Buyer beware of ob1-mackie

AZ Member ob1-mackie took my money for a cue on January 4th which was agreed to be shipped express mail and provide tracking information to me. After that, he claims the cue was shipped to the wrong address by his brother. He never provided tracking information, so I asked him to get a receipt from his brother to prove that shipment occurred. He says his brother threw out the receipt. After that, he claims it was shipped again by his wife, and that she accidentally shipped it via the slowest (rated at up to 6 weeks) surface mail. No tracking. I asked him for that receipt and he said that he threw it out, on purpose. Says he didn't think it would be needed. He sure threw that one out fast (I asked for it immediately). On January 16th, he said he'd refund me "tomorrow" (the 17th). He didn't contact me until January 19th and told me to wait until after January 27th. He often said things like "I'm a man of my word, I pride myself on that." But so far, I haven't seen actions to back that up. I have no idea if I'm getting the runaround not. ob1-mackie might be basically a good guy, and this could be two absurd mis-shipments combined with throwing away receipts. Then, promising a refund and then not delivering on that promise. By the way, I opened a dispute/claim with Paypal and they ruled in my favor, but there wasn't enough money to complete the refund. It's anybody's guess if he'll refund me in the future or not. If not, I'll pursue it further. I wanted to keep this private, but I became concerned that he might be doing this to other members. He is selling other items on here. Hopefully my case is an isolated incident. Hopefully everyone else received their items without incident. If not.......... To those that find these threads annoying, I apologize for cluttering up the for sale section. Hopefully the warning is useful to some.

Hi,
Just wanted to update thread i did receive my refund yesterday..
Shane

Glad to hear you received a refund.

None of us received the supposedly mailed items. Three different packages for people at different addresses. Pretty easy to draw a conclusion...
