Kasumi Barski is a Bitch for 3USD

  • Kasumi Barski: This post is in no way a reflection against Nimrod Yaffle, He has at least tried to help me. A few weeks ago I bought the furniture kit that didnt include the textures by mistake, Not realizing they were two different things. I first contacted Joseph Brooks offer to buy the texture pack at what HIS Split would be. He refused, told me to talk with Nimrod to get a refund. Well since the furniture pack is full perm why would Nimrod refund me? He also tried to talk with Joseph who said he wouldnt do it either. I find this VERY disappointing and BAD Customer service on his part. I would have simply paid the 499L which would be his 50% cut on this product for the texture pack, which honestly I would be paying more than whats listed.... Since I already bought the premium furniture pack at 778L .... But still Joseph has refused to come to an understanding and make a customer happy. So this is my negative rating post. Good luck to you Joseph
  • Joseph Brooks: Kasumi, Just for you I have listed the Refraction Textures separately. They are available here: http://www.slexchange.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=752596
  • Of course, you *could* purchase them in this combo set where you will get them for a deal price. Please note that in the description of the Combo-set I do value my refraction textures separately as being L$3000.
  • Kasumi Barski: You just dont get it do you?! I wanted the combo pack, I made a mistake and I bought the wrong one. I did not realize I had til recently. What I want is the texture pack at the combo price, But you are so unwilling to make a customer happy by selling me that refraction textures at the combo price of 499L ... Im not going to pay 3000L for something your offering at a lower price. You just do not do good business. Im sorry. But you want me to spend more money than I already have, Even me willing to pay 499L EXTRA for the textures but no.
  • Joseph Brooks:
  • Sweetheart - According to Nimrod Yaffle you purchased the Furniture Package a month ago, it took you a month to realize you purchased the wrong set? Either way I do not control his products, nor can I offer you any type of refund for products that you buy from Nimrod Yaffle.
  • For the last time - I AM NOT GIVING YOU THE TEXTURES FOR L$499.
  • Please stop bitching and complaining about me saying NO. I'm sorry if you feel this is me being rude, but it's me sticking by my own policy. I do not have the time, nor the effort to offer every single person who purchased Nimrod's listing a side-deal for the textures. I'm not going to make an exception for anyone.
  • The reason we made this listing was so people could benefit from having both products. Simple as that.
  • I ask that all my customers please be aware what they are purchasing before doing so. It's common sense.
  • Nimrod Yaffle: OMG you guys are nuts
  • Kasumi Barski: Yea well, Im glad that people can see just how crappy you do business.. Yes I didnt realize I bought the wrong one, because I am busy constantly doing custom work. Most people would have been more than happy to help with my request, I dont see what the big deal is honestly... Nimrod already got his cut of the combo pack ... even more ... Im trying to get the textures I should have gotten when I bought the pack. But its fine, since you want to be such a scrooge about it *shrugs* All I can say is I hope other people will read this and see how unwilling you were to help just one person.
  • Joseph Brooks: Kasumi, at this point you are just harassing me into lowering the price of my textures. I am not going fall for your bullying act. Please stop posting in this discussion unless you have purchased this set.
  • Joseph Brooks: Further more, I do help customers. Just in the past few days for this set alone I offered one customer a custom white refraction texture set so he could use the color slider in SL to customize his own colors, and I sold one set in-world to another customer who didn't have an SLexchange account.
  • I just refuse to offer the textures for L$499.
  • Kasumi Barski: I am not trying to bully you. I am trying to make you see reason. I paid 778 for the furniture pack already, I am offering to pay 499L for the texture pack I would have gotten when I bought the combo pack ... So in theory here, Im paying 1277L for this combo pack. Nimrod already said he wouldnt refund me for the first pack I bought. I dont see why you are being so difficult with this. Your not lossing out on anything here, your getting your 50% cut from out of this if I were to buy the combo pack..... You aren't making ANY Sense. Period.
  • Joseph Brooks: Excuse me, I said No. I don't see what's so difficult for you to understand about NO.
  • I am not selling my textures for L$499 anywhere. Not here, nor to you. If you want the textures separately you will need to pay L$3000, or you can buy this combo-set for L$998.
  • These are your only options to obtaining these textures.
  • Kasumi Barski: Your just a tool.
  • Joseph Brooks: Honey, you're the one with the complex.
  • Joseph Brooks: You're constant bullying inworld, and then bringing it to this thread is making me less willing to fulfill your needs. As a mater of fact, I do not want you to buy these textures nor any other textures created by me. To me it's like you buying a jar of Grape Jelly at Walmart, then a month later going to Kmart and asking for a jar of Peanut Butter for half off because my advertisement offers them together for nearly the same price you bought the grape jelly. That shit doesn't fly in the real world, nor does it here with me.
  • Kasumi Barski: Yea ok dude. Thats not even the same thing, Its like going to walmart buying a jar of jelly thats supposed to come with a can of peanut butter at 50% coming back and saying hey I forgot the peanut butter, Can I get it still? And 99% You better beleive they would give it to me because THATS customer service!
  • Joseph Brooks: Kasumi, No it isn't.
  • Nimrod Yaffles product and mine are completely different. We are two different vendors. You purchased from him, not from me.
  • We, me and you, have NEVER done business before. You are coming to me with an issue saying "Oops, I meant to buy yours, can you give it to me for cheaper?" The answer is NO.
  • Kasumi Barski: Whatever man, Your a tool with absolutely NO customer service skills what so ever, To be honest your textures are crap anyway.. Ive been to your store wouldnt waste my money ... But these are halfway decent textures. But I wouldnt spend a single dime on you now. So buhbye .. I hope everyone reads this and sees just how uncustomer friendly you are. Have a great night.
  • Joseph Brooks: Just discussing this with you two nights in a row is proof that I have excellent customer service. I have responded to your concern and while the outcome is not to your satisfaction I have still provided a solution to your situation.
  • "Good Customer Service" doesn't always mean that the business folds to the customer's demands.
  • Kasumi Barski: Right, Good Customer Service means when both the customer and the business leave the table feeling satisfied with the resolution. Ive worked in major cell phone companies customer service for 10 years. What you have provided is no solution. Its either I walk away or you charge me an extreme amount for what would have been a reasonable priced item. You have not provided "Good Customer Service"
  • Joseph Brooks: I'm sorry you feel this way. Please feel free to take part in the phone survey on your way out the door.
  • Kasumi Barski: blah blah blah
  • Joseph Brooks: Now that's just spamming my discussion again.

