To all who said I was over reacting:
FYI, this is not about money it is about principle. I have contacted my local US District Attorney and the post office. I am proceeding with Federal Mail Fraud charges:
Initial email from Redbone311-
"I have a 22lr Marlin semi auto rile that I might be interested in trading for it. But the gun is in real good condition and I think a higher value than the scope. Are you interested and what could we work out? I can get you pics. I haven't even looked at this gun in many years.
Thanks
Dave"
After trying to get the gun for almost a month he finally sends it. Yesterday 9-2-10 I finally get up to Waynesboro to pick up the rifle. The gun is trash. Here is a link to where this crook bought it on 7-23-2010 almost a month after the "deal was made".
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=179654736here is the scope I traded him:
http://www.opticsplanet.net/simmons-prohunter-2-6x32-handgun-scope.htmlPlus a set of Burrin Signature ZEE rings:
http://www.opticsplanet.net/burris-...-mount-rings-for-weaver-style-bases.htmlSo I traded $170 worth (retail) of scopes and rings for $170 worth (retail) Marlin Model 60 that was supposed to be in the following condition, "But the gun is in real good condition and I think a higher value than the scope."
Yesterday I sent a simple message,
"You have 24 hours from now to ship my pistol scope and the Burris Signature Z-Rings, the $20.00 I sent you for shipping and an additional $20.00 to ship the marlin back to you. If you do not respond to this message within 24 hours I will proceed accordingly.
I expect the scope and rings to be in EXACTLY the same shape as when I sent it to you."
Today he replies with the following:
"I will do no such thing. Quite frankly - Go [bleep] yourself, you little self centered, spoiled , wise ass, jerk. I am very tired of your childish foolishness.
Our business is done and completed. Period.
You don't order me around or dictate anything to me. I don't know who you think you are, but your a nobody to me.
Actually even worse, you have repeatedly proven what an azzhole you are.
The deal was that I send you a Marlin 22lr rifle for your scope and rings along with you sending $20 for the shipping. I did exactly that. Done, over, period. Don't like it? - to bad.
You liked it just fine when you literally said how you screwed me by sending a cheap junk Simmons scope for the rifle. And that was even before I sent the rifle and I stated that the scope was very poor quantity.
You gloated and made public jokes about it here on this site in the forums. Is it a joke now?
So I sent you and equal quality Marlin rifle. Not the pristine one you WERE going to get. But appropriate considering your actions and words. And yet I fulfilled all my requirements and obligations to you completely. You never stated any conditions, requirements, nor photos, etc of the gun. And I never promised you anything other than what I delivered. Just that it be a Marlin model 60 22lr rifle. And that is just exactly what I sent. I never described the condition nor photos nor anything other than that. And you never asked. DUH And I never said that I would send you a pristine/like new one. Your smart and big mouth and foolishness cost you. Again I should add. Just like you admit to - that you had to leave other forums because of it. DUH - some people learn from their mistake. Some are too dumb.
Now, over a month later you have changed your mind? Now a month later you don't want the gun and want your scope back?
And your going to dictate to me exactly what I have to do for you? Or you will "proceed accordingly". And just what exactly does that mean?
Is this where your going to play bad azz again and threaten me, while you hide behind your computer? HA HA And then claim to others again it's me playing computer bad azz and hiding behind mine? Your a JOKE. Albeit a bad one. I have no interest in your tired, weak, childish bullchit any longer. Been there done that with you over and over.
Laughable. "If I don't respond in 24 hours..." Lucky for you I even came on here. I might not be on here again for months, never mind 24 hours.
Let me guess, your an only child and mommy and daddy told you the world revolved around you. Sorry to say - they lied. It doesn't, and your just a little big mouth self centered jerk.
Stick the rifle up your azz and pull the trigger.
If you slander me on here, or any other forum, or any other place I will take legal action against you. I will also be happy to show all others all of your prior foolishness.
You lost then, are you really dumb enough to try and repeat it?
You traded a $90 scope and rings for a $120 rifle.
It's over and done.
Grow up and move on with your life.
This is not kinder-garden, and there are no "do overs". "
So, buyer beware. I have had many dealings with many great people on here, just not this character.
