Last June I agreed to trade a Beotime for a Beogram with Llewelyn.

/forum/for-sale/beotime

February has arrived without sign of a Beogram or any kind of payment from Llewelyn. Yet he has had the Beotime since July 2011.

I've debated posting this for sometime. The first couple of people I had contact with from this forum (particularly Clevie, to whom I still owe a debt) were so nice that I still find it hard to believe that Llewelyn is screwing me so badly.

I guess this is my final attempt to shame him into doing something. And to warn others not to be as naive as me and believe that someone will live up to their end of an agreement, even in the seemingly welcoming environment of the Beoworld forum.

Much as I hate to join such a thread, I feel I have to comment that in my one experience with Llewelyn he was very generous and donated equipment without any request for reward. I suggest that, however unlikely this may sound to you, there is almost certainly some kind of misunderstanding here. Please talk to him and then update the post to let us know the result.

Have the same experience as Mark, Llewelyn took the effort buying an item for me on Ebay and we did an exchange with some parts he and I had. "Finally" I received my items which he has bought for me plus some extra's from his own collection🤒

I still have to pay him for the goods he bought for me on Ebay but no reply yet from my UK friend, he seems to be very busy. There must be a mistake KB1981, I'm sure...

Join the club link! In July 2011 I agreed to purchase 2 SP series cartridges from Llewelyn.

I quickly transferred the payment to him.  The items were to be posted within days. 7 months and 30 or so emails later and nothing has transpired - just excuse after excuse. Hours and hours were wasted on useless emails. Many months were wasted before I gave up and looked elsewhere to get my beloved Beogram back to shape. I feel totally screwed by him.

Llewelyn is very charming in all of his his emails and I really thought I was dealing with a decent person: WRONG!

I contacted a couple of BeoWorld moderators who tryed to help as best they could but in the end it was up to Llewelyn to redeem himself.

Beoworld is a wonderful place, just be wary of Llewelyn, very wary.

I believe in that time he may have moved house, so that will have caused some chaos. Maybe thats the reason for delays.

It must be one hell of a house move. And he's had plenty enough time to post on these forums in that time.

I'm all for giving someone a break - life happens to get in the way sometimes - but we're talking seven months here. I think I waited more than long enough before going public with this.

I have plenty of email correspondance in that time, and nothing to show but lots of empty promises.

I think it only fair that people are aware of my experience, whether their's was a better one or not. I'm pretty sure Brendan would have thought twice about dealing with Llewelyn had I posted this sooner. So maybe it will save someone else from throwing their money away too.

Sorry to hear guys!

My experience with Llewelyn is only positive and he was very helpfull to me.

He's a bit slow (very very slow) but eventually I got my bits and pieces and I still have to pay him, waiting for his reply😴 All the negative remarks from you, from me it's only positive🤒

I guess you're a bit more positive as you're the one that owes him money!

Forgive me for being negative but I'm not made of money. I tried to do someone a favour and I wish I'd just flogged it on eBay and banked the cash seven months ago.

What do you mean by that? He can have the money as soon as he gives me his bankdetails.

Not sure though if it's wise to mention names on Beoworld anyway. What do you expect us to do with Llewelyn?
