Default Kbacon....was I a sucker?

A little preface to the story here guys....

How it started here...

So I sent my backup hunting bow, fully rigged with a TT Shakey, Sure loc Lethal Weapon (which I had just bought and never used) Sims stuff and ready to hunt to a guy in need (or so I thought) back the first week in Oct.

Didn't know him other than on here and another site. Shoots Bowtech, works in the industry, seemed like a straight enough guy, I had 2 bows to hunt with and figured I'd a help a fellow archer/hunter out in a time of "Deperation".

Another guy let him borrow a bow as well (I won't say who as it's not my place but you probably know)....so that's 2 Bowtech's he's got "borrowed" to hunt with (more than I have now) AND he buys Pro 40 for a great price as well.

So around December I ask if he's still using it. My string needs to be replaced on my primary hunting bow and I don't want to miss any action.

He says he has a buddy that would like to buy it.
I say....not for sale, I like the bow a lot. Than I figure...what the heck, I'll sell it as his buddy wants it and it's already in Indianappolis already.

I ask $350...nope. He says his buddy only has $300. I say OK $300 is alright, I can live with that if he's a buddy of yours and is tight on cash.
Nope...still too expensive for him.

OK...I'll keep it. I could get $200 MORE for it on Ebay IF I WANTED to SELL it in the first place.

He says no problem...I'll put it in the mail on Monday (Dec 6th).

2 weeks and no bow.

I PM him. Nothing.
I email him. Nothing.
I call him. Numbers disconnected.

Now I'm getting a little worried. I PM the other guy that loaned him a bow. He's heard nothing but had the same "Buddy wants to buy your bow" story.

Says if I "get a hold of Ken, please tell him to call me."

I finally call Ken's place of employment. I ask him if he's shipped my bow and he acts as if nothing in world is wrong and says..."Oh...No. It's here though and I'll ship it first thing in the AM." (this is Dec 26th or 27th now)

Still no bow.

My indoor league starts this Thurs (Jan6th) and he has the bow I planned on shooting.

I ordered another bow last week, it was shipped from Cali on the 29th and I got t today.

So...I aplogize for the long post here but I really don't know what to do and wanted to know if anyone knows Ken personally...maybe you could talk to him for me.

I just want my rig back.

Thanks for listening guys.
