Backout - Sekai

Post by Vuoripeikko »

On Friday, May 31, I contacted Sekai in hopes of trading a Necron army for a Sisters of Battle army. The haggling part went well and the trade was agreed, but he had to back out due to unforeseen circumstances. He was very enjoyable to work with, but the unfortunate ending left me a bit disappointed. I posted the BO as agreed.

Hey guys, recently got a Sisters of Battle Army in a trade, just not overly interested in doing them that much, so here it is:

HQ:
Saint Celestine
Cannoness x 3
One of which is a OOP model
Inquisiter

Troops:
19 sisters with bolters
1 with Banner Pole
1 with sacrilum Imperialis
1 sister w multimelta
1 with heavy flamer
1 w storm bolter
1 w flamer
3 sister superiors
3 immolaters

Fast
Seraphim:
4 w bolters
3 w flamer pistols
4 superiors

Elites
Sisters repentia
8 repenta
1 repentia mistress

Heavys
1 Exorcist

Looking to swap for an army of the same approximate value.

Heyup, what's the retail of your army?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

According to GW's prices, give or take around 660 dollars.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I see, I have around 500 USD necron army lying around, would you be interested in death-bringing robots?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Shipping to Finland would take a big chunk of cash. Would need to think about it

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I did a quick check on our local post office and postal fees to the US for a package that weights less than 2kg costs about 31 euros to ship. (about 40 USD)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

This is close to going over 2kg, if it isn't over. Remember, everything is metal.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The next price region is under 5kg and the price increases by 10 euros. (So about 50 - 53 USD)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Will need to think about it. Was hoping to trade/sell these in the USA.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

All right, I'll hope to hear from you soon. I do have a small possibility coming up too - my parents are going to visit Canada this summer and they will be there for two weeks, so they could possibly bring them along if I asked them. I don't mind sending and paying the postal fees from here.

What all do you have for Necrons, and are you willing to add 50% of the difference in paypal? (That'll give me some money to ship the box out to you.)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sure, I can pay some of the difference in costs to cover your shipping costs. Here's what I have:
Necron Codex (Worn)

2 Necron Overlords (Primed white, both have magnetic arm to swap around a resurrection orb, warscythin')
1 Destroyer Overlord (Finecast + Destroyer body, primed white, warscythin')
1 Trazyn the Infinite (Finecast, primed white)
2 Crypteks (Primed white, one kitbashed out of a warrior body, other made from an old praetorian)

20 Necron Warriors (Painted, can strip before shipping, they all have their green beam plastic pieces not glued yet.)
10 Necron Immortals (Primed white, 5 of them are made from warriors holding immortal weapons)
5 Deathmarks (Primed white)
5 Lychguard (Slightly assembled, their legs and warscythes have been put together, but nothing else has been cut out of the sprue)
3 Canoptek Wraiths (Painted, can be strip before shipping, 2 have whips while 1 has a pistol)
2 Canoptek Scarabs (Conversions)

2 Annihilation Barge / Command Barge (One primed white, one painted, can be strip, both have weapons unglued, can choose between the small gun and the big gun / transport)
1 Ghost Ark (Primed white, lacks the necrons from inside)

And a big bag of bits for every of these models, including necron arms, guns, scarabs, old metal scarabs, wraith parts, few necron warrior bodies etc etc etc...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I've decided to do Necrons, so I'm currently debating between this offer and another.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

All right. Could you send me pictures of your sisters, by the way? I'd like to take a gander at them. :)

All the infantry will be stripped.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Good lookin' sisters :3 I can also strip my models before I send them. How's your other trade offer coming along?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

No response in a while, so let's continue the discussion a bit, bud.

Now, the biggest problem I have trading with you is the zero feedback. I'm a bit nervous doing overseas trading with zero feedback, but you seem like a pretty cool guy.

The way it usually works is the person with the lower feedback ships first. Are you willing to ship first, if we decide to do this deal?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hehe, yeah, I haven't managed to get too many trades going and those which I did I made at another forum for our country. :D But I visit Bartertown pretty regurlarly and my email gets notifications whenever I get PM's, so if something goes amiss, I should be easily reachable. I can throw out my skype name too, since it starts automatically whenever I log onto my computer~

I can ship first, that's not a big deal, but what about the difference? Obviously I'll send it via Paypal, but is it included in "ship first" or should I pay it later when you're going to ship?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Whatever you are comfortable with. As long as I have the money before the box goes out.

I'll be shipping in a medium priority flat rate box, so my side will get there in 5-8 days according to my post office.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Our postal office said that shipping to US from Finland takes from one week to two weeks at max, but I don't have much experience for packages. I've sent a dozen of hard letters (TCG trading and WoWTCG cards inside) and they've taken about a week or less.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As long as you aren't shipping Parcel or whatever the cheapest is. I made that mistake shipping to Norway, took nearly a month and a half to get there.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Could I get some pictures of the painted stuff?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

We've only got two options at our countrys postal office, postal parcel and postal express parcel. The normal parcel costs the price which I told you (2 - 5kg, 50 - 53 USD) and takes around 6 - 14 days according to the postal office. The express parcel costs twice (2 - 5kg, up to 110USD) and estimated shipping is in 2 - 8 days. Both are equally tracked and can be insured, if need be.

I doubt the plastic necrons will weight over 2kg however, so the cost for shipping with the normal postal parcel is cheaper. (approx. 35USD~) This is obviously for my side of shipping, but I thought you' like to know.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I'll get you pictures as soon as I get home, hehe :D

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Alright bud, let's do this deal.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Just a moment, I'll send you pictures tomorrow when I get home :3

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

What time is it now for you?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It is 7PM on Sunday here at Finland.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Can't wait to check out those pictures. I'm sure I wont need you to strip them.

Just woke up and you gave me a morning chuckle :D I'm not a great painter so... Maaaaybe.

I'll send you the pictures asap, it's been a bit hectic.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Okay, as a warning. Something came up and I'm suddenly in need of money, I may need to withdraw our deal if things don't go my way tomorrow.. I really don't want to, trust me, but I need to get some money.

Any chance you could do money? 310 dollars shipped is all I'd ask.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Unfortunately I can't really do a money deal. It'd leave me with an army I wouldn't play much and as a student, I'm not carrying that much money at the moment :(

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SEKAI XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Argh, damn it man. If you want to put me up as a back-out, I'll accept it graciously, I'm really very sorry for having to cancel our deals. I actually had to message two people on ebay and have them cancel my bids as well for this, and I have to call miniature market here in a bit to cancel an order I had made.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VUORIPEIKKO XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Oh well, I suppose my attempts in getting a sisters / inquisition army is going to be delayed. I'll post up a back-out, but so far it's been pleasant so I'll mention that~ I wish you luck with your current situation, maybe we can trade in the future :3

Not denying this. I had to back out for financial reasons.
