Awhile back there was a posting on some rip offs that were selling Gary Yamamoto stuff on eBay that turned out to be stolen.

I did two purchases (for molds) with them and they ripped me off for the second one – never sent items. Was contacted by GY and they requested pictures which were begrudgingly sent.

Was notified by GY that the molds were in fact theirs (they looked like Ament proto type), that they were stolen, and they wanted them back. They did ask how much I was into for the transaction and they would pay for the return shipping.

So the molds were returned – now I’m out ~$100 and no molds.

Then I get an email from GY – they got the molds and if I call in to the store I have a $200 credit line. Not only were they ripped off (for a lot) they made good on something (which they didn’t have to) that a pair of low life employees were doing.

I am stunned but really appreciative – thnx RC and GY.

Great info on a class organization,guess it does still pay to do the right thing, we all usually hear about the negative stuff never the positive.

Here is a real life story about 'Doing The Right Thing'. I brought my two boys up to always be honest even if it meant they did not always win by doing so. My eldest son who is now 27 yrs old was playing football (soccer) with friends in our local park, he was I think 12 at the time, the ball was kicked into some bushes and when he retrieved the ball he found what was at the time a state of the art, top of the range Panasonic video recorder and remote control in a plastic carrier bag. This had been stolen and stashed away to be collected by the thief later. The kid was made up because he thought he had just won a video for the television he had in his room. I made the lad take it down to our local police and hand it in.

In the UK if you hand in lost or stolen goods and it is not claimed within, I think, 6 weeks then you can claim them yourself. After his six week wait the police were contacted and the video had remained unclaimed. So the outcome of that was he got his video after all and even better it was done within the law. That 12 year old boy learnt a good lesson that day because had he kept hold of the video he would have been as bad as the thief who stole it in the first place. I think that lesson hit home because that 12 year old boy is now a detective constable in the West Yorkshire Police .
