SO, I gotta ask, not to give anyone a bad time, but because I am generally uninformed on the subject.

Person A, can take Person B to court (and presumably hope to win) because person A paid for an ILLEGAL good and person B did not provide said ILLEGAL goods? SO basicaly what you are saying is I could sue a hooker (in Ca) for not providing a service I paid for, or I could sue the local Cocain dealer for not providing me with the powder I paid for?

I know the court system is a joke from time to time but has it really gotten that bad?

AGAIN, I am not trying to start anything. I really just would like to know if this is indeed true in the states. I am also not saying that owning an illigal gas can is anywhere NEAR as bad as the other referances I used. Heck, I own 9 Scepters as well, and fully believe (and hope one day again) they should be legal.

This really is just a question about sueing or taking legal action agaisnt someone for not providing an illegal product/service.

Thanks.

Cheers,

I am not aware that a gasket for a gas can is illegal. Also the can that is being spoken about is not illegal in Arizona or other states, just some states. I just bought parts and another Scepter can from a dealer. What is being talked about is the failure of Monte to even respond to people he owes money or items to. I for one would most likely be satisfied if he would just man up and tell people what is going on and hopefully things could be worked out. Seems like Monte has priors for actions similar and he should stop.

I was speaking for the can itself, not the gaskets. I should have been more clear.

As for them being legal to buy in some states, I was completely unaware of this. It was my impression that had been outlawed to purchase in the states, not just some of them. Thanks for the info, guess I should have researched more.

I realize what was done by the person who took $$ and didn't deliver is defiantly wrong, and I wasn't questioning that. I was just wondering about pursuing a legal action for a purchase of an illegal (wrongly assumed in this case) item.

Thanks for clearing me up on the cans. I need to go to Arizona now. :smiley_drive:

So, in my continuing quest to find out where Monte and my very paid for MFC's had gone, I had sent emails to every email address I could find which resolved to the wayward Mr. McDonald. Today I received an avalanche of the below responses from one address. Did anybody else who had reached out to Monte get these? I just want my MFC's!

Autoreply...

Thanks for your order email or order.

If this email is regarding a question I'll get back to you in a day or so.

Thanks!

I got the same thing. I wonder if he was having computer problems?

 

[Ludedude]

He's had that same auto-responder on his paypal email address for months.

In his profile, under "statistics" it says last activity was 8-16-10.
That means he logged in on that date right?

Edit- Hey check this out- http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1367358451

It's a facebook page for monte mcdonald. I'm not saying this is the OP in this thread, but the FB page and his stats on expo both say he's from santa cruz, has a VW syncro and is a member of the San Francisco paramedic association. Maybe too coincidental?

 

[kevinofcamelot]

I was going to order till I saw this post sometime ago.. Why hasnt anyone looked him up on people search or intelius, get his address and show up at his door?

 

[chimivee]

Just wondering if anybody has heard from Monte or has any new info...?

 

[Mugless]

I got his info to file a court claim.
I just left him a phone message to give him one last chance.

Wow, too bad to hear. I picked up my cans from his house a week or two after the shipment came in. I did see the whole (or at least most of it) shipment in his yard too. He surely didn't seem like the type that would take off and run, but you never know. I never recieved my gaskets either. It just seems odd since he was forth coming with his personal info (address, phone number, etc) for pick-up. Something must have happened to him.

My thoughts exactly.

The can police got him, poor bugger.

Sorry to hear of the issues with the group buy, but good to find out about DSTactical. Going to order a nozzle and a few gaskets for the three cans I picked up locally.
