let it slide.
It has now been about 6 months, and I finally emailed Matt telling him that I was frustrated by all this. I emailed him last Thursday, telling him that this has been very frustrating for me, and that I need some sort of ETD by Thursday. I don't care if he said "December of this year", I needed a date.
No response, of course.
No response on Friday.
I check my email today, and still no response.
So I just finished emailing him telling him that I simply need a refund on the money I sent him for the incompleted service ($150), plus a refund on the trailmaster (which I purchased on ebay for $120). The total would be $270.
This has been a frustrating experience for me, because I've read old threads complaining about this same type of thing regarding Mr. Lamey. I'm posting this thread not only to vent my frustration, but also to warn others of my experience when dealing with Mr. Lamey.
