Bad traders

you must have missed this a couple weeks ago

How do you know?

Good point... had I banned him? I think I had... I'd deleted the thread because of the eBay link but could just ban him again so I don't have to bother monitoring his posts.

What a despicable little cunt nut.*

*Not the gaffer.

I banned him.

kthxbye

I did miss that yep.
Beggars belief doesn't it. Either he's very thick skinned or just thick.
WAC.

It's worse than that - he just doesn't give a shit.

Hello!

First sorry to hilarystone if he is very very very busy.

I have bought a chainring from him weeks ago and still not recieved anything. It can happen that it takes weeks, but that he isn't answering any of my pm's is kind of pissing me off.

I can see that this problem is not just mine.

So everybody please make him contact me in some way :-)!

Thanks in advance.

From back in September:

I am very sorry for my poor communication at present but I have been severely distracted over the past two to three months - my partner Irene has had a breakdown and is still in hospital...

So perhaps it's related?

seems he's having some personal issues a few months ago - he will get back to you im sure

:-/

I've bought a few things off him, always prompt and as described, so sure it'll work out

Even recently, though, I've found Hilary to be very helpful in his communication. Perhaps you should e-mail him directly. I did and he responded in about 2 days.

Spliid - I can vouch for good service from Hilary, and as you are still relatively new, you may not have seen previous posts from him. Get in touch, I'm sure it'll be sorted.
:)

There are a few threads on this already.
Sometimes he can be a bit hit and miss but I've always received my items and replies to PMs promptly. He will get get back to you.

I'll vouch for him too.

send a headset to me pretty quick.

couldn't complain tbh.

Thanks for the fast answers. Superb.
I'll wait then!

Thanks.

ive bought tons off him and hes always been prompt and helpful - I can definately vouch for him too

he even deliver my de rosa to my home without charging anything. top guy
I hope her partner recovers well

Hilary is a top bloke. Hundreds of people here will vouch for that

It seems like 'Hilary is great' is the opinion of everybody who didn't have a problem. However if you look at the Bad traders thread you can see this very question pop up every once in a while. I have found that dealing with Mr Stone has been one of the most frustrating experiences of my life. The only email he ever answered swiftly to was the one were I asked him for his paypal details. After that communication has been a nightmare.

So yeah, Hilary is great, if you can pick up your stuff yourself. If not, you'll have to hope for the best, as he doesn't give a shit about you as soon as you've paid him.

i dunno man
i think hilary's a straight up dude. i've never had problems ever, and he does present some tremendous bargains to the forum.
i think he deals in a huge amount of sales, and has shedloads of goods, and as such there's always room for screw-ups.
plus, with his apparent personal problems at the moment, as a supportive forum, we should give him as much of a break as possible.
word.

I think it's a bit off starting a thread titled like this.

here, here.

There HAS been a lot of complaints about him and it does seem he is having problems at home.

Maybe he should put selling on hold until he sorts his home life out.
