Crazy Brite cause the person I bought it from, supposedly new, gave me a 24V power supply and the leds are 12V. So to say in less then 10 minutes the 24V power supply overheated the LEDs and burned them out. The heat was so intense that it melted the inner light tube and also caused the uniseal on the top to leak. So had a water mess .... so basically the only thing good on this unit is the housing. Very upset and frustrated as this is not a cheap unit. I will give the seller a chance to makeup for it somehow. Same person who wanted coral and never responded back, atleaast have the courtesy to tell me you don't want it. GSP flats

Now seller has removed himself from FB and Messenger. His name is Taylor Golden. He read all my messages I was sending him and he never responded.

I once dealt with a person selling snails. He said he would meet me at Bay Area Boulevard and would text me when he was 10 minutes away. I waited for the phone call and when the person selling the snails called he said he was at Bay Area Boulevard. He said I guess the guy buying the snails is a no show. I ask him to wait and I would be there in 10 minutes. I went to meet him and was in a hurry, damn near hit a car. I drove to the meeting place and he was nowhere to be found. I called the snail seller and said he was already by University of Houston. He didn't wait or call to let me know anything. Then he kind of makes a joke about the situation. He said he didn't need my money but now he's complaining about loosing his money. Karma has a way of getting even.

Look on your cell phone big Rick. You won't have to look to hard. If you like I can post our conversation like you did. Please let me know. Not trying to get into a pissing match, just saying how you treated me. That's all.

Post it.... are you the scammer... u think I'm gonna drive an hour to deliver you $20 in snails. I was supposed to meet someone else for 10x which would have been worth it,THEY backed out, not my problem. I was trying to save you a trip from clear lake to Cypress..

Not to mention I had a lot of issues going on at that time, which a lot of members know.

How about you become a MARSH member and ill give you some. Sheesh.

You were the one who insisted I come to bay area.. I replied that person flaked out and said I could meet you downtown or UofH. U sat at bay area.... 14 min later I said I was on my way to downtown.. :noidea:

First off, I'm not a scammer and don't appreciate being called one. You also left out some of the conversation. You can read our texts and I stated what happened that's all. I did not insist you meet me at bay area. You text me and said you would be coming this way and would I like to meet. I said that would be great. I waited for your call. Didn't get a call till you said I didn't show up. I ask you to wait 10 or 15 minutes and you agreed. I drove as fast as I could not to waste any more of your time. You decided to leave without telling me. I guess with you leaving without having the curtesy to let me know is the same as the other person leaving Facebook adds not letting you know. I appreciate the offer but I don't need your snails. This is my last message, I believe I said what I feel is right. Thank you, Tracy You have my number, you are more than welcome to discuss anything with me.
