I can't recall if I've ever posted one of these before but I'm guessing it's because I never really had to. That's not to say that I've had "bad" or even "meh" trades with people - they've mostly all gone well enough - but this one's exceptional as it started out on the wrong foot.
Andrew advertised that he was selling some much-needed Eldar items for a more than reasonable price. We quickly came to terms and I PayPal'ed him the money. A day or so later I was a bit disappointed to find a PM stating that he had inadvertently shipped my package to someone else and theirs to me. Admittedly, I was a bit suspicious but never let that be known (until now). Assessing the situation I agreed to ship the other package back upon a full refund of my purchase price. Assuming he got "my" stuff back from the other party I would then pay him again, subtracting out the cost of shipping back the erroneous package, the latter which he suggested. Indeed I did receive the erroneously sent package. Indeed he advised me of the receipt of "my" package back from the other party. Indeed did I pay him in full, minus shipping charges. Today I opened the mail box to discovere the originally agreed upon items. Done deal, easy peasy, joy to the world!
The reason I'm posting this is not because I bought an ultra-rare mini or got an amazing deal but that Andrew was a man of his word and, in my opinion, the kind of person that exemplifies what Bartertown is all about. He 'fessed up to a blunder and followed through with everything he said he'd do. Without a single moment's hesitation, I would definitely trade with Andrew again.
