Light's Out Paintball was started by two avid paintballers, both inwhich are named Chris. Although we live almost oposite sides of the US, we are great friends. We have been friends for a couple years now, inwhich we met on PB Nation. A great forum indeed, with some great people. We were just chatting paintball one evening, inwhich we do a lot, and I was mentioning how a friend got ripped off on the internet. The seller sold him a blue DM4, and he said it was in mint condition. Well, he got the marker, to find out it was scratched to a pulse, and some things were wrong electronically. Now, he know's his markers, so he was able to get it working, but couldnt do anything about the massive scratches. Well, he posted bad feedback, stating it didnt work and was scratched like no other. Well, the guy that sold the marker was well respected by mods and others, so he got all his friends together and got them to post fake feedback, saying he's a noob, and doesnt konw what hes doing, etc etc, and then a mod said show proof within 24 hours, or else he is banned! For what? Simply posting bad feedback? That shouldn't happen...in any case, he showed proof, and again the friends flamed the buyer..
I believe this wouldn't have happened at all if they had went through a third party group, like LOPB. We would have shot the marker, checked appearance, counted the cash, and most of all made sure the transaction was what had been agreed upon.
