Hey. I just saw your post that you’re looking for Orks. I got all the Orks you need dude.
This was your list, yea?
You want 20 boyz, 5 nobz and a Battlewagon, yea? I can do that no prob. If you give me $80 plus $6 for the shipping I can get that stuff mailed out. Just send the cash to my PayPal at SnakeEyes@macs.com.Boxcars wrote: I’m looking to get the following Ork models.

I’m interested in those minis, but first I just want to clear up some things about the figures before I send any money. What condition are they in? They are the new plastics and none of them are AoBR figures, right?

No prob, dude. The orks are all the newest minis and they’re in good shape. The boyz are assembled, but not primed or anything. The Nobz are still brand new just like I got ‘em and the Battlewagon is just assembled and primed black. They are all smokin’ and ready to use. I just wants to sell these minis so I can gets myself some of those hot new Warmachine elves. Those are the new hotness.
Send that $80 + $6 for shipping to me at my Paypal addy like I said before.

Well, the deal does sound pretty good, but could you possibly go $80 with shipping included? And do you do your shipping with a delivery confirmation number? I don’t do a deal unless I know delivery confirmation is included.

Sure dude. I can do $80 with shipping. No prob. And I’ll fix you up with the DC, too. Don’t worry ‘bout that. Just send me the funds and your addy and I can have this stuff packed up and sent out in a few days. Sound good to you, chief?

Ok, I’ll send the funds now. Normally I don’t send first to someone with a lower rating, but we’re pretty close so I’ll trust you. Please send me that DC as soon as you have it.
My address is:

Thanks

Hey, it’s been 5 days since I sent you the money for those Ork models and I still haven’t received the package or even the DC number. I’m starting to get concerned here. Where are my models?

I’m sorry, dude. I’ve been ultra busy at work this past week. I couldn’t get your stuff to the post office before they closed. I’m in some crap meetings today and tomorrow, but I’ll get your stuff to the post office on Wednesday no problem. I’m really sorry. I’ll drop a few extra bits in your stuff to make good.

Sounds good. If you just kept me up to date on what was happening I would have felt much better. Thanks for the extra bits. I’m very anxious to get the package.

Ok, now I’m getting really ticked off. Another week has passed and I still don’t have a package OR the DC number for the package. You promised me you’d mail that package out on the 7th. I gave you extra time after that and still nothing. Where is my package?

Ok, it’s been two weeks since you said you’d ship and you’ve stopped all contact. If I don’t hear from you in 48 hours I’m going to post a BTR and leave you negative feedback. I will also file a claim with PayPal to get my money back. I don’t see that I have any other option at the point.

Man, my luck is horrible with this deal! I’ve got the models, chief. They were sitting in my wife’s car for the past two weeks. I gave them to her so she could take them to the post office and get this deal sorted, but she forgot them in the trunk. We just found your stuff today. I’ll mail it out myself tomorrow.

Where is my DC number?! You are a total scammer and I’m putting you up in the BTR section! I’ve just filed for a refund from PayPal.
