Well said Jeff.

I know some bogus officers and they suck. I also knew an officer that was killed on a traffic stop and my father-in-laws partner of 20 years was killed in a chase...they weren't paid anywhere near enough. Just imagine a night time traffic stop...dark, by yourself and that d-bag in the car could have his 9-mil pointed between your eyes as you approach the car, and this is every traffic stop they call "routine".

Actors and ball players make a lot of money, shows where our cultural priorities are.

To add: Most cops get crazy overtime with court time (that pays 2.5-4x their hourly pay). Not to mention details which pay roughly $75 an hour. Most cops here in Pittsburgh (middle class city) make $80k-$110k (total).

This thread has gotten way off track and I think its about time it gets reeled in...

We are dealing with a boardmember (now banned-thank you Leon) who has over promised and under delivered on at least 5 occasions, there are 2 situations where he has allegedly defrauded other members...

If this gent is truly a police officer he should be ashamed of himself... His duty is to protect and serve, to be honest and ethical while being a pillar in his community...

Clearly there are bad apples in every bunch (propreitors, lawyers, doctors, carpenters, machinists, Sports Memorabilia Dealers etc...)... but the bottom line is that police officers, fire fighters, and military take an inherent risk when they sign on for the job...

I don't feel that it is appropriate to comment on their duties. One day they may be directing traffic at a of rate of $50 an hour, the next day they may be risking their lives chasing the person who just invaded your home & stole your possessions for $15 per hour...

In my opinion, this cat Jose is not a good egg... But to lump other public servants into this discussion (good/bad/indifferent) is just not fair.

Just an fyi, looks like ole Jose is quite pervasive. I have had 2-3 more PMs in the last few days concerning cards that members have bought and not received yet. For those sympathetic to his issues, don't be.

[chaddurbin]

i had to keep at him for about 2 weeks to get my refund, basically texting/calling and even telling him to send the refund with tracking...but in the end i did get it. don't know if it had any effect, but this was before his issues blew up on the board and he was banned.

i don't agree with the waiting period for new people selling. it's hard to monitor who could be a potential scammer, but we could make it harder like not allowing new people to accept check/mo/pp gift only. regular paypal is still safe against most types of online scammers.

I emailed Jose. He did not respond to my first email but then did respond to my second. He told me that he did not have my address to mail. This was confusing as he had mailed to me twice before. Maybe he can not look at his old PMs here?

Anyway, I am expecting that he mails me my items OR a refund.

I will update on the results.
