starsky backout

So, here's the complete log, minus a couple double-sends, I believe. Basically, a slow trade that eventually petered out with no communication from their end.

Thu Nov 17, 2011 3:37 pm

Hi!


I'm from Portugal and I'm interested in the following:

Misc PP Models (*=no card, for models with cards, remind me if you want the card with the model)
• min Scattergunner unit (unassembled)*
• Grissel (primed(?))*
• damaged Borka (no pyg), good for bits, etc., would take some GS work to salvage a complete model (would of course give you a good deal)*
• min devil dogs (stripped well IIRC)

•Bits (I will split these up, give a decent offer and any of them are yours. I will include any for free in a large enough trade):
-- Trollkin Warrior leader’s axe, Trollkin champion flasks x2


TROLLS mkii cards: Casters: Calandra; Beasts: Pyre, Slag, Axer, Bouncer, Impaler x2, Winter, Blitzer x2, Mauler x2, Earthborn (w/ light crease- will give away with anything traded/bought if you ask)


I have the following to trade:

Chaos bits
-1 of each chaos terminator combi weapons
Have lots of blood angels wings from honor guard (don't remember the name)

PP:
• Junk models: failed conversions, models missing arms, and the like: I’m looking for cheap models to turn in to labor jacks or conscripts for the RPG: I’d want pics, and would expect them to go for less.
Cygnar:
Have some old trenchers (part painted red/black)
Mercs & Minions:
•*** Saxon Orrick ***
•steelhead halberdiers (just leader and 1 grunt)

I can provide pics, and also hope you can provide pics on the trollblood stuff (mainly borka)!
hope you are interested


cheers

Hi, the borka model may be spoken for already (I swear, this always happens: stuff sits around for 6 months, then 2 people jump on it at the same time). I'm going to send that guy pics tonight, and, if he doesn't want borka/doesn't make an offer I like, I'll let you know.

the scattergunners are new (unassembled, I may still have the box); grissel is well cleaned and primed (IIRC the scarf was separate for painting). Let me know if you still want pics.

I'm definitely interested in orrick and the pair of halberdiers. I might be interested in the trenchers- what are they (which type, and if Tr Infantry, new or old; also, how many?)

Sorry, not interested in the blood angel wing sets (I think they're a bit gaudy, I'm looking at doing a Lamenters army, and they seem a little more dour than standard Blood Angels), but may be interested in other Blood Angels pieces if you have them.


Thanks,
~nick

Hi!


The trenchers are Mk1 and is the old box (so I believe is the min. unit), I used them to play in my Magnus Warband, but i decided long ago that I don't now how to play with them... so I don't mind parting with these guys

as for blood angels bits I only have the wings, since I am a space wolves player...


those wings were for some dark eldar conversions of the simple warrior into scourges.

also tell me the devil dogs are they still available???

cheers

Hi, sorry it took a while to get back to you.

I could do grissel and borka for the steelhead leader & grunt, orrick, and the combi weapons-- I realized that I already have plenty of trenchers left to paint (a commando unit, a few solos, 3(?) artillery pieces, etc...)

Borka's condition:
basically, the body was mangled, so I needed to buy a replacement. There would be a bit of work you'd need to do to clean up the seams where the forearms meet the biceps/elbows, and IIRC one set of knuckle spikes were filed down. Basically, it would just take a bit of greenstuff work; I just decided that I liked the Kiltlifter mini as a proxy, so I didn't feel like taking the time to clean up Borka. The pieces other than the body were stripped decently. If you need pics, I can take those later in this week.

Let me know if that sounds good to you.

Thanks

Mon Nov 21, 2011 7:34 pm

that sounds great

but I will need some photos on Borka

I also have 1 minion Victor Pendrake, 1 Merc Gorman di Wulf and 1 Ogrun Bokur to trade (I was looking for my models to see the trenchers, unfortunatly still haven't find them )

and what about the rest of the stuff???
the scattergunners and the devildogs???

cheers

Sorry, I dunno where my camera card is, hopefully I'll finally find it today!

Best,

Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:48 pm

no problem, I'm waiting for those pics

also would ned some info on the units


cheers

Hi, sorry it took so long (the card was under the keyboard :/).






Here's a pic. It's in a little worse condition than I thought it was (the mace hand is in three pieces w/ a pin running between).

Re: units, the scattergunners are as they were in the box, minus the box (which I may still have around here, if you really want it).

IIRC, the devil dogs are unassembled and either stripped or unpainted.