Chat with Leo

  • Leo: Hello Wrestling_Hulka, what can I do for you?
  • Wrestling_Hulka: Hey Leo! I just read your message in the concierge group and I just wanted to know if as a member of the concierge group I should be looking forward to more announcement and other concierge related topics coming from the Concierge Information Group in the near future? Like I said in the chat there it seems that the Blog.SecondLife.com is the best way for the concierge team to get messages out to us.
  • Leo: We never use that group for announcements - exactly what you said - the blog is the place for any official announcements
  • Wrestling_Hulka: Is there a possibility we can get a change to the charter for this to be a discussion group among concierge users? :)
  • Wrestling_Hulka: And for it to be clear on the chatter that the best place to get the latest info is on the blog?
  • Wrestling_Hulka: charter* ;x
  • Leo: Quite frankly it's EXACTLY for enquiries like earlier about the terrain textures. But it is is YOUR interests to keep the irrelevant stuff to a minimum. I often use that group as an early warning indicator of grid problems. And I can't do that if I have to keep it closed because of all the social noise
  • Leo: But regarding announcements - ALWAYS the blog is the place, not any inworld group
  • Leo: Heh fair question, I'll have to think abtou that
  • Wrestling_Hulka: :P
  • Wrestling_Hulka: Good day sir!

This person wastes my time over 2USD

  • Kasumi Barski: (Saved Wed Jun 18 17:34:31 2008) But Ive already purchased the furniture part of this combo, I thought they were the same thing. Is there anyway I could just buy the textures from you?
  • Joseph Brooks: I offer the textures separately in my store for 350L per set.
  • Joseph Brooks: the only way to get them together is to purchase the combo-package
  • [15: 50] Kasumi Barski sighs
  • Kasumi Barski: So since I paid full price for the full furniture set, there isnt anyway you would sell me the full texture set at some kind of discount... even tho now... there is a combo pack ...
  • Joseph Brooks: Ask the creator of the Furniture Pack for a refund then purchase the combo pack.
  • Kasumi Barski: Ok that makes no sense, thanks anyway ....
  • Joseph Brooks: I'm not going to give you my textures for 200 dollars. I'm sorry.
  • Kasumi Barski: but thats how much you would get if I bought the combo pack...
  • Joseph Brooks: No it's not!
  • Kasumi Barski: I dont see what the big deal is.
  • Kasumi Barski: ok
  • Joseph Brooks: My percentage is not the difference between the two sets
  • Kasumi Barski: How much fromt he combo back do you get?
  • Kasumi Barski: I will pay the commishion you get off that
  • Kasumi Barski: Im not asking for them for 200L
  • Joseph Brooks: And I would want you to purchase the combo-pack on Slexchange anyways because it increases my ranking.
  • Kasumi Barski: I will pay what you get off the combo pack
  • Joseph Brooks: I don't understand why you can't ask nimrod yaffle for a refund then just repurchase on SLexchange.
  • Kasumi Barski: I will make a post on your stuff.
  • Kasumi Barski: Because coming to you to pay for the textures is easier?
  • Kasumi Barski: The way you want me to do it, I have to go back to nimrod... talk to him explain the situation ... hope he will refudn me what I paid... then buy the whole thing all over again... when I dont need the furinture pack I already have it
  • Joseph Brooks: Well, the combo-pack has the furniture package in it
  • Kasumi Barski: I know, I already HAVE it
  • Joseph Brooks: so you'd be getting the furniture pack again anyways
  • Kasumi Barski: Oh you mean you dont have just the textures in a box
  • Joseph Brooks: I'm sorry - I cannot do this for you. It says right on nimrod's item which one you need to purchase if you want the textures included.
  • Kasumi Barski: Oh thanks, Your an idiot... I dont see what the problem with selling me the texture pack at what YOU get off the sale is so freaking hard. Make absolutely NO sense ..... Thank you, I will be sure to never buy anything of yours again.
  • Joseph Brooks: Fuck off
  • Joseph Brooks: Complete waste of time for 2USD
