magmonkey: that must suck! That's almost worst then a rip! OMG and ppl feel safe when they deal with stores or large organizatons, but I guess ppl can be real jerks sometimes.

GalligerAtWar: heh yea I guess but the rpper would hafta be very smart to get awy if you get some people on it(but it'd cost you some) I'm currently taking a course on crime busting and you'd be suprised how some "smart" rippers really can leave a large trail of evidence.

Panzerr: well I'm not trying to defend a ripper but sometimes the PO can screw up or somthing and that doesn't help. But befroe ayone should call someone a ripper in public forums yu sould check to make sure, you miht just ruin someones reputation evenif it wsn't anyons fault.

[Panzerr]

He ripped me off. I know of a few other outstanding bills he has too, but I won't mention them. He claims he sent stuff to me, but I never got anything, so I asked for tracking numbers, but he magically didn't have them. I figure if he where innocent, he would have tried to make it right. Instead he has been ignoring me for the past two plus years.

o ok, in that case try to find out his new names and cal for ripper!

As a rule I never spend over $20 on E-bay.

Qwll, actually I think forums and ebay are equal because atleast you get something if your ripped but if you get ripped on forums you getnothingat all.

Well I got screwed over big time. I bought an eclipse angel from a guy on pbc. i traded a kapp cocker and $250 for the angel. after working out all the details on the trade the guy i was trading with told me that the gun had a minor leak that was being fixed and that he would ship the gun within a few days. of course i had already sent my cocker and money to him. he gets my stuff and still hasnt sent the angel. he keeps telling me that his shop is working on it. i ask him what was wrong with it and he tells me that the 14 way needs a new o ring. knowing that i had a local shop perfectly capable of fixing this i told him to send it and i would have it fixed as long as he paid for the repair. i also told him that if it wasnt fixable that i would send it back and expect my gun and money back. he agreed. so i finally get the angel a long time after i sent my stuff. i give it to my local shop and they go through it and find out that it is totally screwed up inside. everything from wiring and electronics to the hammer is screwed up. it is basically unfixable because the body is stripped where a piece must screw in. this causes major leaking and isnt fixable. so i talk to the guy i traded with and told him that i wanted to trade back and how the gun wasnt fixable. he went through all kinds of excuses about why he couldnt do this. i kept pestering him on aim and by email to trade back. one night he basically tells me that since i keep pestering him about this he is gonna commit suicide. he couldnt take the pressure or something which was total bull. he was trying to stop me from trying to get my property back. i finally went to my lawyer and we are in the process of trying to settle with him and if that doesnt work we will try to sue him. sorry to take up so much space but i needed to vent.

i got ripped off but it worked for the better in the end.
ok this is what happened i got a autococker off ebay i payed 280 for it and it was supose to have everything aftermarket i thought i was getting a hell of deal then when i got it it was a piece of crap 96 cocker that didnt even work. i fixed it myself, taught myself how a cocker works. then i played a tourament with the cocker and the air supply got cut off in the middle of a game. i said f*ck it i thrw it on the ground never used the gun again the night i got back from my tournament i put an add on warpig explained what was wrong with the gun and how the person could fix it and some idiot traded me a mini mag for my broken cocker so i got a mini mag with 3 barrels, nitro, double trigger frame, drop forward, no grips tho but i think i got the upper part of the deal and im glad i got ripped off because i wouldnt of been able to fall in love with automags !!!!

[Drizit]

Ripped

If you have sent money or items through the mail, contact the postal inspector at your local post office. It may fall under mail fraud. If they think it is, they investigate for free (anywhere in the USA). If you get ripped on eBay, there is $200 insurance they carry ($25 deductable) (been there, done that) and if you pay by paypal, they cover an additional $200 over eBays limit ($400 total). Small claims court does work but be prepared for a loooong wait and a it's a real learning process. For you young guys that got ripped, welcome to the real world. I guarantee this won't be the last time. Bad deals come in markers, cars, houses and just about everything else. Remember the old saying, "If the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is."

DTM: thx for the education it seems you're experienced in beening ripped. Thx for all the tips. I more ppl post tips ppl could learn a lot and maybe put an end to ripping.

Drizit: Well yea that sux

giblet: WHOA you decided to rip an innocent mag user cause some fool ripped you? WOW RIPPERS GOTTA STOP THERE DISHONORABE FOOLISHNESS, LOOK THEY LIKE MULTIPLY AS THEY RIP.

Curly: No problem vent all you want, but the fool your talking about seems like a 12 year old if he can't handle stress from sending back your possesions.

[Curly]

B.C. it wasnt that he couldnt handle the stress it was that he was trying to scare me away from taking any legal action. the only thing was i kept records of all emails and all AIM conversations and i passed all those along to my lawyer. hopefully i can get him for fraud and possibly extortion on the suicide thing.

[�.C.]

good luck man I hope you get him