I already have at least one of each of the models you listed in addition, so I'm not likely to pick those up unless I decide on some new project, but if you have any 40k stuff (marines, maybe stuff from any army other than eldar or tau) I might be able to work something out.

Thanks,
~Nick

Sun Nov 27, 2011 8:15 am

I have 1 box of assault termies, they are on sprue but the box is without shrinkwrap


cheers
Pedro

Sun Nov 27, 2011 4:45 pm

Hi, I could add that for the scattergunners.

Thanks,
~Nick

Mon Nov 28, 2011 8:46 pm

...thoughts?

Thanks,
~Nick

Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:14 pm

ok, what about the devil dogs???

I have 2 high elves white lions (the cat, not the unit) from the chariot set...
would you be interested in these???

I'm very interested in the devil dogs min unit also

and of possible the mk2 troll cards

cheers
pedro

Mon Nov 28, 2011 9:54 pm

Hi, sorry, the lions aren't worth a lot to me. I'm not sure if you mean just the cards I listed, or the deck-- I don't have the deck, but I'd trade all of my spare troll and minion cards for the lions.

If you want to buy the devil dogs off of me, I could do that for $25 US.

Thanks,
~Nick

Tue Nov 29, 2011 3:23 pm

Hi, that looks right.

So, a couple questions-

First, do you mind shipping first, given the difference in our references?

Second, I might be wrong, but I thought I remember you being from somewhere outside of the United States? Either way, I'll be out of town from around Christmas through the new year, so I'd want to be sure that your end arrived before I left, and depending on the timing, I'm not positive that I could send mine before the new year (alternatively, it's fine if we both wait 'til next year, I just don't want a package sitting outside for a week or two).

Also, I checked: Grissel is unassembled and unprimed.

Thanks,
~Nick

Tue Nov 29, 2011 3:27 pm

Ok, it is probably better to wait 'till the new year, and given our rating differences I'll send first

cheers
pedro

Tue Nov 29, 2011 3:33 pm

One other question, I'll pay you in january and please send the package with a declared value of $25 (in case it will be stuck in customs)


cheers
pedro

Tue Nov 29, 2011 3:59 pm

Okay, as long as you send it at a rate that comes around the first week of January, you can send it whenever you'd like.

Also, re: the declared value, I'm not sure what you're asking? I haven't had the best luck with the USPS, so I insure any packages worth more than around $15. I'm fine declaring the value as less, but I won't take any responsibility if the package goes missing.

Also, my info:

xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx

And can I get your address?

Thanks,
~Nick

Wed Nov 30, 2011 1:34 am

I'm ok with taking responsability for the value if missing, but i always send my stuff with a tracking number

I'll try to send you the stuff around the 19th, and I'll send you the tracking number through here


cheers
Pedro

Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:14 pm

Oh, also, can I get your address?

Thanks,

thanks, logged in my records, and looking forward to seeing those minis.

Mon Jan 02, 2012 12:05 pm

Hi, just checking in, now that I'm back in town-- is everything still good/are you still ready to go through w/ the trade?

Thanks,
~Nick

Tue Jan 03, 2012 4:16 am

Yup, but I had a car accident and although I'm not the one to blame I don't have no one to testify the accident, so I'll have to pay my part (the other woman's insurance company won't accept that the accident happened), so I'm stuck with a $300 bill I'll have to pay


sorry for not telling you this earlier, but my life was a bit messy this last few days (since december 10th)

I'm asking you to postpone this deal till the 20th of january (my paycheck arrive that day and I'll be able to get the rope from my neck once again)

also understand if you want to cancel this trade altoghether, I didn't kept my promise, even if not by my fault.

once again sorry for not getting to you earlier, and sorry for the delay in resolving the trade


cheers
Pedro

Tue Jan 03, 2012 11:12 am

Ouch! Sorry to hear that-- I hope you weren't hurt.

I'm fine waiting a while for the trade (and no worries about the delay, holidays are always a tough time to try to coordinate anything), it sucks that that happened...

Best,
~Nick

Sat Jan 21, 2012 10:03 am

Hi, just checking to see how things are going.

Thanks,
~Nick

Mon Jan 30, 2012 12:36 pm

Poke, poke?

Fri Feb 10, 2012 12:21 pm

I've waited as patiently as I can, and I think more than reasonable.

I see you've been on the site. I'm not sure what's up. This would be my second backout report in my whole time on the site, and I'd rather we just make a trade...

Thanks,
~Nick
