Bad Trader Report: hurricanphoenix - RESOLVED

Post by OrkWaaaaagh »

Hi Bartertown,

So I have recently dealt with hurricanphoenix, who said that he had mercenary models for trade from Privateer Press

Hey you still interested in Khador stuff? I have a few jacks that I picked up recently that im lookin to sell.

I can trade as well. I have a merc force that I am expanding slowly. Sea dogs, forge guard, and the mule I am interested in. I have approximately 10 jacks and a drakhun man of war solo. Jacks include 5 Juggernauts, an old school berserker missing a foot, an old school marauder, black ivan, a destroyer, an old school heavily armoured khador jack (the clamp jack) and a behemoth conversion i did not create.

I would be very interested at the current moment I'll have to wait a day or so I just moved so I would have to locate everything first, is that all the khador you have??

Unfortunately yes thats all i have. If we do trade i am up for retail value to retail value. Mine ends up at about 300ish (not including the conversion cause that ill give up for free. Its shoddy by my standards and i dont have the time to fix it up). Your units that i listed end up at 150ish so if willing ill take the whole merc lot. You can check my math if im wrong but my end should be around 300ish and so should yours with the merc lot.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything seemed fine, but then there was a long pause on communication. So I sent a message to him

Are you still interested?
-----------------------------------------------
So a long pause went on so I started trying to trade my khador away to other people when he responded back.

Do you think my whole lot for your whole lot? Sounds fair to me. We pay our own shipping. If you agree my address is [Admin edit - Never include your OWN address. It is ALWAYS acceptable to edit out that information]. If you Cannot get it out to me before the 15th I am moving to a new address. That address is [Admin edit - Never include your OWN address. It is ALWAYS acceptable to edit out that information]. Easy way to put it is before the 15 is to [Admin Edit 1], after the 15th [Admin Edit 2].

Seriously dude? Can you respond to my messages. If you dont I am gonna put a BTR on you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So this is where I am. No contact. No models. Almost 300 and change models gone and my money spent on shipping. I don't believe that he is purposefully doing this or trying to rip me off, but I am worried that he also might be trying to rip me off. All help appreciated bartertown.

So what do you guys suggest I do next? If I cannot contact him who should I contact to either get my stuff back or to get my value of stuff back? I just do not know cause I have never been in a situation like this.

If you have an email address, I'd suggest using it. give him a final warning.

Failing that, I'd call one or all of the phone numbers for the businesses associated with that address and ask for him by name.
If they don't know or have never heard of him, ask for the manager/owner & give them the BRIEF details (I arranged and online trade with a man by that name, and shipped a package to your address in his name. Online tracking shows that it arrived on X date, but I have not heard from him), and ask if they recall such a package arriving or know who might have received the package.

If THAT doesn't work, you can use a little Google-Fu to find what Post Office would've delivered it. You can ask about the package and request that they ask the Carrier if he/she recalls the package (you might be surprised what they can recall). If you're SUPER friendly and use your manners to the point that you're ALMOST overdoing it, you should see a positive reaction.

If the carrier remembers the package and 9especially) who they gave it to, call the business back and give that information to the owner/manager.

Those are the steps I'd take, in that order. I don't play around. I've been known to reach out to peoples' wives, parents and children to find them.

@hurrican-
Good to hear.

@OrkWaaaaagh-
That is not how this works.
Once you have the models in hand, update the thread to indicate that it has been satisfactorily resolved.
At that point, we'll lock it, change the title to indicate that it's resolved, and move it to the forum for resolved BTRs.

Validly placed BTRs like this are never deleted.

I don't know if it helps, and if I'm mistaken in posting this, feel free to nuke me. I had a recent deal with Chris, and while his communication was pretty slow/sporadic, he did eventually come through with a good trade. He missed a few models when he shipped, but pretty quickly sent me paypal funds of their value instead.
Do I owe you a trade ref? Remind me- sometimes I forget!

If you don't have your Location listed, take a second and update it!

-I respond within 48 hours unless utterly incapable. Please do the same. Any offer I make stands for that long as well.
-Lower rating? You ship/pay first. Same goes for me.

'How Much for...?' messages will no longer be replied to at all. I've been nice about it, now I'm done.
