CRAZY11 IS BAD FOR BUSINESS
« on: April 03, 2004, 05:54:45 AM »
i have been a member for less than a year now and have had around 10 absolutely perfect transactions.  i have good references and have made some "friends" on here.  but, then there is someone that makes this place just plain crap, CRAZY11 to be exact.  he was going to sell me a 15 lb single drill track crunch for $40 shipped.  he said he was going to ship it out in a few days (this was more than a week ago) and when he shipped it out he would tell me and i would send payment.  well....  time went on and never heard from him, so i email him... no repsonse.  i email him again and he finally responds with "what was our deal again".... yeah real nice... so i told him...  no repsonse.... i email him again.... no response....  if you don't want to sell the ball... tell me... don't be a dick and ignore me.  and my friend has talked to him and dealt with him and the same exact thing on here.  and i know he is not busy because since he and i had our deal i have seen approx 4 new posts from him.  SO BEWARE OF CRAZY11 HE MAY SAY "YOU'VE GOT A DEAL" BUT HE MOST LIKEY LYING.

Yeah that dude is a little odd I was supposted to buy that Crunch as well! Huh guess how much 40.00 shipped, but when Iwanted him to ship the ball the same day I sent the money order, he couldn't do that becaues he was broke??? But when I listed a Black Cherry Bomb he really was interested in trading?? HUMMM how could we trade if he didn't have and cash to ship the ball out??
I did not get burned  but I think I could  have ......??
Well he scared me away !!! This is just one of those things that make you go HUMMMMMMMM!!!!! JuSt Be CaReFuL Friends.....
Its just a game? Yeah Right! 2nd place is the 1st loser

i am the one he "supposeedly" is trading the ball to. Since he is only 14, i demanded that i receive his ball b4 i send mine to him. yesterday, he is already making accusations that i am ripping him off. even though it was yesterday that he "supposedly" shipped it. He also said that i should ship my ball now since he shipped his. He did provide me with a tracking number, which is valid. I just want to make sure it is in the condition he claims it to be b4 i ship my ball to him. I made that mistake with The Nean, and i'm not about to do it again.

Hmmmm, that Crunch was going to get around.

Sounds like it was traded to about 3 people, or more.

See my post on same ball with same guy.

Similar MO?  Trying to trade with several people at once?  Have person A ship to B and receive a ball from C?  May be good for shipping costs, but hard to place blame if one of the combo deals goes bad.

OK, maybe I started this thing and had a right to!

BUT, at this time Crazy11 is in active contact with me and promising to send me a $15 plugging fee.  When it arrives I feel that he is made the appropriate effort to right this wrong and have a strong feeling it might never happen again.

I'm willing to let up on this.

great you paid him for the service that he supplied to you, minus about $485 dollars.  his words not mine.  but what about me and kman300 and who ever else you sold the ball to, i want the crunch for $40 shipped like you told me, but its not going to happen.  you can apologize all you want.  i will never be satisfied with you.  i don't want $10 or $20 dollars to make up for it, i want the ball.  but you can't provide that for me, so its over.  ur new, ur untrustworthy, according to other people that have responded you're a liar.  i posted my original post to warn people about you.  and obviously i am not the only one that feels this way.  you don't have to fight this, make up with who ever you want to make up with.  i am telling you flat out, unless i get the ball i will never be satisfied.  so just stop replying and move on.  the more YOU try to defend yourself the more you dig a hole.  this is the reason why there is this forum, to warn people, to make sure that the shadiness stops and people can trust each other and not get screwed, not waste their time sending emails and boxing balls up and paying shipping costs, and leaving early from work to preform special tasks.  its ridiculous that people can't be trusted with bowling balls and acces/equip.  to all the good people still out there, keep on being a good honest person and have fun on here, cause thats what i thought this website was when i got on at first, fun.  now i have to watch  my back and try to get backround checks on people.  not good

Hey, no doubt I was mad too!  

But sometimes ya have to give up on anger.

I had a similar situation about a year ago with another new user on this site.
I went off!!!  Just like I have above and more!  The GUY DID change his ID.
I and several others smoked him out.

He fessed up, flew right and became a well respected member on ballreviews.
Doing many deals after this.  In fact he even sold and posted under his REAL NAME.  I respected the fact that he stood and and accepted responsibility!

This guy Crazy11 IS trying to change his MO, I think.

I have now calmed my slow starting but hot burning Irish Dander for now, and am willing to see the actual results of what turns out.  It is hard for me to figure how someone could possibly cement 4 deals for a ball but, well it happened.

Currently I am trying to obtain a ball and have two offers from two other bowlers.  I've notified at least one that I'm considering other offers and will soon notify the other.  It's that easy!

Anyway.  I'm willing to forgive at times, maybe this is one of those times!

i don't hate him for it.  its only a ball, i am upset not only on my part but on everyone elses.  this is not the only time this has happened to me.  i am not saying to everyone DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH HIM, i am just letting people know what type of business him and i had.  and letting people know this is why they have the forum.  i bowl for fun, i am serious when it comes to business, he screwed me, my fault for trusting him.  that doesn't mean that for the rest of his life he is going to screw everyone over.  but it could.  i am not going to carry on in this post, my last reply, i will leave it for others to read and reply, if you have something you wish to discuss with me about my topic on crazy11, send me a message or email me.  thanx and good day

I've resolved all issues with Crazy11 as he paid me even more than I requested, 15 instead of the $10 I asked for, this for the plug job I did in order to trade a ball with him.

At this time I would deal with him again and expect it to go smoothly.

well, i am the guy that got the crunch. it wasn't nearly as described, the thumb has a crack arouhnd it, and it's pretty marked up. i sent him a raging inferno that had maybe 5 games on it. he said he was going to send me 415 to make up the difference, still have yet to see it. he even messaged me to tell me he got the money order for me, that was like 10 days ago.

Where is my $15 CRAZY11??????????????

i have the pics to prove there is no track in that ball. i got it on trade from ringing10's i think, and i only threw about 5 frames with it. it is a thumb slug in the thumb hole, it is made by KGT grips.
