Let me chime in.
As you guys probably know, Geoff and I don't have a very good past. I still haven't forgiven him, because he has yet to apologize in person. I still talk with him here, treat him like a human being. But I'm no friend of his.
But like I would for anyone on this site, I stepped up to the plate when he asked for assistance claiming that he was probably going to get screwed/scammed. I took notes on everything he said, and then I PM's Profoundwill to get his side of the story. After hearing both, it was evidently Profoundwill's fault that he sent the wrong sub, poorly packaged, thus it was his responsibility to send all his stuff back to Geoff, pay for the big 3 kit, and pay for the sub to be shipped back to himself.
Things went alright, he finally complied and decided to do what I said was right. I am, after all, approaching this from an unbiased perspective that, if anything, would be more biased to the aid of Profoundwill given the bad past experience I had with Geoff. But then he decided that he couldn't ship first for Geoff. I began to explain Geoff's legitimacy, and I even suggested he use me as a middle-man so that I would hold Geoff's stuff until Geoff sent the sub out. The conversation ended abruptly, and here we are now.
We all know what needs to happen. Profoundwill needs to send Geoff the amp and speakers, pay for the big 3 kit and the shipping label for the sub, and Geoff needs to send the sub after everything arrives in the condition it left his house in. Until everything happens in that exact order, this thread will stay live. It's Profoundwill's fault, albeit an ignorant accident from the start, so there is no reason why Geoff should get burned from this.
Profoundwill, it didn't have to come to this. I know that you never meant for this to happen. I also know why you didn't want the sub back, since now you will be set back shipping for your sub, the amp/speakers, and you will have a beat up sub with mechanical noise to fix. You screwed yourself over on this one, and whether or not you meant it doesn't change the fact that it is your responsibility to consume the consequences of your actions. What you did by arguing with Geoff and I over it is now also added a ruined reputation on the leading car audio website to the plate. It will not be easy, if even impossible to regain legitimacy here. If you are a good guy though, which I know you are, you will do what's right, put the past behind you, and start over fresh.
It's a sad situation, really. I'm sorry that you are now out probably over $100, and will have a nearly blown sub. I'm also sorry that Geoff had to be put through this right before the competition that he missed out on last year for a similar reason iirc. This whole situation would have turned out a whole lot better if you wouldn't have argued and made excuses.
