rtwoody4 terrible seller

FROM ANOTHER POST http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...hreadid=579462

Well, I got scammed . Here's the proof. Got the pump all hooked up plugged it in and it sounded like a sick cat. I immediately took it off, disassembled it, and this is what I found.



Everything inside the pump is warped and won't even seel. It blows microbubbles like a skimmer.


On top of the pump being junk..Probably from being run dry and fried.. It isn't even the pump listed. It's an RLZT rated at 600gph not the 1500 that an RLT is rated at. NOTICE THE TITLE AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE.



Here's his reply to my PM asking for a refund as I wasn't sold what was listed/

Quote from rtwoody4:
I don't know what problems your having with the pump #1 I clearly stated what pump it was I gave you pictures of the box and pump #2 It was working perfect when I shipped it to you. I am not going to give you money back for a pump that was practically new and working fine. Was the box damaged or anything. I have sold many things on this board and never had one problem. I don't see how you expected me to give your money back and be out the pump to

Looks to me like he fried the pump, bought a new one, cleaned this one up and threw it in the new box. I'm not stupid, I got scammed. Watch out for this guy. You can't tell me UPS burned up the inside of this pump when they shipped it. The box was perfect. This happens from running it dry!! I wouldn't want it even if it worked. What good is 600 GPH? Why do they even sell these?? The add said RLT!!

This is a bunch of BS you and I know the pump was in new condition when I sold it to you. I have been a member of this board since June 2001 and have bough and sold many things with out a problem why in the world would I try to sell a fried pump its not like I come on here for two weeks and sell something and never return to this forum.
I am very ****ed that you are trashing my reputation just to get a new pump that you fried!!
If the pump was fried when you u received it then why did you give me positive feedback and don't say you just noticed it when you hooked it up by the looks of the thing i doubt the shaft even turned and it would have smelled like burned rubber
you try and get people to think that it was this big conspiracy
to rip you off Whats would be the point so I have to go through this BS

Heres your oringnal feedback on the pump

Ya right, nobody here believes you. I have the pics to prove you didn't even sell me the right pump to begin with. Why would I fry a pump then bash you for not replacing it? Also why would I have just noticed this wasn't even the right pump if it had been in use?? It doesn't even make sence. I don't know anybody who would do that. Why is it hard for you to believe I didn't hook the pump up the day I got it? It is very convenient for you to blame me though isn't it. All so you can do this to someone else..I don't think so.

The pump runs fine, it's just screams and throws micro bubbles everywehere. No way of seeing this from the outside of the pump. As I said it is a beautiful LOOKING pump. You knew that when you sold it. This isn't going to get anywhere with you. I've accepted that. I just want people to know what kind of seller you are. Heck it isn't even the right pump so none of the other stuff should matter. It's not worth anything even if it wasn't burned up. You scammed me and everyone here deserves to know it. The add was misleading from the start. The proof is in the original post. Don't try to act innocent.

The fact that you are even trying to stick up for yourself could mean you didn't know the pump was fried. That is always a possability. I'm more mad about it being the wrong pump. I would pay the $60 to fix an RLT, but not this piece of crap.

For everyone who's looked at this..He sent me a $100 refund. It's probably the best we could make of a bad situation. It does show some integrity on his part.
