The matter can be considered resolved from my part.
As far as Disel's other requests for modifying the bad reference, let me quote a section my original ad that he responded to:
And here is my PM to him on the 9th of October:Note: this will be my fifth transaction on BTown, and I have always been able to EVENTUALLY conclude the transaction, but it has at times taken a great deal of extra time and effort on my part, so I'd like to make a simple request. Please do not respond to this post if you are not able or willing to make this transaction a priority, cannot provide a method to communicate well, or cannot empathize with someone who ships first and is awaiting your equally prompt action. It shouldn't take a month to ship something or find the tracking number in your call or check your voicemail.
It is November 1st, and my communication was September 3rd. Two months and 20 bucks in shipping, a day off to go talk to a cop, 2 hours on hold to talk to a Postal Inspector. All for what? To get back my original Battleforce? I think I've been more than understanding, and this is the last of my energy I will expend on this matter, unless there is retaliatory feedback.Johnathan,
It's been five weeks since the beginning of this transaction, and I think I've been pretty understanding. I didn't doubt your integrity at any time despite the fact that you gave me a tracking number that was never entered into the USPS system, you could not produce a shipping receipt, and your contact with the post office (and their replies to you) were atypical of USPS protocol. I still am not doubting your integrity.
But I must again request that you abide by the rules of barter town and the US Postal Service and remedy this unfinished transaction. In my previous message, I laid out two options that are acceptable to me. Frankly, I thought that those options were better for you than purchasing the Grey Knight boxes you owe me, which is essentially your obligation.
Please let me know by Tuesday how you plan to complete this transaction, or I will be forced to take additional measures. I'm sorry it has come to this, but I'm sure you would feel the same if someone owed you a hundred bucks worth of stuff and started to get slow on the responses.
Thank you,
Sam
