At the beginning of March he offered me five N64 games for $70, I sent the money and waited about a week. Which i then send him an email asking if he received the money and/or send the games, well he never replied and I sent two more emails but each time they came back to me saying that his email address does not exist anymore. So anyway David if you are reading this please send the games and I will remove this report.

I made a trade with Korey Dotson (saltman4u aka kgamer219) and he gave me an address to mail my package to. I sent my package for his ps2. I mailed it out and when he didn't recieve it he said it was somone elses address. After I got ripped off we looked up his phone number in west virginia and we didn't find a number. However, when we looked for his phone number in Virginia, it was found. His plan to rip off people. He said he lives in West Virginia but no. What he does is he gives you the address and after you send it out he'll tell you that you sent it to the wrong address. And good luck in getting it back.

We agreed on a trade on September($60 for a N64 package). I had to send the money first, which I did, since he had more trades than me. He got the money in a week and sent the package by regular mail. He told me he would send priority, but I didn't mind, since the package was kinda cheap anyway. I never got the package. I tried to contact him often, but, aside from the times I saw him in chat, I never got any replies. He finally told me in chat he would send me my money back in two weeks. It's been near a month since then and I haven't heard anything from him.

I don't think he is trying to ripp me off, but I'm tired of always trying to contact him when HE should be the one contacting me. So this BTR is here mostly to remind him to contact me sometimes soon, and will of course be deleted as soon as I get my money back.

I mailed out a N64, 4 mb expansion pack, 2 games(zelda and star wars), 1 controller and memory pack. In return I was to recieve a Neo Geo Pocket Color with 4 games. I have a DC # for the package I sent, and it states the package was delivered. He denied recieving said package. I called him, and he lied several times, about his address, the package, and proceded to give me a fake DC #. I hung up, tracked the DC # and found out it was fradulent. I called back, and got his mother on the phone. She said this has happened before, and also denied getting a package(LIE). So now I am without the N64 or the NGPC which was never sent. I will persue this to the fullest extent, and will set an example out of knyland and his mother! I refuse to be ripped off, regardless of age. His mother's excuse was that he was a minor. Well, he can read well enough to participate on gametz and complete transactions, so I'm sure he was able to read the section of MAIL FRAUD. Point and case he ripped me off and I won't tolerate it.

UPDATE (10-19-00)
kgamer219's(aka kbyrd3)(aka saltman4u) mom sent part of my stuff back. Only after he had removed the Expansion Pak from my 64, and sent me back a pc game instead of the 2 N64 games(Rogue Squadron and Zelda) that I had sent him!

Once I receive something to compensate for the loss on the trade I will remove this BTR. If Knyland makes an effort to right this wrong, then I would consider him a changed trader. But until then, I still feel a warning is needed!

AuntieM(dan fox)and i made a deal and pended a trade on Febuary 22nd that consisted of me sending him payment of 70$ for a Sega Nomad, an AC adaptor and a complete Gunstar Heroes. I sent the money out right away and didnt hear anything from him. I emailed him asking what was going on after i saw that he had gotten payment, he replied saying he was busy with work and that he would be sending right away.. Well obviously he didnt and that was about 2 weeks ago! I have tried emailing him to find out what is going on but i havent gotten any replies yet. Another user is also being ripped off by AuntieM and if niether of us recieve our end of the deal we will be going together and filing for mail fraud. On a positive note, this BTR will be removed when i get my nomad.
