BTR buffaloxl

Post by Glasswalker21 »

Ok, still fairly new to Bartertown so please bear with me if I mess this up. Have had several great trades already and it's too bad I already had one go south so early on but such is life. This all started in December of 2013 and at this point I've pretty much given up on ever getting anything resolved. I would have posted this report sooner but having just had a baby the stealing of my toy soldiers got moved to the back burner.

Anyways, I spoke to Grayson and we worked out a deal where I would be sending him some Cyganr models (about $150 bucks worth) and he would be sending me $180 bucks worth of Skorne. Communication was great at first, I shipped first as I have a lower rating. He confirmed they arrived via BT about a month after I shipped so I guess US to Canada just takes a while. After saying he was shipping my models out all communication then ended and I have yet to hear anything else. I sent multiple pm's through bartertown as well as tried to contact at his email and through facbook with no response. He's logged into the website and seen my PM's so at this point I think it's safe to assume he won't be sending anything. Not to mention I've purchased the models I was interested in from other traders on the site since our last contact. He also has an open deadbeat thread which I will link at the end.

Hello, I was wondering if your skorne were still up for trade? I have a decent sized Cygnar force I'm looking to trade.

Evening, just wondering if you had a chance to see what you had left on the skorne? Just trying to plan out some x-mas purchases, thanks in advance and sorry to be a pain.

So I've got a proposal for you. Everything you listed comes to 181 retail. I've picked out some stuff that comes to 145 retail. I'd be willing to do that. I don't care if the trade is in your favor, I don't want to take anything I won't use. How does this sound to you

That's perfectly fine. Usually I suggest we take care of our own shipping, it's just easier that way. Are you familiar with the general rules of bartertown shipping, given that your new here?

Sorry for the long response been away from the house for Christmas a lot. The minis arrived just before Christmas but because of the holiday Canada post was taking there sweet ass time getting them to me. They tried to deliver but I wasn't here and then they lost it in the system till after Xmas. I just got them a day ago and they all look awesome. Yours is on the way

It's been over a month since you said you shipped the items, they have not arrived and I haven't gotten a response from you through this website or facebook. If there is some kind of major life event happening on your end I'm sorry but at this point I'm just going to have to assume you're attempting to rip me off. I'm going to give it one more week and if the models haven't arrived or you still haven't contacted me to explain what happened and provide proof of shipping then I'll have no other choice but to move forward with legal action.

This is the link to his deadbeat thread viewtopic.php?f=45&t=222965

As I understand it that is still not resolved. Thanks in advance for any help and if the mini's are just gone then oh well, I'm not going to lose any sleep about it and I'll just chalk it up to a learning experience on my side.

If anyone ever tells you that it's Bartertown rules that the lower rated trader ships first, they are full of CRAP.
Our rules have NOTHING to say about who ships first. It *is* a common convention that most traders, especially the established/proven ones, follow... but it is no way, shape or form endorsed by Bartertown as anything remotely official... and I don't think it ever will be.

Re: BTR buffaloxl

I still need you to provide the address, per above, but I did find this:

https://www.facebook.com/buffalo.walker?fref=ts

Buffalo.Walker@hotmail.com

Here's a gaming group he's a member of:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2322604329/

And another:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/103703309697887/

Yet another:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/346884885386773/

He's a member of a lot of gaming groups:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/38660572285/

A Facebook Wargame trading site he's part of:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/356409967719788/

First, I advise that you join every one of those groups that are open to join. Then post a quick note asking if anyone has seen or talked to him & that you're trying to find him so that you can get a portion of a trade that he hasn't sent after having received yours. Make no accusations. BRIEFLY state the facts only.
On those you can't join openly or those that are stricter (there's one above that seems to meet that criteria, at least), message the page Admin and ask for their help in contacting him (and tell them why).

Here is a list of his friends with the last name "Walker." It stands to reason that at least SOME of them will be related to him:
https://www.facebook.com/andrew.m.walker.969
https://www.facebook.com/hurrayforhelmets
https://www.facebook.com/michaelwalker222
https://www.facebook.com/William8020192
https://www.facebook.com/mat.walker.92
https://www.facebook.com/jilly.moorhead
(This one might be his wife, as she's got wedding pics on her profile and is a member of a couple of the same gaming groups)
edit - It's his wife. Check out these pics:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =3&theater
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =3&theater
https://www.facebook.com/jilly.moorhead ... 351&type=3

I'd contact all the "Walkers" above -especially his wife- with the same general message as for the groups I linked earlier, and I'd also send HIM a Facebook message, letting him know what actions you've made so far. I'd send him an identical email at the address I provided earlier.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes!

Well I've gotten no responses from the guy and at this point it's been long enough where if he was going to try and make it right I would think he would have. I'm going to chalk this up as a lesson learned and would recommend that anyone trading with him in the future to require he ship first. Real shame that it happened like this but at least all my other trades have been great so far. Thanks for trying to help get it resolved.
