Steve Nagy AKA Shootin300 AKA Steveo300 rates a thumbs down
« on: August 31, 2003, 07:16:34 PM »
I have dealt with this user in the past with no ill will pointed anywhere. However, a recent transaction (or lack of completion on his part, has pushed me to let everytone know....

He wanted the used Sonic X I had listed on my used page. He asked if I would consider a trade. I said OK, what do you have? One of the balls HE OFFERED was a NIB Too Hot with good specs I said Yeah, I'd swap the Sonic X for the Too Hot. No problem. We agreed to ship within ht next 2 days, which I did.

Then I receive a message asking if I'd take a used Too Hot and $10 instead. I said no, we agreed on the NIB Too Hot. He said OK, he'd ship within the next day or so.

About 2 days later I get a message on here that he is now telling me that the thumb on the Sonic X was plugged and not once drilled as I stated. I sold the ball NIB to PChee and he then swapped it to Cooksey and Cooksey swapped it back to me. I didn't touch the ball, Cooksey said all he had his guy do was install a slug to alter the span and pitches and PChee just drilled the ball (no thumb slug).

Guess what I have yet to receive some 2 weeks later??? You are correct Dr. Watson...my Too Hot is nowhere to be found! He also now refuses to answer messages sent to him.

Oh yeah and it isnt like it takes 3 weeks for the ball to get here either...he lives in OH...so it should take a maximum of 3 days to get here.

His contact info is....
Steve Nagy
5520 Main Ave
Ashtabula, OH 44004

If Steve comes through with the NIB Too Hot with the specs he promised, I will retract this post and post a positive one.

It seems to be a common problem with a lot of the "negative" transactions here on the board...  People promise a transaction, then for whatever reason, decide they don't like it any longer.  
But see, there lies the problem...  Once you agree to something... you have given your word.  And that's a direct reflection of you as a person.  Any decent person, even if they made a mistake in dealing which may cost a few bucks, will hold up their end of the deal and do everything possible to make it work.  But there always seem to be a few people who think they are the only one who matters and screw the other guys.  
Unfortunately this is a possibility anytime a transaction takes place with members other than the reputable...  So I guess in general, outside of dealings with Doug, DrillWizard, Axewelder, StormLefty, etc. (I'm sure I'm forgetting a TON!), use caution!  
Hope everything works out,

The problem was resolved...sort of.

Instead of the original agreed upon Too Hot I was to get, he has sent me a Dynothanem Eagle spare ball. The ball doesn't have the felt bag or the original box and is scratched up but at least I got a ball back.

Problem resolved although I still won't be doing any dealing with him again....
