    DEADBEAT - Wrechhog

    Not only did he take a huge box of reloading components and not pay, he stuck me with the $22 shipping as well. His name is Triet Le in Hudson, NY (will leave out the address) in case he makes another account.

    Tis post was approved by 45nut (Ken) after he also tried to assist.

    I would put in the address, in case he comes back under an alias, or posts on another forum. Make him as easy to spot as possible.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Damn right. I have earned every derogatory title in my life at one point in time or another. No mistake I havent made and no bad decision I havent been guilty of. But NONE in my life have made me feel lower than wild pig poop (and yall know how much I hate a pig) than taking something that I shouldn't have and telling a lie. And these guys do both.

    I am a dang fool on any good day of my life. But I am an honest, trustworthy fool. I wish these guys would take a lesson.
    I came into this world kicking, screaming, and covered in someone elses blood. I plan to go out the same way.

    Mr Le, used a shipping location (UPS Store) to receive his shipment. Perhaps a call to UPS and a fraud claim will get you the lead on his real address and a phone number.

    After almost getting burned by another member here, I have taken the posture that NOTHING ships now until I am paid.

    I'm fearful that even the PIF stuff (especially the large box of brass, etc) will die because of these kinds of guys.

    It is real irritating to be had by a crook, but I dont believe it is a good idea to post where he can be found. If something happens to him, you will be at the top of the list of "persons of interest ". Now that will really ruin your day.

    Looks like he joined last year, and only had 6 posts.

    Mods,

    Would it be worth increasing at least the number of posts for both selling AND/OR buying? Some of the buyers are jumping on sale offers with only a handful of posts under their belt, which is not much time to establish a reputation. -- That said, it should also be stressed that it is best to have money in hand before mailing items out! Its just good business.

    Well I really don't know how that could be implemented all it would take is just a PM to the seller to bypass it, I guess it's going to be up to you guys if you want to do business with them or not.

    To bad it was not his physical address. Might have been able to help you out. Most of us are pretty good people here in New York.

    Wow, that sure makes ME feel welcome. Does this mean that I am going to have to begin building a message count just to meet a minimum? I always thought that if you did not have anything of value to add, don't.

    I have bought, sold and swapped with some that have already commented on this thread. I am not aware that any of them have a problem with that.

    If there is a new buyer that you don't know, wait until the payment has cleared, before shipping. It seems most of the ones that have proved to be problems, have been around longer.

    I feel the same way Dusty. I have an over 600 rating with transactions on Ebay and 100% satisfaction rating with the ones that bothered to leave feedback. You can bet anyone unhappy would let you know on there. This is for both buying and selling. Anyone wanting to check I go by the same name there as here. It looks like the way some want it you have to be a chataholic to be trustable.
