Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Bad Seller: failure2fire(Matt/Rodney Howe)????

Shoot guys, I thought that I had this resolved back in June when I posted on this and "failure2fire" Matt/Rodney Howe reached out to me and offered to refund my money AND send me the GPS that I had paid for back in March. I thanked him but said to keep the money and mail the GPS. He said that he would and that he would forward the tracking to me. I never received the GPS or the tracking number.

I have left several texts, phone calls and PMs but I haven't heard back from him and I see that he has been active on the site in the past few days so I'm hoping that he will see this and get in touch with me.

Below is the original post from June 17th:

I know that I don't have many posts here on multiple the fire but I have done dozens of transactions here and hundreds over on Accurate Reloading and I have never had an issue until now....

Back in February I purchased a GPS unit from member "failure2fire".

Anyway, when the GPS didn't arrive after 3 weeks I contacted him on 3/18/20. He replied a week later, said that he was sorry, he had left for training and that his wife had forgotten to mail it and that he would put it in the mail the next day.

When it still failed to arrive I contacted him via PM here on the fire and via the email address that his Paypal account is linked to.

I have tried to contact him at least once a month but he has never responded. Luckily it wasn't much money, but I would like to get it resolved.

He wasn't on this forum for a while, but he was back last week(6/7/20) but he did not respond to my PMs.

If anyone knows how to get a in contact with him please let me know.

Thanks guys!

He’s pretty high up on the NO-GOOD-MF list as far as I’m concerned. He’s wanted to buy a couple things from me in the past assuring that money is on the way and can I ship ASAP.
Moma didn’t raise no fool....

On every courthouse lawn there should be a tall tree and a short rope....

Oh, and as Clint Eastwood said “ain’t digging no hole, buzzard got to eat same as worms “

Same song and dance on a firearms purchase my partner made with him. No call no show. He finally got his item but there was no need for the silence...if I remember right it was a few weeks.

With all due respect this happens far to often for him to be “on trainings, away for work, etc.” especially when he signed in/posted on another forum in the midst of this.

I would be a little cautious about dealing with someone with a name like failure2fire
Hope you get it worked out

Just pulled this up

I feel like these outdoor classified forums run on a lot of trust and honor. I have done hundreds of transactions and never have I run into something like this. I really thought that he would come through after he and I spoke in June, but here I am....

This has been going on for seven months? If so, doesn’t look good.

Address, name, phone number, email........make it all public knowledge. Someone might be close enough to say hi.

Ph uck he’s in the Army I probably find out what unit he’s in right now and fire and email off to his 1SG saying he’s ripping people off..

Thanks for the heads up on that slime.

Post his name and number, lemme see if I can help you.

Thanks for the support guys. I haven't heard from him but I'll let you all know when I do. And I'm not worried about the money. I just like to see these classifies stay honest.

Post his info, smoke his ass out!

If we’re gonna TTT, let’s TTT the current one, too.

I bought a .325 WSM model 70 from him last year. He got his money and it took a couple of weeks for him to ship the rifle with lots of promises of him shipping it, then him not doing it. I finally and luckily got the rifle but I won’t ever do business with him again.

If you all want to blow him up, I’ll post his phone number if Jason is okay with it.

Was it a Featherweight Stainless?

Hey guys. He got a hold of me this morning and he has refunded my money. So this saga that began in late February is over.

For the record, I never posted any of his contact info- I only posted his name and screen name. He has said that he is getting harassing emails from people on here and I just want to make it clear that I didn't ask for or encourage any of you to do that, but I do appreciate your support.

Thanks again,
Jason Brown

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I sent the POS a PM to make it right.
