dave741=david1600?

[fountainpenkid]

I have a hunch that this is the case based on the wording, prices, and pictures this member is using in their sales on this site. Also, as evidenced by a recent paypal request, they have the same name. If by pure miraculous coincidence this is not the case, it would be great to hear from this member, as david1600 was known to be a deceptive seller (see here: http://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread....t-Would-You-Do).

Thanks,

Oh, good grief. I may just avoid buying pens from anyone with the user name "David####"

From a source who wishes to remain anonymous:
"Yes. It is the same person.

I'll pass this along, but you didn't hear it from me. I've been in some discussion with someone at FPN. I didn't buy a pen from him but I almost did...something felt fishy. But I did notice he was selling too much on FPN so I reported him.

dave741 = david1600 = crazypen80

Nuts88 uses some of the same IP addresses, as well. He says it's a cousin, and he borrowed his account. I think FPN has removed his ability to sell, and may be banning him outright.

Supposedly he has several other accounts that have been discovered and shut down.

Again, you didn't hear this from me. If you want to pass it along feel free to say you've compared items and pictures across several sites and figured it out yourself. "

I've him on the ignore list for at least the last six months...

Has anyone tried reporting him to Eric? He bumped some sale posts this morning.

Here's a p.m he just sent me in defense; judge for yourself:
"Truth to be told I have no idea what should I write, maybe you could tell me? I am member of this forum since 2014, it's true that I mostly sell pens but I had never problems with any pens which i have sold here and you're linking me to another seller - destroying my reputation here. Have I done sth to you that you do so? Do you have any hard evidence other than similar name - I believe you point it out. I am pen collector for about 8 yrs, I do have many pens, I have added them on sale using old topics on forums, didn't know it will start witchhunt after sometime. I do have account on fpn, but is it a crime? Don't know this david1600 guy you linked me into, so maybe you explain me what kind of response you want?"
I have direct proof that he is connected (same name on paypal invoice, same location), so his futile attempt to cry ignorance is the nail in the coffin for me...

There's also the use of the 'sth' contraction which I have never seen except in posts by david1600.

I thought a sth contractions was Tatoo the Sith.

The Death Star, the Death Star ...

[tandaina]

I was wondering what in heaven's name sth meant. Tatoo and Sith makes utter sense and marks this one as a member of the dark side. Lord Vader why can't you keep him in hand then?

[mhosea]

I had to look it up! Apparently it means "something", which means we can now commence with a version of "Who's on first."

"STH" means "something".

What does it mean?

Something.

I know it means something, but what?

Yes? I'm not sure what you're asking.

I'm asking what "STH" means.

I told you, it means "something".

Aren't you going to tell me what it means?

I just did.

No you didn't. You just said it means something.

Yes, that's right.

... and so forth and so on.

By coincidence, at the time that film was released, there was a cartoon in the English satirical magazine Private Eye, showing a couple leaving the cinema showing I think, "Return of the Sith"

One said to the other: "Well that was a load of Sith!"

Quite appropriate one way and the other.

hmm... wish i had known before buying, we'll see how it goes after my pen arrives.

I hope you used PayPal. That offers at least some form of redress if required.



Having said that I seem to remember there have been some satisfied customers.

[c_fu]

yep paypal

well i bought this pen and turns out that there is a lot left out in the description just like the rest of the people that posted. when i just opened the pen there was ink all over the rear of the pen. trying to fill the pen i discovered that ink was gushing out from the rear of the pen. after closely looking at the piston , looks like there is dried ink all over the piston threads. hmm... seems like ink is behind the piston and prob has been there for a while since the brass looks all tarnished. i wrote back to dave to see if he'll help with some of the cost to get it fixed.

[oldstoat]

Good luck with that.

If the pen was sold as being in working order (clearly not in verz (sic) good condition) then he bears the full cost of the repair or gives you a full refund.

That's the correct way to do business.
