This was a trade. The ball he traded arrived in very poor condition. It sounds like a Freight Train rolling down the lane. When I flip it in my oil towel, I can feel all the uneven bumps all over the ball... I had my local proshop operator take a look at the ball... He even resurfaced it and took the time to sand out individual spots on the ball he saw that were uneven, but it didn't help much. My pro says the ball is unusable and should be thrown out.

thebigfour claimed to have had this ball resurfaced before he sent it. He also claimed he rolled it and it was "fine" when he threw it. He defended himself by saying he described the ball in "decent condition" in the first place and should not be held liable. This is not my idea of "decent" condition.

thebigfour was not willing to properly resolve the situation. He refused to pay for me to ship the ball back to him. He refused to ship my ball back to me. When he recieved my ball he is quoted saying the following in a PM to me: "The ball was in GREAT shape just as you described and i wanted to thank you for a smooth quick transaction." He even posted positive feedback in this forum. There is no reason I should have to pay anything to have this situation resolved since I lived up to my half of the deal without delay. He is at fault.

This situation remains unsatisfactory and unresolved. I am not going to persue this any further. It's simply not worth my time to deal with it. However, I did want to let everyone know about this situation. I strongly reccomend NOT dealing with this user in the future. I'm very dissapointed to say the least. Thanks for reading.
