Many moons ago I wired a friend's house for him and before he got it done he had a serious "Family Emergency" that bankrupted him and created all sorts of issues in every conceivable venue...
I told him repeatedly to forget what he owed me, I understood his situation and would do anything I could to help him.
Moons later he called and invited me to a steak barbecue at his place. There, he gave me a check for what he owed, plus a chunk more. He said I was the only one that gave him space and so I was the only one to get paid in full.
It was a great object lesson in understanding how bad someone else's problem might be... Friends garner a bit more latitude than some guy peddling his wares on the internet, wouldn't you say?

Absolutely, but with no information beyond this thread who knows what is really going on? Matt and Calvin clearly know the situation, the rest of us, not so much.

Hey now, no fun is had on an internet board if we reign in the wild speculation and conjecture - even, perhaps especially, at the expense of someone else!  (But, yeah...)

If anyone cares, still nothing from Matt. No scope, no PayPal refund. No text or e mail. No steak dinner or big check.

Sounds like Calvin has info. Have you two been in touch?

Being its a scope; doesn't paypal have protection for this kind of BS?

Based on what he had handed to him he did what he was allowed to do legally...

Do you always make big assumptions based on very limited information or are you saving it all for me?

Wait a minute. Is your scope on Calvins rifle? Just asking. Sorry you are getting screwed, this would have been a lynching over on the Free Classifieds section.
