There has been an exchange of Email's with he and I .. him making numerous excuses and me making plenty of requests for delivery. His latest note claims that he is at college and his SUPPLIER was on VACATION. He stated that the ball would be in the mail on April 5. As of today I have not received the ball .. a TRACKING NUMBER or heard any more from him.
Ike had run a NUMBER OF RAFFLES earlier in the year and at that time I started a posting to verify that the balls were being delivered. Apparently he was honoring all the RAFFLES and winning BR members reported satisfaction.
EVIDENTLY IKE has changed his position. I think he has NO INTENTION to make good this delivery. In NOT DELIVERING he has done me WRONG in that I did not receive something I gambled on and WON .. and it works out that he cheated NINE other members who were in the raffle buying entries in GOOD FAITH!
I have written numerous Email's to IKE and his responses lead me to believe he is NOT TO BE TRUSTED .. Even if I eventually get the ball .. the aggravation is NOT WORTH IT.
I suggest IKE be considered A BAD CHOICE to do business with from this point forward!
I would appreciate it if BR members bombard IKETOWN300 with mail asking: WHY HASN'T JOE FALCO RECEIVED HIS WINNING BALL FROM THE MARCH 3 RAFFLE?
Thanks!

thats cuz its not an excuse. he was on vacation and just got back this past weekend. i emailed him and told both joe and dpat what the deal was with as soon as i hear from him i will either get ur money back or make sure the ball is on its way if not already on its way. i have never screwed anyone on this board at anytime. But Joe u r getting a ball for 15 bucks which aint bad i dont think. Before he left for vacation, i told both joe and dpat that he was out of machines (what joe wants) and ones (what dpat wants 2 of). i have kept up with communications with you both. i cant help he hasnt received his shipment nor that he forgot to tell me he went on vacation.

It seems as if he plans to get you your gear or your money back, ergo, you won't be losing anything. I certainly understand that part of being a good seller involves shipping in a timely fashion, but you must understand that he cannot ship you what he does not have in his possession. If he is waiting on his supplier to get you what you want, all he can do is wait until he is delivered the goods so that he can get them to you.
I'm not saying that Ike is 100% in the right here. It sounds as if he's gotten himself over extended and cannot meet his demand in a timely fashion. You must realize, though, that Ike is not selling things in the traditional format. He does not have boxes of balls sitting in his room waiting to go out. He is offereing you the chance to get anything you want. By doing that, he must wait for you to give him your request and then set out to get the balls from his supplier. That leaves a lot of people involved and means that he is waiting just like you are.
I understand that, since you are dealing only with him, you're going to put the blame on him. That's fine; I would probably feel the same. However, I don't think that everyone else is justified in piling on. Ike has been around this board for a while now, and I've never heard of anyone getting ripped off by him. I for one, will not hesitate to do business with him again, if the opportunity presents itself.

Maybe it would help if he would get the balls in his possesion before he posts the raffle.........

Like I said, I have done multiple deals with IKE and for the most part, they where all OK. I did have one instance where I felt like he was ignoring my messages and such and he finally stated he was really busy with school, bowling and whatever. I totally understand and respect he has his hands full, but he should still do whatever it takes to keep people informed of whats going on regardless what he has going on in his life. It only takes a sec to write a quick email or private message on here..
My feelings are IKE is a good guy but should have the balls IN HAND before running a raffle or listing a ball for sale..

I will say that it DID work out in the end, but it wasn't the most pleasant buying experience I've ever had. I would just suggest to Ike that if he runs more raffles in the future that he make it abundantly clear that it may take some time to receive your ball.
Also, I know that Ike is a stand-up guy in the end, it's just difficult since you don't even deal with the guy who can actually supply your ball. I know that when Ike sells his own balls that he has, they get out very quickly!
Post by: NY Mike on April 12, 2006, 01:56:55 PM
for me to get the ball I chose ( supplier problems) but Ike is true to
his word. My ball finally came in and Ike supplier shipped as promised,
the ball was damaged in transit and Ike more than compensated me for
our troubles. Be patient, Ike may be slow but you will get the goods.
Post by: baccala8872 on April 12, 2006, 02:09:17 PM
Whichever balls are left over after the raffle closes, then they go on raffle, one-by-one, until his inventory is spent.
I know my idea doesn't cover all angles, but with a little work, it just may fly.

Getting a good deal for $15 .. there was $150 paid for this ball .. It was stated BALL OF CHOICE .. tell me WHY any SUPPLIER would NOT have a TRACK MACHINE available within a 2 week period. I checked with Pro Shops before I commented on BR about non-delivery!
There was no reference in the raffle about choosing a ball that he could get from his suppliers. He noted NO LANE1 or LEGENDS .. I stood behind his statements. Did he say choose only balls that are ENTRY LEVEL ..NO!
I know IKE has delivered before .. my deal was not one where he had the ball on hand. But .. to collect money for a ball he has yet to order .. then not get the ball is NOT SOME ONE I WOULD DEAL WITH!
Many are saying they deal with IKE and he delivered .. I know he delivered on other deals .. and I know he delivered on prior raffles .. does that make his actions RIGHT in this case. He had 10 people believing they could get the ball of their choice and those people bought TICKETS .. each of them were cheated and lied too. Will he deliver? HOPEFULLY .. DOES THAT JUSTIFY future dealings with him .. only if you are a FOOL! When selling you have to be in a position to DELIVER .. if you can't deliver .. WHO WILL BE STUPID ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH YOU!
IKE could not make a future deal look good to me .. I think I would want delivery before I paid and that would be STUPID on a buyers side!
I had many Email's to Ike before I posted on BR .. all were promises that never MATERIALIZED .. if you like those tactics .. go ahead and chance it .. my money is GOOD ANY PLACE .. I don't need sellers like this!

