Always use paypal. Or you will get screwed. I have over 30 Pm's of excuses and lies saved. Finally after two months, he tells me he is sending it back with a 100 dollar money order to help with the $200+ shipping costs I lost. Plus the original box. There's more too it but I am too mad to type the rest right now.

Before I dealt with Cori Cluster:






After I got it back TWO MONTHS later:





No Line, No money order, No original Box.

Weird.. selling his winch with brand new bullet line?

Wow, what an a$$hole. Evil or Very Mad

Basically I wrapped the shizzle out of that thing super good when I shipped it. UPS shipped it upside down so the motor wouldnt start.. I told him to send it back. I insured it so I needed to make a claim. Instead.. He let it sit on his porch for 6 weeks and then put it in a shizzle box with no bubble wrap. It's destroyed. I hope UPS can cover the damages, but I doubt it.

no idea but they sure as hell weren't there when i sent it.. i covered it in about 5 inches of bubble wrap plus boxed it up.. he sent it to me in a box that looked like my little brother wrapped it up.. with no padding or anything.. when i got it i thought there was an animal in it because there were so many holes in the box

I hate to wish bad things upon people but trolling people over the internet pisses me off to no end.

Tad, I'm sorry this has happened. Use better judgement next time.

Start off here(anyone) and read over the site: http://www.trollhunters.com/

This is why I'm VERY picky about trading on this site due to the fact that I don't know anyone. I always post my feedback link(not worthless ebay crap) from heatware.com(under dperry03) to show that I have a very good reputation of buying and selling.


I hope karma takes it toll on the bastard that did this to you. Maybe even a semi instead of karma.



In short, DIE IN A FIRE cori.

I missed it....link me please.

He bought the winch & then decided to send it back to you?

Lets kick his ass, SeaBass. Seriously.

Long story short:

I was trading the winch for a four wheeler. We agreed on a day to send out the stuff. I get some excuses for about 10 days. He still didn't send out the quad. UPS sent the winch upside down ( yes the box was marked with arrows ). The DAY he got it he told me about the problem. I drained as much of the fluids as I could before I shipped it. He said he couldn't get it to start. I immediately called UPS and told them of the situation. I told him UPS would come inspect it to make a claim. NO BIG DEAL. Thats what insurance is for. Then he tells me the quad was stolen. So I was like whatever dude im done with this just give me my winch and I'll deal with the insurance claim when it gets here. Finally, two months later I got it back as is. So why steal my rope and hack up my frame if he didn't want the winch and couldn't even get it running?

MECHANICAL PULL, yeah man i did make the mistake on using UPS. ive never had a problem with them before and ive been using them forever. usually im not this careless on my transactions and if it was anyone else i probably would have had my winch back in a week and it would already been fixed by now.

urinal mint thanks for the info, its really helpful. ill definitely use better judgement next time. i have about 10 names on the other "legit" thread who ive delt with and who vouched for me and know im fast and careful with my transactions on the forums.
