Backout: purpleboxbluebox - Resolved by purpleboxbluebox

To preface this, I hate filling these things out. I generally avoid it and I make a habit out of giving everyone the benefit of the doubt if they need to cancel before anything is shipped. But this is the second time with the user in the same transaction and I'm sort of out money on this (totally my own fault for ordering additions to the army I thought I was getting, but it adds to frustration), so I'm posting it.

I do not necessarily think purpleboxbluebox is a bad guy or intended any harm out of this. It's just how things ended up, but I think it needs to be said, particularly as this lot is posted on here a lot (I actually first inquired and started working a deal out for this lot on Nov 20, 2017, and have seen it posted a bunch since after that attempt fell through). Again, not necessarily any bad intentions, but it colours the interaction.

Summary: purpleboxbluebox and I reached an agreement to trade a significant 30k Word Bearers (and allies) lot for a large Skaven army. This agreement was backed out out of when purpleboxbluebox reported that he would be needing cash instead due to a life event. A few days later, purpleboxbluebox messaged indicating that he would like to continue the deal, without the allies listed initially. We came to an agreement, and the next day, purpleboxbluebox messaged that he would need to back out due to being forbidden to trade the models.

PMs: (This is very long, and I'm editing out personal info, but in general I'm trying to include as much as possible, including my less-than-awesome money situation, for completeness's sake.)

Afternoon,

I know I've inquired about this several times before, but I'd like to kick off my Word Bearers again, and on the off chance you might still be looking to unload them, I have several things available.

In addition to what's listed here: https://www.bartertown.com/trading/view ... 0&t=310725

I also have a fairly large Sons of Horus 30k army, a decently sized Ironjawz army, and Circle Orborous.

Thanks,
Josh

Sorry, don't have an inventory for the Sons of Horus just yet. Here's the Ironjaws, though (all bare, but need a little love for mould lines):

Battletome
Gordrakk on Maw Krusha
Megaboss
2x Weirdnob
Warchanter (might be 2)
30x Ardboyz
10x Brutes
9x Gore Gruntas

Could scrounge up some Greenskinz, too, if that's you're cup of tea.

 Sent: Sun Jun 03, 2018 7:21 pm

Yep! 2 Warchanters for the IJ.

As for Sons of Horus...

40x Tactical Marines (BaC; about half with SoH Torsos, about half with SoH heads (little over half on each); about 10 have arms with bolters attached, rest weapons/arms unattached; SoH pauldrons for all)
10x Kataphractii Terminators (all dual LC BaC, all have SoH pauldrons)
5x Justaerin Terminators (arm unattached, Justaerin weapon set included)
1x SoH Contemptor w/ Kheres (arms unattached)

All of the above are bare plastic/resin and legit FW. In addition to the above, I have a big ol' set of SoH command guys that look like a mix of recast and legit. Praetor, Abaddon, and more, usually looking like a generic recast with legit SoH parts added to it. Would pretty much include them 'for free' if we work something out.

Thanks,
Josh

Interested in the Ironjawz, but nothing else. Would you be willing to make up the difference in value with paypal?

Might be! What would be your asking price in PayPal? And do you still have an itemized list handy?

Thanks,

Its hard to itemize the list as most of the stuff is out of print. In addition, I also have some more HH Word Bearer books I want to add to the lot. They are out of print. I put the value of the lot around 1300. I would do $325 in addition shipped.

Here's a breakdown of the value of your list.

Battletome $40
Gordrakk on Maw Krusha $110
Megaboss $40
2x Weirdnob $66
Warchanter (might be 2) $60
30x Ardboyz $106
10x Brutes $100
9x Gore Gruntas $237

Value $759

Gotcha. What I mean is if you have a list of everything in your lot, with or without value listed. I know you've had it posted a few times, but I only see a recent post of yours that was deleted currently.

Looks like super glue to me. I didn't build them, and they're not the best build I've ever seen, but not terrible, either. I can get some pics for you if you'd like.

Wish I did, but they're long gone. I think I still have Trazyn NiB, but I'm not even sure how I kept him, hahah.

Outside of what I've listed so far, I have Skaven (not real sure on selling them, but frankly I could use the space) and a bucket list of Yu Jing. Maybe Brettonians, but there's not a whole ton of them.

I'd much prefer Skaven over the Ironjawz especially if they are poorly built which might put me off a deal. Could you send a list of what you have for Skaven and we can go from there. Also if nothing works out I can do $600 for the lot shipped, but I don't know if it's in your budget.


 Sent: Mon Jun 04, 2018 4:57 pm 
by ninjaDance
That's a tough one. If I do get rid of them, I have, I believe, everything except the new Thanquol, the most recent Warlord model (the single plastic clampack), the FW Wolf Rats, and the FW Verminlord (which I do have pieces of from a recast, planned to make some statue scenery from it). Don't ask me how, but I ended up with several thousand dollars worth of Skaven. It might be easier for them if you came up with a wishlist... It'll take a lot of closet digging for them.

