@Spire_182 - Your search-fu is strong.

Let's find him

Well done, Spire.
While I can't check those links myself while at work, what you've posted LOOKS like it all adds up.

Okay, JLong05... Spire's "Search-Fu'ed" it for ya. Time to make a phone call, I think.

Spire, as an ex-skip tracer myself I have to admit your search-fu is amazing. I will be honest and say I never bothered to do any aditional effort here. Yes I am out the bits and have to pay from my pocket to replace them. I have left the negative feedback. As you said, skip tracing can get expensive and for $40 - $50 in bits it wasnt worth the effort other than me tryign to be nice and get stuff replaced through normal contact methods.

If I was talking hundreds of dollars or if he never shipped anything to me and I was out the entire value on my side I woudl have no porblems calling his Mother, Sister, Brother, and Aunt Elda.

But given the circumstances I think the negative feedback is plenty here. I only wish he had kept active and would have responded, in case this was just a bad examlple of poor followup. But oh well.

I did learn to get pics of questionable items now.

Thanks everyone. It's just a skill set that I picked up somewhere along the way.

I'm just trying to do my part here on Bartertown to help my fellow man.

Just completing followup up. I still never heard a response, but I did notice that the Pms in my outbox have been picked up finally. So it appears he has been online.
