Wow, this guy is a complete lunatic. His name is Marty Herman and he is from the Boston area.

I just wanted to warn anyone before they do any dealing with him. I know he has a well justified reputation for being out of his mind and trying to screw everyone he deals with but I thought it was worth mentioning again for the newer members who may not have seen the posts about him.

I listed a cue on my local Craig's list to which he responded to the ad asking for additional photos. Knowing his reputation, I politely responded that I did not feel comfortable dealing with him because his reputation preceded him. This is the response I received:

gd luck ill let all know your a thief and lier nobody in this area will touch dealing w/u now ill make sure if anybody buys it from u theyre getting cheated or robbed and to get thier money back the cue must be stolen or worthless but its not getting sold here now by you to anyone unless its the police i smell a rat here and the rat is you buyer beware times 3 i smell a rat for sure whoever that is be triple carefull if he tries to sell off a cue that might be stolen as all indicates will be contacting craigslist to see if u got a reciept for 1200 cue your selling a stolen cue is my bet u need to go away now sir youve been caught !

Before I had a chance to respond, I received this email

here's my ebay nic for the last 12yrs all$in 100%feedback on highend cues u idiot i smell a rat here and it stinks bigtime guess who the rat is ?facts r your a thief and lier whoever ur*

The cue in question is the Josswest I just bought from Shamadam and it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. So obviously it isn't stolen I just didn't have the opportunity to add photos because I placed the ad with my iPad.

Anyway, I just wanted to warn anyone out there what you might encounter if you decide to try and deal with him.

His reputation certainly preceded him, and I've heard countless of stories from random people throughout just about any pool hall I walk into.

However, I have to be fair though. During this year New England Hall of Fame tournament at Providence, Marty and I played a few cheap sets. It was my first face-to-face encounter with him. He was actually very nice to me, and he also provided me a few insights and lessons. I never had and will not have any business dealings with him, but at the table, he doesn't shoot bad at all.
 
If he were honorable he would have included the translation software before he sent you those two messages...

Goodness...
 
I've never met the guy, but judging from his reputation and the way he acts in the chat rooms, he's the biggest clown I've never met.
 
Marty, I know you're reading this. So let me just mention this in public. I've defriended you on fb and put your name into my block list. So don't bother spamming my mailbox with ridiculous messages full of foul languages. I have a mother too, you know.

This is sad. Why don't you walk into Snookers and ask around, ask people what kind of a person I am. I might not play as good as you, but as far as reputation goes, we're on a complete different spectrum. I stated the fact, and in fact, I defended you by noting you were being very nice to me the first time we met. You were very much out of line sending me those messages.

And I will respect your wish. I will stay out of your way from now on.

Wow, this just keeps getting better.

Here is the response I sent to Marty after receiving his email that I posted in the first post. Note: I have edited it to remove some names to keep them from being listed in the public forum.

Let me make this as simple for you to understand as possible. You tried to screw over my best friend. He also told you that he had a test to study for (police academy) and he wanted to do it another day but you insisted that you were ready to buy so he drove over an hour to meet you and you jerked him around. It is for this reason and all the other stuff I've heard about you that I don't want to sell you this cue. I tried to be polite with you but you sent me an email calling me a liar, cheat, and a thief to which I take great exception to. You also threatened to call the police and ruin my reputation for something that you have no knowledge of.
Additionally I have now learned that you are not allowed in Mr. Xxxxxxx's or Mr. Xxxx's shop but I'm the liar, cheat and thief? Everyone I have EVER heard mention your name has nothing but bad things to say about you. Is there any reason to wonder why I don't want to do business with you? You mentioned you have perfect feedback on eBay. I would Guess that's only because they have feedback. Without that system of checks and balances I would be willing to bet you would screw over everyone there too.
With just a quick search of the AZ forums site, I came up with this:

I think I'll go ahead and post the emails that you sent me to further cement your name in infamy.
So do me a favor and crawl back into the hole from which you came. You have neither the wit nor intelligence to have this conversation with me.


Here is where it gets good. This is his response which I had to heavily edit in order not to offend anyone here.

Alrighty then. I guess he really needs to be medicated.

I think I'll get him a copy of hooked on phonics for his birthday this year. LOL
 
I'd like to kick that a$shole in the nuts!

He did the same thing to me on a PFD I had listed on ebay for a friend. He's a psychopathic weasle. Nobody likes him. He should be admitted, but hasn't been becuase his wife is involved in the medical field and probably has a lot of pull in the community. Marty Herman probably craps in his hand and throws it at the computer screen when he gets angry. If thats the case... he probably has a warehouse full of poo covered pc moniters :) I've offered to talk to him on the phone about his anger problems. He just calls me a rat and threatens to cut mmy face and pee on me. Don't worry about him, as you've done nothing wrong. He's just crazy. Literally.

This is a perfect opportunity for Fatboy or CocoCowboy to insult someone's spelling and grammar. :D I mean, wow.

Does this Herman fellow post here?
 
Haha, anger problems, I have no anger problems!
I'll kill you dead tho.
Does someone have a picture of this turd?
 
Marty's biggest problem is his attitude. I've had several transactions with him over the years and ALL went well... both as a buyer and seller.
 
I met with Mr. Herman several years ago to do a cue deal at Fastbreak billiards in Plainville Ma. It did not go well to say the least!!!!!!!!! Marty showed up to a cash deal with no cash and tried to trade me a warped ugly as sin predator which he hype up the value of because only a few were made for a snakewood Dishaw worth about $2400. at the time. I never laughed so hard in my life, what a looser!!!!!!!! Marty showed up on a motor scooter and I must say they are probably fun to ride untill your friends see you on them, of course with Marty that shouldn't be a problem as I can't imagine anyone who would want to be friends with this charicter.
