EmpireGeneral8116 - Backout

Post by darkjedilaw »

About at the end of my good will here. I knew the guy had a history on slow trades, but it looked like he had cleaned up his act to the point that he at least was coming through on deals. If anyone knows him, please have him get in touch with me. I'm of the opinion that I will be posting neg feedback on this in 3 days given that he's pulled this before -and- he told me he was sending it two weeks ago. He was even getting the higher value out of this deal.

Saw your listing.

I'm interested in the following
25 lb box
17lbs AT blister
mortar platoon
mrotar carriers

Ive got the nebelwerfers taht came in the 2. SS box. One launcher has been assembled, primed. The rest bare metal.
I've also got the ltd ed Gazbag model for fantasy orcs and goblins that came with Warhammer Online.

If you have any of that left, let me know what you would want cash wise to make up a difference. thanks.

Just can't swing it with the cash to buy the whole army. Sorry. If you were interested in Privateer Press Menoth or possibly space marines, I could trade some more and then do a bit more in your favor.

1 e kreoss
1 castigator
1 vilmon
2 dervish
1 reclaimer

Let me do a quick count on the relative values of each lot. Tenatively, I will say yeah, lets pull the trigger on this. Quick question...where do you live? I would be shipping this stuff with some of the USPS flat rate boxes as it will weigh a metric crap ton, and just need to make sure we aren't talking overseas here.

Alright, did a rough estimate using thewarstore.com and looks like I'm about twice value. That in and of itself doesn't really detere me, I just have to ask if you might have the odd Churchill Croc, Typhoons, maybe the new North Africa book?

Well, we have a deal then. I'll probably keep a painted piece or two, probably put them up on eBay to see if I can scratch up the cash for another box of 25 lbrs, some churchills or some typhoons. Between what you have and what I already have for the Brits, I should be able to put a rifle company down pretty easily and just a few shermans short of an armored company.

Given the difeerence in trade ratings, do you mind shipping first? My address is

DJ Law
XXXXX
XXXXX

Let me know your address and I can start getting things together to get them out.

It's been a week since you stated that you would ship and I have not heard anything regarding a DC# or what the situation is, nor have I recieved a package. 7 days shipping within the US should have arrived by now.

Let me know the status as soon as you can. I see you have logged in an recieved both my previous PMs since we confirmed the trade.

Can you link the appropriate thread for the OP?
Thanks.

Lower rating? You ship first.

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

I've got the original issues here.

Contacted that OP, he said EmpireGeneral8116 was slow, but eventually got things done.

Doesnt matter. It was still an option to leave a negative/neutral to warn others.(like yourself)

It has now been over a month since our original agreement, and over 2 weeks since you stated you were still going to ship.

I now consider this a backout on your part and our trade is null and void. If, when you do recieve this, and you are still interested, contact me and if I still have the items, I will consider reopening the trade. However, I cannot continue to sit on these on the off chance you might someday come through with our trade.

In addition, I am posting a negative reference to your account. I feel this is justified on two grounds 1) You have a prior history of, if not backouts, then exceptionally slow trades. 2) Not only did you not ship when you initially stated that you were, you did not ship the second time when you said you were.

I've posted this in the Backout discussion area, should you wish to follow it further. In the future, before you commence trading again, I hope you budget sufficient time and effort to follow through on your promises.

Nicely done. Very clear in the reasoning and still gives him a chance to make good on the deal.
