Finally this thread is getting somewhere.
What I hate is when my wife takes her sweet ass time mowing the yard without any regard for the price of gas. If I didn't have a full ice chest of beer I don't know if I could stand to watch her. Laughed my butt off reading this. I am surfing the net with a beer in my hand on the patio while my wife is riding the mower around! Life is good. Neighbor lady said I should be hung for not mowing. I said "Lady, I am. That's why she mows."

I'd like to offer my services as a middle man, all y'all just send your money, rifles, scopes, and pistols too me for "holding" and once I've proofed the items as campfire worthy I will forward them along. Since I recently became a Campfire Bwana I won't even charge you for my services  Mike

nsaqam is saying something, but I've had him on ignore for years now, so who cares? Jerry, nsaqam must not have a life to live. With 11356 posts in 4 1/3 years is one hell of a bunch of nose sticking. I do gun smithing work also but don't use the forum for socializing. My time is too precious to live on the forum. I need to earn a living. Purchasing items on the fire allows me to complete some jobs or earn a profit at a gun show to help pay the gas and lights. But I DO HAVE A LIFE outside this great forum. I don't live here only visit when I have business or questions. On another note, when I catch up with my back log (which seems like never) I will put together that 458 Lott with a break for teddy bears in the alders. I found a donor action for the ailing barrel I got from you last century. Should make a very handy life saver.

Money sent today. All this could have been avoided if the OP had sent me a heads up that the refund check I sent hadn't made it to him. Again I had NO IDEA that he hadn't recieved his money. Here are images of the postal money order sent out today Express mail ie next day. However the clerk did inform me the quickest it would get to WY was Monday afternoon even though I was paying the full next day price. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/mattpair/IMAG0886.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/mattpair/IMAG0885.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/mattpair/IMAG0884.jpg) The OP could have had his money weeks ago if he had just gave me notice that the refund I sent didn't make it. Instead he sat in silence and then thought it would be a good idea to try and make me out to be a complete ass. I'm glad you are getting your money and this deal is over.

Or you could have sent the refund with a requirement that he sign for it and the receipt be returned to you.

The address supplied was a PO box, can you get delivery signature with a PO box? I don't know. The orignal refund was a personal check sent in an envelope with a regular stamp.
I also could have sent him $65 in pennies as his refund this time around for trying to make this such a public chitstorm rather than contact me directly about it which he didn't do when my personal check didn't make it to him.

No Joby. That's the latrine at the Dust Bowl, NTC, Fort Irwin, CA. Time was, everyone training for desert warfare had been there at one time or other..
Actually it's funny as Hell as we had been training to fight in the Desert for eleven years before the conflict started in 1990.

No they need a Campfire Classifieds Troll category.

Time to add my two cents.If i'm the op,it would sure raise my eyebrows to think the USPS screwed up twice,once with the ammo and the second time with the refund especially with the length of time the deal went on.I know a lot of guys on here have a hardon for paypal,but for the small fee for a $65.00 refund it could have been sent a "gift" and the man would have had his money and the fees incured are probably about the same as it cost him for the mo and stamp.A pm or e-mail from the op warning him of going public might also have thrown the redflag to the seller.A Paypal account doesn't cost anything to set up and could have settled a bad situation in a hurry.I also agree that the seller should have never sent the ammo USPS.There have been enough threads on this subject and enough warning posters in the post office itself to discourage it.If it can't be sent in a timely fashion the buyer should have been told that ahead of time.Most problems can be worked out if there is proper communication "before" the deal is finalized.

I frankly love Paypal and if your account is set up right there are ZERO fees for buyer or seller when using the "gift" option.
I recently discovered that there are ZERO fees for either party if you use the "services" option.
Sure makes payment either way very very easy and quick.

Great post fellas2. The usps has really pissed me off lately too. I recently sent a usps money order out using priority mail for a pistol I bought from a guy on gunbroker. Ive been tracking it and its going all over the country side and has taken almost a week to get there which is not typical of them. Good thing Im able to track it though or maybe id think the guy ran off with my money....Moral of the story is chit happens but I really think matt has done everything he could possibly do and maybe we should all learn from this in one way or another....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
