You would think the Emmons company would be a little better at public relations rather than to slap the very people who buy their product. I can't believe the people who think because "They got their parts" in a timely fashion that Cor's problem should be swept under the rug. Good luck guys and I hope you break them from sucking eggs!

This is kinda like that Twighlight Zone episode with Jack Klugman as the wanna be pool champion, right? Well, it was nice having the "longest" post, but all things must come to an end, eh?

Cor, I haven't even read through the entire post here, but I hope you are well and that the issue resolves itself well. Now I know how the rest of you must feel like when you see the ZB post... (: By the way, keep the ZB-info coming.

All ZBest and more power to the Forum!

Now perhaps we'll get to the "core" of this problem.

This topic will be deleted when Cor's problem is resolved.

This thread, this group communication
will not be floating around forever taking the company to task for it's hard heartedness...

It will eventually disapear.

But for many the Lashley's apperant attitude toward Cor,
will not so easily fade away..
and they can NOT blame US,
nor blame Cor.

Didn't daddy ever explain : "Don't pee upstream from the well."

For whatever reasons... push was forced to become shove.

I am sure I am not alone in wishing this thread never got to 15 pages and 600 posts....
but it is not up to me.

No adequate explaination of why the man should not get his money back has ever been put forward.
So until the wheels of justice roll forward, or "Dawn breaks over Marblehead", we go on...

Oh, but were it not neccesary!

I can't say more, but I know, without a doubt, this is true.

If history is any indication, once things get too hot, they will give Cor his guitar. They'll claim it had nothing to do with this discussion. Their supporters will say, "See, they were going to do the right thing anyway".

No reason to think this is an insurance issue at all.

No viable reason put forward directly or by proxy to validate keeping the money.

Addressing the issue by proxy would have avoided, by hearsay, any issue a lawyer would have,
if there was one on retainer who advised silence.

Based on what I have seen, no reputable lwyer would likely advise anything but paying the man back.,

What little we may have seen by proxy was inverse to Cor and indeed all our efforts.

It should NEVER have been neccesary for John
to start this thread about Cor's problem.. PERIOD.

Maybe Cor was "just not liked" by the other side, because of mis-communication or some such,
but that still is no excuse.

And we have the other factors speaking against probity on the company's part. Some is hearsay, but some is not.
The BBB settlement a little ways back speaks to a pattern of people having disputes that need settling. This is on record.

anyone noticed,Cor is missing!!!

If I had an extra HDD I'd probably webspiderize the whole site.

I should have done that with Bobbe's site just for the b0b trial alone, but alas..

Basically they seem to apply :
Common sense
kindness vs nastyness
legal logic
avoidance of topic drift
and sometimes... not shooting a dead horse AGAIN

"We reserve the right to delete any message for any reason whatsoever, to deny service to individuals that we deem disruptive, and to terminate the service at any time without notice."

You may also notice many things stated as what if's or maybe's,
even though they may clearly be true from a common sense view,
just to avoid legal issues for the posters or for the forum per se.

a) Cor either has a steel in his living room,
and/or on consignment in his neigborhood

b) He has the cash in hand of what
HE put out in HIS currency.
If he sent 4,000 euros to get a $4,500 steel.
That's what he should receive back.

But if getting $4,500 in cash sent over gives him only 3,461.53€...
If bought at 1 to 1 exchange rate, [guessing at time frame rate]
It is now 1.3 to 1 so guestimating ( $4,500 / 130 = 34.6153€ x 100 ) 3,461.53€

If the delay in refund since he requested it,
or not getting the steel period was caused by the company and not Cor,
then that is an unfair loss for him.

I know the $ exchange rate has tanked since he paid for the steel in full,
I am sure it is much worse than when he asked for the refund.
though the exact amount difference I don't know.

But the time period above matches the worst fall in the diollar in 15 years.

He is better off getting the steel to sell over here.
(Since that is more likely than Ron Lashley ever paying in relation to the exchange rate.)

When that happens close the thread...

but only AFTER it is bird in hand.
