BTR - Whiskey - Resolved

Post by k-chan »

I really didn't want to post this, but I have not heard back from him in a week, and its been almost 2 months since we first started the trade. He was supposed to send a money order in exchange for my IG army, we sent around the same time as he had only a few references and I had none. Apparently the first round of Money orders he sent to me did not arrive, so he was asked to send another with tracking, and he agreed, but has not logged in since the 27th. I also now see that there is another BTR that has been recently posted regarding him. I am perfectly willing to have this closed and send a good reference if Whiskey comes back and resends me my money order.

I could offer $300 shipped. I wish I could do more, but just completed trades on two other armies and am a bit strapped right now :)

Are you in the US or Canada? I think the lowest I could go would be 300$ + Half of the shipping costs, as there's quite a lot of models so shipping might be a bit expensive depending on where it's going.

Yeah, I did some rough shipping estimates, the last package I sent to the states cost me 30$ for a box half the size of the current IG box, so the shipping would probably be at least 40$. Would you be able to do something like 320$ for everything, shipping included?

Just checking in, did you get a chance to talk it over with your wife? I have had a few other offers since we talked, but mostly people just looking to buy a couple of models, so I would prefer to sell it as a lot still if you are still interested.

Cheers.

Ah, understandable, I just hadn't heard back from you in a few days so I was curious.

Basically i'm looking to have everything packed up and shipped out by this weekend at the latest, so if you are able to paypal the money to me, or maybe a half beforehand, half upon arrival, by this weekend, that would be perfect. If you don't think you can get the money together by then or don't want the army anymore please let me know, as i'll probably just be throwing it up on ebay, since I have not gotten any other decent responses here other then people wanting to split up the lot.

Thanks!

If you want, I cod send you a money order for $200 tomorrow, and the rest in a few days. I don't use PayPal, but you can see from my feedback that I use money orders a lot lol

Yeah, that should work for me actually. If you send it out today/tomorrow it should arrive by next week or early the week after I think. Usually I would like to wait till the money comes first before I ship, but since your payment also comes through the mail that might be awhile for you to wait, so I can ship it our beforehand if that's what you want. I'll also try and get some quick pictures taken before I ship them out so you can see what your getting beforehand, I'm also including a bunch of bits cases which have all the various IG bits organized and separated already.

You can make out the money order to <snip>

My postal info is..

That works for me. If you want, I can get a money order for the whole thing and send it Monday, or just split it up. My address is:

Meadville, PA

Glad you're so easy/pleasant to work with lol. And don't worry - your minis will have a loving home here with my son and I ;). If you send them Saturday they should get here Tuesday, which would be the best day as I have off all day. And day works, but I live next to Allegheny college, and the kids all moved back in. I never had a package come up lost before, but I always tell people to try and have things come on days I'll be home JUST IN CASE. If you can't get it to come Tuesday, just let me know and I'll see if my in-laws will be around.

Splitting it up actually works a bit better for me.

Yeah, I'll have it all packed up and shipped out this weekend, and i'll ask the postal office how long it should take, and if it comes with tracking, as it's quite a large box and they usually require some sort of of tracking/insurance.

I've also thrown in some other non-gw models I was using for Stormtroopers. I can't remember which model line they come from, but they where about the right size and I thought they looked kinda cool. I hope you and your son enjoy everything! Thanks for an easy and pleasant sale! :)

Hey Shawn, sorry, no IG Codex, I did throw in an old Catachan one though, although it's probably not of very much use now =P

I can't remember what all the vehicles had, but I'm pretty sure it's something like..

Leman Russ Demolisher, Lascannon Front, Open Sides
Leman Russ, Lascannon Front
Leman Russ, Open front

Everything is all packed up now and my roommate is dropping it off at the post office in a few hours. I'll let you know the approximate shipping time later tonight.

Thanks, i'll let you know if one arrives later this week. I found regular mail in Canada usually takes about 5 business days, and letters from the States usually take about double that, but over 3 weeks is odd.

Did you get a chance to take a look at the shipping receipt? I would say if nothing shows up this week it might be a good idea to cancel both of them and maybe resend another? This is the first time I have dealt with International MO's before though so i'm not 100% sure on how cancelling them works.

Hope everything is doing better for you and your son since the break in!


Re: Imperial Guard Army for sale!

Since I just dealt with standard mail there's no tracking. I'm looking for the reciept in case I need to cancel, but I might be screwed. I'm betting it was in my small wallet which got taken in the break in. I'm hoping not, but if so I'll have to chalk it up as a (big) loss and get the money to send another :(

Hey, no MO's came in this week, and since its been almost over a month I doubt it's going to be showing up. Let me know when you can get the replacement sent out, maybe with tracking to make sure it get's here this time? I'm actually really surprised it didn't show up last week, this is the first time I have ever had mail that has failed to show up.

Yep, sorry I have not updated yet, Whiskey replied to my PM and said he will be sending out the replacement MO asap. Ill update it again once I have received, and then maybe a mod can have this marked as resolved/taken down?

It's kinda a shame though, I spent so much time getting my BTR all set up nicely and in order =P

Did some googling, as I still have not heard back from Whiskey since his last PM. Unfortunately it all seems to fairly old information, most have not been updated in 1-2 years.


This appears to be an old 1UP account of his, http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=5491077

His name also pops up a lot with something called "Wethegamerz' but doesen't seem to be connected to a different website that used to go by the same name. http://www.manta.com/c/mw2sk9v/wethegamerz

This appears to be his Linkedin http://www.linkedin.com/pub/shawn-kline/33/62a/b29

His old twitter account https://twitter.com/GR_ShawnK#!

I'm looking through the various pages and trying to find an e-mail or phone number I can call and see what is taking so long.

I have gotten in contact with his former employer, who informed me that he has had problems with theft before, and he has been in trouble with the law before. I'm just trying to see what my next step is, and if I can contact his local police department in any way, but I don't really know what my options are. He also lives directly across from a University, so I'm considering reaching out to the students there to see if anyone is willing to help me out.

Don't try to get University students involved. Young people can have bad impulse control and, if one of them does something stupid, he does so while acting as your agent. You could be held liable.

No. I contacted "Gadget Review" as it was listed as his current place of work, but had not been updated since 2011. I explained to the owner who I was and why I was looking for Shawn, and he just said that "He's got a record for stealing. He's been in trouble with the law in many capacities." He didn't seem to have any current contact information.

In regards to the Uni kids, I was just considering having one of them leave a letter at his house, letting him know I will contacting the police regarding the theft, but you are right, anything that the student did would be my fault, if something were to go wrong, so that may not be the best option.

So after multiple e-mails and over 3 months I finally received... my army back in the mail! A few of the large models had pieces "removed" or broken off to fit it in the box, but at this point I could care less and i'm just glad I got something. I haven't had a chance to check through everything, but it looks like it's all there.

Glad this could finally get resolved, not that Shawn made anything easy.

Now it's time to re-catalog everything and attempt to find a new buyer..

Thank you everyone for the help and suggestions!

Okay. So, you got back EVERYTHING?
We don't want to close this thread and mark it resolved until you are certain that all is present.

I'm only asking since you have yet to 're-catalog" everything.

P.S. I advise that you leave the approriate reference, if you have not done so already.

The only thing that looks to be missing is the Catachan Codex, which I could honestly care less about. I will also leave a reference for him, not that I expect him to try 'trading' on here again.
