Title: WARNING Sellers
Post by: Shane Reed on May 31, 2013, 02:39:00 PM
I am livid at the moment. I have recently seen a bow on **** that I wrote up a appraisal for a friend to claim USPS. The friend sold this bow, and was informed that the buyer didn't receive it. The friend refunded money after 3 weeks of the bow supposedly not showing up. Now the buyer has the bow listed on the big site item # 140986540569 It's a 1957 Kodiak serial number is DZ360
Sellers beware of this guy. My friend got hold of him, and the excuse was that all contact information was lost. It would have been right on the box when the guy received it.

If the USPS paid out for insurance coverage, it seems there is now proof for the Postal Inspectors to take over.

BTW, doesn't priority mail with insurance require a signature from the buyer?  I know I have had to sign a few of those pink slips.

To the best of my knowledge a signature is only required over $200. I have had items left at my door that were insured, and had others that had to be signed for.

I just sent him a message:

"I understand that you bought this bow recently and claimed you didn't receive it. How can you sell a bow you didn't receive?'

same guy had also listed a J St Charles bow in the classified here and on e8ay at the same time. He killed his auction for the '57 Kodiak today. I would avoid dealing with him for sure.
