Just sent the following message too this loser: Are you ever going to make this right? Be a man and send my 2 lousy bucks back and clean this up. How sad this is?


On January 1st Ryan and I pended a trade for the manual to Vexx. On the 4th he claimed he sent. In the interest of speeding up the trade I mailed out 2.00 cash the following day.
I have never received and he has never acknowledged receipt. I have sent 4 trade messages. I asked him 2 times to send a tracking number. I asked him to acknowledge receipt of my cash. The last two trade messages I told him I would contact the mods. and file a BTR if I got nowhere. Not one of my messages has received a response. That is why I filed. His lack of response equates with an admission of guilt. If this guy is willing to screw you over for two bucks he's a sad, sad case. If he'll steal two lousy bucks he'll steal anything. It's not the money. It's the principal. As well as letting people know how low he is.

UPDATE: Exactly one hour and 12 minutes after this BTR was posted Ryan logged onto the site. He has not contacted me. He knows it here. He just doesn't care. Stay away from this guy.


*UPDATE 12/28/2006* Coping Trade info into BTR so that I may cancel the trade and get it off my page.

on 17-Feb-2006 at 1:55pm mmm40x Last chance before I involve Bill. How said to steal 2.00 bucks. No one will ever trade with someone willing to steal 2.00 lousy bucks
on 25-Jan-2006 at 5:58am mmm40x Well one BTR and you are about to have another one filed. Pretty sad you'll rip someone off for 2.00 bucks. You know you got the money. Be a man and take care of your responsibilities! I have already emailed you asking you to post the confirmation number you agreed to use when shipping. You ignored the message. Last chance before I too, file a BTR.
Are you really going to ruin your chances of being able to trade here over a manual and two bucks?
on 12-Jan-2006 at 11:44am mmm40x Just wondering if you can post the tracking number. This seems to be taking long-even for Media Mail. Have you received my end? I sent it first class. I should have arrived days ago.
on 5-Jan-2006 at 9:41am mmm40x I sent on 5-Jan-2006.
Hi. In the interest of speeding up the trade I just sent via USPS. I didn't know how you wanted to be paid. PayPAl would have taken about .31 - .32 then postage would have left you with very little left. I just sent cash.
Thanks again,


on 4-Jan-2006 at 5:15pm DarkPaladinSE I sent on 4-Jan-2006.

on 1-Jan-2006 at 2:03pm mmm40x When I receive, how would you like payment?

3 seems a little steep. 2.00 is the highest I have seen them go for here at the site. I would do 2.00.

We agreed to trade my Advance Wars 2 box for his Ridge Racer V manual. I sent on Jan. 12th and I haven't received. He said he sent on Jan. 23rd but if that's true I should already received by now. He logs in every day but doesn't even contact me. It's not such a big loss but still.....STAY AWAY FROM THIS RIPPER!!! I don't understand why he's not banned.

On March 16, 2004, Cheriachev and I composed a trade of my $6 for his Castlevania 64, Goemon's Great Adventure, and Pokémon Puzzle Challenge <all manuals>. He sent out his side two days later and I sent his money out two days after since he asked if we could ship out at the same time and that he had completed one trade already. :/ Nonetheless, I e-mailed him after three weeks upon receiving nothing in the mail from him and got a reply that his post office is "incredibly slow" and that I shouldn't worry because "3 or 4 people....got their manuals today." I went with this and continued to wait yet another 3 weeks and if he did send them out they would've gotten here within a month. While it's true that the mail, perhaps by chance, may have gotten lost, would it have gotten lost for 2 other people as well? This proceeded on even further that on May 2, I asked him if he had any extra copies of the manuals and that if he did he would send them out. He replied that he would "hit up one of [his] friends for a manual" and he replied back on May 21 that he had sent the manuals out on the 20th. Thus up to this day I have not received any manuals from him and had not heard back from him in a long time. To make this even better, he has even abandoned this site.

A trade was agreed upon and created on March 19, 2004.. I sent him $2.00 for the Super Mariolan 2 Gameboy manual. On April 8 or 9 I sent him an e-mail asking if he'd gotten the money and if so, if he'd sent the manual. On April 11 he replied that he had been out of town and the manual would be sent out Monday (the next day). As of today, I have not heard anything more from him nor have I gotten the manual. I will delete this bad trad rating as soon as I get the manual or my money back.

I sent $6.00 via paypal for 4 various game instruction manuals. A week later I inquired back to check the status of the trade and was told they went out as of yesterday. This was a while back..almost 3 weeks ago now and so I sent 3 more e-mails but no response to any of these. I e-mailed another trader he has a pending trade with and he recieved his stuff cause he didn't send first. Not sure whats going on but would just like to recieve the manuals or the money back either way. This really isn't a big deal but since there are 8 other pending trades I figured maybe others are having same difficulty also. I'll take this down immediately upon receipt of the manuals or the refund of purchase.

UPDATE:(5/19) Almost another month has past and was told the manuals would be recieved from a friend and sent out. Still have recieved neither the manuals nor the money back. Still hoping the deal will complete with a fair ending.
