Default WARNING...don't deal with ALFREDO399

This guys is shady! Don't do any business with him!

The deal felt ok, we met at a 7-11 parking lot and I traded my 9mm for his .45Auto ammo. Once i got home i started transferring the ammo from the boxes he gave me to my ammo bins and noticed some different ammo randomly placed in the middle of the batches. He was suppose to be giving me ALL Winchester 230gr FMJ ball factory new ammo. I started looking at everything closely and here's what i came to find... there were a bunch of flat nose ammo in there,...there were some BAD reloads in there...there were even a few misfired rounds. SHADY!!! who does that?
I text this guy and PM him and i don't get a response all day. After the 2nd or 3rd PM he responds to me and basically says tough luck, you should have checked everything carefully. We wanted me to inspect 600 rounds very carefully???? C'mon...seriously. That tells me he did this on purpose!
DON'T EVER DEAL WITH THIS GUY. HE'S SHADY!!!

I was pretty pissed at first but I'm slowly getting over it.
Just can't believe how a person packs misfired ammo into a box and tries to sell it off. And the reloaded ammo too...I'm speechless.

karma's my best friend! He'll get what's coming to him.

Here's the pic of the reloads. The pictures don't show it too well but the projectiles are heavily wrinkled. None of my reloads have ever come out this bad. I'm definitely not going to shoot these since i'm not sure what and how it's loaded.

I'm sure this misunderstanding can be worked out before bashing him here on CGN. I've encountered (what I originally thought) many shady members & vendors here. I did give them some time to make it right before I had to publicly bash them here.

Did you read the OP's statement of "I text this guy and PM him and i don't get a response all day. After the 2nd or 3rd PM he responds to me and basically says tough luck, you should have checked everything carefully."

OP, looks like you did everything you could to make it right. The world we live in today is full of turds. You found one. I Traded a spam can of Mosin ammo for 2000 rounds of various 22 lr from craigslist. It turned out perfect, something that should be expected from a public forum and a member in good standing.

Just to show it's not a misunderstanding. Here's the PM's. Tells the tale


My first PM to him since he wasn't responding... sent on 12/21/13

I was straight up with you and gave you brand new factory ammo, not a surprise batch like you gave me. I didn't think I'd have to look at every single round you gave me but that's what its come to.
I don't trust shooting this ammo you gave me so I wanna trade it back. You give me mine back, I give you yours back and I won't report a negative feedback. We can do this tomorrow morning or another time.

After no response again....another PM...sent on 12/22/13

His response this morning...

He claimed to have sent me text messages but i still have not received anything from him. His message sums everything up as if he's paying it forward. Just because he had bad dealings doesn't mean you should try to pull any shady crap.
It's not a misunderstanding when you put reloaded ammo and misfired ammo in a box and try to sell it as factory new. There's no excuse for that, he consciously did that.

Interesting post from ALFREDO399's "friend" on calguns ?

What's so interesting about my post? Yeah I have a few members that I friend requested. I'm not replying to cover for him if that's what you think. I've made many of deals on here buying, selling and trading. I've gone out of my way to make deals happen only to get home and realized that what I just picked up is not what I expected. No I didn't call it a lost nor did I lose my head over it. I did give it time for that person/vendor to make it right so I didn't have to go to extreme measures.

I hate wishing bad on people, but he sounds like a terrible person. I hope the ammo you gave him blows up one of his guns.

That thread hasn't been edited since 12/14/13.
and i edited that to add that i'm willing to trade it for .45acp

the last time i even touched that thread was on 12/16/13 to say that a trade is pending. check your facts.

don't throw allegations out to stir the pot!

Overal... Be honest (should be a habit when dealing in calGUNs).
Check ammo.

We don't want to ruin any honor system.

No excuse for pawning off bad ammo as "factory new" especially considering the safety problems involved.

The only acceptable response should have been, "I'm so sorry there was a mixup, give me a chance to make it right".
