Is bad mouthing your competition the new norm in the kite industry and telling lies to make sales??? How many companies feel threated by my little distributing / retail company???

good friend and shop team rider sent me this today. What a way wreck a day with BS.

The Highlighted BLUE company name changes to whatever is in your area, and Ripsession Kiteboarding came up same with Doomwheels etc etc.

Either way, I dont sell the Montana from HQ, its only the Hydra and the Neo. so there is some BS going on.
If anyone is unsatisfied with their purchase from us, ill refund your money and consider. Make sure you have your proof of purchase.

What the hell he's selling a XR Buggy at 2x the price???

when you click on the PKC links you get this:

wtf, PKC has all the honest and coolest SOBs in the industry *said with love*. ebay should be under investigation.

blah blah blah, im done venting. time to sue.

how do we shut this D'uckers down. sorry i have kids so its my new word.

WTF indeed! It came up as "Doomwheels" for me. I think eBay is your first route to stop that a$$hat. They should shut that down immediately.

Unbelievable. Remember the days when Coke wasn't allowed to say they were better than Pepsi? What a world.

i see its taking over at: http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=11192

The item can be reported as a Listing Policy Violation on EBay. The link is on the right hand side of the listing.

We need to come together and shut down this psycho's scam operation for good! He is a worthless, lying POS and should be thrown off of eBay ASAP. He also needs to answer for stealing copywritten photos and copy from the Big Boys (HQ, PL, etc.)

First, capture and preserve his auction page with the location changing coding. Then notify eBay - but not before the slandered businesses pool together and get a good lawyer to go after this guy.

Heck, I (and I'm sure others) would even chip in to finally shut this guy's mouth. Maybe you guys can hold a kite gear raffle to cover legal fees. I will definitely buy some tix - make it for a used, but coveted 15m Syn or some other nice item!

Don't waste anymore time or energy with this punk...Do whatever it takes....BUT DO IT NOW!!!!

I've got to agree with lad. This guy is making the power kiting community look bad. And given the tight knit nature of the community, I'd be unable to believe it if we weren't all willing to help deal with the issue.

I agree 100%! Count me in to help in any way possible!

Funny how people on hear just recently voiced how they have been treated by Rip'
http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=11114&p...

I doubt Doomwheels kite sales are going to go down do to the recent lies. :duh:
Another swing and a miss for poor jonesband ! :singing:
Don't lose any sleep ( at work ) about it tonight! ;-)

I reported all 3 listing mentioned here. They're slanderous of all the dealers who post here. As far as I can tell the dealers who post here are a good bunch of folks.

Philip

This guy ain't right.

I reported him under Fraudulent listings....

I reported as well. and offered $1.50 for the montana...he declined haha

reported

KITERS UNITED!!!

Couldn't figure out how to offer him the steam off my poop ...

Dino you're next

im starting to think maybe its got some good to it, free advertising for the ELITE dealers / distributors.

EXACTLY what I have been thinking.

This nob knows so little about good business and repeat customers that he just can't figure out how such a group of " GOOD GUYS " can possibley exist.

He doesn't see that if you ARE a good guy even negetive attention such as his ends up to your benifit.

Maybe instead of a good sellers list we need a " worthy of Jonesband's list " of dealers and make it easier for him to constantly switch up his advertisements to your sites ! :wee:

I'll just say I'm HONORED to consider myself friends with the Tang/Charlotte/Jim/Jonesband list.

it sounds like the guy is from another country, cant possibly be from the US, his words would be, not so overseas
must be why he sells cheep copy's:alien:

This guy is a real joker. I think that the buy it now price of $1500 for a 7m Montana is the kicker. This guy sells a whole bunch of other stuff like camera's and ink, etc and my guess is everything he's got is counterfeit.

The sick thing is that he's got great feedback including quite a bit of his knock-off kite gear. I don't see any actual HQ or Flexifoil product that he's sold though. I bet he doesn't even have the stuff he's listing.

Newest twist.

He dropped his slander sale.

Now he is trying to claim kiteskating.com is all wrapped up in this.

Another dead end Jonesy :singing:

Just come and meet us all at NABX with your knock off gear.

now it says I lost the auction , it ended w/ a buy it now.
Right.... 1500 bucks for a 800 dollar kite ... sure ya did!


He must think we are as stoopid as him .
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha:singing:
complaints filed = 3

wow, this guy just doesn't stop does he?

paranoid schizo maybe? Everyone is out to get him? It's our fault he is failing at the "AMERICAN DREAM" he longed for. Now he is left with the brutal reality that there are not enough stupid people to feed him, or most of the stupid people are smarter than him. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Now thats' funny

this really sucks because if you go to the buyers listing ... he's actually sold a few kites. they all have been pleased, and happy too. they could be make believe but thats still shows sales.

talking with the local guys here, its time to sue for "loss of business" from fine dealers on pkf
