Those are by far the worst plug jobs ever done.
Yes that ball with "PBA" logo on it is a Storm Blue Thunder.
From reading this post along with several others, it almost seems like buying/selling/trading on here isnt worth it anymore. I have been a loyal member to this site for over 4 years now and have done lots of buying/selling probably upwards of 50-60 balls total. I personally have never had a problem on either end and this is way before the "buyer-seller feedback section" was needed because 99% of the members at the time were honest and true to their word on transactions. Now it seems everybody is bashing everybody for deals falling through, getting hosed left and right, scamming and fraud. Of those from what I read, almost ALL of these deals are coming from "younger" people, under 21-22 years old (younger for I am all of 25) and some even under 18 which means they more than likely will not get into any kind of trouble except for their parents would do to them which is probably nothing.
An idea for this site should be 18+ (proof with credit card or something), charge an annual fee (nothing much like a few bucks, but only to prove that they are legal age), only ONE screen name is allowed and they are not allowed to change their name more than once a year. Must have a valid email address, valid ebay account name, and if possible a valid paypal account address. This way for buying/selling there are several ways of making sure a deal goes through and if something happens:
1st offense, suspended for 10 days
2nd offense suspended for 30 days
3rd offense, banned for life
Everytime all funds/equipment will be returned or else valid legal action can/will be taken by proper people, starting with the owners of the site. I could keep going on and on but I have probably already stirred the pot enough to get the offenders riled up. To all the true members who arent here to "screw" anybody else over on a deal, lets get something like this together. To all the members who are causing all these problems....make room on your ignore list for me because I am tired of this site slowly turning into a scam-fest.
Off of the soapbox and back to work with me!
