Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Watch out for MK257

I recently was looking to purchase a leupold freedom 2x7 so I ran I WTB. I was contacted by this gentleman and he said he had a NIB. So I sent him PP money and he said the scope would be sent out Monday which ended being a holiday. So I was guessing the scope would go out Tuesday. He has refused to read my PMs to him. What to do now?

Well, it’s Wednesday, so I’d try being patient.

He’s been on the fire and not even reading my messages! I would say patience is on.

Thinking the same. Not a new member.
Maybe he hasn’t checked PMs. I log on and don’t always check them ...

Nine times out of ten there’s a good reason. He’s an active member with good feedback. You don’t even know that the scope isn’t already in the mail. Patience is a virtue. If this goes on for a week, or two, I’d be concerned. It’s hunting season and was a holiday weekend. Settle down, grasshopper.

Wow.

Kind of hard to miss that flashing envelope.

Some people have a persistent flashing envelope.

Why would you not check your pm’s on something you just sold?

Mine flashes all the time.

Patience grasshopper.

I needed to send some stuff last week. Post Office in the town we were working in was only open 4 hours a day, made it a bitsch to get stuff out. Had to wait a few extra days to ship.

I will be, but this is the same guy that told me he didn’t get my PayPal money for two days. It always post for me within minutes of being sent. Sorry

But you kept your buyers advised....didn't you?

After I didn't ship for a few days after I said I would.

Personally, when in the middle of a deal, I'd be paying attention to and responding to PMs no matter if I'm buying or selling. It's part of building a good reputation around here. If I'd sent $$$ to someone and they suddenly went silent, it raises alarms.

I hope this works out for both parties.

I'll bet he has checked his paypal account.

My PM's go to my email first so there is no rush to click on that flashing icon..

I purchased a Tenzing Predator pack from MK257 October of last year. I mailed him a personal check, and as soon as he received the check he sent the new in box pack. No problem whatsoever.

If I recall, he lives in Vermont and they did just get hit with a pretty heavy snow storm. Even closed our office down in Burlington. He may be deserving of a little benefit of doubt.

This post isn’t intended to trash this gentleman, but he read my messages all weekend long. Even when he’s in the woods. After he got the money I hear nothing, is that the way it works. Maybe in some people’s eyes but not mine. I try and keep a good name on here, but loosing it over $145. Sorry people

I'm confused. What does "Watch out for MK257" mean?

I get being frustrated and upset, and it's not how I would approach it from the sellers perspective, but a single day isn't much time. If you haven't heard anything by monday, then start panicking. Right now just sit tight and give it a few.
