Other users need to know that caution should be exercised with that user. This post won't be here for ever so people know.

These models are all 100% brand new and unassembled, and still in their little Forge World bags.
I don't give a flying gak what kind of trade history you have, I will give you my personal cell phone number and email other than a Dakka email, so you may contact me, and I am not shipping these items until I have received what you are trading me for them. You can thank Jstncloud for that.
I am not writing a bad trader report, so don't be confused, I do have these models and I am looking to trade/sell them.
'Shafted' is hardly the word I'd use to describe what happened, I tried to communicate with you and you neglected to check your messages, the fact I tried to communicate is a 'courtesy' because I wanted to deal with you, the fact you went forever without a response (and the fact you are new to the forums and have no feedback) lead me to my conclusion. Sorry you are angry.
Here is the
PM he sent me:
-------------------------------------------------------
I didn't want to write a bad trade report but at this point in time I am fairly livid. After finally being able to talk with Forge World, you cannot add or remove items from your order. You can only cancel it before it is sent. However my items have been sent now. So thank you kindly for screwing me over hard. I could understand you backing out or being worried had you actually GIVEN me anything, money, a model or two etc. however I didn't ask you to send me anything I merely asked for your patience in waiting until the order got here and I would keep you updated on the order.
So I plan on writing a bad review about you. You can say what you want that I didn't check my dakka messages everyday, despite there being ZERO updates or changes, because overall this is on you and now I am the one who is out $350 because you decided to be an donkey-cave.
Have a good life, and thank you for ruining my first experience with Dakka.

Here is my reply:

I will be sure to post a copy of your rude
PM there, noting the link to my transaction report where I was recently scammed, and plead my case. Try to tarnish my name if you like but I put an effort to contact you multiple times, you did not contact me back. Furthermore you are new to the forums, have nearly no posts (or feedback) so a lack of communication seems to point one direction, and had you checked your messages more often than never you'd have seen my concerns.
In closing, they have a return policy:

Go bash me all you want, I contacted you several times, tried to keep the communication two ways, and am still trying to be helpful (see link above since you feel you cannot return unwanted items).
-------------------------------------------------------
Rather than badmout my name (and try to tarnish the few positive trades I've managed to get in my time here) I'd have preferred a mature route have been taken that involved communication rather than a rude pm after several weeks of a lack of communication.
Furthermore I have recently been scammed here:

I felt that given Foosh's lack of posts and length of time without responses that he was either a) a similar user to the one who scammed me or b) had simply given up on Dakka. That does not excuse his rude comments towards me and does not in any way ignore the fact that I tried to contact him several times.
In closing, check the reputable trader list:

Everyone else I have dealt with has been pleased thus far, just made a purchase from lance002 and my Thunderhawk is enroute to Rurouni Benshin.

Just to bring this to light as well, I've even had a successful trade with Pnyxpresss as well.
