I have done a little business with you ,Jim.Always very satisfied with your service.I am in the retail business & if the item was altered by the buyer,no warranty coverage should exists.Go buy a motorcycle or car & change the specs of the motor & see if any warranty exists.My opinion is he owes for the limbs & Bear nor you are responsible for what he screwed up. P.S. Your rep is far greater than what one idiot could damage.

Big Jim, This person sounds like an ambulance chaser to me and I for one would put him/her on my blacklist of never doing bussiness with them again...I cann't believe they were that ignorant to even try a stunt like that but people do..I'm with everyone else on the subject and who in there right mind would grind a set of limbs and expect you to replace them...Shame on that person Posts: 3361 | From: Hurlock Maryland | Registered: Mar 2006

I've seen comments about this feller lacking common sense and the such but if he threatened Big Jim I'm pretty sure he has escaped the looney bin. Ever seen those comercials messin with sasquatch

I dont understand why the buyer would attempt to alter the limbs without talking to you FIRST. If there was a problem, Im sure you would have resolved it.

As soon as he altered, sanded, played with the fit of any of the components, it is HIS. If it didn't fit like you sent it to him he might have a point! If he had contacted you FIRST to resolve the issue! He screwed up when he took the sanding block to them!

Well, we can thank the "gentleman" for providing fodder for an interesting thread.
I ended with a smile. This fellow helped me remember one of the things I enjoy about traditional archery, which is the overall quality of the people involved.

Big Jim, you are probably a pretty big guy, but the world is full of nuts these days, and a lot of "small" people feel like a weapon of some sort is the big 'equalizer' in a dispute like this. So watch your back.
Don't give him any further reason to get embittered against you, such as posting his name publicly, etc. That could really aggravate this already (apparently) unreasonable person. As far as I can tell just from reading this thread, you appear to have handled yourself like gentleman so far.
Maybe, to close your dealings with this guy, after sending him HIS modified limbs and holding him accountable, you could offer him a discount on a future purchase (not likely), sell him something at cost, or include a 'peace offering' in the package you're going to send him. That could be a way of holding a firm line with the limbs he re-worked, but also placate his anger and re-affirm to him that you are a gentleman and are not just being spiteful towards him.

If it didn't fit like you sent it to him he might have a point, but in dealing with you as I have in the past, I'm sure he wouldn't have been dissatisfied with the final outcome. He screwed up when he took the sanding block to them. Good luck with the outcome, but your reputation as a solid guy to deal with is secure in my mind.
I agree with what he said.
