Greetings,
Would you take Omikron: The Nomad Soul for Alien vs. Predator 2 (complete)? Thanks, Pete

After a delay in responding to his e-mail, I accepted the trade proposal.

Peter,
Sorry, for the delay in replying to your query. To reward your patience, Yes, I will agree to this trade. Post a trade report on GameTZ and supply me with your mailing address. When I hear back from you I will provide you with my mailing address. Thanks, Ron (tyiaone)

The trade report was created by Peter Roussev on 12 June 2003.
It consisted of Ronald Dawson (tyiaone) giving:
Alien vs. Predator 2
and Pete Roussev (ChiefoMeniefo2000) giving:
Omikron: The Nomad Soul
The trade had been created on 12-Jun-2003.

I sent an advisory e-mail to inform him of a mailing date.
Fri, 13 Jun 2003 11:08:07 -0400
Peter,I will mail Aliens V Predator 2 out today. Thanks, Ron

He, replyed stating that he could not find the PC game Omikron: The Nomad Soul.
Fri, 13 Jun 2003 17:07:58 -0400
Oh I hope you didn't send out yet. I am having trouble finding Omikron. If I don't find it would you take Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines & Commandos: Beyond the Call fo Duty for it. (I think that's a worse trade for me, but I want to make up for my mistake.) LMK. Thanks

I replyed to his request for me to accept differnt game(s) for Aliens V Predator 2. I indicated that he should not open the package, just return it.

Peter,
I mailed Aliens v Predator 2 out via USPS Media Mail on Friday afternoon. You should be receiving it in a few days. Your Delivery Confirmation Number is: 0302 2940 0002 4834 6296. If you can not find Omikron, just replace the mailing address, on the package envelope, with mine and return the game to me. Thanks, Ron (tyiaone)

He acknowledged receiving my e-mail request to return the game.
Sun, 15 Jun 2003 13:46:44 -0400
Ok,
Won't you take Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines & Commandos: Beyond the Call fo Duty for AvP2 if I cannot find it? Its 2 games for one. And they are woth more than Omikron. LMK. -Pete

He proposed a second trade option as compensation for not having Omikron.
Wed, 18 Jun 2003 00:03:08 -0400
Hey Ron,
I still haven't received the game. I found out that Omikron is at my friend's house, unfortuantely he lives quite far away/ Would you take Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood War for it instead? That's actually a better trade for you and if you have not played SC yet, it really is a great game (luckily for me I have 2 versions of the original and the expansion.)
Please let me know.
Thanks. -Pete

I responded, to his e-mail and confirmed the fact that I still wanted Aliens V Predator 2 returned to me, as stated earlier.
Sun, 22 Jun 2003 16:43:45 -0400
Peter,
I already own both of these games. As I stated earlier; If you do not have Omikron to trade, then return Aliens v Predator 2. Thanks, Ron (tyiaone)

After having received my game,(Your item was delivered at 9:59 am on June 17, 2003 in SELINSGROVE, PA 17870) he suddenly became too busy to comply with my request to forward my game back to me via return mail.
Tue, 24 Jun 2003 06:27:28 -0400
Listen, I'm moving to NY. My new e-amil address is flametiger2000@hotmail.com ... you can start e-mailing me there ... I will get back to you, but I'm just too busy now to do this. Give me a week, k? Thanks.

His e-mail stating that he had mailed my game back to me, but missing any form of confirmation or verification of mailing.
Sun, 29 Jun 2003 15:08:51 -0400
Greetings,
I just sent AvP 2 back. Sorry about that. -Pete

