Ok....Well I will try to keep it short as it is a long story.
This maching was on CL in MA and posted in the CL sale section here. I called the number only to have it tell me that it was out of service. I figured it was a joke but sent a quick email with my phone number anyway. I then posted in the thread that I thought it was bogus. I heard nothing for the rest of the day.
Then next morning I get a call and its the Wacko guy. He tells me that he is using his wifes phone because he was having trouble with his. No big deal I figure. We talk about the game a bit and being that it was so far away and Thursday I tell him I will overnight him the cash for the game and set up the shipping for the next day(Friday).
Now this is where the fun begins....I come to find out later that night his brother had got in his head that this was going to be a scam and that the game would be picked up and the money would never come....
So Friday morning I wake up to 5 missed calls...starting at 5AM....(im west coast and he is east and did not think about it)....all the Wacko guy....telling me that I was trying to scam him and the money never came (Thanks Fedex).
Imagine getting a message from Tony Soprano after he figured you were ripping him off!
He said that he had called the shipping company and told them that if they showed up that the guys where the game was (a tattoo parlor) were going to shoot them on sight. He himself went down to the tattoo shop and waited for the truck to chase them off. You get the idea....
So after listening to 4 or 5 messages like this I call and the first thing he says is "IM SO SORRY"..... Turns out when he got home the money was on his porch. I even sent a little extra for the game because it sounded nice and I thought he could use it. He felt really bad.
