Re: this sucks?!
I'd agree with Camarokid. It sounds like maybe he really didn't know about deadwood. Looking through his history it looks like he sells a lot of jerseys. Perhaps he's like me and doesn't know a ton about bats. I only own about 5 bats, but I know when I received my only bat with deadwood, I was like "Ah, that is what they are talking about!" To me, it was better to have the deadwood than a bat that looks brand new.
You may not like this, but if the Brumley auction is the one in question - then I don't think I would have listed it any differently. Afterall, he did say it showed "excellent use" and even said that it "appears uncracked". To me, if deadwood was an issue, I think those phrases would have been something that triggered me to ask specifically about deadwood or why he wasn't sure if it was cracked. I even think he went above and beyond by providing 5 pictues that showed every side of the bat. Your questions were not reason for him to drop the "F" Bomb and several others. For that he was wrong and very unprofessional. (However, I know we all have those days that we just lose it, for no reason. Perhaps this was one of those days.) However, I don't believe there was a right to ask for a return as he showed tons of pictures and clearly had "All sales are final". That's just my 2cents, which might not mean much since I don't collect a ton of bats.
