On December 23, 1998, Noaman agreed to pay me 45 dollars for my Game Boy, battery pack, and carrying case. At first, he said that "We both have to send on the same day," which I took to be odd. What would be so important that we both need to send the same day? So I asked him for some references and an answer to why we both need to send the same day. He told me that he has been ripped off before and that he "swears to God" that he will send the money if I send the same day.
This normally would have set a flag off in my head, but because I was in the Christmas spirit, I guess I was willing to take more of a risk than usual, so I agreed that we would both send the day after Christmas. I sent the Game Boy and accessories out insured as planned, and have yet to receive any money for them. I have e-mailed him several times about the situation, and only got a reply to the first one, stating "I haven't gotten the Game Boy yet either." No replies to my other messages have been received.
Do not trade with this person. If he offers a very good trade, make him send first. I am guessing that he is a young child, since his e-mails are under a different name (which I am assuming is his fathers.) Beware of this trader, and if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me.
