Backout Trade - ryanrukus

Post by jrokowski »

On 12 Jun I PM’ed ryanrukus (Ryan Bellew) about interest in a trade and negotiations started. We settled on a trade based on PM’s and phone conversation. The last I heard that he would ship was Jun 22 then I made 4 more PM to him before he responded on Aug 01, about he got a new job and was busy. I gave it more time to think about doing a Backout Trade Report. I PM on Aug 20 with my intentions on filling a Backout Trade Report. He responded right away with an apology of the lack of communication and that his half of the trade was stolen. I asked for proof of the theft and he says he will not provide. So that’s where I am at.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you last night. The pictures look good. I didn’t see the leg armor plates for the primed Dread. Are they with the bits?

What I was thinking and did was I assigned retail values off of the GW site minus some if modified or incomplete. If you agree with the prices then we can start negotiations. You can choose from my list too equal the value of your list. I will supply bases, back packs and bolt pistol arms. I will get a final picture of what you chose and that agree on before shipping. If there is something SM you are looking for; ask maybe I have it. Also a link to my trading thread post; viewtopic.php?f=8&t=139525

Other things I want to clear up.
1. You will have to ship first as you are the lower trade reference trader.
2. I wrap each figure, piece separately and pack very well. I expect the same.
3. My references are in my sig.
4. If we continue I would like to exchange phone numbers, email address and contract info.
5. Where are you located?





Click on it to expand. My haves list pictured top to bottom left to right:

SM Terminator Captain (NIB) $17
Lemaretes OOP (NIB) $15
Dante (NIB) $18
Iron Priest Techmarine (NIB) $13
Terminator Chaplain (primed) $15
Mephiston, Lord of Death (bare) $20
Captain Tycho (stripped) $20
TechPriest (body only and bare) $5
Techmarine (missing 2 of the weapons from servo pack, large servo arm slight miss cast and stripped) $15
Chaplain (modified Crozius stripped) $12
Chaplain (stripped) $15
Brother Corbulo (primed) $17


I want these of yours;
x1 Chaos Daemon of Nurgle as pictured (primed) $15
x1 Death Company Dread w/Lighten Claws complete (painted) $44
x1 Magnetized Libby dread with all the bits, bits from an ironclad and arms pictured (primed) $44

Your value $103


If there is something you don’t agree with please bring it up. I'm a reasonable person and I am sure we can work it out.

TechPriest (body only and bare) $S
M Terminator Captain (NIB) $17
also for a further note i usually don't go price of model as a value for a painted model as it is painted/based, depending on the level of detail and size of model.as i paint models for a living i don't usually sell them for what i payed for them.i would have charged someone 10$ to paint a dreadnaught.the other magnetized dread i have decided to keep.but if your interested id give u the death company dread,and the great unclean one.for the above models listed.
the lemartes i don't care for ,i was looking for the new one and should have stated that sorry
also the space marine termi captain is pretty cool. haunt seen one of those in forever!=]
thanks james again for your time.

Hey,

The SM Terminator Captain is a very cool mini. Actually I ended up with 2 for some reason and forgot I had him. I found him looking at stuff for this trade. I thought I would offer it up. So that really worked out nicely for the both of us. That’s a bummer you’re going top keep the other Dread. From what I can tell you’re in CA, correct? I am in PA my info;

That picture of the DC Dread doesn’t really show the paint well. So no offence about me not adding and value to it. Send me your info. Please pack well and wrap the figures in bubble wrap and packing around them mail in a firm box. Make sure you do Deliver confirmation. Send me the Deliver confirmation number when you ship. My shipping methods will be the same.

If you are a painter do you have a site? More info on your painting would be cool.

Thanks for the deal

Did you ever decide what you’re doing with your Astorath? I sold the Primarch Leman Russ on eBay as a Buy in Now option. So my Astorath sits bare metal before me. Haha

The last time you sent me a PM was 28th Jun and now this is the 3rd PM I have sent as far as a reach out.

After giving this some thought I have decided to filing a Backout Trade Report on you.

My reasons;

1. You did not complete a agreed upon trade via PM’s and Phone conversation.
2. You appeared to have completing trades in the time we agreed on said trade and your last PM.
3. You are now back at soliciting trades.

If you wish to discuss this you can PM me.

As it was never my intention to cause foul feelings but loosing 2 army's kinda put a damper on a lot of trades as well as a huge loss for me in time and miniatures and painting.I have recently decided to trade again on btown to get rid of my tyranids ..

When was the “sobal army transports holding all my blood angel” stolen? Did you file a police report? Did you file an insurance clam?

My point is if you can provide me proof; I’ll consider this an unforeseen act and let you out of the trade. Btw sorry for you loss.

And u nothing from me I entered into no legal binding contract making me contractually obligated by law to fulfill I apoligised to u that I was unable to complete our trade but that's about all I can do for u ! I am not going to rush out and buy a dreadnaught and magnitize and paint it for marines that I no longer possess an army to nor am I going to be giving u any thing for free .. Worst case I get a " backed out" which is fine if u want to be like that pal but it's not the end of the world I'll explain my situation as I did to u and any one who needs " proof some dumb *edit* like that isn't worht trading with anyway..

My sorry for your loss was sincere!

