xxxpipologyxxx--WARNING???
« on: June 25, 2003, 05:45:47 AM »
Just wanted to post a warning about this user. If he posts, or messages me soon telling me what is going on with our transaction then I will retract this post.

I posted a awhile back looking for a Track EMB. He messaged me telling me he had one for trade. I told him what I had and we agreed on a trade, an Ebonite Apex Aggression (which was used, thumb was plugged once, and he was notified of it) and $20. I shipped the ball on June 13th, with $20 cash in the thumb hole. It arrived at his address on June 17th at 3:07pm. He never messaged me letting me know he got it. I sent a few messages asking if he got it, and when he was going to send the EMB. He notified me that he was "on vacation" and he would have his maid send it. OK, fine. I told him just to make sure that I am notified of the tracking number, as I notified him of the one I shipped. Still nothing. I realize the ball only arrived there 8 days ago, but he has posted a few things in the wanted/for sale room. If he can do that why not return my messages?

This is just a warning to other users. I understand people have things happen and it can take awhile. So once I recieve the tracking number and the ball arrives I will repost about a positive transaction with him.

Imagine that, XXX has NOT entered a profile.  It is really sad that people like that take others for rides.  I read his statement about it not being his fault if the balls do not arrive.  While it may not be his "fault", it is his "RESPONSIBILITY" (that a trait that a lot of people today are lacking in) to contact the shipping establishment, and demand an answer.  I have dealt with Doug most, and I KNOW that if something did not arrive at its destination, he would be livid, and if not found, they would be replacing the loss.  I was shocked to find out about this guy sending Douig a ball for trade that he had not paid for yet.  Seems like the only way to get his "undivided" attention, and his action, is to see what legal recourse is a viable option.   I like all people, but do not like some of the things these people do, and untrustworthiness is the hardest to overcome, but not impossible.

I have read through this thread several times. Something that has not been brought forth, and maybe should be brought to xxxp's attention (maybe he is lurking), that since he is a minor, he has now involved his parents (legal guardians) in the matter. If he resides in their residence, the computer he used, the phone line, and any other computers (ie: grandmother perhaps) now become involved.

Maybe a course of action after a given deadline, say 72 hours, he does not contact all individuals he needs to, then contact his parents, legal guardians, etc. If they do not have enough concern to straighten out the matter, then the last recourse would be legal enforcement via police, and internet fraud. And since he has admittedly used the USPS, their may be possibly USPS mail fraud.

Even though this has been transpiring over a lengthy time period already, maybe a short deadline is now due.

Just my 2 cents, and I hope everyone gets compensated for their losses.
BTW...I have only had one transaction through here, and although the party wanting the equipment never sent payment, I have never bashed him. I know he has had several other excellent transactions on here, and just probably could not swing it at that time. No Harm, No Foul.
Again...good luck to all involved

Leftside I think you are taking a good and bad stance here.  While a witch hunt is not needed how long should people wait.  If you go into a local proshop and guy tells you that you have to pay up front for him to get you a ball is a couple months a reasonable amount of time to wait no.  How long should somebody have free of charge.  It is like he is getting to use everyones equipment and or money free of charge.  Do you let the bank hang on to your money for no interest?

I don't really play cards and I am not 79, but it fits together somehow.

Well hopefully this is all true what you said Matt. BUT is it true or are you just saying that {someone calling your mother} to take some heat off and so no one does call her?
 I do hope you are clearing this up, it never should of gotten this far. If that MO was sent it should be getting there about now.

This thread has been read over 5000 times and there are over 150 responses. If we can support one another every time someone tries to rip people off, we may be able to have a safer place to sell/trade.

Am I reading this book right?  Matt traded Shaggy's Inferno to Doug?  If this is true, then wouldn't Doug be in possession of stolen merchandise?  Well, sort of maybe...

What do y'all think?  Just something else to ponder.
