Anybody heard from Frank recently, and/or have his phone number? Please PM me his number if you have it available as I need to get in touch with him regarding a rifle.

Thank you,

Jarod Hanson

Here we go again.

Yup, the semi-annual move underground :-)

Trying to find Frank is like chasing Snipe.

He has never burned me, every time he has ever wanted to buy something from me or vice versa he forgets his keys for a couple of months and goes feral.

I have honestly never got to the point of sending him money or vice versa, I think that is a good place to be.

I have been on AR several times since Saeed first hatched it from whatever website we were all on to begin with. I lost my login during the original update in 2000. A couple times it was my own fault. He's been around the entire time until he goes missing.

I don't think he is a crook, just busy or senile.

If only I had a dollar for every where is Frank post. I'd have enough to buy one of his Whitworths.

If a man makes a commitment, there is absolutely no excuse for not fulfilling it; period.

I am in 100% agreement

Frank always comes through. I have had many dealings with him over past 15 years and he has always come through, although he comes up missing from time to time. Frank is a good guy.

That's the general opinion, OTOH, I trust Alberta Canuck's version much more than that of the ghost.

He should be banned from buying and selling.

I agree 100%.

All I'll add to this is my one transaction with Frank went:


ssssssllllooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwlllllllyyyyyyyyyyy

had to ask him many times to ship my stuff...

but I did finally get it.....

I will add that my transaction with Frank was the same; very slow. In fact, I thought I had been taken when I didn't get the books for which I had paid.

Then, about six months later, I not only got my books, but my money back to boot!

I can fault him for the time frame, but I have to admire him for giving me the books AND my money back.

There are others that have done that to me on guns on this website. He doesn't post anymore, so no need to drag him into the dirt.

This keeps happening over and over though.

Maybe he works for a living and travels..Give him a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Special Ops? :-)

I used to be this way until I got kicked off of here a couple of times. Very rude.

I'd say if you have a problem with
Frank being slow don't buy anything from him and just move on. No need to plaster this kind of stuff about him here

So we should no longer use this forum to warn others of the continued poor practices of others? ok, check...

The guy should be locked up in a loony bin

Everyone on this forum is expected to act like a man, and take care of their financial responsibilities.

Report the good and the bad.

Anytime I backed out of a deal I was honest and forthright.

If I was late, I told the guy I am going to be a few days late.

I say report the good and the bad, so folks don't get screwed.

"Everyone on this forum is expected to act like a man, and take care of their financial responsibilities."

Exactly. Be responsible for your own actions.
If you do not wish to wait for Mr. Martinez to ship your goods don't do business with him.

And if you feel the need to report to be careful then so be it. Just remember that what is good, and what is bad, is very subjective. Comments like "
The guy should be locked up in a loony bin" are rude.

Lindy2,

this comes from a guy who lives in Kalifornia by choice...

Run out of prozac this weekend?

Some of us have to work to pay taxes so you can get your social security check every month.

If the headquarters for the majority of the defense industry was in Casper, I'd be working there.

"Some of us have to work to pay taxes so you can get your social security check every month."

And someday the same will be said of you!

why do people from Kali always assume that other people are on drugs? I have read that people tend to project their own preferences/weaknesses onto others.

I paid into my SSAN my entire life, starting when I was making 90-cents an hour riding a tractor when I was 14; other than the 25 months and 10 days I spent in Vietnam with MACV-SOG advisory teams (wouldn't let me into the Ranger company until my older brother rotated home five months after I got there)and the Rangers. They did not make us pay taxes or into Social Security for some reason.

You should consider changing your name to Big Wonderful Kalifornia...

I am not from California anymore than you are from Idaho.

You should consider changing your name to bitchy old fart. The only other person who regularly bitches about me living in California is my mother, and she is in her 70's. Fickle like an old woman.

Boise is way more lib-tarded than Bakersfield, I seem to remember you living near there. Our county gives out the most concealed carry permits in the state, in fact more than all other California counties combined.

your Mother is a very wise woman. The common sense gene often skips a generation.

Boise? I do not even live in the same county. It does appear from your latest post, that:

a. you claim not to be from Kali.
b. somehow or the other, you receive your mail in Bakersfield.
Is there a dichotomy of sorts in your data?


The next Presidential election, Hillary will sweep Kali. Especially if your ten million or so illegals on welfare get to vote.

Rich

PS: don't be so silly...

Rich,
What dog do you have in this fight? You are going to get yourself banned from the classifieds again....

I was thinking the same thing

What in heaven's name is the matter with you guys? This is NOT the PF! It is not the full moon, so there must be something else going around. I don't know Frank from Adam, but I do know that he seems to be incommunicado for weeks at a time and then reappears. It seems reasonable to point that out to others, and that in general he seems to makes things right. Do we really need 3 pages to say this? Why does everything have to be so "personal".
Bark less, wag more! What wisdom!
Just my 2 cents! I am sure I will get clobbered!
Peter.

I know Frank well enough to know that he is an honest person dealing with issues relating to his age.

BTW, the ban was more about who made the comments than the content.

It is a shame how this thread has turned. The original poster simply asked how he could get in touch with Frank concerning a rifle. Everyone jumped to many conclusions. Most bad.

Then off to calling each other names.

Seriously.

This thread is instructive...and not concerning Frank!

You got that right.

So, ... who is this Frank guy, and is he still with us? An active AR member, I mean?

An elderly gentleman who owns about half the Whitworth rifles in the continental US.

He has occasional debilitating bouts of various illnesses and is out of touch for a couple weeks or more from time to time.

Some people here refuse to allow for this when buying or selling with him, and complain here at the length of the transaction pubicly.

Others, who have never had any dealings with Frank often feel as if they need to offer an uninformed, unsolicited opinion, like here.

In this case, nobody knows why this gentleman wants to contact Frank. It may or may not be related to a transaction. He could likely be curious as to how Frank is, healthwise...

It is fascinating to note that NO-ONE has ever accused Frank of cheating them on a deal.

Absolutely wrong. Ask Alberta Canuck.

Okay,

Alberta Canuck,

did Frank Martinez ever cheat you on a business deal?

Provide the particulars if you will...


What we do NOT need, is a second or third hand story, along the lines of; "my gunsmith's best customer has this neighbor whose brother-in-law's mailman'w wife's hairdresser's janitor heard that _____ ________ beat somebody out of a deal some time in early 2006".

I would suggest that if you were not physically present during the deal, leave it, and Frank, alone.

Frank Martinez is still my friend.
