srr824x- Do not deal with!
« on: October 21, 2012, 06:41:48 PM »
Do not deal with Sean Rangel, under the user name of srr824x. He has posted for sale a Storm IQ. After payment was agreed to and sent, he has only replied to one email. This email he states that he has been in the hospital and the ball would ship the next day. No more messages have been responded to on this site. Come to find out that he has done this before to TheChosen1. It has been almost a month since payment was made.

Thanks for the heads up, and I'm sorry you had to go through that.  People that pull this crap make all transactions look bad.  At least you mentioning it to the rest of us on here lets us know never to deal with him, which we all appreciate.

There are a ton of legitimate sellers out there though that many of us have dealt with before.  Doug Sterner, Dave81644 and Pat Patterson are 3 that come right to the top of my head right now that always do what they say they will.  Even though I haven't bought or sold anything with Doug or Pat, they have very good feedback on here.  Dave sold me a Track 505T last year and everything was flawless with the transaction.  I absolutely would buy from him again.

I have sold and bought many from this site. I guess it eventually will happen if you make enough transactions. Just want to make sure this p.o.s. doesn't pull this on anyone else.

I note that srr824x has 18 posts on this site.  Hate to say it but I won't purchase a ball from any new selllers that don't have past transactions.  One shouldn't put everyone in that basket but it's a sign of the times.  I see way to many excuses.  No access to net, sick, I had a loss in the family yadda yadda.  Seller knows he is gonna sell the ball....double box it, and ship it off it's not that hard.

If you live in a large enough community craigslist is one way to go or give them to youth programs.

I've only sold a few balls on this site and I send first and receive the payment later.  All went well except for one transaction.  I sent the ball and for some reason, the check was always lost in the mail.  Finally, I was able to find his phone number, called and scared the piss out of him and he finally paid up.

That was probably the last transaction that I will do on this site.

All it takes is one to mess up a good thing.
