This guy is a bad trader. Sent me a bunch of minitures that didnt match the discription of what we agreed on for our trade.

His real name is Gavin Lee. Just a heads up if he changes his sign on name or makes a new profile.

address would be more helpful than just a name

Yeah sure. Send him hate mail

[MOD -- It's wrong to post people's real names and addresses without their permission.]

In terms of full disclosure, a link to the thread you negotiated in, and the communications involved would be much more convincing than just, 'this guy is a jerk.'

Good point. And have you contacted him to ask him about why the models are different than described?

Did you get pics of the items before you traded with him ?

I have contacted him twice and haven't gotten a response. Its not that some of the models were differnt, its that 6 models werent even included. And the other models he sent half didnt have arms. I am not as worried about the condition of the models as the other stuff that is wrong with them.

How long has it been since you last heard from him?

Over a week

Hmmm that's rather bad news. I'd get on top of that.

I assume you sent first? :x

Perhaps an original agreement of ( list of items + discription and a photo of what you received )

A week's a little bit quick to be calling someone out for being a bad trader. Give him another week or two, then PM Magickal Memories for advice on action to take - he's the resident expert on that stuff.

I say... OP can provide the address, and Dakka prepares our torches and pitch forks.

Allow me to step in while I am being torn to shreds without me knowing it. I was swamped for the past week and the problem is going to be solved.

I sent the stuff and didnt get a chance to get back on for a bit. I forgot a few things it happens I'm human I forgot. Ever forget? Happened to me. I like how all my info is given out this fast though.... thanks guyz feelin the love.

I get my trades right and have had many other sucessful ones before this and will in the furture feel free to not trade with me though if you feel that diswayed by a simple mistake.

Yours truely me.

(puts pitchfork and torch behind back, whisteling not realizing back is on fire) YEAH GUYS!! dont be so mean...

Well, either someone here is pretty bold, or a few someones here just stepped on their rather overzealous johnsons. Metaphorically speaking.

Hope it all gets cleared up. And honestly, if I were CajunMan550, I'd consider posting up some of the particulars, links and such. I'd think about it, just for a minute. No better way to nail an online "disagreement" down. Just a suggestion.

Speaking as someone who everyone was very patient with due to real life issues coming up I'd say you should wait more than 7 days to hammer a guy. Just personal opinion but man am I glad that my trades didn't react like this that fast or i'd have been hosed. Thanks for being patient with me again everyone I traded with

@ Death By Monkeys -- Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I don't know CajunMan550 (AFAIK), but I will say THIS... The fact that he's actually posting publicly in the thread is, generally, a good sign.

Over on bartertown.com, we see a lot of these complaints. When the "accused" takes the time to post in the thread, the result is almost exclusively positive.
