The number "425-248-9978" works. I got his voicemail, so keep trying that number.
Old     (wake1012)      Join Date: Jan 2007       03-01-2007, 5:05 PM Reply

Its hard to believe that some of these posts actually say maybe its not a good idea to jump to conclusions and judge this josh guy. "maybe theres an honest explanation for all this". Now dont get me wrong everyone deserves a second chance. People make mistakes and this community of wakeboarders is a D**M good one. This guy had his chance. The money was obviously recieved the board was never sent and the guys phone is mysteriously not working or hes just not ansering. Come on lets be real here. I wish you the best paul and hope that you find your money, board, and or josh. If you dont mind me asking though. What marius were you buying that cost 500 dollars. Platinum? Package board? I only ask cause bro if its just the regular marius with no boots or nothin 06 or 07 He ripped you off the back

If this is true, and this goes unresolved,I Hope this guy doesn't have the misfortune of running into any of the WW contingent from our neck of the woods down the line.

Maybe someone should start a thread of things you absolutely never do when purchasing over the internet. Sorry Paul I would say you are better off chalking this one up as a learning experience. You could try calling the local authorities where he lives sometimes they can be helpful. I would talk to them and have receipts and e-mails ready to fax, they may be able to help.

You should at the very least file a report with the local authorities, just to get it on record.

Can I nominate Josh Boyd for thread of the month on his Marius Platinum for sale thread? That sure was a doozy!
Old     (deuce)      Join Date: Mar 2002       03-01-2007, 8:34 PM Reply   
I don't know how you check this stuff, but I'm in for $5 to one of our online vendors to get Paul n new deck.....get 80 people to match that and a only line vendor to give WW their cost & I bet he is compensated with a Marius Platinum.

Just tossin it in there but the post office or ups could've just "misplaced" the board, its happened to me and you wont know until they find it and realize their mistake in which they contact you. We are going all gung-ho on this Josh dude and for all we know he really could have sent the board and gotten arrested or hurt or something. Best of luck and if you dont hear back from him I'll pitch in the $5 for the cause

Someone(Joe U / Dave W) want to take responsibility with a PayPal account, I will forward my money tomorrow.

Hard for me to believe that we can't get this kid a deck. After JonnyV's post....I can safely assume Josh is strung out.....and his Valentines treat for the wife was really just slamming a teenier........

I apologize in advance to Josh & his family if I am off base.....but..........

Dave,
This post started in February, I nominate it post of the month.

1st prize: new board
Old     (wakemb)      Join Date: Mar 2006       03-01-2007, 9:50 PM Reply   
I will collect the money via WU. When all the money is collected I will buy a new board for Paul.

J/K

I can chip in some cash (it is CDN and not worth much).

I understand that sometimes life tosses you a curveball and you have to deal with it. He is in hard times, he owes someone else a buttwad of money. He could at least answer his phone and let Paul know the situation. Just say, Hey, I am in a world of hurt over here, sorry this is all messed up, lets work something out. Does not take much to push the "answer" key on a cell phone. His phone number is now on a public forum and if enough people call it and harrass him (not suggesting that, but then he will have to change his phone number or service provider costing him money which he obviously does not have. Or he will not be able to afford a new number or cell carrier and will have to do without. Just like Paul is doing without a board. You can try and be the nice guy for only so long, then revenge can feel better then getting what you were owed.

I've got a 06 140 Marius that you can have, I know you were looking at the 134 but its all I got. Unlike others I believe in karma & if you take my board it simply means more Christmas presents in 2007, woo hoo!! Seriously though, Paul its yours if you want it. Unless your scamming us all....which brings me to another point, what if Paul Naney IS Josh Boyd & pulling the ol' double whammy. I'd probably still give you the board for being a sneaky bastard.

Tell you what Paul, if this guy is in AZ, let us know where he is at. We are down here for the winter and will do what we can for you. If I can't help you out, I'll offer up my board in return. I got your back all the way man!!!

This kid is going to end up with like 5 boards. Not to be the hard azz, but look at it this way. We've all been scammed one way or another and you take this $120 lesson and get smarter. That's my 2 cents.

true Ryan, but he's just a kid...I mean he saved his bday and xmas money for new gear. This kid has his priorities straight! With that said I'll pitch in for a new board, this thread alone is worth at least $15

Instead of giving him a board, I like benjamin's idea and all sending him like $10 so he can buy a brand new board of his choice.

Paul, I'll send the thing to ya. 1) Is it the right size? 2) Will you use it? 3)You've seen the power of WW, don't let us find out you sold it 3 days later & 4) The board is used, its seen better days. It has one crack along the edge that has been repaired. As I look at it now, I also see a small spot of bird poo (small bird though).

BH....keep the board on hold, let's see what JoeU has up his sleeve....and if we can finance a 134 plat version... If not, the poopy board may be just the ticket!

I'm pretty impressed by everyone's generosity and attitude. Steppin' up to help a kid get back on the water after he's scammed by a fellow WWer is too cool. Ya'll deserve a round of applause.

Ben - I think nominating someone to collect funds via PayPal and then ordering the board to ship directly to Paul is the way to go. I think Joe Umali is working on something.

Hey paul I have about 3 boards and one of them is 134 marius from last year. It has some sun fade but its in good shape. Its yours if you want it just pay the shipping and let karma catch up with josh. My names david bro. You can email me at shredwake@hotmail.com or gimmie a call 559-707-2593

Paul we at innov8 action sports feel bad about what happened and we know this is not how the wakeboard community is, we dont treat each other like this, so all of us at www.innov8actionsports.com would like to offer you this. CWB wakeboards is also helping us out with this, so props to CWB for there help!!

If you do not receive your money back or the board you bought does not get shipped to you, then we would like to offer you an 07 CWB Marius 134cm free of charge. We feel bad that you worked hard and saved your money to buy a board and got ripped off, so we are offering you this board, if all that was said is true and you do not get your money back or the board shipped.
Let me know.

Props to everyone helping this kid out!! I thought the guys on Pirate 4x4 were nice for helping the guy out, but this site continues to amaze me with how selfless everyone is. I myself know how hard it is to scrape up the money for something you really want and then get screwed out of it. I hope this all gets worked out and I'm in for a few bucks too if thats what is decided on.

once again, a small community steps up and takes care of business. props to everyone out there who volunteered to help a fellow rider out. this is why wakeboarding (and wakeworld) is one of the greatest communities out there. thanks to CWB for stepping up as well. because of this, my next board purchase will be a CWB. I am sure they will have at least one board that will fit my riding style.
and to Josh, I sure hope you have a very, very good excuse for your misbehavior. karma is a biotch my friend.

I knew I was involved in a company that has their stuff together but this is awesome!! Big ups to everyone! Paul, enjoy your ride and if you ever find yourself in Central Ca, come out for a ride!

If I were a betting man, I'd say the culprit was either a Finch or North American Sparrow. You take that & then bake it in the sun & you get a quasi perma-poo.