Skaven are largely in a bare or primed state. Maybe one or two things painted (one Deathwatch Snikch model out of two I own, offhand). Some are NoS or NiB. Plenty of old OOP stuff.


 Sent: Mon Jun 04, 2018 5:11 pm

I'll make a list. Do you think you can do $600 shipped? It's over half off value. I know you said you were constrained by a budget, but I like to keep my options open.


 Sent: Mon Jun 04, 2018 5:13 pm

Wish I could, but not unless a bunch of stuff sells. Have a family vacation coming up in about a month and trying to keep a strict budget until then.

Can you do the $325? You said it was a possibility, but you had to check on your budget. It looked like some of the Ironjawz were missing bits do you have them?

I crashed into somebody in my car this morning. I was at fault for the accident. I am currently broke. I have to come up with money quickly to pay insurance deductibles for my car and the car I ran into. The only way I have to make money quickly is to flash sale my model collection. This includes the horus heresy lot that I agreed to trade for your Skaven. I know this is disappointing to you and I feel really bad for backing out of the deal this late in the game. I really wanted the Skaven, but real life comes before hobbies. I am going to put the HH lot on ebay. I think I can get 650 plus shipping. I can offer the lot to you at 600 shipped. I know you wish you could and are looking forward to a family vacation soon, but it's all I can do right now. I'm pretty disparate for cash right now.

Sorry, man, that's crappy luck. Ive got my car in the shop right now, too, it's never fun. Hope you're all right! 

I wish I could buy it off of you, but no such luck unless I get a lot of models sold soon. If I do, I'll let you know and would be happy to buy it from you if it hasn't sold by that point.

Good luck,
Josh

Good news, I made enough money off loading models to cover the cost of my insurance deductibles, without selling the word bearers. If you are still interested, I would like to continue our trade; however, I sold the sicaean battle tank and palpatine blades. I suspected they were reecasts but was not sure, so I did not value them too highly when calculating the value of my lot. We can either trade for the original list of Skaven just straight out. If we do it this way I'll be happy to ship first. Usually I am pretty firm on simultaneous shipping. If you do not want to do it this way and are willing to do simultaneous shipping, I can add what little I have remaining model wise which is nib tau pathfinders and stealth suits. Don't know if you want them, but it's all I really have. The rest of the lot is genuine fw. I purchased them myself. Let me know either way. If you wish to proceed send me your address for shipping.


 Sent: Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:01 pm

That's great! Glad you got it all worked out.

Would love to go through with the trade if you're still interested. I don't mind shipping more or less simultaneously if you don't mind tossing in the Tau and at least shooting me the tracking first. I probably will be able to pack and get a label this weekend.

My address is:

Sounds like we have a deal. I'll get things packed ASAP. It will be probably be Saturday before I can get you a tracking number. FW is fragile and I can guarantee there will be breaks. What I'll do is bubble wrap all items and place them in plastic bags to keep the pieces together. I'll get you a list of which particular condition models I want from the Skaven list you sent me tommorow.

I've run into a snag in regards to shipping which I did not see when I agreed to trade. To put it simply I do not have the money to pay for shipping. I want to send the package Fedex express insure for $1300 (if an insurance payment becomes a factor the money should go to the respective party who did not receive the package) and include signature confirmation. Can you pay for my shipping costs? If you agree I'll include the celestant prime, a $80 value, in the trade as compensation. I'll be packing the shipment tonight and I'm pretty sure I can pay and print shipping online. I can give you the exact cost of shipping and if you agree paypal me the money to cover shipping.

I predicted the package will weigh 10 pounds. Rates are 37.77 for Fedex ground and 72.32 for Fedex express. You will have to sign for the package, as its insured value is 1300.

I was talking to my parents and brought up I would be trading the Word Bearers. Their disappointment was palpable. They reminded me that the army comprised of many gifts and then essentially forbid me from trading them. However much I want to trade them (which is a lot) I must respect the wishes of my parents. Sorry for letting you down like this.

That's very frustrating, particularly after spending 50 bucks on Word Bearer accessories on eBay this morning. This is the second back out in one trade, man. Not included my the lack of ability to ship without my additional payment. I understand some hiccups, but this is a little much.


-------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah. Don't think he is necessarily trying to be a jerk or anything, and I'm an idiot for buying accessories (and ending up causing future problems when he needed me to pay for shipping...) without having the lot in end, or at least the tracking number... but it is what it is. Just a word of caution for future traders.

purpleboxbluebox offered to continue the trade out of a sense of obligation (which I greatly appreciate), and I have declined, given the sentimental value of his collection.

Good on you, pbbb, for making the effort.
In the future, if you're so young as to need your parents permission before trading something, I recommend you get their permission prior to listing or offering it.
