If you have a problem with something you bought from me, feel I scammed you, or are unhappy with a sale, please, send me an PM. I would like to work out the problems I have with buyers/sellers. I would like to do it privately, to avoid more drama here. If you are happy, or unhappy, please tell me why, and what I can do to make the deal right for you.

I don't want this to be confrontational, I am trying to figure out what problems buyers have, and what I can do to resolve them. If you think I did something good, please let me know. If there is something I can change or improve, let me know.

Wish more people would do this...

Well spoken, Ben. I hope people take you up on your offer (in private) if they feel they've been misled. It's good to see folks willing to step up and make things right.

I have received the FieldmaxII I ordered from Ben very fast without any issues.

The thing you need to improve is packaging, the meter was wrappen in a old newspaper causing the meter to be covered in ink from the paper.

the stuff you are selling most of the time got a big value so proper packaging in needed.

I bought a 532 module and TEC from Ben awhile back. It arrived in a timely manor without any problems or issues.

I PM'd Ben after he started this thread with some constructive criticism on dealing with others. I feel like it was very well received.

I'm sure Ben has the best intentions with all of his trades. He just has to appreciate how much bad feeling can be generated when seemingly small things go wrong or when they aren't sympathetically handled when they do.

I would have loved to have had a Coherent power meter off him but simply didn't feel able to trade with him due to a lack of trust stemming from other users experiences and especially the trade with Bridge.

Hopefully now, everything can be put right by PM.

Ben contacted me in private and he apologized if I was not satisfied with the deal and offered his help to fix it or make it better.

He made a sincere attempt to fix it, and I’m happy with that.

I am not sure I understand the word "private" any more...:D

What trade was this? :confused: The only trade I did with bridge went flawlessly, he got his power meter, and I got my laser, no issues on either end.

I think he's confusing you with Lasernerd.

yes Ben had nothing to do with that deal, lasernerd sent bridge a damaged power meter and justified it becas he felt the overspec 473 he got in return wasnt tem 00 and then proceeded to try and damage Bridges reputation.

I bought a 100W Scientech head and broken meter from him at a good price and with the help of some other friendly members of this forum I got it working and calibrated a few weeks ago.
After a little smoke (had no way to defocus the beam, had to use raw 4mm output!) I saw that my Synrad 48-1 puts out around 14W of glorious 10600nm, nice! :)

Thanks Guys, it seems the main think I need to work on is packing quality. I'll work on improving it in any upcoming deals.

re

hiya

im so glad you have done this ben. iv never traded on here but iv read alot of trades have gone wrong recently and it all turns into a slanging match. alot of people have said things that i think were a little out of order so doing this is extremly good to try and settle things down abit.

i think its great.

in fact i was going to step in at some points and say i didnt think that it was appropriate when sed people were having there slanging matches but im sure this will resolve it.

thanks alot

surely, the unpleasure story is Lasernerd not Ben.
Lasernerd had banned by Admin, I thought he had learn something from his action.
I also trade a powermeter with Ben, the powermeter look nice.
Best regards!

Well ... i have some issues with myself ..... i was going to start a thread called Banthai issues ... basicaly it started like this

Last Year ... i sold a 40W HeNe pumped Yag encrusted laser pointer to myself.... unfortunately after a week it all fell a part ...after many phone calls ( yes lots of them ..... as every time i rang my number i was engaged ) i had not got any further ...

i ended up taking myself to court .... i was fairly certain i had a case

But in the end i lost .... totaly wiped myself out .... the court ordered me to pay myself back on weekly installments ...

this worked fine for a few months then the payments stopped

im now looking at taking criminal action against myself and hopefully the outcome will be a prison sentance

its a bit harsh ... but at least i will be able to visit myself everyday :D

all the best .... Karl :p

I bought a chocolate fireguard from Mr. Banthai. It only worked once. Dog loved it though.

I have been a close personal friend and lover of Mr Banthai for the last 67 years and can vouch for his sanity.

But his identically named twin that posts on PL is away with the fairies ..........

I have an issue with Banthai.

I purchased a 150mW 473 laser from him some time ago. When I checked the output a few weeks ago it was producing over 200mW.

Flagrant false advertising.

Mr Banthai you owe my missus 25 party balloons; destroyed by your renegade photons and you owe me 2 rolls of black insulating tape :mad:
