I think, ( and im not too good at that) you should ignore any atempt by him to contact you again and forget he even tried to in my opinion "rip you off" and keep the globe. End of story....Sold it,lost it, whatever..go ahead.Sue me!!..........Les

JJ,

There's always the "Seinfeld" response....obtain a duplicate broken globe, pack it well so it doesn't rattle, insure it, and let "Newman" pick up the tab. Let our friendly farmer take it up with the USPS. He gets his $$$, and you get your globe....p.s. Jerry got caught, but we can do better! (this post never happened)

This 'farmer' is a class A jerk. Sounds like he is trying to intimidate Mr. Jarvis and take advantage of this man's good and honest nature.

I would tell him to get lost. If he is any kind of farmer he is getting MEGA bucks from the U.S. govt. anyway, NOT to work. A good number of the farmers here in Illinois are getting checks from Big Brother in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, one guy that farms near me got over a million for his 1200 acres so tell this guy to pack it.........how greedy, crying over a couple hundred bucks.....

I think you should sell it for less.. like 275.00.. BUT .he picks it up!!

Then get him to describe it, and HEYY!! that body sounds different , not like you described.. Wrong globe!!

no sale..

Send him the picture of yourself at Rex's place holding the broken globe ! "This is ALL THAT IS LEFT of your globe, SORRY"
WE'll vouch for you !!
LOL

Just an update to the globe. I got a personal check thursday so i will cash it today and wait for the check to clear and ship him a globe.

Now i will be at Peotone i guess looking for a globe to fill a whole on the shelf!

Well one things for sure his globe will not last to long , with the Jarvis Jinx thats following it , it'll be lucky to make the shelf LOL, Sorry JJ you knew it was coming

I can see the Headlines now
Local Farmer Drops Family Globe Farmer says " I Don't Know What Happened"

Considering that he's willing to fork over the entire amount now proves that he's a grade A jerk. I am seriously tempted to recommend that you don't package it worth a damn. Oops, did I just type that? Too late, I've already hit "Submit Reply".

In all seriousness though, that would make for one less real globe, and I'm sure that isn't your style. Glad to see you'll at least get back (if the check clears) what you have into it. You're a better man than me, cause I wouldn't have gotten anywhere near this far without having told him to Go To...

wait a FULL 13 BUSINESS DAYS

DO NOT ship it any earlier

JARVIS:

BEEN READING THIS ONE FOR WEEKS NOW AND WANTED TO PUT MY TWO CENTS IN.

I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN ("WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND"). YOU'LL GET YOUR DAY.

PACKAGE THE GLOBE AS IF IT WAS BEING SENT TO YOURSELF, THAT'S A PIECE OF HISTORY NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT. THAT'S THE REASON I COLLECT, AND HOPE THE REST OF YOU GUYS DO TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

YOU'LL GET SOMETHING BACK WATCH. ALWAYS WORKS THAT WAY FRIEND.

Well i shipped the globe Wed. and it's double boxed with lots of peanuts. Hope it makes it.
It's over when he says it made it!

thank God this is over. Many of you are my friends so you won't be offended by this but you all sound like a bunch of old women at a sewing circle. Four pages, yes count them, four pages of gossip. Come on guys, let's find something interesting to talk about. This should have been over and done weeks ago.

Ray, Your comment wasn't very nice. You didn't say anything about fred's bash post that is 7 pages long and over 100 posts. Sorry this topic bothers you and i also hope it's over.

This was a thorn in my side for the last few months and it was nice to here you guys had the same view as i did.

At least it got people talking.. I hate to see a genuine post with 1 or no replies. I say if a post doesnt interest you dont return to it, obviously this one was interesting enough to draw that many responses Just my .02, that and $4.50 will get ya coffee
