ARod 500 HR Game Base Problem
I do not know if I am writing in the right place but I need some opinions on a situation i encountered now when buying a game used base. I bought a base from the 8/4/05 game through a pre-order program thru their website. I was very excited and passed up on other item from this historic date just because this item was so rare. i have a confirmation email that the transaction was a success. but yesterday i got a phone message saying that the item is not available. this seems odd and was wondering whether they just decided to pull the item and just tell me its not available. do you think i have any recourse or can ask someone higher up the ladder in their company to make this right. i need some opinions before i return the call of the company's representative.

After historic/milestone games, a player sometimes requests items from the game. The team usually obliges regardless of any agreements with other companies.

the player did not keep all the bases. they found out they could sell it for more than what you paid when you preordered.

Re: ARod 500 HR Game Base Problem
if i have a email verification that say the sale was complete, doesnt that mean anything? i think that this is an unfair practice for a website to say a item is unavailable after a purchase is made. if this was any other date, this would not have happen. anyone experience a similar situation or have an idea what recourse i have.

Re: ARod 500 HR Game Base Problem
I have been in similar situations and have found that only one thing truly works.....
Have your attorney send them a letter telling them that they had better come up with that item quickly.........
I had an issue with Jiffy Lube one time whereby they damaged my car, admitted the damage and offered a full repair. They the corporate bean counters argued with me that they would only pay 50%. A letter from my lawyer resulted in full payment and a rental of a huge pick up truck until my car (an Escort, haha) was fixed.
A second time, my mortgage company wouldnt pay my property taxes with MY money that was in escrow. A letter from my lawyer seemed to show them the light.
Best of luck!

My guy was great. Just a simple letter right off the bat to let them know that I'm not playing. Works like a charm!
