Anybody here had bad dealings?
Not sure what to do about it?
-
No. But I've been waiting 5 months on a trade and am still holding out. Gotta have faith!
-
i traded him some locust to use for glue on nocks, knife handles, ect.didnt cost much to send only 15 bucks or so. it did take a couple months to get the sinew he sent me. he had the wrong address once i guess, then had to repackage the couple of strands of leg tendon fibers because the pacxkage { envelope?}broke, but all in all i eventually got it ;) added it to my glue scraps eventualy ill use it for glue......wish you luck with your trades
-
Hey guys, we need to discuss Credit References in PM's or emails. But, let me know how the trade comes out and if he needs to get added to my list. I've got a new name that will be added shortly if I don't see a bow in the mail soon.
-
What would the best course of action be if a trade is not fulfilled?
-
Seems to me it would be better to get it out in the open. Let people know what they are in for, or at least let people tell their side of the story and not have it a one sided affair.
-
We can't allow that on the open forum. All trades are between the ones making the trade. PA has nothing to do with the trades and is not responsible for them or the traders. It's up to you to decide if someone is a reliable trader. We've added the "Good Dealings" section to let folks know who has been reliable in past trades. If you feel someone has taken advantage of you contact Eddie(Mullet) so he can enter the name in his book. If you have questions about trading with someone Eddie can tell you if they are on his list or not.
-
OK, got it.
-
Cant mention names, but this guy has done nothing but beg since he signed up a year ago. Zero contributions otherwise. I'm sure most can come up with a name. Stay away from him.

I sent out some cane to a guy in Florida he was supposed to send me some feathers...... Well that was back in February and I have never received any feathers! Went to send him another pm today and I can't. I see his name still there and his messages but I can't respond to him. I think I sent the message to someone else. Sorry about that. Anyhow I'm out some cane and postage and got nothing. Well I done my part and held up to my part of the trade so you live and learn. Guess there is going to be bad apples everywhere you go. That just sucks for mankind!

I've got some extra feathers rough cut to about 5". Turkey season isn't to far away so I'll be getting more soon. PM me your address and I'll get some headed your way.

Same kid screwed you that screwed Doobs, Scott. He is gone now, so don't plan on getting anything but do plan on nobody else getting screwed by him. Sad part is he hid behind religion and church groups, that really gets me fired up.
Clint the stud will do you right.
-
Yah I did think I was going to get anything in return after I sent him like 3 messages and he didn't answer the last one. Oh well you live and learn this one he will have to answer for in the long run.
-
Oddly enough when I threatened him via PM, he didn't reply to me. But he did cancel his account I'm told. That's good, we don't need any losers on this site. We can all disagree and bicker our opinions all we want, but thievery is another thing.
-
It was worth a small loss to me to have a liar gone from the site. I did at roughly the same time have some great trades with a couple of other new guys, so 2 good and 1 that will have to live with his lack of self respect and integrity. Not bad overall. ;D
Honesty and integrity of the members on here is what makes it work as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks to you all.
-
Hey, is that the same one that I sent a bow to for his Youth Pastor?
-
If it is who you guys are talking about, I think I've just been taken for a dozen perfectly spined and weighed shafts. >:( Not cool!!
G-Monee >:D
-
I'm not much of a gossiper, and can understand why we don't want to bad mouth people on the site, but with all the problems this one person has caused, and with many of you knowing who it is anyway, why should you keep the identity a secret? I don't want to end up in a trade with this guy, but have no way to learn of his identity.
Not to cause trouble, just my 2 cents.

