Well, not wishing to be lacking in Christmas spirit and good will towards all men, but.......one of our agents in the field has spotted the unmistakeable figure of Young Soul Rebel out and about in San Franscisco. He was observed out for lunch with his with his lady, there were no obvious signs of him having recently been involved in a serious accident....not that you can always tell .... but whatever the case may be he certainly appeared to be fit enough to be capable of mailing a parcel.

Lets hope he makes thing right with Sancho and Kafka soon.

Yeah, kinda hope that too. I'm still waiting on the refund. If I haven't got it next week I will take action. Stay tuned.

I just packed my "dopp kit" and I'm SF bound.

In that case, I'm transferring to the 7:10 to Biloxi as soon as I hit San Antone!

I actually corresponded with YSR, having felt an injustice had been served to him: we had already broken the rustic Americana barrier with some of Thee Captain and Bop's offerings which were accepted and praised by the forum, I felt that if these outfits were acceptable, why not YSR in all his tattoo'd glory? He seemed a decent enough chap. And who remembers the wonderful copper plate writing Darcy who was extremely late with sending stuff and then disappeared without trace and was tracked down to this forum by a disgruntled Etsy purchaser who was owed a lot of money having purchased a load of material from her which never arrived?

Also worthy of note at this stage: YSR stated in one of his postings that he had just got out of an induced coma for two weeks following an appendix removal. I thought this was a bit odd as appendix removal operational wise is a walk in the park and having had one the recovery time is next to nothing compared with other operations. The prime danger is not the operation, but being poisoned if it bursts.

I do hope this all gets amicably resolved, but if this has been a method of getting revenge on the forum, then it has only backfired and made YSR look like dodgy character. Why do this to yourself?  But somehow, I can't quite get my head around why a scammer would expose themself with posting photos on the forum and making themself easily recognizable to one and all on the street? Perhaps like Darcy it all became too much.

This is appalling, so this guy is prancing around SF  at the time of claiming to have been injured in an RTA ...Yet he owes at least two people money.

A complete Shyster and a no good bastard to boot !

Wish I could tell myself that. Still waiting for Etsy to come back at me.

I've got some experience selling across platforms, and although this seems to be about how everyone feels about YSR from what's happened, I'd have a guess that this is probably whats up. Also it's been wall to wall Poirot this Xmas so Im in the mood for a deduction.

If you list across platforms you run the risk of selling the same product multiple times. If that happened and you didnt check things correctly, and the money came into your account then you could quite easily spend it.

If this happend to yourself and you were stuck for cash then I guess youd look to lay low.


I dont think anyone would go about setting up this type of thing specifically to rip people off..mainly its got no longevity to it..what are you going to make 60 dollars before anyone realises? Not really worth the bother..i think he got himsef in some financial situation maybe by spending money should have been refunding..maybe by mistake, then all the cover story is either a way to buy time..or he's hoping the buyer just gives up.. not the most chivalrous way to go about things.

Anyway thats my guess.
