Furthermore, up to the point of the marker arriving at Stu's house, it is your responsibility. If you chose inadequate postal insurance that does not cover the value of the marker, the blame cannot be placed upon Stu and it is absurd that you are contemplating taking him to court when the blame lies in your hands.
I tihnk you are a little above your station pal.

Your respectable friend lets not forget, sold a broken marker as working in the first place and now you are talking about inadequate insurance?

I would also point out that this guy is not on here defending himself either after clearly having been informed of the situation.

Dusty,

I know what you mean, although as Stu has now confirmed, the marker was teched and posted out in full working order. It is fair that the marker should be returned to Stu for fixing and that was agreed by both sides, but the reason for this thread was related to Stu being accused of holding onto the marker once delivered and failing to cooperate with Nutz in having it fixed.

As the marker was clearly not delivered, it does now come down to the level of insurance held on the marker when it was posted and who should take responsibility for its loss.

the marker was in my hands before posting and i can confirm it was in working condition!! (possible damage during transit or adjusting the settings & grip screws to tight??)

anyone posting something of value knows to send it special delivery as the post office recommends..

Ok heads up this user is in my opinion untrustworthy, his name on these boards is stuart grieve,
he sold a marker to my 15 year old nephew, which i paid £240.00 via paypal, it was a ego, the marker arrived and the solenoid was fubar, my nephew contacted the member and he offered to fix it for free, if we returned it, which we did via royal mail recorded delivery, the item was confirmed delivered by the post office, but stuart did not sign for it, and we waited and waited until we wrote a legal letter which he responded to by phone, and promised to sort it out, no further calls back as promised were made by him, so now i gotta travel down to southampton to take this blagger to court, i hope he has a good solicitor. So buyers beware, he sells markers to minors, he sells defective kit, then ****ing rips you off when he cant keep up his end of the deal, like i said buyers beware this guy is in my opinion untrustworthy, mods or admins maybe we should have a name and shame section and if we do, can you move this there, thanks nutz – team s.w.a.t.
He sold gun to the buyer.... You Paid for it

i cannot comment further as i only know what i have read..

i have been watching this and as it stands at the moment with fkinpaintball's last comment it either looks as if nephew managed to break it as soon as he got it and he decided to say it was broken when he recieved it OR it was broken in transit. sorry for stating the obvious:eek:

and now royal mail has gone and lost it which is not suprising:(

i just hope it all gets sorted out for you both

i wouldn't doubt either person in a case like this.

the buyer could indeed be lying, i don't know. My point to Will was not to get involved in a public flogging session, and more or less to let stuartgrieve either come on and defend himself (which he has done) or get things sorted between them.

really, I hope it gets sorted, but i think there are better ways to do things than splashing names all over the web............

first letter which he responded to via phone

address removed
Dear Stuart,

This letter is to give you the chance to sort out what is currently a very distasteful situation.

My nephew josh Davies entered into communication with you via the paintballer forum, to purchase an ego paintball marker, he sold his original marker and raised the cash this way, josh however is only 16 years of age and asked me as his uncle to make the payment to you for the marker which was done via paypal on the 14th may 2007 for £240.00
Transaction (ID No.7XA38574DT7652342).

We received the marker during the following week via royal mail.

Even though the marker was received late, we then checked it at our paintball site were we have the air set up and found that the marker was defective, josh contacted you via the paintballer forum on the 31st may 2007
Were you promised to fix the marker and then return it?

We sent it back to you via the royal mail recorded delivery which I have been informed by the royal mail that you received on the 11th June 2007.

Since then josh had sent you a PM were you indicated that you had not received the marker back and advised him that
you would fight legal action against you.

So the reflect, you knowingly sold a marker to a minor, you sent a marker that was defective, we returned the marker at cost to us, you then indicate that you have not received it.

So to solve this problem you need to do one of two things, keep you side of the contractual obligation and send back the marker fixed, or offer a refund to include £5.70 postage via paypal.
If this matter is not resolved to favour both parties, I will personally peruse this matter through the small claims track, which will include legal costs and travelling expenses, which I anticipate to be a case value of £750.00 + issue fees.

It is a shame that such a simple transaction between players has resulted in what has now becoming a court case, but from the track record you have shown thus far may reflect on your character, and I will endeavour to make the various paintballer forums aware that you are not trust worthy unless we can resolve the matter at hand

Yours sincerely


++ this letter was also sent recorded delivery ref 12th july and guess what no signature again, so to enforce my argument, if he never got it, why did he ring me ??? DL621121439GB

2nd Letter To Court We Go Unless ??

Notice of intention.

Dear Stuart,

As you received another recorded delivery letter which you actually responded to on the 14th July 2007, it seems again that your promises that you made on the telephone were as shallow as this whole deal.

To clarify, I wrote to you on the 11th July 2007 and sent this letter recorded delivery number DL6211 2143 9GB
Which again you did not sign for by has been confirmed again by the royal mail as delivered, the postman in question however is to be dealt with by the royal mail in due course>

You responded to this letter by ringing our office on your mobile phone, which we have the number stored.
This was on the 14th July 2007 at 9.45am
You indicated that you were going to investigate were the marker was and advised me that you would ring me on the following Monday being the 16th July 2007.

As I stated in my previous correspondence it would appear that you and in my opinion are not trust worthy.

No responses have been received as promised, nor no resolution

Please take this letter as a final demand, if no resolution is forthcoming we will take legal action against you as outlined in our letter dated the 11th July 2007 (copy attached)


Your sincerely
