How in the heck to reach Mike Mcguire???????????????????????
Good grief!
justin

I have Mike's mailing address. Maybe you can google him or check telephone info for his phone number.
Mike McGuire

Spencer, TN. 38585
-
cell phone # 931 316 9369
-
yes, no answer there for months.
Time to take my losses and find a new vendor.
So sad.
jf
-
Justin sent you a PM, Ken and I think I may have to do the same................ SAD
-
I think Mike's computer fried a few months ago, haven't seen him post over at the PA site in a while. Hope all is well with him and Kenneth, they are good people. Pretty sure they switch from osage vendors to furniture makers in the winter but still should be shipping out staves.
You could drop him a note to see if he is still available.

Hope so. He's got my money.

Hey Justin, let me know if you can get a hold of him. I've been trying also. You have my home email addy.l
-
He has a couple hundred of my dollars, been waiting since Aprill for my Osage, last email he sent me on Aug. 13th sayin he'd ship it that next Monday or a refund , never got either and no contact since................ Yes I have tried to reach him...... Go figure.... Ken
-
Same thing happened to me several years ago. Each week he had a different excuse for not sending my money back. Never did get the wood and it took over six months of correspondence to get my money back. Hope you guys get your money back as well. Good luck..........Art

Here's another number from Bing.

(931) 946-7899
Hope all is well with Mike.
-
sorry folks. I think we all got taken.
Time to cut our own bow wood!!!
-
I contacted a few people on Primitive Archers site that know Mike and live close to him. See if that helps.
-
I've been trying to reach him also for a couple of weeks, but to no avail. I've done a lot of business with Mike and everything has always been on the up and up, never a problem, always fast delivery of great osage. I tend to think that something is terribly wrong, rather than him "taking " someone.
-
Thank You Eddie, Hopefully everything turns out good for everyone. Ken
-
I haven't talked to him in a while,I have never had any trouble dealing with him,but in the pasted he had got out of pocket from time to
time,seem for no real reason,then he will
show up again.If I talk to him I will tell him folks are looking for him.
Pappy
-
Thank you Pappy. I have tried calling him on both numbers I have for him every day for nearly 5 months.

Did this ever get resolved?
I sent Mike over $500 a few months ago.
He said my staves were "Ready to ship".
2 Months later nothing.
I have tried to contact him without much luck.
Now I see this thread and I'm worried. :(
Has anyone received any Osage from Mike as of recent?
Thanks
Tenbrook
-
He posted this email on another site a few years ago. maybe it works..I don't know.
[email protected]
-
He was a vendor at the Spring Fling last weekend, had plenty of osage. I asked if he was shipping much osage and he said he was.
I would email him to see what's up, he has answered my emails lately.
-
I sent him over $500.
Warrior has not been sent his Osage yet as well.
Obviously this guy is ripping people off. :knothead:
Why are we all just pretending like he is still a good guy?
There should be a sticky at the top of this forum warning people he is a rip off!!!
Does anyone know if he is a member here? If yes what is his user ID please?
Also if anyone lives near this guy or sees him as a vendor can you please ask him why the hell he is taking us tradganger's money?
If i knew this thread existed and I saw the guy out selling Osage I would call him on it right then and there and then call the police!!!!
I'm PMing Terry in hopes he can help somehow?

I friggin dislike crooks.
:deadhorse: :deadhorse:

Got a few questions.....
Is/Was this guy a member of Trad Gang?
Is/Was he a Sponosr on Trad Gang?(I don't recall his name)
Was he 'working the board' here selling goods under the radar and not paying for a Sponsorship?
How did you guy find out he sold staves?
-
Terry
Tradgang Member 6777, and yes, I recieved PM's from him when I inquired about buying osage on tradgang. And did successfully buy osage.
Its a real shame, I really trusted the guy.
-
I honestly forget how I found out he sold staves.
I bought 10 staves from him a few years ago without any problems.
Two months ago I emailed him (I found his email in a thread here after losing it) asking to buy 10 more staves.
We agreed on a price and I sent my money (he told me at the time my staves were "ready to ship").
I emailed him 3 weeks ago asking where my Osage was and he emailed me back saying he already shipped them.
I emailed him again last week. Then two days ago. Both times with no response.
Then yesterday I find this thread while doing a search.
Thats pretty much it.

