    Miked's admission to errors shows his Integrity. I can't say the same for the Admin who took my post down. I spent nearly 2 hours compiling the evidence since this has been an ongoing episode for the past 2+ months. For those who wish me to recompile the evidence against said Buyer, I hesitate to go through this again until I can get a guarantee by the Admin that my post WILL NOT be haphazardly brushed aside without some sort of review. I suspect the Admin had no problem deleting the post because that's simply a push of a button. On the other hand, the honorable thing to do which is to admit a mistake, I haven't heard a peep out of the Admin claiming any responsibility for that. To the Admin that just recklessly deleted my post, it's harder for you to admit you were wrong, isn't it? I'm still waiting for a response to my ticket....

    Kane I don't know you from Adam but I did read the entire review as I frequent the buyers section.....The only problem I saw with your argument was that you signed off on the amount that they gave you.......As far as their service it seemed haphazard and not as smooth as advertised......I am not saying you are wrong in your review just that I see it from the business owners side as well........Either way I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors and hoping you can find a buyer you are comfortable with

    And yes, Mikeinreco, everything was taken into consideration before taking the time to post the review. Although, my explanation for that was, (and a poor excuse it may be, in a few people's eyes,) is that I was in a rush to my next appointment and didn't have time to look the PO over thoroughly. It doesn't negate the fact that quite a few of the recycled items were priced less than HALF of what was advertised here at SMF. If a person advertises a price here at SMF, you would hold them to it, wouldn't you? It doesn't matter if I'm walking in off the street, or a lifelong member here at SMF.

    Or would it?

    And that's what I want to make people aware of, that you will get paid less than half of the value, unless you claim online pricing, which IMO is bad practice, either way.

    It also doesn't negate the fact, that the owner of said company promised he would correct the situation AFTER he found out I was and had been an SMF member for the past almost 5 years, then all of a sudden, his tone changed and I can actually show you the email where he promised me a check, AND the updated PO, to make up for the difference in the rip-off/robbery. That may sound harsh and unnecessary, but I'll stick to my guns....I was freaking robbed by this company.

    His prices are out on the internet (outside of SMF) and to my knowledge are the same as shown on SMF.