I agree 100%.. JOE FALCO is a very respected used on this forum and hope Ike makes good on the deal with him but I have to agree, he has waited way to long IMO.. If this had happened to me, I would not be happy either.. If I had been told about the delay in the first place, then thats a different story but it appears Joe was always told it was shipped and it never was..

I agree though, the wait is ridiculous but I have not lied to anyone on here and nor do i intend to for a measly 400 bucks when i can sell more bowling balls and make more money over time then cheat you guys out of 400 bucks. This will be the last "choose any ball you want raffle" but I will prolly have raffles for equipment I have in my house, which is a considerable amount but only 15 lbs. Joe and DPat I am truely sorry and I promised you I would make good on this deal. But if I just wanted to rip you guys off and not follow through, Sir Bowl is right I would just leave like the other guys have on this board that have ripped people off. He is supposed to email me today/tonite so I will let you guys know about it. I do bowl tonite so if he doesnt email me by the time I leave for bowling, I will let you know tomorrow.

If this guy is your supplier and friend, why don't you have a phone number where you could call him and get an answer right away?? Waiting for someone to email you back is very frustrating for you and for Joe and Dpat..
One other thing.. I just don't understand why you wouldn't just take the money that you made from the raffles and buy the balls elsewhere if your "connection" can't come thru for you in a timely manner..

If you have a shop and treat just ONE CUSTOMER like this .. your reputation is RUINED (unless you are the only kid on the block .. then you can survive). If you want to be in business .. CUSTOMER SERVICE is what sets you apart from others!
I don't care if this SUPPLIER sleeps with you .. it's no business of mine. You make a deal/collect the money and HAVE TO DELIVER! When you have OTHER PEOPLES MONEY you are obligated to PERFORM your SERVICE .. not at your convenience ..but .. in a reasonable time. MORE THEN TWO WEEKS to have a deal complete (or at least in the mail).. is NOT SMART and certainly not efficient. ANYONE who enters into a deal with prior knowledge of these expectations is a FOOL!

I sent him messages, but didn't get responses very quickly. He said he would get the ball out to me, but didn't.
Finally, I saw where others who had bought from him were posting that they had already gotten their balls, so I asked him " If you have time to ship others, and you have time to post in these forums, why don't you have time to ship me my ball?"
He finally told me that he was in one location and that the balls were in another, but that he would make sure the ball got sent out. The next day, he sent me a tracking number.
I tracked it, but it never left the depot. After a week, I contacted him and told him to please check it out. That night, he responded that there was a mixup in the labeling address and that it had been fixed. I tracked it and it was on its way.
I recieved it 3 days later ( after about 2 weeks of waiting ), and it was just a promised. A pristine ebonite overtime that looked as though it might never have been thrown.
I was very happy with the ball, and Ike seemed as though he was honest, just a bit busy and a bit scatter-brained at times, but he had/has a lot going on, or so he says.
Like I said, the ball was great, just like he promised, but his attention to detail and his customer service had a lot of room for improvement. I would probably buy from him again, but I would insist on better service next time. That would be a condition of purchase.

He won a ball for 15 dollars. How do you not see that?
We see that he bought a chance to win a ball for $15...
9 other people bought a chance to win as well for $15...
Before you completed the drawing YOU HAD $150 in YOUR hand.
Where is this $15 dollar ball you keep talking about ? Sure looks like a $150 to me !?
Why would you assume that just because it only cost him $15 to enter the drawing, but you got $150 total for the ball, that he should be ok with waiting ????
Wow man...Just wow...

Also, I said joe WOULD NOT have gotten refunded, I said he was guaranteed his ball. So i did answer the question.

pbafire was asking if you wouldve refunded all of the other participants that were part of that particular drawing, not just joe falco.

No, never said be okay with waiting. I said in a number of previous posts that the wait is way too long.
Actually you said this:

I believe when he stated that the wait was too long he was refering to the time it takes to get the ball from his "distributor"

Since you were the seller, and you clearly had a horrible selling experience here, maybe you should refund the 15.00 to everyone in the raffle, and get the ball to the winner at YOUR COST.... You screwed up... whether it is 15.00 from one guy or 10 guys.... You didn't come through in a timely manner. Bottom Line.
You should eat the cost of this sale, and made everyone happy that was involved and treated poorly!

Deep down inside I feel sorry that this all happened .. however I feel the action was justified. It appears that Ike is a GOOD GUY but just doesn't put enough effort to SATISFY! Once he started on the way to DELIVER every thing worked well!
I want to THANK all those that supported me in getting this delivery made. I learned quite a bit from this. There were some BR members that I was disappointed in and still others that I am overjoyed with. For those that didn't feel like getting INVOLVED .. I UNDERSTAND. For those members that supported me .. I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL! I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart! Thanks.
D PAT .. I have no doubt you will be getting your delivery as defined by Fed Ex. Please advise when it happens and then we can decide what to do about this whole posting! I need your input!
Thanks again!

You said later in the posting .. I went from the end forward and the above is my statement. You say three weeks which I believe would be 21 days I said 42 days that would be about 6 weeks. Don't know if that changes your mind.
Yes suppliers don't carry every ball for every spec .. but I do believe they can acquire them before the elapsed period of this deal. I take no exception to you voicing your opinion .. I welcome it. I will agree with you THREE WEEKS IS AN ACCEPTABLE TIME PERIOD FOR DELIVERY. Before I made my comment .. I believe I waited longer then that. Thanks for your comment .. I don't mind if you believe I was wrong! I just hope you don't have to wait 42 days for a ball delivery in your orders.

Yes, there is enough oil and no, the ball is not rolling-out.
Is that your answer to everything in life?
