You overestimate how many people they give mod powers over there. I can assure you, he can only edit his own posts.

It's the same guy. The forums were updated at some point, and that messed a lot of stuff up. It might have changed there.

Either way it crushes his argument. It's the same postal system. It's hard to claim the post office aided in 35 consecutive smooth trades, then, try to explain how the post office is totally screwed up and you have now lost items over ten times in a row. Either his post office is fine and he's really had 35 good trades,or; it's all screwed up and none of the last ten are his fault. Both can't be true.

Here's a kaxel_voffer update

He just sent me this email

"Listen Greg I'm not really one of those [ethnic slur]. I live in Mexico because I'm retired and living with a women HALF my age. I scam people because i have nothing else to do. So I'm gonna say L O L to you. Because no one believes you that's why I'm not on the bad traders list! You pansy muffin I know how to scam people and get away with it! Greettings! LOL"

if anyone has been ripped off by this guy, send me any information you have. I'll need your name,contact information, a log of the conversation if possible, and the dates to submit a report. I have no intentions of stopping until I can rest knowing someone's big mouth landed them in prison over a star wars toy. Oh and Kaxel, I'd keep your reason for being arrested to yourself. That won't go over well in the prison showers in Mexico.

Greetings......

I have a new hobby now and it's you. You can thank your mouth for this.

[edit - swinefeld]

Who knows what the Law is for Jail bait in the Mex, lol. If the postal service is as Funky as people claim, then Im even more sure that the Law is just as.....funky. (as in stinks, not as in groovy)
Notice there is no Defense on the other end? once he read that Email he sent to Greg, he hasnt been on.

Ok I hate to put anything here, but I would like to warn anyone trying to work out a trade with revandarth. He and I were working out a trade and he had posted that he would trade trade his AT-AT for Cad Bane. I agreed to that and then he began to complain and make excuses about the shipping charges. He continued to make excuses over the next week and finally the trade offer ended with no deal sealed. Just be prepared to have a "fun" experience working out any deal with him.

i feel your pain. I made a trade with Kaxel over three years ago. It resulted in me sending the same mini twice and it costing me cash versus having an extra mini. I cannot say whether I was being scammed or the postal service in Mexico sucks. I will say that I will never trade again with anyone in Mexico or further south. I have had the same problems sending to Brazil.

Commenting on an issue:



cicrush13 discussed the circumstances with me in more detail before posting the above, and revandarth also contacted me and provided bloomails.



In response to revandarth's post:

1) Whether or not someone has the piece listed in their trades is not really relevant. (see below)
I understand the concern for protecting yourself, but keep in mind you were negotiating with the #1 trader (by a wide margin) on the GTL here.

2) This is correct - per the guidelines the trade was not finalized. cicrush13 acknowledges that, and therefore after he and I talked, he did not request a +1 BTL for a canceled trade.

3) I didn't see any bullying going on. A bit of frustration that the deal fell through at the last minute probably, but not bullying.



After reviewing the bloomails, I don't really understand why this trade wasn't completed. Everything was pretty well worked out, though revandarth was asking about the possibility of an in-person trade, which cicrush13 responded to asking where he was located, without follow up by revandarth.

revandarth's communication could have been better. I think if he was having second thoughts about the trade he should have just came right out and said so, rather than let the negotiations get as far as they did. In the end, there was no confirmation of the deal, so I won't be taking any action on this.

Address exchange has to be what finalizes the deal. There just isn't another way that wouldn't result in a Pandora's box of issues cropping up. At the same time, I'm not thrilled to see it functioning as an 11th-hour technicality that relieves traders from responsibility in an otherwise fully negotiated trade. And I'm not referring to this trade specifically, as there is another similar situation I will comment on soon.

This is where posting an issue here without calling for a bad trade reference comes into play. It's a heads-up for other traders, and a reminder to all to be diligent in communicating and to negotiate trades in good faith. And of course, both parties can give their story. Having said that, this isn't a place to post any little irritation you feel over how a particular deal goes down. You can alway contact me first. I'm here to help any way I can.

On a side note, Kaxel Vofer is gone (I've already suspended him, and an IP ban request, assuming he can be pinpointed, will be going to Shinja shortly).

Let's get back to having fun trading

One more bad trader mark for Kaxel Vofer, but since he is already banned it seems I am late.

I believe its 3 weeks within US and 9 weeks outside. SF should be able to clear this up.
