It has taken me a long while to post this because I wanted to believe that the person I am writing this on would do the right thing. However, he has gone incommunicado and no longer replies to any of my emails or ebay messages.

This person is Bryan Hibbins from satintime ([email protected]). On this forum, he is known as bry1975 and on ebay, he is dr-poc. He has plenty of positive feedback on ebay but seemed to have stopped selling there recently.

I have paid Bryan GBP40 in January this year for a Kirium bezel remover. He shared he intended to fabricate a few of these as there seems to be demand for such a tool and being an owner of a few Kiriums, I decided to get one from him. However, as months passed, it became obvious that he wasn’t going to make one. He kept providing excuses that the project is still under works and he is looking for funding. A few times he promised to refund me the money but never got to it saying that he was “skint” and asked to delay repayment. All these while he was still selling stuff on ebay.

I empathized with him as prior to this, I had good dealings with him in the past and thought that he would make it right and repay me when he has the funds. The last I communicated with him was in June and he said he would get a day job to make ends meet. He also said he did a DLC job for a Rolex and would be paid soon. I didn't mind waiting a little more as I didn’t want to pressure a guy that was already down on his luck. However, since then, I have not heard from him. I have tried emailing and messaging him on ebay these past few weeks but to no avail.

At this juncture, I don’t think I will ever be getting back my 40 quids. It’s not a lot of money, which raises the point on why he did not prioritize paying me back after so many months.

If you have dealings with Bryan or has any intention to deal with him, I’d strongly suggest proceeding with caution.

If you would like validate what is written above, I have emails and messages to support it.