I remember what happened now.
I made a post here a few years ago asking for Osage and he sent me a PM saying he was a seller.
-
I think Mike's user name is "Yazoo". I have known Mike for a few years now, have bought staves from him and his Dad and actually at the Tenn Classic last year Mike gave me an osage stave. I have never had a bad deal with Mike. He has always been up front and honest with me. I'm sorry to hear these things about him.
-
I just pray nothing bad has happened to him or his family. I not quick to judgement on this. But then again, I don't have $500 riding on it.
But a few times in my life, I was quick to judge, just to find out a tragedy happened, and I felt like a pile of mud.
He actually goes by "mike Mcquire" on here, and yazzo eslewhere.
-
I also have bought staves from Mike, lots actually, into the thousands of $, no problems what so ever I did not find out about him on TG however.
Not that really makes any difference, I am sorry for you guys that got stung.
Just hope Mike is OK.
Bert.
-
I don't even know the guy, but I know how things can happen. People get sick, have deaths in the family, or unseen life changing events just jump up and nail ya when you least expect it. I wouldn't be too quick to jump to conclusions until someone can contact the man, then make an educated analysis of the situation.
But like Big Country said, I don't have lots of $$$$ invested with him either. I'm sure I would probably feel the same as you all do if it were my arse that I was in fear of losing.
Good Luck to you all, I hope you get your staves. I really hate to read stuff like this, it kinda gives me a sick feeling in my gut when I do.
-
-
I wonder if there is enough to add him to the KNOWN SCAMMER list.
Takes $$$, doesn't deliver, stops replying to paid customers contact attempts, recently still selling what others have paid for..($1000+ sounds like).
Call the cops. Get your papers together and call.
Maybe the guy needs pressure from the authorities to do the right thing.
I have no remorse or mercy for a thief.
-
As I mentioned in my earier reply, Mike took my money and didn't deliver. Only got my money back, after many months of e-mails, when I let him know that I would be look him up at one of his sales/events :mad: :smileystooges: .........Art

I have called the police.
They are sending an officer out there soon.
The officer said he knows Mike McGuire by name, and promised me they would take care of it.
If anybody else is owed either money or Osage from this fellow please post here or send me a PM.
Thanks
Tenbrook
-
Good luck to all involved....cept the thief.
-
I edited my post because it was borderline "Bashing" and I don't even know this man. So that's not fair of me to judge someone else that I do not personally know, or have had dealings with.
I simply wanted to voice my disgust in the matter since I also sell Osage staves and to make sure that you all knew where I stand on such issues as this. I would Never accept money for goods that I could not deliver, nor would I accept money for staves that I could not ship out immediately.
I sincerely hope that you all get your money or your products. Maybe this incident will change how business is carried out in the future?
I personally would not put money down on anything that could not be delivered as soon as my money was received by the seller, but that's just me and that's how I do business.
-
tenbrook, let me know what you find out. He only owes me one stave but Id really like to get it. Dont really like being robbed. Is that his home address we are sending our money to?
-
I'm not hearing good things about this guy...folks are emailing me and calling me.
Looks like another hall of shame nominee. :(
-
The best part is that we have thousands of users and a tiny, little Hall of Shame with a few losers!
-
I don't know Mike but I have talked to him a few times. I didn't see him last weekend in FL at the TBOF shoot. He usually sells a lot of wood there.
-
I have had no problems with purchasing staves from Mike in the past. A little slow some times but always delivered. Sorry to hear that others are having problems.
-
Any updates on this? I am very curious
-
The police told me I have to file a civil suit. It costs over $100 to do so plus I would need to fly to Spencer, TN in order to proceed. I can't do that so I guess I'm screwed.
I have called him and almost all the McGuire's in the Spencer, TN area. No return phone calls from anyone.
If anybody lives in or near Spencer, TN. I would buy you dinner to go knock on this guy door and just ask whats going on?
Anyhow thats where I'm at.
This whole thing has made me sick.
I have not built an Osage bow since. I am out of Osage and now that he took my $550 I am out or money for Osage. I needed this wood to build a bow for the Tradgang swap.
This all just SUCKS!
Mike McGuire your an ass!
-
tenbrook look up SEMO HUNTER or John Scifres next time, they are both sponsers and both have a great reputation here and will do things right. I have an almost full gallon bag of processed hind leg sinew I would give to somebody if they send a stave to Cody. Send me a PM if your interested.
-
I have had a few offers for free staves.
I cant say thank you enough!!!
But to be honest. I will pass for now.
I don't even want to look at any Osage right now let alone build a Osage bow.
If it does not workout with Mike sending me my staves I will build my recepient a BBI bow.
Thanks again!!! :thumbsup:
Tenbrook

I get mad all over again everytime I read through this post!!
THIS IS JUST COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR FOR A GUY WHO SELLS ANYTHING!!
I hope he's been black listed and if not, he should be!
-
X2 Semo. I know we all hope he hasn't had personal issues, but when I read that a few guys are seeing him selling at events....well then, that says it all. GREED and a lack of MORALS!
-
Can't the "group" that has been involved all go together on a legal eagle and file together???
-
Sounds like this guy is making a great living in tough times, between selling at events and snatching peoples money...PR

