I was recently laid-off and made a deal with the local firing range. So, I have a lot of brass to sell. The range is open to the public but also used by the local authorities. I have several 1000 of each caliber, once fired and mixed headstamp but if you want a specific headstamp it can be arranged. I'll throw in a few extras to make up for any bad cases. If you need less than 1K just PM me.

1K 9mm $50
1K .38 spl $60
1K 40 S&W $65
1K 45 ACP $70
1K .223 $100


All Prices include Shipping via USPS Flat Rate

I Accept an USPS money order only!
Posted By: shoester5 Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 04/18/09
I like to add a couple more calibers.

I made a deal to buy all the brass from the local firing range. I get to collect brass every Thursday. The brass I got last Thursday had been an accumulation of several months so I don't know what to expect when I start collecting every Thursday. I got 4 barrels of brass last Thursday but I don't expect that much each Thursday. I'll just wait and see.

For now, I still have plenty of brass available in the calibers mentioned above plus smaller quantities of other calibers. Just PM me if interested in other calibers.

Unfortunately, I had a family crisis come up and if everybody will be patient and bear with me for a few days, I'll get all the brass shipped out and contact everybody. My mother fell early Saturday morning and broke her hip and because of some complications she past away yesterday. She would have turned 80 this year and had problems with her heart for a few years now. I'm having a very difficult time handling this and need a few days to get my thoughts in order. I apologize and hope everybody understands.

Posted By: fun4x4 Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/14/09
I have not heard from him either since the 25 of April. I also set him money (Postal Money Order) I hope things are ok, I know it may be trying times, but at least let the people know. If things are running late let each one of us know, and you can pick a date to ship out the brass. That way people can be expecting it few days later. Comunication is the key here. Shoester5 you should let eveyone know when, and what to expect. Please respond to all of us.
Thanks

Hi,
Please send a USPS money order in the amount of $50 to:

Eric Shoemaker

I'll ship the brass within 24 hrs of receiving the MO if at all possible and will keep you informed all the way.

Thanks,

I have also left 2 messages on his answering machine. Is that his cell number or home phone number? 864-480-9278
I suggest we all call him to see if he answers his phone. Who works third shift?

We need to get a total amount together of $$$$$ involved here, might be enough to get some heads turned at the Gaffney PD, if not perhaps the postal service. Myself and another guy sent a total of $150 in one usps mo.

new member here, I saw 'summitsitter' post on 'The Firing Line' concerning this guy - it's apparent now that he's pulling a scam.
I'm close to the S.C. line and Gaffney isn't so far away that I couldn't make a rum down there to the P.D. and US PO when time permits me.
please feel free to PM me with info concerning what the US PO says to those who used MO's sent to him for payment.
he has screwed up as he sent me an email saying he had received my MO but asked for time this about 3 weeks back.
he took me for 25$ which is hardly worth trouble to recover but I hate a liar and thief.
maybe I could present a list of those he's taken to the PD there to light a fire under them. and the PO also.

If everyone will let me know I'll call the Gaffney PD and place a complaint, It's a ways from here but I could take a day put in the drive and file a complaint in person if needed, you may need to PM me info like date mailed, PO #### and amount along with your name and contact info.

Dam, I get tired if the scamers here..... Hope you guys get your brass. I think its about time to go to some kind of system where these guys cant just walk in here with no history and start selling. I have only been here for a few years but this kind of thing is getting worse to be sure.

I hope this turns out to be just an error and it all works out
Posted By: halfmile Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/17/09
This one is almost to the point of filing your complaint in person with the idividual himself.

This kind of stuff is not in keeping with how I grew up and learned ethics.

I'm maybe 1&1/2 hr away from Gaffney but occasioanlly have to go to Greenville on biz anyway and could run up I85 to gaffney.
a call from any LEO's to the gaffney PD would be good. as would a visit in person to the PD. and PO to discuss the matter there.
it would be good to know how many and what amount of $$ involved in US PS money orders - that's mail fraud.
I sent him an email advising thusly.
as near I can tell his fone # is a land line. I called again few minutes ago and got 'leave message'.

I would suggest, that we post this guys scam on other boards so no one else falls into his trap. Put his member name, and real name and address in it. That way someone close to him, or close buy can confront him. Just a thought.

Hey guys here is the proper steps to take if you have been scammed, a member from another site has been very helpful.

Eric Shoemaker also goes by a couple of other names on other boards. ems-1 (on the fireing line) NGadeerHunter83 on (GON in Georgia)

Step 1 Go here, fill out complaint with the USPS.

Step 2 Print out all e-mail communications/private messages

Step 3 Contact the Sheriff's Office/Police Department in Gafney, SC

He doesn't own any property (house,land,etc) in Cherokee County, SC where he lives. But here is what he drives.

Posted By: dynamite Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/18/09
Apparently he now lives in Walker County Georgia and goes by NGadeerHunter83 on GON. He's already ripped off two people here as well. Someone drove by the South Carolina address and it's an empty field. The trailer that was on the land was repossessed several weeks back, the only thing left is a mailbox.

http://forum.gon.com/itrader.php?u=38571

If he in fact has relocated to Walker County Georgia, he could possibly be living here. Check the date on the most recent sale of the house. There are only 3 Shoemaker surnames in all of Walker County.

