so nomar05 pm'ed me on the 7th or 8th i believe asking me to text him because he was interested in trading for the Nike Fuel Band i had listed for sale/trade. after a few texts back and forth on the 8th letting me know what he had, on the 9th we agreed that i would trade him the Fuel Band and he would give me an Elite Bat Pack, RPN pants, and he would also throw in used 12.5in Rawlings glove. the bag was supposed to be in good shape and he did not say there was anything wrong with it. he first said the RPN pants were new but then changed that and said they had been worn once and washed. he said the Rawlings glove was used and maybe not the greatest but not that bad. he sent me 2 pics of the bag, 2 of the glove and 1 of the pants. in the pics the bag appears to be fine and it is holding 4 bats like it is supposed to. the pics of the glove show that it is used and flat but not completely terrible, and the pic of the pants makes them look clean and in good condition.
i told him i didn't really care for the glove but he kept asking if i wanted it so i said sure, go ahead and throw it in and maybe i can find a use for it, give it to a teammate or newbie player. we exchanged addresses and he told me her would ship out Fri the 9th, and i told him i would not be able to ship until Monday because i was out of the area at my brothers whose wife had just had a baby the day before. he said he was completely fine with that and was in no rush. Mon rolled around and i was back in town but it was a holiday, so i sent him a message letting him know that the post office was closed but that it would go out Tues. i printed out the label Mon night and sent him a pic of it so he would have the tracking number. i asked him for the tracking number for the stuff he mailed me but he said he didn't have it on him because he mailed it from work, but promised he would get it to me soon. i asked him if he knew what it said the estimated delivery date would be and he said Thurs the 16th.
next few days go by and i ask him each day, a couple times a day if he could please give me the tracking number. he had me thinking that he sent it USPS and i tell him if it was it would have arrived already from Mass if he did ship the past Fri, but the he switches and says he shipped UPS. each time he replied with an excuse or that he forgot to write it down etc but continued to say he would get it for me. on Wed the 15th i ask him again whats going on because it should have arrived already. when i shipped to him it said it would only be 2 days. but this time he says he will get me the tracking but he is now sure that they said it would arrive Mon. i call him out on his lie or contradiction, and he starts talking about how the holiday held it up and UPS made a mistake but that it would be there Mon.
the box finally arrives on Fri and i look at the shipping label and see that it was sent next day air overnight from the UMASS medical school. i'm like WTF?! i open it up and everything in it is complete garbage. the bag is filthy and has dirt and seeds in every single compartment, plus the little bungee things on both bat holders are missing making it impossible to hold the bats in place securely. the rawlings glove is a 12.25, not a 12.5, but more importantly it literally looks like it had been stolen out of a trash can, just dirty all over and completely flat/folded like a piese of paper. the pants that were supposed to be new and then changed to only worn once and washed, have dirt stains on them and holes. basically the entire package was garbage.
after some back and forth we finally agree to undo the deal and ship back the items. i tell him i'm not paying to ship the big bag of garbage back to him and that he needs to paypal me to cover the cost, but when i get the shipping estimate and it is $22, he says screw it he is not paying that much and that i should just keep the stuff and do whatever i want with it. i tell him i have no use for this trash and want him to take it back. i told him up front that i better get the fuel band back in the exact same like new condition that i sent it to him in, and he says all he did was try it on for 20sec and never even turned it on. after 3 days he finally ships the Nike Fuel Band back to me and when it arrived another 3 days later, i open up the box and see that the nike packaging has been torn up, one side completely torn off with a hole in it, and the front with a big tear in it. i open it up and the usb cable and accessories are just shoved in the box, the fuel band is completely dead with no juice to even turn on, and there are two scratches on it like he was wearing it and brushed up against a wall because one is on the power button and the other is next to the screen.
this crap is wayyy too long. i need to learn how to summarize better.
