Beware of Singernak part 2

With the amount of bad deals this dude has made, there's got to be something wrong with this dudes head if he thinks he's the one doing nothing wrong. Just glad I haven't delt with him and I will never deal with him in the future. Thanks for the heads up although it seems you are about 5,000 sales late (Sarcasm) lol.
 
Look....We All Have Our Fans & Enemies

I am neither of the above in how I feel about Singernak or his situation about the cue. I've read and followed the posts and after reading that comment that just irked the hell out of me, I felt I had to respond with my own reply post.

Now my initial temptation was to write something blasting Singernak for the horrible slur he used and perhaps even ridiculing him to the best that my writing skills would permit. But know what? How am I any better than the person I'm criticizing, especially if my reply becomes a personal attack on Singernak.

I am not implying that I am better than Singernak and so I hope no one will infer that from my reference. As I previosuly wrote, I am not without blood on my hands from some of the rants I wrote that pissed many off from time to time. But I am just sick and tired of reading attacks on Forum members which resembles more of a shark feeding frenzy than anything else......as Grandma said, "Bad always influnces good.". And on the Forum, that seems to becoming more evident......once someone starts an attack on someone, it invariably leads to a war of posts between the two combatants....and it can get nasty....and then others start to join the fracas, etc. etc. etc.

"Singernak"....thank you for the post apologizing about using an inappropriate term. Everything is cool between you and me and I do applaud that you took the microphone so to speak and also apologized to everyone else on the Forum. Buddy....that's the stand-up thing to do and I salute you for that. Meanwhile, let's get back to my post. It was intended not to attack Singernak individually for what he did. It was composed to hopefully get others to think before they write and maybe also get the Moderators to do something about whats taking place as well. I mean I previously received a warning because I call some jer_off a bad word in a PM message I sent him and the little sissy goes to the Moderators and gripes instead of answering my PM directly....what a little girl he was.....report me to the Principal because I pulled on her...oops....I meant his pigtails. So I get a warning which went away like in a couple of days. The system in place doesn't work and the Forum has too many battlefields where this crap takes place all too often.

First and foremost, each of us has to be "accountable" for our actions and when our actions are "inappropriate", the situation needs to be reported to the Moderators. They need to inspect what's happening and cut it off at the pass. At the same time, they also need to make a determination about the offender, or offender(s) since there could be multiple Forum members stepping out of line. At that point, real penalties need to get applied if warranted. Of course, verbal warnings are always appropriate for minor. slight offenses. But bad things....you know what I mean....bad things need consequences......48/72 hrs. suspension, one week, 30 days, etc, If need be up to 6 months, a year or lifetime.

It's that simple.......if a penalty doesn't inspire any worry on the part of its recipient or foster any regret over having received the penalty, well then there just aren't any penalties at all. And so the system breaks down and it doesn't work. I don't have the answer....that's up to the Forum Moderators to discuss with the Forum owners.

Meanwhile, it's up to us individually to condemn what's going on when we see things that deserve condemnation. You use own judgement on determining what's an offense and look to the Forum rules which are not being followed nor successfully enforced. The rules are lucid, concise and simple to follow. Report bad situations to the Moderators. Their jobs are tough enough and maybe they'd do a more effective job if we collectively tried to help them. And avoid burying them with more trivial issue like I used to do, ie., bumps within 48 hrs. Only report the most conspicuous, serious problems so they don't have to sort through hundreds of messages to identify a significant problem situation.

Singernak......thanks again for ther public apology.....Cues4Christ, thanks for chimning in with your post.

About a year ago I got involved with one of singernak's bad deals. Me and several other good AZ members came up with an equitable solution. One of the highly reputable AZ members was going to be the escrow agent and not charge any fee. The buyer would send the cue back to the escrow agent and singernak would send the money once the escrow agent received the cue. After the buyer received the cash from singernak, the escrow agent would send singernak the cue.

Seems simple enough and fair to everyone, but ol singernak would have nothing of it. I don't know if the issue was ever resolved. For about 6-months after that event, I followed singernak around and posted the following comment in all of his for sale threads: Please consider using escrow is you deal with singernak or something to that effect. I would also post a link to the threads that went bad.

I have not been on AZ much lately to follow singernak around. But anyone who buys on AZ needs to do their homework. The information is there just search for it.

I too have been a member of AZ for several years. Yes, AZ has changed and it seems we have a lot more bad deals, but there are still plenty of good AZ members. And, if you are unsure of the other person, do your homework. Lastly, it is always a good idea to use a reputable escrow agent. It's well worth the money. If someone is unwilling to use escrow (singernak has stated in the past he was not willing to use escrow) be very careful.

