this is the type of stuff I hate.  I'm an old timer on a handgun hunting site and I always make sure to stay in contact with anyone I have a deal going with if there is any hang ups and I always give them tracking info.  I also always figure if someone is trusting me to send an item or money I should have the same trust.  I have been burnt a time or two but I figure I can either be suspicious of everyone or go on trusting that the vast majority of people in the hunting sports are trustworthy.

Redshaft, if you're talking about the list I posted....that's a list of Trad Gangers that he has taken advantage of....the one's that I know about so far.  It looks like on all the forums he uses some version of oktechie, techieok or oktechy.....if you do a search for those names, he also peruses other archery, hunting forums using the same names.

sad deal, giving okies a bad name. I have NEVER EVER had a bad deal on here or any other classified and i have done alot of deals.  Im sure i've seen this guys truck around at some shoots.  You want to give a guy the benefit of the doubt as soemtimes stuff happens but not when he makes 'guarentees' in emails that appear to be flat out lies.  Sad deal

You beat me to he punch, Roger.
And in several of the photos he is wearing a WEC "Tapout" shirt.  I am SO intimidated (insert an eye rolling emoticon here..).

If he doesn't come through this time, I would say everybody get on his face book page and send everyone of his friends a detailed discription of what he has done.

The pressure will be so great, he will cave!

I have to say that I'm with gonefishing.  If this guy had taken my money, it would be very tempting to send EVERY ONE of his "facebook friends" a friend request along with a message about what he has done.  YES that would include his young son! I HATE A THIEF!

In all honesty,his Facebook page is what alarmed me as well.When he told me that his sister was sick in hospital and didn't have time to respond to anybody I felt like an a.. for sending him pm s all the time.But then I looked at his facebook page abd all the time his sis was supposedly hospitalized he was uploading all sorts of bs in his facebook.I mean really?your sis is sick and you are uploading music tracks online but you can't find a minute to send all those people that you took money or items a brief pm saying that you are going to come through?

I had an interaction with him over a year ago and he was over the top aggressive.  I stopped trying to deal with him immediately.  I am sorry for any TGer that lost out in dealings with him.

I've run into fellows like that a time or two.  One day he's going to run into someone that isn't going to flinch when he bluff charges.

you know the thing is, one day he is gonna cross paths with the wrong redneck and gonna get hurt. You just dont screw with folks pocketbooks these days as hard as money is to come by.  He is lucky that the kinds of folks you see on these forums are for the most part mild mannered good people.  One day he will for sure get what is coming to him.

Yeah...its really sad....I've had folks contact me about deals in the past.  Not sure how this guy got this far without a major alert about him.

I know of other guy like this....who would not deliver bows that were to be refinished nor answer phone calls or emails regarding....but had plenty of time to post on Trad Gang.

And there was a well known bowyer that did the same thing.....had plenty of time to 'experiment' and post on TradGang 're-discovering' archery but would not fill his bow orders and blamed it on family issues.
