***UPDATE***

Since the last post, I have received the Columbia Flipside Wired directly from him. The other 2 (Track Arsenal Aggresives) were sent out by his distributor yesterday (with tracking #). His distributor has been...and still is...very sick. He is trying to play catch up now. Just thought I'd let y'all know. Just give it some time...remember how cheap you're getting these brand new balls and let that give you patience!

Big Willy Style

PS...I wouldn't hesitate to do buisness with this man again in the future!!!

I've been in a similar situation as Willy.  I won a drawing and decided to buy a ball from Ike at the same time.  I got the Big Deal that I picked as my "freebie,"  but his guy accidentally sent me a red pin instead of a green pin ZC.  Then he got sick, and I've been waiting.  I've also had the bad luck of his guy not having the specific balls I was looking for, as it seems Brunswick gave him all red pins in his last shipment.  I'm still waiting, but confident I'll have my second ball soon.

Ozsweet won Drawing #25, he asked for a Track ball, and said that he got the tracking number for it. So I switched, to a Track. Ike said he put the order in last Friday (June 17), I haven't heard a single word back. I have sent him a PM everyday asking for status.


I recd the tracking # but the ball was never delivered to FedEx. After 2 PMs, I sent an email indicating "NO ball" - I recd an email from Ike that his guy was sick. I asked that he communicate a little better since it was frustrating to not hear anything.

Each of us entered the drawings an unknown # of times. For every person who paid $14 or $28, there were other who may have paid $140 or more.

I know Ike has a lot of friends and respect on this site and I think his idea was a good one but HE is responsible for the balls and the communication since HE received the $$.

Anyway, this is not to bash Ike but to UPDATE you since my User ID was mentioned in this thread. I am still confident I will get the ball. But expected it within a reasonable time.

I will be the first to say that I am sure there are some messages that I haven't been able to respond too because of all the messages i have in my inbox and email from ebayers and etc.  But DC I am not on 24/7, so if it takes me a day or two to respond it doesn't mean i didn't read them, just means i wasn't online that day.

I don't think the problem is with Ike at all, he seems to be a great guy and wants to help.  The problem is when you buy a ball or get a ball through one of his raffles, you're not dealing DIRECTLY with the source of your ball.  You're dealing with Ike who is trying to deal with his distro guy, and you have little recourse if it's taking awhile.  You really have a couple of options, you can elect to pay a little more to go through Buddies' or the like, where you will get faster shipping, or you can save a few bucks by going through Ike knowing you may have to wait longer.  As far as the raffles go, it's hard to complain when you get a 130$+ ball for 14 bucks or 56 bucks or whatever, just wait it out!

I recently received a tracking # from Ike, and according to my shipping number, the estimated time of delivery is TODAY. However, the only information written is that "Package data transmitted to FedEx". Does that mean only my info was transmitted, but my ball was never dropped off? Why do they taunt me with that shipping date then?


They want to provide info asap so they assume a shipping date immediately after notification. If item not scanned at FedEx, they drop the delivery date.

Again, this not bashing but sellers need to be reponsive, especially when they already have $$ in hand. People keep talking about $14 balls. It took me 3 drawings & $84 to win. Still not bad but you could be in for $200, who knows. That's simply not the issue.

Anyway, since there was never a guarantee of a time frame, we must be patient.