Read the title in the first 4 entries of this posting. I put his name in the original post.
fredie
I know we don't want to talk bad of people here, but if we can announce the great trades for other members info. then I think it is just as important to protect each other when we know someone is a B*llshi*(3tter
In this case he has cancelled his membership and can't be contacted even if someone wanted to, except maybe by an administrator.
So long fredie :'(
-
And yes Mr. Mullet, it is the same guy who I know at least was looking for one. What a saintly fella.
-
When I work out a trade with a new guy or someone I'm unfamiliar with I ask them to send me a picture of the shipping receipt before I ship my part of the trade. I try to politely explain why I am requesting that. So far nobody has had a problem doing that.
-
When i first started trading i would ship and tell them to ship what it was worth once they got it, still do on occasion, most of the guys on here you can trust implicitly
-
It takes a massive lack of brains to make this many bad trades all the while handing out your address. Eddie, he lives in FLA. Maybe he is close by? Maybe he'd like to have coffee with you? :)
-
Coming from a newbie to the site I don't see how it would be rude to expect a shipping receipt or just get your end first before shipping. I mean if you build a reputation as a respected individual on this site the ball is in your court. An earnest reputation and good name is to be esteemed yah?
-
Absolutely lumberman
-
Say what you mean and mean what you say, pretty f'ing easy.
-
I've only had one trade go bad and that was many years ago. I try to work on trust and so far it has worked as planned.
The reason we started "Good Dealings" was to let everyone know who is trustworthy. Eddie's black book tells you who ain't! ;) Just ask Eddie, he'll tell you if they are in his book.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I traded with the guy and gave him the benefit of The doubt. I try and trust people till they give me a reason guess he gave me a reason. I'll be a lil more caushes next time I'm I don't recognize the name.
-
There had been no complaints until after everyone sent him stuff so he wasn't in my book. He does live about 3 hours away on the way to my brothers house. Does anybody have his address, because I can't find the one I shipped the bow to. I might do a little information hunting on the internet and maybe give his Mom and Dad a call and let them know what their son has been up to, if he really is 16 and not 35 and selling or trading the stuff on other sites.
-
Just sent you his address Mullet
-
He put in a request to delete his account awhile back, which I did. I should have banned him instead
-
He got you to, "G"-monee? Dang he ran the circuit, little weasel needs to be scared out of his shoes.
-
I know there is the "good dealings" section of this forum, but that thing is huge (which credits the number of good people on the page)! In the future, it might be good for people to give other forum members a heads up if they are getting responses from people who might not be 100% trustworthy. I sent some stuff to the aforementioned person. Just stuff I had sitting around really I didn't much care about, but I would have rather given it to someone on this forum with a good heart who deserved something good than giving it to a thief.
-
Who ever the little wiseooooo is he's got a rough life ahead of him.Been burned myself too.I just don't talk to them any more since it's darn near impossible to run them down and they know it.They think that's the way to get ahead in this world.Short sighted little idiot.Feel sorry for him.

I have had members give me just such a heads up in the past.

I had a "friend" I did a trade with for fly tying material. I was big into it years back before kids and accumulated $1500 worth of stuff. Todays $ is closer to $3000. We made a deal that he could use some of the materials in return he would service my archery needs. great deal for both i thought. A year later I needed some stuff done and contacted him. "Never made that deal, you said I could have it". A mutual buddy was there when we made deal and talked with him and said same thing. A roommate of his i know also said that the guy was making flies with another friend like crazy to use up material so I wouldn't get any back and when asked if he wanted some said "no its not really yours". His reply " my parents gave it to me", even though roomy knew he told him it was from me. I asked for a bit of money to pay for it ( about 1/2) of what I paid and he said not on your life. We tried everything but he has burned alot of bridges with many of his friends and has lost a good number because of this and other dealings. So in short it can happen even with friends face to face and not just on the net

It happens; I made a special bow for an acquaintance so he could gift it to one of his close friends. He was a serious and successful turkey hunter so I struck up a deal with him; I would give him the bow for free and he would give me his turkey wings for life. When the friend got the bow he was impressed enough to offer any wings he came up with as well.
The first turkey season after the deal was struck the guy gave me 5 wings, none from the bow recipient. The next year he said he didn't hunt much, the next he said he forgot, still none from the recipient.
It has been 15 years now and the 5 wings I got from the guy were it.
This guy was a preacher, unfortunately, I feel I have been burned three times by three different guys, all were preachers.
