PL-Reef is a carpente(custom stair builder) here in CT who has built stands for club members in the past. In fact he built my first stand for me and I was very pleased.
Four years ago I commissioned Jas Roman(PL-Reef) to build me a stand for my eight foot reef. I paid him a deposit of $325.(months in advance to his wife's paypal) Unfortunately, Jas had some issues at the time and couldn't come through on the job forcing me to build the stand myself.
When I asked for a refund of my $325. Jas told me he was no longer in a financial position to pay me back. I believe Jas was Vice President of the club at the time and was forced to step down. When I told him his personal situation didn't relieve him from his obligation to refund me the $325. he called me an inconsiderate friend and cut off all contact. He did not return my phone calls or pms.
Since I've noticed Jas attending club events again and making comments on various threads- mentioning "purchases," I've very nicely pm'd him to see how he was doing and ask if he was NOW at the point where he would refund my $325. I still have yet to receive a response.
I thought I would give everyone a heads up regarding my experience.
