Sky Marshal Harvest Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I hate to do this, this is the first I've done in ten years of playing airsoft. Alas, I don't want anyone else being grossly inconvenienced by this individual.Was approached by this individual regarding the sale of an AEG. After some initial tire kicking, he messages me again if I still have it. I get flakey messages back and forth, answer some tech questions, and against my better judgement, agree to meet him in Indianapolis to make a face to face transaction for the rifle. I figure this can work, as I have other business in Indy to attend to, I can show him how to get into the battery compartment, so I do some horse jockeying, get my ducks lined up, clear an afternoon and evening of plans on a rare day off (those of you that know me, know days off with nothing on my plate are unobtanium), and head north.While on the road, I let him know I'm heading his way. Within a minute of him acknowledging I'm traveling, he tells me something has come up, and that he cannot meet. That he has been called into work.Sir, I am a civil servant. I have been since 2003. Believe me, I know about getting called in. But if you are going to arrange to meet someone traveling from two hours away to make a business transaction, you do such in a fashion and time that you will not have to flake off.The trip wasn't wasted as I handled other business that I was needing to attend to in the great city of Indianapolis that day, however this kind of behavior from this individual needs to be known about.If anyone needs proof of this transaction, I can provide it. I have withheld posting them in public forum due to the individual in question being a minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 At this point the only honorable thing to be done, is for green giant to travel to Harvest, at Harvest's convience, and make good on the transaction. I personally would not sell the gun....because it's F ing awesome, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I was hesitant to write this review, however, after still being pissed after 2 weeks about how this whole thing went down, well, maybe this is what needs to be said.Don't do deals with this guy. That's it. Plain and simple.He wanted to by my full polarstar gun. We messaged back and forth through messenger, and when Iwas getting done with work he was going to work, so it was hard for us to meet up. Nevertheless, I said I would eat the PayPal fees, and to PayPal me the cash and I would meet up with him before I went to work in the morning. I agreed to this because he said, " consider it sold". Which is an agreement to buy it.I had another buyer who wanted the gun and was ready to buy it, but Green Gaint had agreed to purchase the gun so I held it. Stupid me.I then go the run around about how his PayPal wasn't working right, and I said fine, we can do cash let's meet. Then the conversation went quiet. I lost the other buyer, but did manage to sell off just the fusion engine to another player locally.Then, to top it all off. I find that he still owes money to another player here on AI, for a gun he got from him and he has the gun but isnt really making any payments on it.I'm not going to make any defamatory remarks about Green Gaint, but crap like this is why so many think the switches in his head aren't working correctly.

AceReaper Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 To be fair GG, you took a month to pay me for that MP5. Original agreement was $275 at the last battlegrounds game, which became "I'll pay you on tuesday" (following the game), then that became thursday, then it devolved into "I'll pay you $75/week until I've paid it all off." Then the day you were to make the first payment, you sent me $50 and I had to call you out, given you stated quite clearly $75 in messages via screenshot to get you to fork over the other $25 for the first payment. Everything after that went according to plan, but given that plan was sure as shit not the original agreement, I was quite pissed about the entire transaction process.

Bravo Hotel Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) He's been trying to buy some of my stuff..this may deter me from doing so. Edited April 26, 2017 by NebAnon Retracted by OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo Hotel Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) He's been trying to buy some of my stuff..this may deter me from doing so.I retract this statement, as I just did a great transaction with him. Payment was swift, I said I would only do PayPal and the day I said the full payment and where to send it to, it was done. No problems at all, good communication, and told me when he would be at work and not available. Hopefully he keeps this up with the other members Edited April 25, 2017 by Bravo Hotel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
