Had a deal set up with user NeonHate. We were supposed to ship items on the same day, then a week later he says that he hasn't shipped yet and is running a little tight on money but will ship by the end of the week (1.5 weeks ago)
I then get a message this morning saying he has misplaced the parts and hasn't shipped them yet.
Offers to send paypal, and then when I say asking price refuses that and says that I will have items shipped when he gets time and finds the parts.

Very bad deal. Very sketchy.

look, like i told him, life happened. and i;ve had to move 3 times in 3 weeks. stuff is in boxes and i, between doing odd jobs for cash and searching for permanent work in a new city AND doing my class/homework havent had the time to get his stuff out. he can boo hoo all he wants. i'll get to it as soon as i can find his stuff that is in the boxes in my living room.

for the record i was to send him 2 dreadnought librarian fronts, 2 force weapons (noted that one was glued into the accompanying arm) and 1 head (well the face that goes inside the front) and he in turn sent me 2 plasmaguns and 2 meltas and a fair ammount of blood angels water slide decals.

he's in canada and i'm in texas. i'm sorry, i have a powerful need to eat and not sleep on the floor.

what was his asking price?

for 2x meltas and 2x plasmas, a fair price would have been ~$10, add in $.25 per decal sheet, and $2 shipping.

You couldn't afford to send him that?

I asked $15, there were about 10-20 decal sheets.
I don't recall the exact amount, plus some of the small banner stickers (about 5 of those)

Hey man,


Just to throw my two cents in, if you are having such a hard time finding a place to live and work... why are you buying Warhammer or in this case, offering to buy/trade and then not following through>

Neonhate,

I don't think anyone here is undermining your need for a civilized lifestyle, but the fact of the matter is, just about everyone on Dakka expects the same. Therefore, you're not exempt. And quite frankly, if you're having trouble with keeping a roof over your head and food on your table, maybe trading/buying in hobby games such as 40K isn't a smart financial decision.

My opinions aside though, the fact also remains that theQuanz sent out their stuff to you, and held their end of the deal with the assumption that you would too. You did not, and now they're seeking the corrective actions to fix it. I don't see where you get off being derogatory when from a PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS STAND POINT, you are clearly in the wrong.

And as Horst pointed out, the bitz theQuanz sent you barely add up to $15. If you can't afford that, then I suggest you get off your high horse and find the bitz you owe them now. If you've got time to be sitting in front of your computer/smartphone/etc to type a response to this TR, you've got time to sort through a few boxes of toys.
