So tempting...
« on: June 10, 2009, 05:11:33 AM »
I bought a Brunswick Twisted Fury Solid the other day for a song.  When I got home from work last night the box was sitting on the porch.  I opened it up and much to my surprise there is a Lane #1 Retro THS in the box.

I contacted the guy who sold it to me.  He did the same thing I did a few weeks ago...mailed two balls at the same time and mixed up the labels. (At least I'm not the only dolt )

I really like how that THS looks and it's really tempting to just punch it up and take it for a ride...

I'm betting whoever was expecting the THS was a little ticked when he found a TFS in the box instead.

Send it back! Don't lose integrity over something like this get a refund for the twisted, and buy a THS (they're really cheap right now) and grab an inhaler cause you're going to need it when you see how hard the THS hits and how controllable it is!

No question about sending the THS on to the guy that bought it.  The seller is forwarding a shipping label to me.  Although I said it was tempting to drill it up, I never seriously considered doing it.  As my Dad used to say to me, "Just keep doing the next right thing."

 Similar situation happened to me a couple years back. Bought a USED ball from a guy, but opened the box to find a NIB GOLD NUGGET!

 I had been wanting one, but did the right thing. Forwarded it on to the correct person, but had to wait an extended period for mine because the other guy wouldn't ship mine out until he got his. guess he was afrais he would end up with nothing. It all worked out.
