Frankly, to me, this sort of thread shouldn't have been made in the first place. If it really is so bad, contact a moderator. Even if everything gets resolved, a thread like this hurts Vapman's reputation, which will make it harder for people to trust his opinions and make people less likely to buy from him. Think about the things you've gone through in life and remember times where you weren't reliable because of this.
Sorry, I can't agree with you in your point -- transparency should be an example. I think you just read the TL;DR version of my text. If you're a friend of vapman and he's a nice and friendly guy on Earbuds thread and has a good experience doing business with him, good. There are a lot of users with a successful transaction with him. But this is not my point. Also, you should look to my side of history as well.
I did not create this thread as a history intentionally to denigrate the image of vapman. I've just shown only facts of my case and vapman's actions, I have presented all evidence since USPS (faked customs form, tracking) and prove the item has never been sent after 1 month even with the false hope of receiving it and suddenly the same item of our trade opened to negotiation before my case be resolved/finished. I haven't words to describe how wrong that looks like
If you read the links which I've attached in my first post, you'll see I always wanted to resolve this in a sweet way
multiple times. There is a huge difference between you tell the truth and after that try to fix that and just lie and feed this lie for about 1 month and you need to discover the truth behind of this whole and complicated situation by yourself. Also, the payment I should've received was denied by his bank. The patience has a limit and I swear I tried every minute resolve that in the best way before creating this thread after I've seen that screenshot of Etymotic and my payment denied I had to alert people and users of head-fi, this is not wrong in any way...

Some goods news: Apparently after this thread now vapman told me via PM he will buy a new Etymotic on Amazon (?) and after that he'll send that asap via Priority Mail and provide a real tracking number. Also, he apologized here on this thread (edit: he hasn't apologized after I was manipulated and deceived just talked about personal problems*).
Atm, I'm waiting for real actions over just words, but I have the feeling this is in the right way now. I hope the others with similar problems will finish this inconvenience in a sweet way as well.
