It really bites that stuff like this is still going on.

He was interested in a ball I had. Glad I sold it to someone else.
Send the bag in good faith? Ouch..

this forum is the answer.
He has been a member '02 if I recall right. I would have though with all the bad posts exposing thieves, only a really dishonorable person would try and steal.
I'm a reasonable person if he has money issues I would take partial payments or whatever. I don't make my living selling used equipment. I just need space or otherwise I would keep every ball/bag I bought. you never know when you are getting rid of the next great ball. (my parents threw out my old Blue Hammer. 6 frames at most)
I have had 8 -12 good dealing here and will make sure I get references when I deal with someone I don't see here. or I get there money first.

I have to agree Omega. I think most of the people here are very reasonable. And as long as the person that we are dealing with does what they say they will, or explains when they can't, we are fine. But no contact for that long is unexcusable.

Hmmm,
I had a dealing with him.
He sent money. After it arricved I sent ball.
REgards,

I just don't understand whats going on with people like that.. How do they go thru life doing stuff like that??

it is pretty silly to send something out b4 you have $$$ in hand.
In a long-distance transaction between two individuals, neither of which has a store with a reputation to protect, one person has to trust the other, or the transaction cannot take place.
Why do I have to send you the money before you send me the product? Maybe you should send me the bag, and then I'll send you the money. Why does the guy with the greenbacks always have to provide the initial trust?
OmegaBowler showed good faith by sending the bag at (what he thought was) the same time the buyer was sending the money. I don't see why he should be made to feel stupid for doing what he did.
