Ok, I feel kind of bad because I really blasted this guy I bought a bubbler from. I believe I'm right, but I still feel bad, I guess. What do you guys think?
OK, saw an auction for a Swagger double chambered perc. He wanted to start at $100 with a BIN of $200. In the description he stated it was in perfect shape except for 2 scratches or cracks near a joint. I asked to see better pics of the cracks/scratches but he said he couldn't get them to show up on camera because they were so small.
OK, I offered $120 and he accepted. I paid $100 right away with the promise that I would pay the rest the following day. That next day before work I sent the money via PP, but I must not have completed the transaction. I went to work and later around 1:00 check BM. There was message saying "where is my $20, I'm going to refund your $100 since I didn't get it." He also called my out on the BM thread saying I didn't pay. Well, I was pissed but sent the $20.
Next he emails and says he "forgot" to tell me the piece has a "burn mark" from torch use. Then he says he unpacked the tube thinking I wasn't gong to pay the $20 and then 'forgot" to include the dome that was to come with it!
So, I realize I have dealt with this guy in the past and he sold me something he claimed was made by guys at Sov. He also said it had a thick joint and some had thin joints. Mine came with the thin joint. With this Swagger he tried to say it was made by Mad Rob.
Anyway, I was pissed and killed him on email and threatened to ruin his rating if the tube was shit. I still haven't gotten it, so I don't know how that is going to go. Since then he offered to sell me a fake pax for $40 to make up for it. Then he offered to give me a Pax he had "lying around" that had a stuck MP. I refused to take his BS offers.
That's where we stand now. Am I wrong? Overreacting? or is this guy a liar and borderline scammer?
