Russel -
Alright, so I was waiting to do this because I try to see the best in people but it's been too long. About 3 months ago, I traded a member on here named Russel (
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=5137) through Airsoft Ohio. He sent me two broken guns for my G&P VOLTR Custom. I recieved a broken A&K Masada and a broken Echo 1 Scar-L. The A&K Masada was supposed to be dissassembeled but not missing any parts and was also supposed to be a Magpul PTS. The Scar I knew was a parts gun. I contacted the member and he told me he was unaware that it wasn't an A&K and that he thought it was all there. It was missing many small parts and also needed completely rewired due to the wires being cut.
After a long while of discussing that he would fix the deal by sending me a custom M4 that he made himself (even sent my pictures of him putting it up together). He told me he sent the package. Another long period of waiting, no package arrived and there was no tracking number. He says that he went through a lot of stuff with UPS and that he got his insurance back on it. He then told me that he was going to send me $100 payment through paypal. Nothing though paypal, transaction ID was invalid and even called Payapl to verify.
While all this was happening I was talking to his team leader, Bear from ODA-865, who was very helpful. I wish he could have done more but he was unable to finish the deal with his team member.
I just wanted to finish this deal by warning everyone to tread lightly when dealing with him. I felt bad because he had many excuses why that he was unable to finish the transaction (biggest one was a house fire) however I have no idea if he was telling the truth. Biggest problem was that he said he was going to finish the deal, even went out of his way to show me he was, then never did. BUYERS BEWARE!
And just so you know, I am not some random guy who has never gone through deals before. Here is my account on Airsoft Ohio where I started all my deals and if you look up at the top right, it's my iTrader (our rating system).
