my cousin which has an unusual name," DENTON SPARKS" just ordered a new revo rocket from ebay. a new revo shows up at his door one day earlier than estimated. after looking at the bill discovered that the price was about $100 more than bid, and come from a big box store instead of from where he ordered. after closer inspection of the bill ,turns out that there is a second person with the same name living in texas that ordered the same reel within one day of his order. and almost exact same delivery day. same name, same reel, two different states, same time of order, WHAT'S THE ODDS??  he contacted the store, they told him that they would pic up the reel and get it to correct owner. his reel never showed and ebay had to issue a refund. hope no one has the same name as me!!  

Sounds like identity theft gone wrong to me. 

the credit card #s were different. ends up that both did have account with big box store. but ebay dude ended up having bad rep. cousin learned lesson.

Wow, what are the odds on that happening.  Especially with a somewhat unusual name.

Yeah, but that story would require the "Big Box" to be manually printing shipping labels and not having them automatically generated from the purchase transaction. Impossible? no, but highly unlikely.

don't know . it was weard  I did personally see label.  the guy that ordered it address was on order with his card last 4 digits . my cousins address was on shipping delivery address . cabellas apologized for the mistake. sent ups to retrieve the reel.

According to Jim from "Taxi", the odds on that happening gotta be 3 to 1...
