Own a useless piece of paintball history :)
http://baltimore.craigslist.org/spo/4707729283.html
I shot him a text about shipping it. If he will. I'll either clean it up for a backup gun. Or turn around and sell it clean and fully functional and tested.
nvm. great deal
If he won't let me know, i live in baltimore, we could work it outQuote:

Well. He has been fine to text with. He wanted to use money pak. Which i had never heard of. But whatever. Its a 40 dollar gamble shipping g included on my end. Said they can be bought at Walmart. Needless to say after spending way to much time in Walmart looking for something they didnt have I got the only card that is marked that it could be used to transfer funds. Apparently no dice. So now I've got to get my 40 bux out of this card I guess..... Grrrr.... Its not looking like this cheap spare marker was meant to be mine. Opbn. I recomend if you deal with it to take grelvire up on his offer.
Yeah it's sounding like buyer beware. He told me the same thing. I thought we had a deal and was going to run out today to get the card. He never said to hold off....
First thing I noticed when searching for what a moneypak was, is how many scams it's linked to.
True. But anymore what deal like that isn't linked to tones of scams. Either way I just told him I was done. It was nothing but a spare/loaner marker to me anyways so I'm not jumping through any more hoops when I don't have the time...... Or patience.Quote:

Yah. Well. This my be the first time I lost money on a cross country transaction. Went to clear the card off that was purchased last night with a bill for home construction stuff. Needless to say there was only 3 dollars on the card. It may not be a money pak card. But it is still 40 bux. Well it was bound to happen eventually. Wife is dealing with the card deal since I have the reception and card where it was purchased last night. We will see.Quote:

Sorry to hear. He never even got back to me, which I thought was odd if he was looking to scam.Quote:

And they pretty much bent over backwards to appear as if they are working it out. Card is locked with his attempted transaction to PP frozen. If it goes through Monday they are going to raise a dispute with PP. If it doesn't go through I should get a check. I do have the card and sales reciet. So we will see.Quote:

When I personally ask buyers to not use PP its because I don't want the cash tied up there. Otherwise PP works great. And if I ask I'm always Willing to ship asap because I know how it can look. All and all. Such is life. Haha.
Least my package from ANS came in today. Local scenario tomorrow. Yuppie.
he clearly tried to scam you. everyone here needs to flag that ad as a scam so it gets removed from craigslist.Quote:

Well I am sorry that this turned out to be such a mess. I hope that everything works out.
Just a little update. Now the card company is basically going in circles because we refuse to give them our date of birth or ss number. Considering they never had that info to begin with. They sure as hell have no business with it now. We have the card. Card number. And original purchase recept. Grrrrrrrr. And to think. All we wanted to do was confirm where this fraud deal stood. All crooks of any kind should just be set a fire and let burn. Burn a few of them and the rest would straiten up.