Very well could be him, the vehicles match. A Honda and a Chevy

He no longer lives in South Carolina. Someone from GON had their brother in law drive by the Gaffney address and there is nothing there but an empty field and a mailbox. I'd say that there is a strong probability that he is now living at the address I listed above. He has 3 trades over at GON with 2 of them being negative where he accepted money but never sent the goods. I contacted the person who met him face to face and left Eric positive feedback. Here's his response

Your dealings with NGaDeerHunter83

You sold him an item on 4-11-09. Is his name Eric Shoemaker?

He has ripped off two people here, several people at the firing lane.com, the S&W forums and 24hr campfire

Not necessarily. The post office could be forwarding them via forwarding address when moving ...
Posted By: luv99s Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/19/09
If the postal money orders were worth a flip, you would be able to stop payment, I went in Friday and it had not been cashed but I could not stop payment knowing this guy is a crook, personal check and it would have been stopped, oh well,will see what happens.

But since your fearless lynch modbleader Hotrod has decided to flame me for living so close, decided that since im w/i an hour of this guy i must be associated with him, decided that even though i have a 300+ A+ rateing at gunbroker and thousands of dollars in transactions on this site that i am somehow suspect, i think i will leave the detective work to him.
hes obviously suited for it.

Ringworm, WTH are ya talking about????? I'm sure most here would be very appreciative of any help you can supply

there is no # six at the address. its rural and single family. there were trailers 1/2 mile down the street for a while.
SD is running the name for wants and warrants, priors and court orderded debt repayments.
not a common name in these parts. something will come up.

WE need a Gafney PD to drop off a computer
Posted By: Marlin45 Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/25/09
now there's an idea - that would establish his location for sure.

Posted By: Idaho_Elk_Huntr Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/25/09
I gave you his location. The ad he put on Craigs list was on May 22, 2009. I emailed him to drop off my computer and he verified his number and address. He is there! Someone who got screwed grow some balls and go knock on his door
Posted By: Marlin45 Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/27/09
bumping this one back up.
it will be awhile before I can shake loose to get down that way, but I plan on it.
all I've got on his fone # is 'leave message'. how did you get him to answer - was the address given you on an email?
Posted By: Idaho_Elk_Huntr Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/27/09
Address and phone number was given to me in an email. If you call tell him you have a computer virus and need him to look at it. Block him from seeing your phone number

alright guys......i don't have a ton of posts on here but have bought many thousands worth and sold alot on here as well.......i was robbed by this piece of trash as well.......I sent money on april 19, to a Jon Brenneman 51 Edward Lane, Flintstone, GA........i sent a PMO for $35, another for $20 and 76 rounds of once fired 45-70 brass.......so i'm out about $100 on top of everyone else's........i have a good friend from college whose dad is the judge in walker county and he is ready to act as well........i've calleed sheriff's office and was told the phone was disconnected.......if i lived closer you can bet your bottom dollar i'd be a knockin, but he's almost 4 hours from me and it seems that the SC craigslist leads are looking really strong......someone (i'll do it if its not already started) needs to document ALL communications from each person and him to make the case as strong as possible........we're already at levels of grand theft....please let me know if i can help in any way.....thanks, matt
Posted By: ugadeer Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/28/09
the craigslist post has been taken down so he's probably on the run again........hasn't been that long since my money and brass were delivered to the GA address so maybe he's going back and forth

I'm not following you here ugadeer? The seller in this thread is going by Eric Shoemaker ... not Jon Brenneman. Do they have a user ID in common?
Posted By: ugadeer Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/28/09
yes....same guy, same user id, etc.....its just that he told me that his name was Jon Brenneman and that's the alias i sent the money orders to.......exact same person that did a ftf gun deal as eric shoemaker.......he may have also used other names
Posted By: Gringo Loco Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/29/09
Interesting. Guess that means it's no big trick to cash a U.S. postal money order then.
Posted By: halfmile Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/29/09
I would say, rather, that it's no big trick to have an accomplice. Or a brother in law. Postal clerks are supposed to see ID, and they do everywhere I go.

Posted By: Gringo Loco Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 05/30/09
Isn't it also possible to endorse them and deposit to a bank account ... bypass the post office? Might still involve an accomplice or open the door to forgery.

Jon Brenneman is or was a mod on GBO. He was stiffing people in the PIF forums on GBO,Cast Boolits and a few other forums.

For the guys that got ripped off by this POS for 40 S&W and .223/5.56 brass I've got some you can have. This is once fired brass used on qualification ranges. 40 is mostly American Eagle and the .223 is a mix of Winchester and LC. The 40 was fired from Glocks and will have a slight buldge from the unsuported part of the chamber. .223/5.56 was fired from AR's. It won't be sorted or cleaned, and numbers may be approximate. Please send me a PM with the amount of brass you ordered and shipping information and I should be able to get to it next week and will mail it parcel post. Offer is good until I run out, in the order I receive a PM. Again this is for those that got ripped off and as I have no way of knowing who got taken for what this is on the honor system.

What was this jokers address?
Posted By: Marlin45 Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 06/14/09
he was in Gaffney, SC but maybe goes back and forth between a Georgia addy.
evidently his Craiglist ad is no longer carried - his PC repair service. but the PO can find him for sure.
lets nail this POS.
Posted By: Idaho_Elk_Huntr Re: WTS Assorted Brass - 06/14/09
OK I just wanted to make sure it wasnt the same as the one I posted this morning. He posted on 2 forums at once at the same time with the same ad, screwed the guys and is gone. But this guy claims to be in AL

I've not heard anything. So much for using postal money orders I guess. I thought they(PMO) were the safest method out there to ship money. Probably just another federal lazy azz sitting behind a desk doing nothing. Rant over!!!
