Still waiting for my stuff from "ME343"... 2+ Months to ship??!?!?-

[ImTheWeasel]

Ok so here's the rundown:

On 8/30/08, I contacted "ME343" in regards to a Gameboy he had FS/FT. We worked out some details and per my PM logs we agreed on a trade on 9/5/08.

I agreed to trade him "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" for his used "GameBoy Advance SP" w/ missing charger"

Now between the dates of "9/6/08 and 9/10/08" I ran into some problems withdrawing money from my new bank account. I finally got that resolved, but to make matters worse my wife was laid off from her job of 5+ years. Money got a bit tight, but i did ship the game out on 9"/12/08".

He then informed me that he would likely not be able to ship the GameBoy until the "First of October". I was fine with that, as i understand busy schedules and all.

On "9/15/08" he informs me that the game had arrived to him. He didnt not bother to mention if he was going to be able to ship the GameBoy any sooner or anything.
He then messages me a short time later, and informs me that the game would not work on his laptop. Apparently his videocard can't handle the graphics needs of the game. I thought surely he would have checked into such a thing before agreeing to trade. I was wrong there. I then offered to work out something else with him since the game didn't work and i didnt feel right asking him to trade the GameBoy for something he couldnt use. I said " Sorry that the game wont run. What else can we work out on this?".

"His response was - "nothing, looks like its time to put the money i have into use".

He then tells me on '9/16/08' that "it will be awhile" on shipping the GameBoy.

I then told him that as long as I got the GameBoy before Nov. 5th; it would be fine. As I was getting the GameBoy for my goddaughter for her b-day on Nov. 5th.

He tells me "Ok i will try to get shipped before november 5th if not it will be around there."

Ok, i guess im ok with that... i have been waiting awhile already for him to ship... so no biggie...

9/16/08 was the last communication i had with him up until 2pm on 9/30/2008. Keep in mind this is now 1 month from the original date i messaged him about this deal...

He also send me the following message on '9/30/08'


"it will be a while i just got suspended from my FD so i gotta come up with money some how"



I proceeded to send him a message asking about the GameBoy and when he might be shipping it;

On '10/11/08'- I get the following repsonse-

"i am not back on mmy fire department yet so it will be a while"

So i send him a message offering to at this point send a cashiers check or MO to pay for the cost of shipping and everything so he could afford to send the GameBoy to me.

Here's the response I got-

"by Santa Claus day it will be shipped"


Ok, so on 10-14-08; he sends me the following message-

"Do the way the economy is right now anything I am going to ship will be shipped Mid-November Early December. Sorry for any inconvenience."


OK...

On 11/09/08 7:14pm CDT; i sent him another message inquiring as to if he had shipped the GameBoy... Which he didnt not...

His response- "soon ok i have been to busy with school to go up to the post office to ship it"


I have not heard anything from him whatsoever since 11/09/08 7:14pm...



I've left a couple of messages but have not heard anything from him.


So, to anyone who is reading this that may be considering a trade with "ME343"; take heed. You may not see it for 6-8++ Weeks....


Perhaps you will have better luck!

If i ever get my GameBoy from "ME343" ill be surprised...


NOTE: "ME343"- Sorry to have to post something like this. I know its never a good thing, but hopefully we can resolve this and move on without any further legal affirmation.

* On the last line there i apparently beefed, thats what i get for typing whilst tired and nodding off. *


Last line should have said;

"NOTE: "ME343"- Sorry to have to post something like this. I know its never a good thing, but hopefully we can resolve this and move on. I just want you to hold up your end of the trade agreement."

 

[ImTheWeasel]

Just an update. I still have not received the GameBoy that he was supposed to ship several times...

Starting to look like im not ever going to get it...

Mistakes....

How old are you?

This looks like a couple of kids arguing back and forth on the playground.....

Live and learn. You're probably never going to see the gameboy.....He has your game. Who knows if it worked for him or not.

Just report it to the site admins here, maybe they'll lock him out. (maybe they'll lock you out)

Geez. people getting killed. The economy collapsing around us and we're reading of a stupid trade about a gameboy and some silly computer game.....

Sorry for venting on this but it's silly....

thats why I never do any trades, I hate trading because of people like this. I never trust anyone. Next time always do a transaction when you have money or the item in your hands

I suppose you think he shouldn't say anything and let others go down the same path with this person that he has. I appreciate the writeup so that I can avoid such people that cannot communicate or make the transaction right (assuming what is written here is true and considering it has gone without rebuttal...). I don't want to hear a peep out of you the next time you are a victim of someone like this.

In reponse to SLWilson.

I'm 25 years old to answer your question.

I had intended on trading the pc game for the GameBoy, as the GameBoy was (had it arrived like was promised) going to be a birthday gift for my goddaughter. Now, when I was repeatedly told that He was kicked off his FD, or whatever other reason, i figured, well surely he'd ship it before Christmas. As you can see, that never happened.

He had PM'd another response to me inquiring when he intended to make good on his end of the deal. His response "Expect a gift either the day before, or day after Christmas".

It's just annoying... Hopefully, nobody else has to deal with this guy.



SLWilson, I have to agree with "alottabull". You really didn't add anything useful to the thread whatsoever, other then the fact that you assume that i'm some whiny kid who didn't get his toy. Thanks for that... In the future, if you read a post and think its silly and stupid. Do us all a favor and keep your opinion to yourself and don't bother being a troll in the thread.

I won't bother posting anything else in regards to this transaction. I'd hate to waste anyone else's time with my "Playground arguements"... :roll:

Live and learn. You're probably never going to see the gameboy?geez that helps alot

Maybe you think its alright for someone to get ripped off and walk away,as for reporting it to an admin no thats why we have a feedback forum.

I have delt with ImTheWeasel before and he's a very honest person and Im glad he's posted a negative feedback on ME343 I would have done the same thing and its also a good warning of who not to deal with plain and simple.

 

[chrismol1]

Just say enough is enough, give me back my game or send me the gameboy ASAP, no excuse for months on not shipping, he probably could have walked it over to your house by then.
I have no tolerance for people that cant ship within a week. its rediculous

Rip off...

I really hope this works out for you.

To the other posters who are glad to know that that there is a member here that isn't quite honest, YES, I'm glad that we know that.

But, a better way of alerting everyone is simply stating the facts. Something like I arranged a trade with Joe Blow. Sent my end of the deal. Joe didn't follow through. He won't answer my posts. The few times he has answered, he's lied about his end of the deal. I still don't have my merchandise. It's been three months now....

Short and simple. Everyone is alerted not to deal with Joe Blow....

I appologize if I upset you. However, I think you could have handled it a little better. I do understand that you're upset about being ripped off, I would be angry too.

I think the majority of posters here are great people and if you trade or buy something from them, the transaction will go fine. But, like in all walks of life, there are bums here too!

No, I don't think that he should be "quiet" about getting ripped off. I just think he could have handled it with a little bit better description. Just the facts. Plain and simple.

As far as being a victim, you won't hear anything out of me in that regard. I won't trade here with anyone that I don't personally know.

What's really funny is you resurrecting a thread that began and ended a year and a half ago.
