I think I figured out what he was pulling. I am not sure, but this is how I see it. Does Pay-Pal hold the payment until you get your merchandise? I never looked into it. I sent him my payment in the form of a Money Order, the date he receives it, he can cash it and have money in hand. On the other hand if Pay-Pal works how I think it does, he don't get his money until you get your merchandise? He would not be able to justify waiting 10 days to send a Pay-Pal order either.
I was not the first to order these stocks, but I was certainly far from one of the last. I purchased on 6-23, he received my payment on 6-26, but held off sending my stocks for a full 10+ days. I know if someone sends a check, they can delay shipping for up to 10 days to clear the check, correct? So, in the meantime others ordered stocks and were receiving them well ahead of me. I am only surmising that they were paid for by Pay-Pal, he shipped out the better looking stocks first to get the good feedback, so more would be willing to purchase the rest. Once they were all sold, then he released the worst looking blems and unfinished (recoil pad) stocks. I hope I am wrong, but I think the next few stocks will clearly be BLEMS like mine.
Ace, you made a valid point about liking plastic, I like it too. I could spray a layer of bedliner over the Camo laminate BLEM and make it look like synthetic. I really wanted these stocks bad, but wanted ones that would look decent. I thought about just sending them back, but then thought about the next guy that was excited to buy these when they list them again, and his disappointment and disgust. What to do???
I just can't get over how little the negative feedback is on these guys, surely I cant be the ONLY one they screwed over? I haven't figured out what I am going to do for sure yet, but you can bet they won't ever get the chance to screw me over again, and hopefully no one else either. I may just keep them, cut my losses, lesson learned, but they don't give you enough space to write $165 worth of negative feedback.
Not only did they lie to me, but eBay as well. They entered that the items were shipped on 6-26-07, when they actually were not shipped until 1:17 PM CDT on 7-6-07. I hate liars and crooks, and they are both!
