Bad Trader Warning
A while back I started a thread about my mk-85 and how I liked shooting with a peep sight. A guy named 3DTHUNDER posted how he had an extra sight he would sell. I have another mk-85 so I bit. Well its been 3 weeks since I sent him the money and not a word from him. I have sent him some personal messages but he doesn't answer. The worse thing is I googled his name and found out he is listed as a bad trader on a couple archery sites. His name is :
Jeff Ratliff
Oakwood, Virginia
He has been a member of this site since 2002, so I thought he'd be ok. I should have googled his name before sending the Postal Money Order.
I work too dang hard for my money to have this happen. I'm just glad it wasn't more. I have had really good luck with buying and selling online before but I guess time to get burnt was up.
Just posting so the rest of you don't fall for his scams. I just can't understand why a person would do this.

Therein lies a solution to this guy. Because he accepted payment with Postal Money Order what he did was mail-fraud. You won't get your money back but I'd bet it would make him think twice about doing it again if the fraud division of the USPS knocked on his door.

I went to the Post Office today to get the necessary paperwork to fill out. I know I will never get the sight or my money but hopefully I can put a stop to this guy. It is going to cost me more money to pursue this but I'm going to do it anyway. Don't cork off an Irishman.

That's why (E-Bay) has a (Feed-Back) rating, I usually dont buy unless you have a 100% Feedback. But I feel for you, been there done that. Too Bad it had to be another Hunter, I guess posting his name is enough punnishment, hope he get's what he's got comming!
