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.

Despite my good initial transaction with him I guess I too have to chime in and say that I was duped by this guy.

He said he wanted inserts...so I ordered 3 sets of Turbo Quads for him. Was going to send them along with a towel that I owed him from the previous transaction as soon as payment for the inserts arrived. No payment.

Then he posted about wanting a Cherry Bomb. So I offered to sell him my lightly used Cherry for a price. He said deal....he guaranteed he was going to buy it.

Then he asked about where to send my payment. Then a few days go by and he forgot. Then more time went by and he said he wanted it plugged. Well then he decided he wanted a new one. So we settled on a new ball. Said payment would be sent Monday (finalized the deal on a Friday). Well that Monday was 3 weeks ago.

Still no word on what happened or what was going on....

Oh well......now I just have an extra Cherry Bomb in stock to sell.

I'd say don't do anything (removing grips, plugging etc) until you have money in hand from this guy.

Thanks Paul!

I am still waiting for an EMB----or EMB xf to arrive from this guy. He seems to still be cooperating. I hope he comes through.

Sorry you guys got burned.

I may be interested in a Cherry Bomb though. Message me.

CAUTION TO OTHERS:

I made a deal with xxxpipologyxxx (Matt Wagner) about a month ago.  I shipped a 15lb NIB Brunswick Inferno to Matt for a NIB AZO Red Fire, but I have yet to receive the Red Fire.  I have sent several messages to Matt inquiring about the shipping status of the Red Fire, but he has not replied.   I have successfully dealt with many others from this site, but Matt has yet to fulfill his agreement. If I ever receive the Red Fire from Matt, I will post a another message.

Well, I'll be in Michigan the end of the month.  Can't seem to get driving directions to Fort Gratiot though.  Is it spelled wrong or is it a bogus address?
