I have recently had someone post on my of selling balls that I have never dealt with before. He put on there that my prices are fishy because they are so cheap shipped. Well the fact is that I get a corporate discount for shipping so I pay next to nothing for shipping. I am getting tired of people putting negative post's on other members topic when they are trying to sell something. I have seen alot of that lately people complaining about how much someone is selling the ball for or other issues. If these memebers have problems why can't they just pm the other person. I think we should start putting these members who post negative reply's on others topics for no reason under the buyer/seller feedback and start exposing these idiots just like we do bad/good sellers, buyers. I am sorry Mr. Bowling Nut that I do not gouge people with shipping and pass on the savings to fellow bowlers. Maybe if we see comments like that we should have everyone send that person a PM and fill the heck out of his mailbox. Like I said before I am just venting from the dumb@ss comments on here when I have been on here for over 2 years and never once interupted in anybodies post. That's all for now.  Here is what he wrote on my topic:

depending on where you ship some these balls i think your prices look fishy 12.00 shipped??? Come on it costs 21.00 to send coast to coast i think you might rethink your prices if you are on the up and up-barry

derek, I know what you are saying.. It is getting harder and harder to sell stuff on here because everyone wants to get into everyones business. The bottom line is if you have something to say about prices being too high or whatever, just send the person a private message.. Don't post crap like that for everyone to see..

I can also vouch for derek being a great buyer/seller..

No, I dont even agree with that. If a person has stupid BS to say like that, they shouldnt even bother PM'ing the person, they should just STFU and deal with it. I can see PM'ing someone to "bargain" with them or try to get a different price, but not to just say there prices are fishy.

TheBowlingKid25,

I am an adult and if someone thinks I am postimng something thats fishy or too expensive, I have no problem with them sending me a message about it. Why should they shut up about it?? If they want to tell me, thats great. I have no problem with that.. I just don't think they should post it out there for everyone to see, UNLESS the person selling the stuff has been known to have ripped someone off. Then everyone needs to post abou the loser, but derek is a good guy and what that guy did was uncalled for..

I dont know, I can see where your coming from. I just think its stupid because most people that have to start stuff about "fishy prices" are the people that get annoying on this site anyways. (then again I know i can get pretty annoying sometimes too)

Was i wrong yes but i have never heard of 6.50 coast to coast and with sparrow having a new name every week and guys from Port Huron ripping people off it makes me wonder how it was possible. I will not be your best buddy i guess Tenpin but hey when i see something to save another person from getting ripped off i am sure as He11 putting my nose into the sh1t. So like in the pm i apoligize but do not feel sorry for being concerned for out of place prices, i guess the general public is getting gouged by ups to ship because i am over 20.00 to ship from vegas to east coast.

That's fine Mr. Bowling Nut that you are concerned for other people, But one fact is that I have been on this site for over 2 years.  I was here when Scott Scriver was running this site if you look at the user list.  In the 2 years that I have been here I have not once changed my user name.  I do believe is 12928 and yours is 17281.  So I don't believe scamming is one of my hobbies.  Think before you type into other peoples post.  If I was Sparrow my number would be alot higher than 12928.
