We agreed to trade my Age of Wonders 2 for his Mafia (both complete), with both of us shipping at the same time. I sent my part First Class Airmail on July 11, and emailed him confirming this. No reposnse was sent by him, but initially I wasn't too concerned. On July 24th, I get an email notifying me that he had deleted our trade. I contacted him to see he was deleteing a trade in progress. (I'm convinced my part of the deal was in his hands at this point, as a week and a half is about right for my shipping along the east coast). He emailed back and apologized stating that had deleted the trade "by accident". I repended the deal, and 4 days later I get notified that he's trying to have his account closed. I've been in touch with him once since then, and he maintains that he has sent Mafia........ Bullcrap I say......

If he ever does the right thing, and follow through with trade as he promised, this BTR will come down. Until then EVERYBODY avoid this guy like the plague.

We agreed to a trade in November of 1999. He was to send Settlers 2 with manual, but no box, and I was to send Earthsiege 1 CIBU. I knew that he stated on his UGTZ page that the South African mail service was lousy, and that he had no problem sending his game first. He had enough international trades, and good enough ratings that I thought it would be OK to cross ship. BIG MISTAKE.... About 6 weeks later, Settlers 2 shows up (at least he made _some_ effort I guess) with no manaul as he had promised. On top of that, the CD had a huge crack across it, only because it was shipped stuck inside a manilla enevelope (not even inside a jewel case...8+( I contacted him and explained what had happened, and he told me that his brother had lost the manual and it actually his brother that had shipped the CD. (I had made the trade with Alwyn, NOT with his brother.)We agreed on a further trade to even things out, but he's fallen off the face of the earth, and has not returned emails since the New Years. I've been trading games for years now, and have recieved a few games that were shipped with questionable efforts made to protect them, but this exchange was by far the worst. This is my first (and hopefully last) Bad Trader Report, and realistically, I'm only out a game that is 6 or 7 years old. I just wanted to pass this on, and if anyone ever trades with this guy.... WAIT TO GET YOUR GAME BEFORE YOU SHIP! (You just might be glad you did...)
