Don't ever trade with this scamming loser

[MelGroceryStocker]

His name is W. Wenz. His email will show up as w***wenz@sbcglobal.net

 

Here's the story:

 

I placed an add on craigslist with my tradelist. He offers to send a Bill and Daron for a powder blue Charlie Moore. I ship it out the day after we agree. I even know this deal is in his favor, but I have extras and just want to complete my collection.

 

I let him know I sent it out, and he says, "Sounds good, will send out Sat."

 

Well here we are, some 3 weeks later, I've received nothing. He ignored my emails. I found his phone number and called him tonight, but he still sticks to the "I got nothing!" story.

 

He says on the phone that he admits that he never sent his bobblehead out, he was "waiting to see if you would really send it out." He claims he got nothing, blah blah blah. So basically the guy admits to lying once, admits to never sending jack *@$# out to me.

 

Turns out he is a 75-year-old man in wheel chair. I'm sitting here out a powder blue Moore because some old fart is too stupid and senile to get his mail. Basically I flushed $50 down the toilet. The real shame in the story is, that I've been trading on here and Cragislist for years now, and because of this one loser, I will never do it again. It's all in-person trades and eBay from here on out. Thank the old fart for ruining it. I've been a reliable trader and seller for a while now. It takes one bad apple to ruin for everyone.

 

Hahaha, if anyone feels bad for me and is willing to cut a deal on a B&D let me know. I'm a student, I have $100 to my name. I take this up as a hobby and I get *!$%%# over.

[MelGroceryStocker]

I'm willing to trade these:

 

07 pinstripe Yount

07 pinstripe Vuck

06 pinstripe Cooper (no box)

 

I'll pay cash too ... I just want the Bill and Daron. Pretty much paying for it twice.

[Invader3K]

Just go to his house. I bet he gives it over really fast if you show up at his door.

But you've only got $100 to your name. Don't you think that money would be more wisely spent elsewhere?

A couple of things here:

1) You used 2 banned words. That's a strike.

2) Let's refrain from calling people names like "old fart" and "loser", even if you've been wronged.

 

Please re-read the rules of the site before posting again.

 

I've also added a new rule to the Trading Post FAQ, stemming from this post, asking people not to give out people's real information on the site. As a result, you'll see that I'm masking some of the info in the original post.

No. Money is there to be spent, I'm in school. Most of my friends don't even have that much. If I don't buy this it would just be spent at a bar anyway.

Just an update:

 

He is actually 47 and he lives with his parents (sweet life). His dad is the 75-year-old. He called the police on me and reported me for "harassment." The police called me and didn't really say much of anything. After all of this I looked him up on the Wisconsin Circuit Court website, and he has a record about 3 pages long - 92 cases. Most of them are from debtors or small claims. It's ridiculous.

 

Basically without delivery confirmation I'm screwed, but oh well, live and learn.

Sorry to hear about your problem. Thats why I like this board so much (as opposed to CL). Everyone I've traded with has been very good to deal with. Better luck in the future.

[MelGroceryStocker]

Yeah I prefer this board too, but I am so close to getting all the giveaways, it's slim pickins, I only need three or four and I just wanted to finish it out.

The guy has now listed my Moore bobblehead on eBay. Unbelievable.

create a new ebay account when you see him list it...

win the auction EVERYTIME, and don't pay him... (this way, your REAL account isn't effected, and you can screw him right back)

then, the next time you see him list it, do the same exact thing...

 

at the very least, you can make it very hard for this idiot to sell it!

Unless he just uses the "second chance" option and sells it to the next guy without relisting it.

Create two new accounts and place first and second in the bidding! Ha! I didn't get a 31 on the ACT for no reason!
