What is the ball you sent him? You're indicating that you decided a TRADE with him .. you sent out your ball and he RECEIVED it already .. is trying to deal with that ball and the balls you were expecting in TRADE have NOT YET been received! That doesn't sound TOO GOOD! When did he RECEIVE your ball? Why would he being DEALING for it so quickly? I can understand your concern! Please state what the ball was that you sent HIM!

I recieved the ball friday.

There have been a ton of bad dealings recently, but I say give this guy a shot.  He hasn't run off, or changed names, and he's given a pretty valid reason for the delay.  UPS doesn't deliver on Sundays, D-U-H.  Has anyone ever reported a bad dealing with this guy before?  Give it another couple days before you go crazy.  

I'm in the middle of a deal with PerfectStorm that's been going on for probably over a month now.  I sent him a Super Charge and a Time Zone, both of which I'm pretty sure have been traded away already (I'm positive the Time Zone has, lol, I sent it straight to the guy he traded it to), and I have yet to receive anything, BUT, that's what we agreed on.  I made a request, and he's been looking for it.  No one has reported a bad dealing with him, so I'm not worried in the LEAST.  The communication has been excellent, and unless it's 2010 before I get a ball, I'm not gonna say another word.  I held up my end, I have the utmost confidence he's holding up his.  

My point is, give the guy a couple more days.  Again, UPS doesn't deliver on Sundays, so you shouldn't have even posted anything until tomorrow.  Also, he stated that you gave him an incorrect pin, which means he could have made a big post on here about you trying to scam him or something.  The guy's being upfront and cool about it, chill.

"Oh I'll find those stairs, I whip they butt too.  They won't know which way they going.  Give me a step right here and now, I'll step all over it, kick it to the curb.  I am the stair masta, I've masta'd the stairs."

Ok, sending it by USPS was DUMB.  UPS or Fedex should be mandatory, and tracking numbers should be given quickly.  I still think you should have waited a few more days though, being that however it was shipped, it wouldn't have gotten to you today in any case.  I have to give mutant man credit for sticking around, that earns him some respect, but USPS?  Honestly, snail mail's a bad idea for anything more than letters.  UPS has a SERIOUS reputation for getting stuff to you as quickly as possible in great shape, you (mutant man) shouldn't squabble over a few bucks.  What pin length was on the box, and what was the actual pin of the ball?  Doug Sterner sent me a ball in a trade, and he actually crossed out the pin that was on the box and wrote down the actual EXACT pin length before he shipped it to me.

I'm not condemning anyone .. or for that matter .. phrasing anyone. But HAM your deal was all AGREED UPON .. you are waiting because it was AGREED UPON .. that doesn't apply here.

From what I hear MM has done deals before .. did he use USPS then also? How could any buyer be happy with that? Then NM sends his ball to get there FAST .. then sees it being RESOLD and hasn't seen anything from the trade on his ball .. don't you think he should be concerned? What does NM do if the ball is sold and he still has nothing?

I don't think NM did WRONG .. in fact I probable would have reacted the SAME WAY! Someone tells me they had problems and couldn't get the balls to delivery, yet he had time to construct deals on the received ball?  

I take NO EXCEPTION to the action taking by NM who stood up to his end of the DEAL! I wouldn't want to see my ball sold by the guy I'm dealing with and still NOT have the exchange ball in my HANDS!

Not too long ago I read where PCHEE teamed up with another from BR and won FIRST PLACE in a tournament. It seems he's still in the bowling game .. I try to follow most of the posts here .. but I haven't seen anything from him. I do sort of miss his CRAZY STORIES .. always came up with something that put a smile on your face and a desire to comment on .. I guess he doesn't have the time any more .. always hoped that he realizes that he's MISSED!

NOTE: My apologies to NM for straying from his post!

NEWMANADAN hasn't come back on this topic and indicated that the ball(s) have been delivered and today is TUESDAY!

My only comment on this is related to the PIN .. from what I recall reading on this (and I know none of the individuals involved) but I thought I read that NEWMAN gave the box that he received the ball in and had quoted the PIN placement as it was on THAT BOX. Again how anyone can take exception to that is BEYOND ME!

I'd like to know if MUTANT MAN ever got the balls to NEW MAN or are they STILL IN TRANSIT?
