I sent my money to Scott on 5/9/08. He received it on 5/13/08 and I posted on here on 6/1/08 that I had received nothing allowing others to beware when dealing with him. I have never felt that he "jerked my chain from the start" nor have I called him names or trashed him. Scott was very easy to get a hold of prior to sending the money order and I thought all was well. If I was "jumping to conclusions" and making "premature accusations" my dies would have arrived already as he said he sent them, and I would have gladly posted their arrival on this board along with an apology to Scott for assuming the worst. However, the dies have never arrived, Scott will not return messages or email and I have written off this whole mess as a lesson in buying items from people on line like this.

I have stated exactly what happened to me during this situation. Scott on the other hand has called me names and has trashed me during his very first post which even further confirmed my suspicion that I had been taken for a ride. His responses were, in my opinion, not what someone would say if they were a decent person to deal with. I would never speak to someone that was purchasing something from me like that no matter what the problem they may be having.

As far as I am concerned, it is never too late to step up and correct something irregardless of what caused the error. If he chooses not to "make things right" with me than he loses his integrity in my opinion and that he will have to live with -- I would correct things personally no matter what. Running from an issue never makes the issue go away.

I have said from the start, it's not the money that bothers me, it's the integrity of the transaction that bothers me. I buy and sell all the time and always try to do what is right for my buyers. If they feel unhappy with a deal than I do what I can to make it right - be it a refund or whatever. I continually communicate with them during the deal letting them know that their money has arrived, their item is on the way (with tracking for my safety) and a follow up after arrival to make sure all is well. If they call or email me, I return the message even if it is about a problem. Whether the deal is for one buck or a thousand it's still the same to me. I respect my fellow sportsmen and women and I respect myself and my reputation during all my dealings. I went into this naively assuming the same would hold true for myself as a buyer as well which I now realize was a mistake on my part. I feel I have been ripped off and it is not a mistake I will make again soon.
