Are you still around?

I have not heard anything from you in a few days. I was just wondering where we are with this trade?

I am looking for

Cyber Mastif(dog)
Current edition heavy stubber Arbite
Arbite with riot shield, or just a riot shield
First edition arbites (need only one proctor) http://www.solegends.com/citcat911/c2035impforces-h.htm on the top right with the comb on his helmet.

If you have all of that I can pay $15 plus shipping. If you have something less I can adjust that price.

My head hurts.

LOL

Between his atrocious spelling/grammar/punctuation and you posting them in reverse order....

LOL
Owww.

Has your most recent PM to him been read?

Eric

P.S. Yes. I know the Muffin Man.

yeah sorry about the reverse order thing. I just copy and pasted my last pm that had all of the pertinent information. I think the most important thing to take away from it is that its been about 2 weeks since we agreed to a deal and I haven't heard anything back. I am not really holding out any hope either.

I hope you didnt send first.....

If you get conned by someone in the UK and you are from the USA, then you are out of luck.

Communication has been good. I'm still confident with this transaction.

It is Sunday, 2 *days* after you posted this.

Where is the tracking number?!?

LEGION · Post by **LEGION** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 8:16 am

I still have not seen any PMs from The_Trader either. Don't send this person money before he ships!

kelanen · Post by **kelanen** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 12:26 pm

I've also not had a tracking number several days after he posted he would send. Also no reply to PM's...

Kelanen, for the sake of clarity, please update your issue in your thread only.
Each thread needs to remain, in general, on topic about ONE issue, regardless of the name of the trader in question.

One post informing people that you had a similar issue with this person and opened a thread of your own is fine. It's encouraged, in fact. Continuous updates, however, can become confusing to people, so we need to keep them to their own thread.

Thanks!

Eric

Okay, understood! Sorry about that.

Your apology is NOT accepted, because it isn't necessary.

You just made a small error. Nothing major.
I only addressed it because it's my job.

Take care.

I have officially given up on this trade ever happening and posted a negative trade reference.

I wish people would learn that if you have no intention of trading, don't start a negotiation, and certainly don't agree to a trade then cancel. Its just a waste of everyone's time.

Hello all:

Due to the sheer number of BTR and Deadbeat / Backout threads (8, as of this posting), I have compiled an index in the Hall of Shame:

the_trader in The Hall of Shame

When you see it all at once, it's like The Drop Zone or Ticknor all over again...
