FS: TOTEM Cam

I just went to message Marc-Olivier and it says his account is no longer active. Anyone know details? Feel uneasy about placing an order without more info

I'll PM you his email that he used when I bought from him last year. Maybe try that?

Thanks. Curious about what happened too

i doubt his account status has anything to do with the business he is trying to run. maybe rei got a complaint about his vending.

free marc olivier!

pay an extra buck-fifty for regular paypal if it makes you feel better but I'll vouch for Marc, he's always sent me exactly what I order, on a quick schedule.

I'm Marc-Olivier. I just came back from 2 days guiding, I missed the show. I didn't close my account. It seems it was deactivated by admin. I did not receive any warning, email or explanation about this. I guess it's because of the cam selling. Maybe a message asking me to stop selling cams with closure consequence if not would have been enough. To be sentenced without being informed of the violation shocks me. Even worst, it doesn't allow me to correct myself or giving any explanation to buyers. It let me looks like a thief that goes away. That is sad to me and not cool for buyers. For anyone that has already bought from me, cams will be ship as promised, don't be worry.

I'm assuming this actual account (Marco Chabot) could also be closed at any time. Who know?

So what's next? I'll stop selling on MP until I know more of what happened. I hope it will prevent the closure of this new account. Email me for inquiries, cancel an order, modify shipping address, shipping issue. Most of us here know my email.

Regards

Yeah I hope not Marco. Thanks for the good service you do for the community. I hope there isn’t any backlash of that kind for you. Free Marco + 1!!

Free Marco! I’ve bought from him. Everything was as expected. He’ll do you right

Free Marco! +2
Marco provides a vital service to our community that nobody else is able or willing to provide.

Free Marco! +3

(and I have a friend that can vouch for him)

I have used imoji on both of my last messages before my account closing and I things it's was the first time I used imoji on MP. Do you think it's because of that?

No way. Emojis are used all the time, as well as memes. Marco’s emojis are super mellow and quite common.

In some emoji or meme cases on any forum, some things can be and are offensive, but those accounts are not deleted. Highly doubtful that is the case. It is highly mysterious as to why Marco had his profile deleted. Strange, for sure. 
It might be because of business promotion, but I can’t call it. I’ll PM Marco from now on to do business, just to keep it from getting weird, advertising and business wise. Or, just go to his website for now, or from now on.

Don't stop selling. We all know you're good for it and I don't want to get back into the Totem business.  :) 

Just got my preorder from Marco, Totems are fucking awesome. Love the gear, and the service. Thanks again Marco!! 

I have sent an email to mountain project. Still no answer... This whole story let me speechless. How to know what I have to do?

I had pre-ordered and just received my 5 totems from Marco.  Thanks again! +4

Just got my order.  4 days from Ottawa to LA.  Awesomely fast!  Marco is the man!  

Still no answer about my account closure.

I think if the admins had a certain reason, Marco’s new account would probably be gone as well. Since then, his new ID is good. It could be exactly what Briggs is talking about.
