I hope we are wrong about this, b/c if not there is a slight chance someone might severly hurt him.

Quoted for truth.

Read what I posted. I dont think we should allow posts like this just for this reason

This is what I meant
You're going to believe a novice member, OVER people who have been posting here for years, without strife. Honest trades, buying, and the what not.

Why hasn't HE posted again, BTW?

What sticks in my craw is the fact that he solicited donations, including convincing a seller to drop his asking price 40%, when he obviously had access to funds to purchase his Dad's marker. Not a scam, just a dick thing to do, IMO.

Yeah, why didn't you sell your computer in the first place to get money for your "dads" gun?

That too. He presented himself as strapped for cash so he solicited discounts and freebies across AO.

Then as soon as he uses said discounts and freebies for a setup, he proceeds to sell his over-priced computer to buy himself a gun.

I'm still waiting for Heather to post a second time, or to PM me.

Proceeds? Do you know How much money was actually donated to him? $40(minus paypal fees). Do you know How much I paid? The Rest(minus paypal fees). He borrowed the money from ME.
As for the Computer, he's been trying to sell it for the past several months becuase another person is giving him the run around.

Jesus....wtf is up with AO lately? Who donated? Who's pissed? Other than Frymark, and they said they'd pay her if she wanted. All you have is some noob with a post that's barely legible. Quit jumping to conclusions people until you know the whole picture.

Even if you were working at that paintball shop full time thats a lot of money. $850 to a 16 yo working in a paintball shop who has only had a job for a month or so is most definitely a lot of money.

if he's working there even part time, it's easy to make 450 a paycheck. 2 paychecks = 900... do your math thordic... it's toally possible.

$40? That's it? You guys aren't very good at scamming people. JK ha

So im magically going to find a buyer right off the bat? IT took me 6 weeks to find someone that wanted it.

read this again please and show me where it says that I believe either one of yoru crappy stories:

post count = ?????

i dont see the coralition

If I was running AO I wouldnt allow these kind if philanthropic persuits. Certinaly causes for groups or orginzations but not this "beg" to play paintball, its some of the most selfish stuff I have seen in my life.

I am saying we shouldnt put this crap on AO becuase it ALWAYS looks shady!

You said 10 minutes ago you donated $400. Now you say you donated almost $900.

And the amount doesn't matter. People still donated money because they thought there was a need. A need which argueably wasn't there.

He could have taken a slight hit on his computer price and ebay'd it. Don't give me this "Oh he was trying so hard to sell it so he could buy a gun for his dad and puppies for all the neighborhood children and food for the homeless!".

And I'm surprised you are defending him as you gave him either $400 or $900 (let us know when you make up your mind) to get his dad a gun and he went out and bought himself two guns a month later.

Either you like his dad a whole lot more than he does, or he used you for money.

Maybe because they weren't....
