    God, people are stupid

    So I've been trying to get rid of my old Nitro tank since I have no use for it and need some new gear. This kid from PBN gets me on AIM and is trying to trade me a Freak and cash. I didn't want the freak, so eventually he said the Freak and an 05 Rico Apache. I really need a hopper, so I accept it and I'll sell the Freak when I get it.

    A couple hours later he IMs me asking again what it says on the regulator, so I tell him that it says 3A, but is infact a Centerflag(because it is, CF makes 3A's regs). He then tells me it's impossible because his friend who is a "certified teck" from the "paintball tecknition institute" said so. At this point I show him a post from 3A's own message board where a Moderator said they were made by Centerflag. He said he still didn't believe me, but would to the trade anyway and if it wasn't a CF he would "call in mail frod."

    I'm thinking about canceling the deal, because I see bad things coming from it. He's shipping first, but even still. The only reason I havn't yet is because I need a hopper by this weekend and I'm broke until this tank sells.

    Should I cancel it, or just hope when he gets it that he realizes he was acting like an asshat?

    Save the trouble and cancel it, he obviously has issues.

      Take it and ignore him if he gives you trouble later.

        Cancel. PBN trades always seem to go sour.

          Aside from freaking out when I didn't want a Freak Kit, he was completley cool until he talked to his friend the "teck."

          I might have to take Squids advise. All he has to do is call up 3A and ask if they're CF regs, so there's no way he can prove it otherwise.

                        I think I was blinded more by the fact that I NEED a hopper by this weekend.

                        I sent him a PM and an EMail canceling the deal. I hope he reads them before shipping...

                            cancel the deal. I hate doing business on PBN. Ive been screwed 2 times, and thats the only 2 times ive been screwed. I got screwed on a halo that I still havent gotten, and an angel for 475.

                            I hate doing business on PBN anymore.
