I want my par meter back - it’s in Franklin, NC

[BeanAnimal]

Well you know how I feel about PAR meters....

but you could send me the Cynarina and I can send him some kind of mean note and a video of me tearing a phone book in half... well I guess there is no such thing as phone books anymore....

No good deed I suppose.

Sure, could be dead or sick or had some terrible life event or maybe sold it for crack or baby food... who knows. Honestly at this point it sounds like a write-off unfortunately.

It on my OF... just sign up there.

Sure it’s possibly but I do have confirmation from a member in the town that:
I still get mail, packages delivered, even Internet and cell phone service is back.

But also a major highway is shutdown and grocery stores are low on food.

If this happened and he sent me a message explaining the situation I wouldn’t have made this thread.

He last messaged me sept 19 and last signed in sept 26. He’s had time to send out a quick dm

Yeah. It’s a crap situation. Hope you get it back soon.

In all seriousness - While they are not easy to rip, it is mostly just technique, not so much brute strength. You do need to have one heck of string grip to do it one one tear though. 3" phone book is not actually as tough as it looks once you figure out the technique. It has been decades but used to do it for easy to win bets.

didn’t they have a lot of rain and power outages up there?

 

[Doctorgori]

While I don’t condone what this person is doing and they’ve obviously taken advantage of good will, they might be dealing with hurricane cleanup right now? Not saying they’re right, just why you might not be getting any response right now.

…sorry didn’t notice this post

Helene did hit NC on 9/26. But they had plenty of time before that to return it.

A member posted a build thread and in that thread I offered a sump for sale. They messaged with me, wanted it, sent me the money, and I mailed them the sump. I rate the transaction A+. Both parties happy and good communication

We started talking and they were friendly and asking questions about their build and I was offering advice and help

Through convo they mentioned they need a skimmer. I had a spare skimmer for their size tank, I offered it for sale, they wanted it, they paid me. So far this dude seems legit

He has lighting questions. I told him he needs par readings, and out of kindness and due to two successful payments and weeks of dms, I offered to include my par meter in the package with the skimmer I was shipping and said he could borrow it for a few week and mail it back when he’s got the readings. He happily agreed.

Then he started saying he needs to wait for his sister to loan him a laptop to take readings because he didn’t have one. I was blown off week after week and was trying to be patient but felt like excuses sometimes seemed repetitive

Then he disappears from forum for weeks and no messages answered. He finally came back and said he would send it back that week and he never did.

I want my par meter back. I don’t think he’s a scammer I think he has a busy life and mentioned kids going through potty training, work having long hours, and the build going slow due to life.

I want my par meter back and he’s not answering Gmail emails, forum messages, and I even sent a PayPal invoice for the meter with a note saying please send it back or pay for it; and I have no response.

Anyone in or near Franklin, NC? Get my par meter in a box mailed back to me, I’ll pay the sh, and I’ll send you a reward - PayPal cash or if you want to split sh, I’ll send you a Cynarina. That’s right. A 250-300$ coral if you want it.

Someone help me please. I have the address and name. Seems like a nice guy who just got busy and put me on the way way back burner. This was sent in June. It’s been long enough.

Hopefully not the same guy as the PSK100

So that’s where all the phone books went
