I'm confused, do you recall these emails?  Don't mistake my desire to give you the benefit of the doubt with a commitment to let you take advantage of me.  I sent you a message this morning letting you know the status of shipment.  I will continue to do so, but not on an hourly basis.  Mike was supposed to get back to me last night with shipping info but hasn't yet...I WONDER IF HE HAS A LIFE OTHER THAN BEING ON HERE...HMMMMMMM, point being you dont see me pissin and moanin about it.  This is why I've been a member since 2001, but choose not to offer my old equipment to this forum.

Alex,

The Ace will always be "the one that got away". From what Mike, Bolwergee, says you are trustworthy, and that's enough for me. It's just that I've bought 4 bowling balls in the past week. Ah what the heck, if it's not too late I'll take a 5th, and sell my overtime to cover to the cost. If you haven't agreed to sell it to someone else already, give me the address to send the payment to, and I will either send cash or a postal money order according to your preference. Let me know, and I can have it in the mail by tomorrow. Thank you, either way and sorry for the hesitation.

PS Don't think it would work the same way on Ebay, it's not the nice little community you have on ballreviews.com. ;-)

Thanks anyways Jared,  I have a couple other offers pending on the Ace.  Before I shipped a ball without payment first I'd rather leave on the rack at the bowl...lol.  Interesting proposal though, maybe I'll try that on ebay...LOL.

My messages weere completely rational and devoid of opinion. If it had been less than two days I sincerely apologize for my miscalculation. I have had maybe 12 hours of sleep in the past 3 days, and have checked ball reviews hourly as a break from studying for finals. I didn't expect you to ship the ball out before receiving payment to begin with, but you said you would ship it the next day and I believed you. That was an error on my part. Had you shipped it on the 15th, you could not have cancelled shipment today, the 17th. If you knew that you weren't going to ship it when you said you were, then you could have told me sooner. I honestly don't see what you found so offensive about the messages posted here. I never once expressed doubt. I never told people not to trust you or even to exercise caution. Everything there is true except for the 2 day time frame, though by the time you replied to any of this it had been closer to 3 days. How do you say that I am "prone to exageration" if I had only exaggerated once with the preceding words "in all fairness it has only been", and what would being "prone to exaggeration" have to do with whether or not I sent the money? As stated in an e-mail sent to you on the 14th I've had several sucessful transactions with the people I'd listed, and there isn't any negative feedback, or exaggeration, on this forum to give you any reason to doubt my trustworthiness. As for you, not having any references of reputation, aside from the duration of your membership, and making mountains of mole-hills by personal attacks based more on speculation than evidence, I'm sorry. Your reply on this strand and how it will be perceived by others will do your reputation far more damage then any "two day" exageration. Live up to your name, catchaclue. Worried about not receiving payment? Try accepting Paypal! Send the ball or send the money back when you receive it, you'll have them both. The ball is in your court.

Look for me in the upcoming PBA Tour! I'll be the guy in the back row with the foam finger singing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" during the 7th inning.

I agree with bowlergee. Thanks for an awesome ball catchaclue.
