I know Eric well. He’s a straight shooter. I’ll try to find out what’s up.

Brad -
Thank you for reaching out to him about this. I'm really hoping we can get things back on track soon.
Best Regards - Rich

Disappointing that this thread has been active for days without any reply by Mr. Nelson. If he is ill, incarcerated, or otherwise incapacitated he has my most sincere apologies. Otherwise, I stand by my "bad trader" assessment.

No offense, but using the thread to essentially publically embarrass him, is a little questionable as your personal situation has nothing to do with us or this site.
Maybe keep your speculations about his situations to yourself?

Maybe keep your speculations about his situations to yourself? Seriously? What is the point of this so called community then? The guy made it clear it has been "months & months" with dozens of messages and no reply at all. Eric is a big boy he can handle it, we all can handle it when we are in the wrong. Hopefully it just works itself out. A fellow member is asking for our help and advice. Brad was kind enough to reach out and I'm sure John would. Let's not turn this thread into judgments, lets just rerspond if we can help with a productive suggestion.

Ya, completely seriously, I think it’s pretty tacky as it’s got nothing to do with us.
Posting the first comment I was ok with: harping on it, No.

I reached out to Eric Thursday night by text. He indicated that he would be taking care of this, but mentioned that he has not been feeling well. He has been pretty open on here about his health issues. I know nothing about the circumstances of this transaction.
I texted him again today and haven’t heard back. I know that when he is physically able to take care of this, he will. I’ll report back if I hear anything.

I never put it there and I think private matters could be dealt with more discreetly.

You were the only guy to come on here and attack the poster about reaching out for help to the community after months & months of discrete private messages. Your lecture wasn't needed. It was clear that it was an uncomfortable situation. Again I'm glad it's handled. And I'm not trying to break your chops. Just voicing some support for the poster.

My initial reaction was to defend Eric too...He’s the one with the positive history on this site, not the OP. But I want it to be resolved and I’m sure Eric will take care of it as soon as he’s able. I PM’d the OP to let him know A little history.

I think it’s Jacked Up June. Been contentious around here - myself included. I don’t need more anxiety and stress in my life, so I’m gonna bring it down a few notches.

Don't wade into the water if you aren't gentleman enough to listen to other peoples' points of view. My God and my right to free speech are two of the most important things in my life and I make an effort to respect those rights for others.

In any event, I have full faith in Brad and John K's posts here. I also hope whatever health challenges Eric was facing, he'll be better soon. Chris

The moderator has messaged me with some background which may explain the situation.
To be clear, my intention was to leverage this online community (which I was previously unaware of, only finding it when I was searching for parts for my console, and finding Eric and his console for sale) to help move things along.
I do appreciate the opinion (and assistance) of the various people who have chimed in here.
Best - Rich

I don’t know Eric personally, but he has always been a solid dude on here, going out of his way to offer advice, contacts, and even shipped me some speaker stand spikes for free. He was dealt a shit hand in life, I couldn’t imagine the struggles he faces. I don’t see him being intentionally dishonest (or so I want to believe). I hope everything is ok for him.

How many people will see the headline of this thread but not bother to read through to find out that the situation is more nuanced than the headline would suggest? That's why in my opinion it's not cool to publicly call a member out by name like this. Eric Nelson has a reputation around here. I'm sure that's worth something to him. If I were moderator or OP I would delete this thread or at least modify it's title to reflect reality. "Eric Nelson - Bad Trader Alert - NOT!" Have a nice day everyone! Edit: Wow, that happened really fast!
