I have a complaint about a seller. I bought a boxed Mechabot (pre-tf of Omega Supreme) from Jetbot on August 11 for $113. His info is as follows:
name, location: Hon Quach
of CA, USA
nick: "Jetbot"
email: hquach@rohan.sdsu.edu
He said it was only missing 1 small clip and the visor. When I got it on August 19 (poorly packed too), in addition to the 2 missing parts, there was a piece broken off the upper leg piece (foot doesn't stay on, he doesn't walk at all...feet don't even move, a gear popped off or is loose inside I think, and the light doesn't work properly.
I asked for a refund. After a lot of deliberation, he said he'd
send a refund minus shipping when he returned on September 3 (almost 3
weeks after I got it). I told him I want a complete refund plus shipping
since it's his fault! Haven't heard from him since. I gave
an ultimatum: agree to refund by September 7 or I'd post all about this
everywhere until I got my refund.
Well, that date has passed. I don't usually post this kind of
stuff on newsgroups but it's been 3 weeks now and no refund. I hope
Jetbot reads this and resolves this matter ASAP. If he does, I'll
post it here that he finally has sent me a refund. I want at least
my $113 back...I'll even pay to return it, even though I shouldn't pay
for it. I'm on a fixed income and every dollar counts.
In the off-chance that he doesn't give a refund, would anyone be interested in buying/trading for it? If so, how much value would you guys place on it? Comes with a good condition box, foam insert, instruction separated on the folds, stickers applied, robot is C9+ minus the broken stuff.

Yeah, I bought a MISB Thundercracker off of him a couple years ago. Don't remember exactly what it was, but I he lied about something, and several other people had complaints about him as well.