Now, I'm not saying singernak is a bad guy, I don't know. However, he has threatened me before. I'm just saying, use escrow it protects everyone.

Just my thoughts

I keep reading posts and i have read some old posts here on AZ. Just to get a bigger picture.
To be honest, sounds like this Singernak character is a true douchebag. How would anyone in a right mind deal with him? Amazing.

What bothers me as much, is that out of all the people chiming in with horror stories, is that prior to this, I believe there was only 1 negative ITrader left for him. I know that ITrader has only been around a few years, but it seems that at least *some* of these deals gone bad would have been after ITrader was installed. I wouldn't deal with him for what he said here versus what he told me on Fleabay about the Tad he has for sale. Told me on fleabay that it was refinished (not fixed) by Tad, but told everyone here that the cue was "fixed" by someone else. I'm not too thrilled with people I know from a personal exchange to be bald faced liars.

Chris.
 
A good guy? Really? You have a cue rebuilt by someone else and sell it off as original. Sound like a good guy to you? Hell no. You buy a warped cue and sell it as straight. Hell, you even told Kevin it was warped in a PM. Sound like a good guy? Hell no again. You list a cue for sale here and say nothing in it about the 3rd shaft being cracked. In essence, trying to screw every potential buyer on AZ. Sound like a good guy? Nope again. Then there are the other 3 times that you have had people say how you screwed them. Guess they were all just lying and trying to make you look bad. You are such an important cue dealer that they have nothing else better to do with their time than to badmouth you here. Good guy. My ass. Sheister guy more like it. Say what you want to say. You are a world class sheister and I dont give a rats ass what you say. I just hope one day someone sticks it to you like you have done to many before.

Own it

Chris if you would just own up to the wrong you do to people and at least try to make things right no one would be posting. My mistake among many was not to inquire as to your character and honesty. If I had I would never had you pull your stuff on me. I still haven't been taken care of and you can't talk your way out of it. Save the b/s for the next person you try to scam and start doing the right thing. Giving me my third shaft will not clear the air but it would be a start. I told you I would let the AZ community know that all had been sorted out by you. Instead you whine about how you're being trashed on these forums. You caused that and it shouldn't have even been such a surprise. But then again you're not like most of the honest people on this site that are just trying to make some cash putting fine cues in the hands of people that not only admire them but want to know that some one like you isn't here coming out of the woodwork to rip them off! Now you're on eBay trying to scam some other people by selling that TAD. And by the way it sure looks like that one I traded you the you had your buddy repair on my nickle. Looks like you just added a third shaft to that TAD. Now where have I heard "third shaft" mentioned before??

You sound like an idiot, how about this if you have this big of a personal problem with me in general, the next time your in Vegas, i will give you the opportunity to do as you see fit.

Ever heard of " you can't please everyone all the time" well lets see i have 2 negative ITrader and and 39 Positive.

HMMM i am such a SC5, you got me NOT!

Please, quit posting negative stuff about me, as you have never dealt with me and or never will.

Let the people speak up that have dealt with me, lets hear how everything i have sold hasn't been what was advertised.

YOU WON'T HEAR IT, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST.

as far as i am concerned, GMAN,SUB,and anyone else that has said any negative or derogatory comments can crawl back in the hole in which they came from!
 
AC, you haven't made right anything that you agreed to. I am coming to LA tomorrow and i could bring another Predator shaft and give it to you, but you refuse to do what we talked about.

You had no right to bring this on AZ, as the deal happened off of AZ And never was there a mention of a third shaft.

I have agreed to give you the shaft even though it doesn't match the cue just to make you happy.

If you do what you said then you will be made whole, or the wrong will be righted, Whatever....

It's up to you, not SUBDUDE, GMANPOKE, or any other idiots that are just trying to be confrontational, because at the end of the day i don't answer to any of them, and could care less what there opinions are.

And you outed yourself. Are you or are you not selling a Tad as original and keeping the fact that the cue has been rebuilt by someone else? You did so so you could make more money on it. Did you sell a Gina that was warped to someone stating that it was straight together and apart? Did you not tell Kevin the cue was warped in a PM? Did you disclose the fact that the shaft was cracked in your listing here in AZland or did you try to screw everyone here with it? You did all of these things. Keep doing your song and dance. I see through it. And yes, I have probelms with people that just screw people for money. And I didnt get you. You got yourself. And I would brag about only 2 out of 39. Thats is like saying "I only screw someone over 5% of the time." That is a great stat to be proud of. How about me having over 300 deals on Ebay and many more than the 60 feedbacks on here and all positive. Not bragging, just giving you something to aspire to. There are some on here that have lots more than me and are 100%. And if I come to Vegas, I will look you up and I will say these things straight to your face. I always call a spade a spade.

