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.
