Also the name of his 'new' company would be appreciated :) |

I wonder, too, why the SlikStik site is still up, accepting orders of any kind. A close friend of mine mentioned in passing the other evening that he was looking to buy some joy handles from SS. (He purchased a CP from them a few years back- 5-1/2 months and many mistakes which I ended up helping him correct.) He had no idea SS was having issues so the problem was avoided. How many other orders like these are being sent to SS that they have no intention of honoring? Threads like these are necessary for those people who take the time to do a simple google search before ordering. Not everyone does that, so I again question why their website is still up, beyond the obvious answer of obtaining free money from unwary consumers. |

You know what, shardian makes a good point and since I don't think that a knock-down-drag-out-full-on-thread would be productive, perhaps Christian or someone from SlikStik could create, and immediately lock, a thread indicating what is actually going on (or maybe saint could post it somewhere else). Everybody has heard a lot of different things ... in this thread alone (and ignoring the skeptics like me): - Christian was only an employee of SlikStik - Christian is no longer with SlikStik - Christian is fulfilling SlikStik orders out of his own pocket - SlikStik is sending orders out - Orders have been fulfilled by MAMERoom, but appear to have been shipped from SlikStik - SlikStik is still around - SlikStik is still running auctions - SlikStik is still accepting orders for parts on their website As it stands, we have some uninvested old-timers who have "seen this before" saying the same old stuff, with some invested new folks saying stuff and an invested (to some degree, degree not known) vendor saying stuff. Everything else aside, some degree of clarification would go a loooong way in this case. I don't think that hearing about Christian's new venture is all that important. |

Look guys, M37R01D just wants his panel and is being hopeful that it's going to happen. There's a lot of history here, and let's face fact--it ain't all good. I, for one, am waiting. I, too, was promised a panel to be delivered to me in the coming week, so I'll wait and see if it's delivered. We can all sit and argue that it will and/or won't be delivered, and it gets us nowhere. It's disappointing for me to see people attacking those who simply want to believe they are getting their product. I hope that M37R01D won't get banned. I feel that it's unnecessary, and many of his confrontations on here were the result of personal attacks and/or insults. (Correcting someone's punctuation and/or spelling is, IMHO, the lowest of the low attacks, and is totally irrelevant to the issues here) Keep in mind that he (like me) already feels like he's 99% on his way to being "idiot of the year" for being (supposedly) taken. Anyone in this position is going to be quite a bit defensive. As for Mameroom and the other guys posting here in SS/Christian's defense, they have a right to their opinion, and perhaps there are things they know that we don't. I have no doubt that Christian is trying to make amends by paying those who supply him goods as well as getting panels to those who have screamed the loudest. To be fair, this is what any of us would do in the same situation. I also think he's at least a sharp enough guy to know that it can't simply end there... if he wants to turn this thing around, he'll have to keep the ball rolling and make amends with everyone that SS has offended... not just a chosen few. As for me, I'm sitting on the fence and have been since he promised to deliver my panel to me recently. I've waited for 7 months, so I can wait a few more weeks and hold back my judgement until then. Without a doubt this will solidify me one way or the other. If my panel doesn't arrive, then I'll know what the focus of my free time will be until I get satisfaction in one way or another. If, however, my panel is delivered and he continues to try to make amends with others, then I'll stop interfering with his attempts to do so, and I'll also throw in the truth--how he handled this situation, the condition of my panel, etc. Hopefully this will help him. Anyway, all I ask of everyone is to try and be patient with those of us who are personally and financially involved in this fiasco. It's not easy. We want to believe one thing, yet there's an overwhelming history pointing in the other direction. We know that. Believe me--we know it. But for now, give us a chance to see if we can get our panels. |

I was right there with you until the end CheffoJeffo... I was seriously considering buying from SS. I have never built a cab and the process is daunting. I just didn't have the cash for it. It looks though that if I did I *might* get my CP, but I could also be talking to the NJ AG. Christian has been the mouthpiece of this company (both for good and bad) and if he starts up a company I think it would behoove us all to know what that company is. If say Mameroom messes up one order and it's delayed by a month, no biggy, all the other customers make up for that one deficiency. If Christians new company misses one order than I would think it's Slick Stick V 2.0. Just my noob 2 cents. |
