I could simply have posted a

but I heard Betina is fluent in Spanish but struggling with French, and I wouldn't want her to miss any of it, now would I?

Nyet, you bet.

I suppose.

I promised Betina protection from abusive posts. I think we have honored our end of the bargain. I do not consider Kirk's grievance against her abusive, especially when she has failed to mount a defense. The way I see it, she kept the earrings for free, onacuz she did not agree with his price. Now if I tried that at a local jewelry store, I would be arranging for bail money.
I invited Betina here hoping she would contribute some of her knowledge, she never did. She merely proclaimed herself “Betina Wittels, Empress of Elixirs” and set up links to her shill sites. She seems to think that we should unquestioningly accept her reason for ripping off Kirk and arrogantly followed it with “This is my last reply to this subject”. I think this absolves us of any obligation to treat her in a civil manner.
I apologize to the forum for bringing her here and for requiring that you go against you instincts and be civil to her.
greeneyes
Since the muzzle's off,
I'd like to call attention to the fact
that in this very thread she unabashedly defends her right
to charge what she acknowledges as high prices for own wares.
In the same breath, almost, she decries Kirk's price as too high.

Kirk's price seems quite reasonable for what he offered,
whereas hers have often not seemed reasonable.

I would find that ironic if I weren't too busy finding it villainous.
Stroller
Fucking Bitch!

(that felt better).


She delt with the accusations the same way she delt with Kirk, ignore them. She reacted like a 6 yr old.
greeneyes
If you would like to be treated well, you must treat others, at least, fairly.
jaded prol
Indeed, given her mark up, 3 bottles of booze for those earrings would have been a steal and she couldn't even to that.

Yet she continues to wear them . . .



greeneyes
I came very close to doing business with her and am glad I never did.
She might have been fair with me, although I now have little reason to think so.
Even so, I later calculated that a couple of shipments
could have gotten lost completely
and I would have still come out ahead
of what I'd have paid her for the same products.
Betina
I immediately shipped the earrings back! Both people offered to make me something never confrmed a price and then shipped them to me with a bill. I do not go into a store, look at a stereo with a blank price tag, ask and receive no answer about a firm price, and then find it on my doorstep with a bill.
[Name withheld to protect the — er — innocent.]/Crosby invited me to Las Vegas, and then to forum, but mainly asked for me to bring free Suisse...
few asked for any knowledge from me.
Crosby
We have invited her here to share her personal experience in and knowledge of the world of absinthe.

Sure and how much of your free booze have I/we had?
Crosby
And why won't you answer where the earrings are now?
Kirk
I never offered to make them, you asked me to.
I don't take returns on custom orders, if you wanted cheap earrings you should not have ordered fine Colombian emeralds to be custom set, why would you do that?
You already admitted you would not tell me your price range. I made them as cheap as I could and still stay in your requirements of fine stones with fairy wings.
We don't use first names here, please edit you're post.
Where are the earrings now?
Have you had them appraised?
greeneyes
Miz B, it is in very poor form to use the given name of other members.
If you have someone's name it is because he trusted you.
If you post that name publicly, you have just betrayed a trust.
Is that something you care about?
I am editing your post.
Louched Liver
As I read her lengthy, meandering,
alarmist pitch, oh, so many years
ago, I thought-
Fuck this nut.

And promptly ordered from Justin!
Ha!

And least his verbiage was controlled.
Louched Liver
And I never heard stories of him
calling in the wee small earlies to
harangue customers. As I have
w/da lil' Shittels.

And one of them was under the
legal drinking age when she was
selling to him.

Louched Liver
But ChrissyPuss charged too
much, ripped me off on some
"antiques" and sent me something
special that never arrived.
Louched Liver
Then, after a few agreeable
transactions, Wolvie (not the
Moonman, who was a whole
'nother kinda greedy prick)
got me for $800 when he
left his wife and baby for
a Teutonic twat.
Louched Liver
Before the free exchange of
info here in the Lounge, it was
easy to get skinned.
Louched Liver
Fee Verte was a closed mouth
inner circle.

And, way back then, ChrissyPuss
was championed as "too smart to
spell correctly" and other b.s.
because of his shitty poetry in
odd iambics and meters and
whatever.
Louched Liver
Now look how shill-heads are treated.

Bravo, I say!
A.B. Normal
Here's what I don't understand:
Bettina says she shipped them back, and Kirk says he doesn't have them.

So where did they go?

Are they on the lobes of an insane postal worker?

This is the question that plagues me.
Louched Liver
One is a Prince Albert on me.
Louched Liver
Dunno where Peeps stuck hers.

That Crosby
too cheap to buy his own booze
I'll bet he drinks Bud when he can't talk someone into giving him absinthe,
and the way I force my work on people is shameless.
The thing is, if you brought a case of your best stuff I still wouldn't let you in,
and I don't do work for the general public.
Kirk

no, I don't do work for the G.P.
I wouldn't have helped you except for the friend of a close friend thing
I don't do that anymore, I learned.
Louched Liver
Buddy!
Betina
This my very last reply.
I never agreed on a price with Kirk and immediately sent the earrings back.
I never agreed on a price with Alaska guy either.
I have never ordered any special absinthe made for me from anywhere. That accusation is totally bizarre.
Nobody has ever complained about my packing, shipping, or product. I guarantee everything. I have never ripped off a customer unlike Justin, Doc and every other American vendor along with some European ones, as well.
All of you can believe what you will. Those who know me and do business with me know that I am honorable.
I will no longer be posting on this forum.

human.

Louched Liver
Duh.
That's why I said it.

what a story ! I still can't beleive it, swindle Kirk... such a gentleman.
I've had some trades with Kirk, just because I really wanted to own some of his wonderful pieces of artwork (my fav being the elephant grille), he was kind enough to engrave my initials on each piece, so now I own 3 'very personal' treasures from him that will stay in my family for decades, I will never thank you enough Kirk.
He really doesn't deserve what happened to him, specially knowing that he only asked for 3 bottles of booze, booze that she can get for maximum $100 each including shipping and custom taxes (and I'm pretty sure she gets them for much less). that makes $300 maximum for 3 bottles ! so far from what he paid for the emeralds !
I've been close to make business with her too, but was very sceptical about her emails, strangely perturbed emails...
