who heres been ripped before?

[MAGS own YOU]

I got ripped on the first gun i bought online. It didnt come with the stock reg, so i had no stars or any thing. He never answered me when i told him that i wanted it back. I havent done much about it, cuz i didnt know it was a serious issue at the time and i now have forgotten his contact numbers.

wow, I'm suprised you till do deals online since your 1st deal was a rip. When I got ripped 1t it was my 3rd deal and thank god t was ony on a little trading card.

Get this one...
I know someone who got an angel on ebay. Got it for 1500$ (had a bunch of extra junk on it).
After paying the money, he ended up getting a box full of rocks from ups.
Yup, he had a 1500$ box of rocks!

He got the money back, but it took 3 months.

Now THAT sucks!.

i was nearly ripped off once. i found this guy who was looking for a stock body rail, he said he'd give me his brand new chrome benchmark body rail. so im thinkin "wow, this is a heck of a deal!" so i do the trade with him and send out my body rail. a couple weeks go by and he says its in the mail, but forgot to tell me he was in the navy and was over seas somewhere so it would take quite a while to get to my house. 2 months go by and he stops responding to my emails, keeps saying he got my body rail and sent his too me. 3 months go by and im emailing him every day complaining. So finally i relize im screwed and just buy another stock body rail. about 3 weeks after that, guess what? it shows at my house! never heard from the guy again though. This just shows, if you think you're screwed, just keep pounding the guy and never give up hope.

The guy who sold me my LED still hasn't sent the charger, but I haven't given up yet, hes just kind of a flake.

The guy that sold me my first mag didn't send me my stock valve assembly either. So I made him buy me another one because he said the original was lost in the mail.

Also, the cocker I bought had a stripped body, but the guy I bought it from paid for a good amount of a new body, so it all worked out. Paintball people are generally good people, its just bad when the deal sounds too good, and its not.

WOW WHO WOULD DARE SEND A BOX OF ROCKS? Also deded ur lucky you never got ripped.......yet

A californian... hehe

It was some kid in san fran or the general area. I guess he had been doing the same thing to several people.

They got mad enough at him to threaten legal action, and he finally gave the money back.

I agree that in general, most paintball players are very honest people.
Its sad that theres those few pricks out there that have the potential to ruin everything...

Splat Attack...

I sent 'em twenty dollars for a vert. adapter(for my mag). Never got it. Called them up, and they said they never got my money order and don't know who I am. So I went to the post office and got the money order traced. A couple of days later I got a scanned-photograph from the post-office showing my money order with a big stamp on it. They cashed my money order.
I guess I can use legal action, but its only twenty dollars...

I got ripped off when I sent my emag back to the shop that I bought it from for service (it came to me with a loose ground but I didn't know enough about the gun at the time to even look for the problem) they had it for two weeks and when I went to pick it up the first thing I noticed was that they lost my box and charger .... they said it was at there other store and they would mail it to me then they gave me the gun still not working right and coverd in several colors of paint and to top it off sombody dropped it so it had a dented rail and three large scuffs in the anno .... when I asked what happened to my gun they said they didn't know but they would give me the grip frame and batt cover off of the other emag they had on the wall
... ok so I travel 50 miles back home and clean the gun to find out that it didn't work so I found out what was wrong and fixed it myself
ok so a month goes by and no box and no charger
I need the gun for a tourney so I called the shop and they said it is still at the other shop just under 100 miles from my house ... but i needed it so I go after it and they offerend me a free pass to there field for my trouble ( a $10 pass)
100 miles to buy the gun
100 miles to drop it off
100 miles to pick it up
200 miles to get the stuff they should have mailed
the agrivation of fixing it myself
and a dented rail
all because I wanted to give my money to a local shop
and when I finaly went to use my pass a couple players at the field came up and said " I remember that gun"
and "I've shot that gun before "
the shop apperently rented it out to several players while it was there to be fixxed and that is why it was covered in paint
I WAS HAPPY
