If anything sounds fishy...let me know.
If they are NOT a member here BEWARE!!!
If their name is in any way different then their profile.....BEWARE!!!!!...and concact us...and make a post exposing them.
These folks actually screw folks and then laugh about it. What they don't know is they have a snitch in the bunch.....but I'm sure they will find out now that I have posted about it.

so yes be careful refunding money or trading back bows too.
EDITED in --> I forgot to mention that other than my couple things I have had nothing but good experiences here maybe over 100 deals all good, and many good conversations, made some new friends, and learned of some new hunting spots.

Courtesy and helps on both ends. Made a few new friends this way too. All good so far.
Thanks Terry.

It pays to know the merchandise, but sometimes it's better to know the seller.

You have a good point. I once had to contact a Sheriff department in MN. I bought a bow, and the guy cashed the money order. He left his wife, and the bow behind. The department knew this guy and his wife. ;o) I got my bow after numerous phone calls, excuses, and a visit from the Sheriff. I am still very grateful to the department for all of their efforts, and help.

Also found out a guy that got banned once before for breaking the rules wrote me and Rob D a nice LONG note wanting back on and apologizing and we let him back on ....now showing his true colors by joining in on the grade school antics of those are bashing us for looking out for our membership.
Its really sad to see the types of writings, from our so called 'ranks' that I'm seeing from grown men.....who only know how to name call and make physical internet threats. I mean really, all this name calling??? Name calling is the lowest form of intellect.
Anyhow, we are just trying to look out for our members that actually get what TradGang is about the best we can.
Hey....if they are bashing me, they are just giving someone else a break. :campfire:

Terry I appreciate all the hard work that goes into this site by you and the other Moderators.
I think Scumbags have a hard time accepting they are scumbags so they turn around and exhibit more scumbag behavior like name calling.
I can only imagine half the crap you put up with that never gets let out (which shows Character), is the same crap management has to deal with while working in corporations.
Its the petty rumors and gossipers that really bring hardship on themselves and the whole. I think This site is far better than the others I have been on. Its a place where everyone can enjoy, discuss, show and tell, learn and relax while not worrying about being treated with respect and dignity.
Thank you again

I also have the utmost appreciation for all that you have done and continue to do, in order that we have such a great site to visit. Without you and the TG Staff's ever diligent efforts, we would not have the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of your labors. If there is anything any of us can do to help you in these efforts please let us know.
It is unfortunate there are some out there that want to create problems, no matter where you are. Keep up the great work. Thanks again.

The sad thing about this is if he would have issued me a measly $500 refund I requested none of this would have happened and his friends would all still be able to access this sight. I still would have lost some money on the deal but would have been happy with the $500. I'm just glad I don't have friends that would take me down like this guy.

BUY, SELL, TRADE at your OWN RISK!
DO NOT CONTACT TRAD GANG ADMIN OR MODS ABOUT BAD DEALS!
Get to know the buyer or seller (aka "the person") as best you can.
Do a forum wide search for that person, look to see when that person became a member, the number of posts made, what the person posts, how the person's posts have been received by the membership and how that person interacts with other members.
Contact other members about the person for feedback of their opinions as to the credibility of the person, and what's the person's buying/selling track record.
Get the person's mailing address and phone number - it wouldn't hurt to make a phone call chat, if possible.

I have State Farm homeowner's insurance.
My family has used the same agent for 30 years.
I am contacting him to prepare him for any vandalism.
I have lived in Maryland since 1952, but the first Anthony Wallace settled here in 1780. We tend to stand our ground.

Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, the answer was clear.
It came from a conversation I had with Terry Green about how he dealt with threats of being beat up by a stranger on the internet he never met. Terry's internet enemy is the same guy who uses a rinky-dink website to send strangers to my door to terrify my wife.
Some of these other strangers love to lurk here and pretend to be TradGangers. They hate Terry Green, but they profit from his website. They have not been banned - but they are well known, and they "drop" in and out all the time. They are monitored closely, and they sometimes play their games on The Trad History/Collecting Forum. So far none of these "name droppers" has paid a photo recon tour of my house. Check them out if you are curious - they love to TTT old posts to stir the pot and ask questions to answers they already know and they already posted and answered word-for-word on their rinky-dink website. I chuckled at one I just spotted. Terry has been at this game for years, and a chuckle is as good as it gets.
Who cares about this stupid game? (Maybe Terry Green. This is his website, right?)
My real world problem is the two strangers that delight in bullying and terrorizing anybody they choose. Their stupid game, when it was lost forever, cost them money after they began abusing the goodwill of TradGang to cash out their chips. Losing their stupid game then cost my wife her sense of safety in her own front yard. I guess Rich Lopez and Jim Raine got even after all. Long after this post has faded, she will still be afraid. Hope the rest of the middle-aged "Droptine delinquents" dancing around the burning bows at their Denton Hill Camp Drunkenbozo bow burning ritual are happy with the results of this DropBomb.
Their game is over in my front yard. Terry Green and life in his neighborhood gave me the answer. Let me know if you agree.
Terry told me if a Jersey wannabe wiseguy like Rich Lopez drove to his small town in Georgia to carry out his threats, a small town Terry grew up in where everybody knows him ......
You get the point.
This is my solution and the reason I chose my close knit neighborhood to raise a family. My son, like Terry Green, grew up in our small neighborhood in Sykesville, where everybody knows him, and if a stranger came to our cul-de-sac this is what happens:
One of my neighbors is a police officer. My son and his friends have trick-or-treated at his house for years. Never needed to chat with him until yesterday. We discussed a lot of things - gun collecting as a hobby, gun safety/responsibility, and the difference between scouting deer and stalking people. So far, I did not have our officer officially report this, leave our neighborhood and continue this conversation in a nearby neighborhood. Another recon mission from Mr. Peeper would put my neighbor in uniform and on the job.
One of our other neighbors works for State Farm Insurance. State Farm Insurance is a great company and will protect my home and family from any vandalism if these strangers decide to go trick-or-treating at my home one dark night. If this happens, the State Farm Insurance company home office will be sent all of the information needed to investigate who did the damage and what instigated it, even if this happens next year. If my car is keyed, our mailbox smashed, or my wife and son are photographed by Mr. Peeper or his creepy friends, State Farm Insurance will be notified immediately. Because Mr. Peeper and friends have our license tag numbers, they better hope nobody keys our cars from this day onward.
Oh yeah - a simple two word message to Mr. Peeper.
Back Off.
One more of your photo recon tours will seal the deal. Who knows how long you have stalking us? Who knows what is recorded on your camera's memory card as trophies to share with other perverted friends? Your next mission will be recorded by our friendly neighborhood watch. You want your own wife and son terrified or humiliated like mine? I don't. If you really insist that a police investigator should knock on your door - then by all means "Bring it," Mr. Peeper.
Back off.
Tell your creepy friends to back off.
You have made a lot of enemies before me, and they have sent me PMs demanding immediate action.
So far I have protected you by acting with restraint. Don't mistake my compassion for your wife or children as weakness.
Find another way to amuse yourself. If your feelings have been hurt - get over it.
Just be very careful on your website from now, and make sure none of your buddies stirs the pot.
Like a good neighbor, someone is watching you online right now.
Now the rest of the story. My wife's father is Greek, and her mother was born in England. Her father is a computer systems engineer for SPAWAR. He is a very protective Greek Orthodox father. No rinky-dink website wants him investigating anything involving internet terrorism or photo recon missions directed at his daughter and grandson. The best man at our wedding is a commercial artist. His brother is an ex-Secret Service agent with FBI buddies. We all went to high school together.
I used to free lance for the Baltimore Sun, Baltimore Magazine, and local papers. This would make a great story, and entertain thousands of readers. All kinds of issues could be brought up as the story unfolded - cyber stalking,State Farm Insurance Company,the need for concealed carry, gun safety and responsibilty,internet bullies, invasion of privacy - you get the point, Mr. Peeper?
This story is writing itself. Most of the people reading this wrote it. Only the continued silence and retreat of two strangers will end it. If my strange new visitors want this to continue to be written and eventually published in a newspaper or magazine - keep up the harassment.
Right now I want to end it here.
Back Off.
