hello everybody
it's me, Ignacio Prieto.
I am really sorry about letting all of you down who bought from me and I could not finish doing deals with.
I need to explain.
I am suffering from some sort of psicological breakdown and I have from a while ago. I tried to keep things afloat in terms of sales and it all fell through. I have had no other income than that which I was recieving from these sales for the past 6 years. I have always been ashamed of it.
I became too ambitious and was unable to handle the situation.
my partner (we were not married) who is the mother of my children, left me 1 month ago with the kids and I have been very affected by this, we where not doing well since a long time ago but that is another thing that fell through.
I have had a very difficult life and have made many mistakes- leving everyone in the learch was one of these mistakes - and I could not face coming back on here because it pained me so much. and it has been very horrible since I have always depended on the friendship of the users on here.
I am not ok emotionally. I am going to a psicologist and am taking mediction.
I have no job and am very worried about the prospect of finding a job.
I have recently been on the edge.
what I wanted to say is that I have decided that I want to put things right. I want to pay for what I have done. for the time being I dispose of no money, but I want to pay evey cent back to everyone. Big Bear was very nice to me and tried to help me, but at some point I just fell away. it is part of my problem in life, running away when I feel I cannot deal with something. I promise that I bent over backwards to make this work with regards to the MVS systems, I just dealt with a very bad supplier who I didn't know too well.
I will no longer be selling things on this site, and I can understand the anger a dissapointment that many members may have, please understand that I was not well, it isn't an excuse its an explanation.
if members I still owe something to can be patient I will start when I can, to pay back and try and make things right.

I am sincerely sorry and I know I have probably burnt alot of bridges here, which pains me greatly.

I'll let people who had deals with you say more, but to me this is always a start. Just own up to it and in time work it out so that you are able to pay people back.

Most of us have made mistakes and I understand that it takes a while to come around to and admit to it, but most people are forgiving and willing to just get back what they gave and no harm no foul.

Cheers and good luck.

like lithy said, this is a good start. I know nothing of your deals nor that you left people hanging and this being ng.com there'll probably be atleast a few noobs etc... crying liar liar. Ignore them and concentrate on getting your act together.

Psychological problems are a bitch, while I have stayed relatively sane so far, I have seen a close friend go in pretty deep, so seek help asap.

Chachi!

You're a smart and funny poster and your absence here was missed.

It's great to hear from you again, even under such unfortunate circumstances.

I know it sounds trite, but there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, and the bad times *do* at some point end, and give way to better and happier ones. It may take awhile, and it may be a hellish ride 'til it's all over, but things do eventually get better.

:vik:

...I'm relatively new here--have purchased from the site and reading posts for a couple of years but have recently joined the forums. Don't really know the details of what went down with you and the other members on this forum.


I can say this though it takes incredible bravery to come clean like that, especially since a lot of members are prolly furious and would probably take this opportunity to flame you.

Regardless of what happens, admitting your mistakes and taking responsibility is more than most people would do. Most people who do things like that just keep on running.

As you can see from the positive posts on this thread so far, most reasonable people just want you to be honest and take sincere steps to pay for the things you did wrong... that's pretty much it.

thank you very much for the coments. I am posting once again to state that I am not going to simply leave once again, and I will work towards making things right within my current capacity to do so, which is null. I reiterate my apology to Big Bear whom was very decent in helping me out at a time when I was simply unable to face the situation, and I let him down too. I am not one to talk about the problems I am dealing with as an excuse, simply as an explenation and a pledge to this community who I have enjoyed participating in.
I am no longer interested in participating as DevilRedeemed, simply Ignacio Prieto, which is who I am.
I know many if not most people recieved their orders and I am sure many if not most are and have been displeased in the manner I took care of things. I ask anyone who still has a deal pending with me to mention it or pm me personally. whilst I cannot at this time offer more than a desire to make things right once more, the burden is mine.

I was wondering where you've been lately.

I'm sure everyone who bought from you, after reading this, will understand.

I'm not good at this kind of thing, telling people I hope they get better and such, but really man, I hope all the best for you. Good luck. From the posts you've made here I've always thought you were an ace guy.

Hey Ignacio,

Don't be hard on yourself. I think you did all you could do for someone who has kids to feed and a supplier that was taking his time to finish the transaction. The group buy was probably the biggest one NG.com ever had so it shows the magnitude of the purchasing difficulty. Unfortunately it didn't go as smooth as you wanted it to but it's almost over and people either got their boards or got a refund so people shouldn't be bitching about anything. Group buys can be tricky with that many buyers. It can be very overwhelming and break you down fast if you aren't used to it.

I think it was nice of you to set it up to help us find a better deal for Neo mobos.

Good to see you back on the site. I've not had any deals with you as of late, so I can't speak for others, but I reiterate the comments of others. Keep your head up. Though it may mean little to some, you're at least being open and honest about what's been happening.

I'm glad to see you back around Ignacio and it takes alot to man up to your mistakes. I wish you the best of luck and am sorry to hear about your current situation but now is not the time to be down in the dumps you got to be optimistic and work to get yourself back on your feet. I'm positive most forum members are willing to forgive and forget the situation as long as you make things right. Voz sabes que soy Argentino entonce si queres hablar pm me. Chau flaco

I feel your pain, but I would be a slight bit expedited in the repayment of those interest free loans.

Hope it all works out, but this right here is why I only buy within driving distance of my house. Everyone has something worth "something".

Good luck :vik:
