Hello.
I'm the guy who took them home and is gonna take care of their ebay. Waited till today's auctions were done and just waiting for payment so time for this. Sorry but I have a lot say.
The lady who was panicked last night was the only one not dazed or crying and Wendy took it upon herself to grab the wheel but didn't know how to drive. The store , not the van wheel - I give her credit .
I don't think any of the others cared about anything other then storm and his wife at that moment.
I had no idea about this post or original reason and after reading first of all thank you to all who answered before 'it' happened, even the not so nice ones who bashed for taking long time friends word. If you can't take their word, then who can you trust I say.
The feedback are years old and steve's idea of funny. Like Darlene said in original post, he's the boss so gets say in things or something like that. The ones where Steve replied calling out the people who bash with stars but praised with feedback, he only 'disliked' the one who said item was 'life changing' then left low as described but he hated the ones who saw the total price before bid/buy and then low balled the shipping cost one.
The '2 Surgery' heart attack took place right after they retired and move here and happened at the Mission. I took him to the hospital, I was meeting him when it happen. Maybe that's why he took it upon himself to help us. This place was old when I start years ago. They taught us ebay. Now years later I would have to check to tell you how many people that deal has helps get back up on their feet. They did a fund this to get parking lot patched. Those folks got the thing replaced and a new roof and money left.
Those folks.
I've heard all their story's and as the 3/4 of the gang of four living here -- Steve, Darlene, 'Cat' -- are in/near their 80s and have known each other since just about birth. Steve and Phil aka storm are a few minutes apart. The four are maybe four months apart and lived not just on same block but three in one build and Cat in the brownstone across the street. Same schools, classes, camps. They were the Caton crew after street.
Steve and Phil's mom's were friends for years, met on the way to the camp. Train stopped, guards ran from Russians. Yes, those camps. Steve's dad survived because he still had a use, was a plumber. Think ovens and gas.
Steve's wife told me Phil made that they found call a week or so ago. The new wife called fri morn, he had died is some hospital in another state and getting him home was not gonna be easy. Steve kept it to himself till everybody was at the store for the weekly 'family dinner' I can't imagine Steve having to tell Darlene. He was the ex but still friends and his kids and grands.
The boss thing.
Started in Brooklyn with first place. He didn't want to tell the mob guy who owed the place. He said he was all 'I just work here' job thru agency, owned some rich kid, never seen, they call us' stuff like that and he said since he still alive it worked. And the boss stuck even after move to Ca.
I felt a need to say all that.
Now the ebay stove deal.
From what I see the guy kept and no case opened. I was thinking no case means no place to enter anything, and I'm not refunding something ebay told the store about but thinking about it, ebay really doesn't care if it gets back, only that we refund. And as refund goes thru ebay, guy can't say never got it.
So I think all I have to do is just refund from the cancel order on the drop down on the sold page and I'm dune with this?
Do you people agree?
I run a Mission so I have to trust you people and take you at your word[s]
Like the gang did with some old friends and which some of you bashed for trusting said friends.
As Flip would say 'the Mission made me do that'
Again, thanks to all and I'm gonna wait a bit to see what anybody thinks about of my idea.
I still have to find out if I can book ten flights in other peoples names.
Again thanks and doing the right thing and helping your fellow man Again, Mission.
