Blurring the Line Between Business and Pleasure

[Tubby_Ninja]

Yeah, I'm thinking of trying it out at the bar...

Me: "Hey baby, I'm Jim."
Girl: (Blank stare)
Me: "Oh, well you might know me as AO's own Tubby Ninja!"
Girl: "Oh my god! You're Tubby Ninja? I love you!"
Me: "Oh yeah baby, and over at AO we got 26 BPS, if you know what I mean."
Girl: "I have no idea what you mean."
Me: "Oh....uh...me either...bye."

Hi, Matt. Congrats on the cool job. Maybe you could do me a little favor? I have two orders pending with paintball-online.com from ebay auction wins and can't get status updates on either of them(83042 is the first order #). I have tried to call and email Jeff with no luck. Don't get me wrong, I am not upset, I am just looking for info any way I can find it at this point, I read your post and saw an opportunity. The two orders together total around $600, not exactly pocket change for me. I would really like to be able to leave positive feedback on ebay for you guys, so please you or Jeff get in touch with me soon.

Thanks,
Russ Hassinger

Russ,

First off, thanks for bidding on one of our ebay auctions! We appreciate your business, and your patience as we figure everything out with the ebay order process. Here is the shipping information regarding order # 83042:

Your order shipped out on 10/24/01 under UPS tracking number
1Z1E9E770300054087. According to UPS, your package is due to arrive on October 30th. For further updates, you can track your order at www.ups.com or call me at Paintball Online.

Just to let you know, I generally lurk and occasionally post on AO for fun and to relax, not to draw in customers to Paintball Online or do business over AGD's site - I don't feel that is an appropriate use for AO. I don't mind answering your post, but please contact me directly at 800-875-4547, ext. 25 with any further inquiries regarding Paintball Online orders. I know the title of this thread is about blurring the line between business and pleasure which makes this post somewhat ironic, but some things are better left off the forums Thanks so much!

Sincerely,

Matt

Thanks for getting back so quickly! I completely agree about not doing business over the AO site, but I was at a frustration point(and it was 3:00am). It may have been inappropriate and I certainly hope nobody takes offense to it. I have come to rely on AO for information, and a bit of entertainment also, and would be lost without it.

Thanks again, Matt.