You can blackout any personnel info you do not wish to divulge. The request was to simply qualify your clam of the reason of the backout trade, which now is different than you PM on Aug 01, 2011 12:48 am. Things are simply not adding up anymore to me. You have also provided me your address and phone number is the past.

I do not feel I need to gain any feelings out of this. I am a very reasonable person. You failed to complete the trade and communicate. My request for you to simply proved proof of your claim and is not unreasonable.

Re: Backout Trade - ryanrukus

Post by jrokowski »

These PM's fill a gap of PM's from Jun 26-Jul 05.


At first I didn’t think there were relative to the trade backout. These were spawn PM’s for possible paint to trade deal that didn’t materialize.

My point is that He mention in the last PM (Jun 28) of this series of 4 PM’s that he, “I might also be selling my blood angels for a tyrinid army but I'm not sure yet”. Why does this have bearing? He now has a Tyrant Army up for grabs (Aug 15) links follow. I also have the screen shots if he edits the posts.

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=145228&p=288258#p288258

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=145469&p=288808#p288808

Why would someone say they are getting rid of a BA Army for a Tyrant Army then post a “H:nids W:army swap” if it didn’t happen? Perhaps he had 2 Tyrant Army? This does not seem likely to me. He clams his BA Army was stolen as a reason for the Trade Backout. Does this seem fishy?

Another fishy thing is he also received a Good Trade Reference on 7-2-2011 for a trade involving “Traded some Chaos marines for some GK items,”. He also had a GK Army up for trade which I mentioned in PM (Jun 28) and he confirmed in PM (Jun 28). Yet he claims his GK Army was also stolen. Not saying this trade was part of that just suspicious.

There are way too many inconsistencies to his store. This is confirmed by him in PM (Aug 20) of the theft of “blood angel and grey knight miniature were stolen from my truck”.

Hi Ryan,

I have been gathering my thoughts on this. I proposed this to another painter and he said it was a good write up for a commission paint job. So I’ll start with it. I still feel a bit awkward about this because the lack of experience and how to really explain it. Please bear with me.

My Astorath is a 5 piece bare metal model with a 25mm base. I cleaned the mold lines and removed metal residue. I also have him dry fitted pretty much where I want him. I would like to pin him but not sure what you’ll need assembled or not. So I guess you need to finish with the final assemble. Also any finial cleaning as you feel fit. If that is what you do. I really don’t know. The weapon is the trickiest part to fit right as not to leave a gap in the back underside.

The following is an overall of what I was looking for in a paint job. Then again I don’t know the how complex this is or how high of a level to rate it. I want, out of a scale of 1-10 an 8 or better with a scale of 5 being a nice gaming piece. I mean I don’t expect a Golden Damon piece but something that really says “WOW who painted that”. Again I have no idea how complex he is to paint, dye or pigment.

I hope these links work.

The overall body in a dark blood red with the armor frame, top of the wings and jump pack done in gold bronze. Like in this picture linked: http://www.coolminiornot.com/273935

Another example of the (overall body) but I don’t like the wing blue in this link. I like the hair black and the face white with the purple gray as in this same picture linked.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/gallery- ... p?i=113520

I would like the wings color dark like in this picture linked but I think the same as the hair will work maybe with blood soaked tips and splatter. The tops of the wings still need to be the gold bronze color: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/inde ... pic=205075

http://fantasygames.com.pl/wp-content/u ... 6/ast1.jpg
Wings blood splatter I like

Astorath weapon is the Executioners Axe. It is a two handed power weapon that the handle is made of a spinal bone. So it has all these vertebrae ridges and the butt is a cross section. I like this look and the way the energy emanates off the electrode on side cheek protruding from the butt of the power axe. Actually I like the hair and feather color here as well; http://www.madmaxon.sk/tovar/2727_tb_40 ... rath_1.jpg

The little skulls on the shoulder pad painted like little skulls. The purity seals the seal in red the rest like a scroll. The giant scroll hanging beneath the jump pack the same and the scroll on the purity seal. The blood drop gems on the forehead, knees and stomach painted red. The knee pads, little skulls around the body and on ankle, wing on the stomach painted gold bronze and nothing green.

I hope this doesn’t seem too complicated or picky. I hope this all makes sense and is do able by somebody. I appreciate any feedback advice and thanks for your time. I wanted to do the commission paint for trade. I have it listed here on BT and DakkaDakka. What do you think?

Ryan,

The Astorath looks good. I cut the url into a browser and got a better pic. I am sure that figure looks a lot nicer in person. Is this the one that has the broken axe? What did you think of write up?

I saw you listed your Grey Knights. It seems so did a few other folks.

Ya James that's a pretty good write up I painted my astoroth a while back I was happy with it
You had a very detailed description would help a painter for sure.ya I put the gks up but nothing has been what I'm looking for them.I have put 400-500$ into them and allege hqs are painted IMO to a 7-8/10 and I havnt got an offer yet that was even or close to even I wanted orks but all I was getting offered was aobr orks and where I live I can buy all the orks stuff from aobr for 30 bucks. And if things are painted sub table I'm not gonna trade even msrp.as I'd have to strip and work just to be able to use it.all in all I might also be selling my blood angels for a tyrinid army but I'm not sure yet