Here is a post from a thread I started on Stickbow.com
I am in the boat with you I sent Mike McGuire $300.00 last Aprill he sent me 1 stave. the deal was for 2 holie charactor bow blanks and 2 staves Osage Orange. 4 pieces total, $65.00 each plus shipping. I have not been able to contact him on phone I have left messages, He sent me email recently a month ago, in reply to email from me , when i asked him if he was going to be at the TBOF shoot he answered affirmative and he would make it up to me what he owed me plus. I said good , He did not show up at TBOF shoot. I am not alone on this as others i have had contact with have been taken as well, I know of at least 3 others and now this post. I have left messages on his phone and many emails NO WOOD except the one stave I got from him about 8 months ago. damn expensive stave,, $300.00 sorry to hear of others being taken too. I thought he was a stand up man, him and his dad i have met and spent couple days with them at Last years TBOF 2010, A year I figure is plenty time to wait for wood especially when i saw pictures of his wood stash and wood displaya t other shoots last year throughout the year. I have yet to get my wood owed to me. I have talked to several people who know Mike, in person and email, they have no clue whats happened to him either..... Ken Lutz Old Town, FL.

This Mike McGuire was referred to me by someone on here as a source for osage staves. Glad I didn't buy from him now. The email that I was given was
[email protected] Is that an email that you tried?

These posts are from a thread I started on Stickbow.com
I just wanted to warn all you Osage Selfbow builders out there that Mike McGuire stole $550 from me.
I sent him $550 for some Osage staves and have received nothing. He will not answer my phone calls or emails.
Based on the thread below I am not the only one. He has taken many peoples money without delivering.
I have been contacted from quite a few ***********er's and tradganger's he has done the same thing to. He tells your to send him a check for the Osage and you never hear from him again!
You have been warned!
Thanks
Tenbrook

Just got a call from Mike McGuire.
He says he is shipping all my staves first thing in the morning.
He also said he would be sending all the people he has owed staves to their staves as well.
If anyone wants his updated phone # send me an email at [email protected]
Thanks

If anybody gets their staves let us know.
It would be poor form to bash a guy for the bad stuff publicly and not inform the public when/if he makes it right.
Just my 2¢
-
Mike just sent me my Tracking #. He has also contacted the other people that have not received their Osage and is shipping today.
Looks like this is going to work it self out.

Agreed, but then again he has not had my money. Hard for me to believe that there is or has been anyone on here that was a mean and bad person thru and thru. Especially with all of the good that goes on here. Jmho and I know what it's worth, lol!
-
Good job rattling his cage,,,to many people today just let things go,scared to say anything to people who take advantage of them.Hope everyone gets what they paid for.. :deadhorse:
-
Wow, I hate to hear all of this....I've purchased some fine staves from Mike at some shoots after meeting him and his folks at the Tenn Classic last year. They are fun to talk to and seemed quite genuine. I hope that there's an explanation.
-
I hope everyone involved gets the staves that they paid for. It's pretty pathetic that it took this much effort to get the guy to make things right. He is now on my personal "Do not do business with" list.
-
tenbrook, did Mike give you any reasons why it took so long?

That is one of my questions too.

All of my Osage arrived today. It was A+++ quality.
I have been getting PM's from some other members that their Osage they have been waiting on arrived as well. Most of them received free extra staves too.
Just wanted to update everyone that it looks like this has worked itself out.
thanks
tenbrook

:thumbsup:
So glad that this fella came around and did the right thing. Glad you and others received what you paid for. Sure like happy endings!

Mike owes me an osage blank that I paid him for over one year ago. Come on Mike, send me what I paid you for!!!
justin
-
Im with Warrior, Its been over 3 months for me and still no stave. Just emails saying he is sorry and will mail tomorrow with the tracking number. Im on email 3 going on 4 with the same tomorrow. Glad you other guys got your staves though and hopefully the rest of us will get ours. I wouldnt suggest doing any dealings with Mike at all.
-
Got text from Mike saying my order is being processed.

Has he ever gave you guys a reason for all of this???

No Mike has never given any reason for this just has said that all the negative things being said about him arent true. I tend to think they are. Good luck Warrior.

Ditto. :knothead:

Maybe I should stay out of this...but this one bothers me...
As far as "the neg things aren't true..."
I really don't think a bunch of guys got together and decided " Lets bad mouth Mike for no reason . Just for a laugh."
-
my 2cents: Why has he not posted here and give a reason for all the bad or should say NEG things.
A good man would like to clear his name, you would think : my 2cents
