Hello 914world, in the member vender section RJMII provided a service for custom emblems for our 914’s. Jim fell upon hard times and was unable to fulfill orders that were prepaid. A&Pgirl since bought Jim’s company and made a promise to honor all prepaid orders but went back on her word shortly after. This never sat right with me, as I felt bad for members who were basically SOL. I asked Jim last January if I could help out and make things right with the 20 some members who already prepaid but received nothing. My uncle who owns a machine shop is a very generous person, agreed to this worthy cause as a favor for me. He donated material and labor for free, a few weeks later I had a small box of emblems. Early February, I mailed this box to Jim’s house for final polishing and for him to mail these out to their rightful owners. Since then, I heard no word from Jim so I started to PM some members on here to see if they ever received their emblems. AP girl refused to supply me the list of people who got shorted, and she stated that I violated some non-compete contract between her and Jim.

I was trying to do a nice thing by taking the initiative of making these for the people that already paid but got shafted. Moreover, trying to end this nightmare and restore peace on our site.
My question to you guys, has anyone received one of these emblems recently? I never received a list from Jim of people that prepaid.

Jim seems easier to find on Facebook than here lately. He lives in Oklahoma so given today's natural disaster, I'd give him some time to respond.

As for violating a non-compete, bad boy! No cookie!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Kudos to you for picking up where Kroger Girl dropped the ball left off, and doing the standup thing. Even if it wasn't your responsibility to do so. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Timothy,

Thanks for doing this. I know Jim has had a hard time recently. As for the "No Compete" BS, that B**** can go Fuch herself.

She made a deal and did not keep up to the agreement. You did this out of kindness without asking for money.

Thank You!

Now, I hope shipping comes soon... But I waited this long...

I PM'd A&P Girl more than a week ago to see if she was making emblems and have yet to receive a response. If she isn't making them, but Tim is making them for free, then who is competing with who?

Kroger girl openly decided that despite her aknowledgement of buying Jim's backlog, she wasn't going to honor it. It is all in posts here on the forum. She showed her colors, and now Timothy is stepping up and showing his. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Me too. Andy, I've always respected how, even though you certainly have the ability to intervene, you let the moderators do their own thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That was very cool of you to pick up on this. If you get stuck with either a 3.0 emblem or a 914-6 emblem, or both let me know and I'll pay you for them.

You definitely went above and beyond the call of duty on this one.

Back in Nov of 2012 I PM'd APGirl asking for a price and delivery date. I had not prepaid. She told me she wasnt set up yet and I never heard anything back. I wanted to purchase a 914-6 badge. Let me know if you end up with availablity. Very cool of you to take this on.

Thanks,

Brian

I'd like a 914-6 and 3.0 badge as well, but I doubt if A&P will ever make them or that I would buy them from her now.

I have no horse in this race either, other than to say that Kroger is a well-respected Cincinnati company. I do not believe that they are connected to A&P, or any affiliated agent. We shop with them almost daily and have never found that they take our money without supplying us what we have paid for.
