Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Calling Out Palmetto..........

As a new member of this site, I would expect the seller not to ship an item purchased until payment is received and if payment is by check, for the check to clear. I have bought and sold items on this site and other sites and have not had any issues with any transaction. I also communicate with the other party until the deal is complete and finished for both parties.

aalf,
My heart goes out to you. Hard to know what to do. Sounds like you are on it.

I have been very fortunate, as well. This site has some of the nicest people I could imagine to deal with. Truly wonderful folks.
Every once in a while, there are a couple that get you.

I have been burned before. Not much to do but pound them, or move on. I honestly wish you the best success, to recover your funds.

Wanted to say thank you to all on here, that do their best. There are a bunch, for sure.

Go look at his previous posts about his VTR in 308 posted in Mid-Jan.

He talks about trying to get his mag box out of the gun thru the action, instead of taking the stock off. The mag box gets stuck then he strips a screw from the action while trying to get the stock off and fix the jammed bottom metal.

Hes a dumbass.

This is pretty sad...Over $125!?!? Why wouldn't he just pay it and be done??

I had dealings with him back in December on a trade. It finally turned out alright, and I was never at risk of being ripped off.

On 12-5, after several weeks of him saying he wanted to go through with trading a Conquest for a bow, I wrote:

"Jeff,

I'm wondering where you are with this. You've said more than once you will send pictures, but haven't, as well as your address. If we are going to trade your Conquest for the bow, I will need to receive the scope before I send the bow. I'm growing hesitant."

On 12-7 he said:
"It's on it's way.
Go ahead and check it out and let me know what you think.
If you like it send the bow on down."

On 12-12 I wrote:
"Do you have any shipping information on the scope?"

The following day he responded:

"Fedex actually brought scope back to office and my secretary was out because of her mothers funeral.

We had not put your contact phone number on the shipping package.
It will be there tomorrow by 10 or 3 pm.
They ended up not needing a contact number."

I have no clue what the problem was with my shipping number on the package. However, it did arrive on 12-14 and was in good condition. I can't interpret a man's intentions, and the deal turned out fine in the end, but it was a bit awkward along the way. At the end of the day, I believe in giving the benefit of the doubt. I hope things work out well for you.

As for the mayor thing, here is what he wrote:
"I'm the mayor here and there's only 180 of us in one section of land in the middle of the Atchafalaya basin!!!"

Lookie what I found........wonder what the excuse is now.....

Mayor- shmayer!!!
He ran unopposed in a town of 175 people.
With a town that small you should be able to get him on the phone around lunchtime .
That would shake him loose to be told he has a phone call while he's at lunch and have you on the other end...
I'd call Buddens Store and ask if he's there.(337) 623-4711
Trust me. You leave a stern but polite message about him owing you money and it will get to him.

this guy really has 1001 excuses doesnt he?

Hey it could be worse.........would you deal with a guy(?) who had 30 screen names....

maybe call his daddy.....

I don't know any of the details about this gripe, but I know Palmetto very well and absolutley guarantee that nothing is being stolen.

I did call on 3-7. The gal wouldn't say where he was, or if or when he'd be back. She was being very protective for some reason. Obviously not the first guy looking for him.

She was wondering what I need to talk to him for. Really wanted to tell her it was none of her GD business. I told her it was a business deal and gave her my first name and number for him to return my call. Of course that has gone as expected.

Wow, the guy intended to steal from you from the beginning and makes no bones about it.

Bullshitt

Why don't you pony up and send aalf his $125.00 and then collect from the dumphuck?!

If you know him so well you should tell him to pay his freaking bills or pay it yourself and then you can deal with his sorry ass.

Looks like we think alike GW!

Didnt you offer up something similar?

Fool me once..

Read my first post.....it'll get you up to speed.

Seems to be pretty clear to everyone else.......