Really???!!! Poster just above me posted few threats about your "Good reputation". Is that not enough? How about people that dealt with you before iTrader? How about guys that did not bother to give you iTrader for a bad deal?
I have done research man and i tell ya, i am shocked that you are still here.
And by the way about "next time in Vegas"...I wish you would show your face up North some time so you could hear it ALL face to face. We REALLY "like" boys like you up here. You would get a very warm welcome, i promise.
And unlike some, i am ready to talk any time. Just in case you try to tell me same crap you gave to AC.

David

Did he say the Gina was straight together and apart ? I really can't remember. I think in the eBay ad, he disclosed the roll in the butt but claimed both shafts were straight. When he tried to sell the cue to me, the butt was warped and so was at least one shaft. To be honest, I started telling him I wasn't the right buyer for his cue as soon as he disclosed the butt and didn't pay too much attention after that.

Plus I thought I remembered some deal on AZ where he sold a cue to somebody and then when the buyer got the cue and was unhappy, he claimed he was just selling the cue for a friend and was out of it, or something like that, so I wasn't that motivated to buy a cue from him anyway.

Anyway, I think what I was originally pointing out when I saw the eBay ad was that it was odd that now the cue had 2 straight shafts and that he neither took me up on my offer to verify the ivory butt cap for him, nor called Ernie himself. Which, you know, some guys flat don't want to know any information that will hurt their sales. Like I said, as soon as he told me about the roll in the butt, I was pretty much outtie.

Looks like he accepted an International PayPal payment for the Gina. Good luck with that.

Thanks

Kevin
 
He told me the shafts were straight as well and the butt cap looked to be ivory. I questioned his rep and asked for a video showing the roll out of the butt an the shafts. He said he would get around to it. I told him i would have the money friday as long as everything was good. He sold the cue to some guy that has no clue.

How do you know that that buyer has no clue?

When the seller communicated with me, one shaft had a "slight (very slight) taper roll". I haven't been doing this forever, but when guys tell me this, I hear "the shaft is warped".

He also told me the roll in the butt was a "5000th" whatever that means, what I heard was "warped butt".

I told him I highly doubted that cap was ivory and that it was easy to verify or I'd do it for him, but he decided (apparently) he'd rather go on claiming "it looks to be ivory", which, on the face of it, is no lie.

Anyway, I made him an offer, (well below what you were about to pay him) and we got within $50, which I would, of course, have been glad to fade had I wanted the cue, which I really didn't. Its far easier for me if I buy stuff that fits my favorite descriptive words (in the case of cues "excellent and straight") rather than do a lot of descriptive typing about flaws.

And that, I think, is all I know.

Thanks

Kevin

Sociopath

Chris, like I told you I will not change my thread to your liking until you finish with your part of our deal.. You wanted me to change the thread and basically lie. This was because the thread said that the cue had been repaired and you would have a hard time selling it. You also wanted me to retract the iTrader rating which as I told you I would let the admins know that you had come through with your end of the bargain which you didn't. If you tell a lie again and again you begin to believe your own lie as the truth is a classic trait of a sociopath. You just want all this to go away so you can weasel your way back in this site so you can continue to cheat, rob etc just so you can make money. You're a very sad man. Now you want to bring me the shaft which you claimed in your post as part of the deal with the Ariel rings but again only if I do what you want. I did what you wanted, you asked me to send you money so the barrel of the cue would be fixed and then refinished. I sent you the money and you also had the nerve to ask me to let you keep MY Ariel because it was your playing cue and because I still trusted you let you do that. It was because you said that you needed something to shoot with while the TAD was being repaired and refinished. I saw that TAD and even you stated in your eBay post that it shows wear etc. You never did anything to my old cue just basically extorted the money kept it and kept on going. And still you keep with your old story. I hope more and more people keep seeing this post and really rethink having anything to do with you. The negative iTrade stays as do all my forum posts because they are the truth. The real truth and not what you have come to believe bud. Do the right thing and all of this won't go away but you'll be on the road to actually have people start to trust you again.
 
Tad

He also told me that he had a video of the TAD being warped and since he sounded convincing and I didn't know of his bad rep I believed him. If I had asked to see the video he would have probably told me he would get around to it. Pretty much the same MO he is used to using with all his marks.
 
I think everyone should leave a little RED for singerripoff so others check further before dealing with this, well I will stop there! Red Rep left on my part!NEXT?
 
The good guys will always be the good guys . We know who they are .

Everyone else ya just gotta cover your butt in every way possible .
