He thinks you were trying to scam him for $75?
I am very sorry that you have been mistreated like this. My advice is keep posting - I have a feeling you will have a lot of friends here in no time.
If you need me to buy anything for you I will be happy to help.
Thank you very much... I'll try to be active here... I'll just have to settle with seyberts or nielsen billiards for now since these are the only online store that i have experienced so far... Will keep your offer in mind... thank you again...
I'm sorry towkey that you've been prematurely accused of being a scammer. Please don't take it to heart. OP has probably been ripped off once or twice before with overseas transactions, and now he's naturally a little inclined to jump the gun. I'm sure neither he nor the rest of the users here have any actual prejudices against Malaysians. As far as I can comment personally, the first thing that comes to my mind when I read the word Malaysia is a pretty smiling lady in an advert from when holidays to your country used to be advertised on British TV all the time. :smile:
I doubt I'm going to sell anything to towkey, since I don't really have anything for sale.
But I sure as hell am not going to buy anything from BogeyFree. All he has to do is suspect me of something and he goes on a tirade? No proof, no loss...just suspicion...but the other party is labeled a douchebag scammer?

Ok let me clear the air and man up and I'm ok with that. If I prematurely labeled Towkey a "douchebag scammer" with no real basis for it then for that I apologize. Yes I have had a couple of bad experiences in the past with similar situations trusting people I shouldn't have and the first thing that went through my mind this time was "here we go again". Have no hesitation buying from me as my sole transaction here was flawless as the buyer will surely attest to and my eBay feedback is 100%. Thanks for understanding and my best wishes go out to Towkey.
Apology accepted... Hope this matter ends here... Sorry again for wasting your time because of this and good luck to you too... Thank you to the others who nicely welcomed me...

That's cool - thanks for posting this.
Don't be sorry for wasting my time. It's not a problem.
When I hear Malaysia I think of, "Derek Zoolander has been brainwashed to kill the prime minister of Malaysia!"
Hansel: "And...?"
For the record, I have sold a few cues to overseas buyers that I was wary about and the buyers had me ship the cues to a freind or family here in the states. I waited until the funds were in my bank account and then shipped away.
No issues ever came up.......

I have gotten taken twice. I buy from all over the world for various hobbies and both guys that got me were from the USA(virginia and Wisconsin) and from this site.

Chris, you're one of the best ... I remeber how kind you were to me when I was a newbie on AZ.
I must be getting old as I'm shaking my head at these type of threads. Really???? A guy with 1 itrader and less than 100 posts making a damning thread against another member over a $75 jump cue .... with no evidence to backup the claim??? Really???
Well, I gues my buying days are over since I now reside in Singapore.
Whoa Ho, you're in Singapore? I thought you were stuck in San Francisco or Jimboland.
Seriously, I assume that work brought you over there. I hope you like it. I've been there a couple of times and thought it was an amazing country. We've also done meetings and conventions there, groups etc. Aside from sipping Singapore Slings at Raffles (yes the old original one - I'm ancient) I wouldn't know what it's like to live there.
I'm jealous but there's no place like home. I hope you like it there. Let me know if you need anything.
Chris
