BTR- Fenrisnorth aka E Van Note - Resolved

Post by thurston »

This is a BTR for Fenrisnorth. Trade message is detailed below. Breaksdown to I paid $205 to Mr. Van Note to acquire and then paint models for me. It has now been in excess of 45 days with no news of shipping, no pictures, or any other proof he has followed through. I hate to do this, but I suppose this is the alternative I am left with.

So, I don't have any Skorne models, but I can paint some if you like. I am a very good and speedy painter. If you paypal me the money, I can buy them off of discountgamesstore.com and paint them in a week, to your exact specifications.

I'd ask for cost+25% for painting and S&H

If that's something you would be interested in, I can send examples of my painting,

Hi BT -

Looking to start playing Warmachine/Hordes. I'm not a painter just a gamer. As such I'm looking to get some table top quality or better Skorne models, though I could be persuaded into a different faction if you have a beautiful army that you want to sell for a decent price. Don't need all my wants but I'd like enough to make a decent 35 pt list at least.

Models I'd like:

Makeda 3
Xerxis
PMorghoul

Bronzeback
Gladiator
Savage
Brute
Malik Karn
Archidon
Krea
Shaman

Cataphract units
Beast Handlers
Task Master
Gatorman Posse
Marketh

Yes I think so. I was able to trade some old Warhammer models for Carver Arkadius and some NiB War Hogs and a Road Hog.

So what I still need would be:

2x Slaughterhouses
2x Bone Grinders (max)
4x Razorboars
2x Gorax
2x Gun Boars
Targ

Can you tell how much that would cost me? Thanks.

Great thanks. I'm going to scale back a bit for this first purchase. So for now, I'd like 2 min units of brigands, gun boar, 2x razorboar, 2x slaughterhouses, and perhaps Saxon Orrik. Also, would you be open to painting the Road and War Hogs I just traded for? If so, I'll pay extra.

Does what I have listed work for under $200? Thank you!

I would just like them painted up the way they look on PP's website, with a light brown front arc on the base. Thanks! I should be getting in the other pigs I got in trade soon. Once I see their condition, are you still open to me comissioning you to paint the rest in the same style?

Hey, giving you an update on the piggies. We are built and the skin has been painted. I'd be a little further along, but we had two people quit recently.

I'm hoping to get the metal and leather done tomorrow morning.

Further updates as events warrant.

Hey man, been almost 3 weeks since I heard anything. What's up? Don't want to have to do it, but I'm considering filing a complaint with PayPal and a bad trader report. 200$ might not be a lot to you, but it's a good deal of money to me, so I expect better comes than this.

Hey Eric,

What's going on? I am assuming you didn't ship on Saturday as I never heard from you. Please let me know when I can expect a tracking number. Here's my address in case you needs it again.

Richard Palmer
12204 S 73rd Ave
Papillion, NE 68046

I will be filing with Paypal soon because I believe I only have 60 days to file. Would like to avoid this. Thanks!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx END OF TRANSMISSIONS xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


So i am unable to file with paypal because those 60 days are actually only 45. so i've waited too long. Hoping this is just the case of bad communication as others have seen, but i'm not holding my breath. I don't have facebook, so any help would be appreciated. thanks!

So I contacted Eric today by calling his work. He actually answered himself. We talked for a minute and promised to get the models in the mail Monday, even though he hasn't completed painting them. I plan to follow up to ensure this happens.

At this time, I would like to point out that this is one of the reasons I ALWAYS advise that people not do business with non-advertising painters on Bartertown. With Advertisers, we require them to prove that they're reputable. "Joe Trader" has not gone through the same vetting process as someone who we allow to advertise here.
Although one or 2 might get through the cracks every now and then, the overwhelming majority of transactions with them are very positive.

Called again yesterday and spoke with his boss. Long story short, she agreed to pass along my message and assured me that Eric probably had a good reason, that he's a good worker, but she couldn't do anything besides send along the message. Today I got an eCheck from PayPal from him for the full amount. Once it clears in 3 days, I will update that this has been resolved.

Well, it's a shame you hit the point where you felt that was necessary. Kudos to you for having the balls to follow through, though. Too many times, I've seen people just take the loss, rather than play hardball.
