This is my first AO/pbn trade..
I worked out a deal with adrenaline_junkie (AIM acnt. AOadrenaline) in which i traded a very expensive mech mag and an egg2 for his stock speed demon w/ faulty feed neck.
He was a nice guy, worked things out well and has decent feedback (here on AO). So i trusted him and sent out my marker the following morning (he agreed to do the same). He didn't. He got my gun on monday and promised he would ship his. Forgot my address so i gave it to him so that he could ship on tuesday. Alls OK, simple mistake. He didn't ship it on tuesday. so i badger him quite a bit more and on wednesday night he finally gave me something to rely on; He had given the package to his father to deliver during his errands. He Promised it was next day shipping. More than likely USPS. Great!
No, not really. Next day I have NO marker. Day after that I have NO marker. Now i try to contact him, through PM, email, AND AIM. NO reply, NOWHERE to be found for the past two days. Beforehand he was ALWAYS online. The guyEasy Boy! No cursing here please! disappeared. What do I do?? He's probably an honest guy, just a bit irresponsible.. but he either screwed up somewhere or lied to me. One of the two.
In respect for him I don't wish to give out his real name OR his address, but i might eventually if disappointment persists. What would you guys do in this situation?? Be patient? Be ticked off?
This is BIG, HUGE, money for me.. the rest of my money went into books for college. I can't afford to be screwed over. I'm probably too quick to conclusions, but d**nit I want answers!!
Thanks for your time, guys..