After 10 days passed and no game was forthcoming I e-mailed Peter to complain and to obtain verification of mailing if he truly possessed it.
Tue, 08 Jul 2003 22:45:27 -0400
Pete,
I expected to find my Aliens v Predator 2 PC game waiting for me at the Post Office after the holiday weekend, but still no game? I have been very patient during this very frustrating transaction; first I agreed to a trade, that you proposed, for a mediocre rated game that I really wasn't sure I even wanted only to find out that after I had mailed Aliens v Predator 2, that you did not even have physical possession of Omikron: The Nomad Soul; then several days after you should have received my Aliens v Predator 2 game, you e-mail me stating that you can't be bothered with sending the game back right away, as I had requested you do via e-mail, (how convenient for you) then when you do send an e-mail advising that the game has been returned, no confirmation of mailing is provided (insurance, delivery confirmation number, etc). As of this date, I have not received the Aliens v Predator 2 PC game that you claim to have mailed. If you have any confirmation of mailing that you have not provided me, please make that available ASAP, otherwise I will be obligated to post a BAD TRADER REPORT on GameTZ as of this weekend. Sincerely, Ron Dawson (tyiaone)

He played dumb and delayed longer (I'll get back to you) by suggesting he had a USPS Delivery Confirmation Number, somewhere???
Wed, 09 Jul 2003 19:07:32 -0400
The game is not there yet??? Let me look around for the tracking number.
I will e-mail you by tomorrow.
I did send it though.

I acknowledged his e-mail which included a USPS Delivery Confirmation Number that was to show/prove that he had mailed Aliens V Predator 2 back to me. Unfortunately, he provided a bogus tracking number that was for someone in Selinsgrove,PA. Go figure!!

Peter,
Thank You, for replying to my e-mail concerning the fact that (one month after mailing it) I still have not received my PC game back from you after our failed trade attempt. I believe you must be confused as to where or to whom you have mailed my Aliens v Predators game. I have checked the USPS web site using the Tracking Number you provided me and it provides a delivery location in Selinsgrove, PA. 17870. Note data below. You entered 0300 1290 0007 5079 3363 Your item was delivered at 10:32 am on July 12, 2003 in SELINSGROVE, PA 17870.
If you have misplaced or mismailed or have decided just to keep my game and sand bag me about mailing it back, then I expect you to provide compensation ASAP. If you can not guarentee delivery of Aliens v Predator 2 to me within the next 10 days then I expect you to provide me the two games noted below. This is the offer you made to me in compensation for not having Omikron: The Nomad Soul. (copied from your e-mail, dated June 15, 2003). Won't you take Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines & Commandos: Beyond the Call fo Duty for AvP2 if I cannot find it? Its 2 games for one. And they are woth more than Omikron.
My mailing address is: Ronald Dawson
P.O. Box 1002
West Jefferson, NC 28694

He now must admit that someone,other than me, has my game,(I wonder who?) and agrees to provide requested compensation in the form of "Won't you take Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines & Commandos: Beyond the Call fo Duty for AvP2 if I cannot find it?"
Sat, 19 Jul 2003 10:24:10 -0400
Hey,
As it turns out I did send the game to the wrong place (frown now I feel stupid). I will send you the 2 Commandos games right away. However, before I do can you send me your address again just so that I know that I am sending to the right place this time. Thanks.
P.S. I will probably send out Monday.

Sun, 20 Jul 2003 15:46:22 -0400
I again mailed my shipping address, but due to a glitch in MSN Hotmail that day Hotmail would send every time I hit the enter/return key on my keyboard, resulting in multiple e-mails being sent, unintentionally by me, to Peter's mailbox.

He acknowledges my e-mail(s),curses at me for sending too many and suggest a second possible shipping date; other than the Monday originally proposed by him in his prior e-mail.
Sun, 20 Jul 2003 16:25:03 -0400
Whoa dude? What the fudge is your prob?
You don't have to send me your address 12 times.
Jesus.
I'll send out Wednesday. -Pete

On Thursday, July 24, 2003 I e-mailed Peter Roussev for the last time and informed him that the two mailing dates ( Mon. 7/21 & Wed 7/23) that he had suggested for shipping Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines & Commandos: Beyond the Call fo Duty had passed with no notification of mailing from him and with no delivery of the games to my shipping address. I stated that if I did not receive the games by Sunday 7/27, I would post this Bad Trader Report. If he decides to live up to his obligations of completing this trade as he proposed it, then I will remove this report.
















Ron, I have sent the games out. I'm sorry, but I've been really busy. Please understand. You should have the games by Wednesday.
