We made a deal on April 11, 2002. The deal was my Diablo 2 (PC) for his PS2 Halflife. Because I had less trades than him at the time, I sent first. Now I have more trades and he is still at the same 7 trades as before. I have not received Halflife for PS2 yet. I emailed him on May 3, 2002 with this email:

Mind you that May 4, 2002 was a Saturday, and that he would send priority, which should a maximum of 4-5 days and a minimum of 2-3 days, and also he said he would send monday, which would be May 6, 2002. I also emailed him again on May 14, 2002 which went like this:

I never received an email back. I then emailed him yesterday (May 20, 2002) with this message:

Haven't received an email back yet, but I can wait. Also I Emailed another one of his trading partners, and I specifically chose a member with a gold star Because he would be more trustworthy than someone with a bronze or no star, Which I realized would not be a good idea because Ritchard would have had to send first and would not have a chance to rip him off. But here is the email I sent to the other user:

I see you have traded with Rickf. Has his end of the trade been slow with you?? I made a deal with him a month ago for my Diablo 2 and his Halflife. about 3 weeks ago I emailed him asking if he sent. He said no and he would send on monday Priority Mail (It was a Friday I emailed him on and saturday he got back to me). Now I cannot get in touch with him at all.

Well I received an email from his othe trading partner saying this:

Well, everything went quite well for our transaction. I had A LOT more
trades on here than he did, so he shipped first. It was awhile ago, but I
received everything quickly from what i remember. Hope things work out for you.

To recap, We made a deal over a month ago. I sent first. I emailed him and he responded back saying he would send next business day via priority mail. After that I couldn't get in touch with him. I emailed an old trading partner of his and he said that he sent fast with him, but because he had more trades. The only way I am taking dow this BTR is:

1. I receive PS2 halflife.
2. I get Diablo 2 back, and then we will be even.

I will keep this updated as this develops.
