bartsimpson123844 Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 So, I am looking for my first AEG and found a TM AK-47 full stock with 2 large 8.4v batteries, one standard magazine, and one hi-cap magazine for $200 shipped, is this a damn good deal or what? So, she says she lives in NY, but she is going to be moving to Texas, so she told me to send the money order to her friend in Texas where she is moving and when her friend confirms that he has the money order, she will send my package. I sent the money order Monday, July 25th, so it has been so it has been 2 weeks today it was sent, I know that is still early, but I am really worried because I am also moving really soon and I haven't heard back from here that her friend got my MO, or that she sent the package or anything, I sent the money order to the following address...... M.F. 11441 N. I H 35 #11101 Austin, TX 78753 That is her friends address, and I think her name is April, does anybody know her??? Have any experiance with buying from her?? Anything??

Shao14 Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Eh... is the seller a registered member on this forum? Normally, this section is for people to report problems with transactions between members of this forum. Were you able to get in contact with the seller at all since you sent the money?

bartsimpson123844 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes, the members name is DFWchic, the last time I heard from them was July 29th. Link to post Share on other sites
DCF Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I saw the title of the thread, but I can't access it. The deal sounds almost too good to be true. Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes, the members name is DFWchic, the last time I heard from them was July 29th. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I see. What did she say in her last correspondence to you? Maybe they are busy with moving, and maybe the package is still in transit. Link to post Share on other sites
bartsimpson123844 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 This was her last PM to me on July 29th: Hey there, I was gone all day out of town yesterday...and I had work until almost midnight today (well, yesterday now)...and I have to go back in at 10am and work all freakin' day. I will contact him tomorrow after I get off to see if he has gotten it yet, don't worry. ;P Link to post Share on other sites
Duke Togo Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Sounds like you're dealing with a busy person that is selling something for a friend. Stick it out, and you'll probably get it. The only problem might be the condition it arrives in. I bought a "new in box" TM AK for a steal. When it arrived it looked like it had been through the ringer; loose parts, scratched up, and missing the screws that hold the stock on. It worked fine, just cosmetic wear, I already had metal and wood parts to dress it up so I didn't mind. But if I was buying it as a primary stock AEG I would have been ######.

bartsimpson123844 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Selling for a friend? No, she said it was hers.....I am just worried because I will be moving really soon and I want to get it before then.... Link to post Share on other sites
bartsimpson123844 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Does anybody know her? Have bought anything from her? Know where that address is? Know anything at all? Link to post Share on other sites
5thElement Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Americas a big place, i doubt any one knows her here lol Are you able to get a phone number from that address and phone the person?? might be worth looking into it, keep emailing the original person aswell.

seth Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'd get a phone number from them ASAP, and if no response, assume they are ignoring you (it is the RESPONSIBILITY of a seller who has a buyer's money to make him/herself available for communication)... I would recommend notifying the FBI as a last resort, or calling NYPD and file a fraud claim (give them the address). Be sure to be ready with printouts of the proof you have of the transaction (emails, PMs, money order receipts). Since I know you are either 13 or 14 years old, I recommend telling your parents about this NOW and see what they have to say before the FBI gets a phone call for a 13 year old.

Pull the other one Try and get some corispondence out of her. If nothing comes of this threaten legal procedings. If still nothing, follow through and go and report it Link to post Share on other sites
bartsimpson123844 Posted August 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I am going to keep sending her PM's and tell her I will go to the police if I don't receive the package soon. I'll see what happens....the thing is....she never gave me her last name or address where she lives because she said she was in the process of moving down to Texas from NY......well, I will see what happens. She could just be really busy, too.....but i doubt it....damn I have the worst luck..... Link to post Share on other sites
bartsimpson123844 Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Ah *beep*....I think I am screwed......I can't find my money order receipt......now what am I supposed to do? Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Sorry, man, the best you can hope for is she's honest, and she's just bee busy with other things. If you are moving away soon, you may want to email her and let her know your new address and ask her to mail the package to your new address after a certain date. Also set up a mail forwarding request with the post office after your move in case the package gets to your old address. Link to post Share on other sites
bartsimpson123844 Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Yea, I'm going to do that now....thanks for the advice! Link to post Share on other sites
