i don't think clay is a real bad trader but obviously we have unfinished business that has been avoided from his end for too long.
here's the story...
Clay and I made a trade last spring involving his game gear games and some accessories in exchange for my oddworld and resident evil: director's cut (psx)
my end of the trade appeared to have been lost in the mail so i replaced it with metal gear solid, tekken 2, and a psx multi-tap. i express-posted this to him to have the deal done and to make up for the postal problems. all was done until....
...a little while later, the original package showed up at his door also, apparently delayed by an error by the post office. i told him to play the games and we'd work something out in the future on the extra stuff he now had.
we had talked from time to time, but in the fall i wrote to request that he just return metal gear solid and tekken 2. he agreed and said that he shipped on september 22nd. a few weeks passed so i e-mailed him to see what was up. he said it must've been lost and i said we should give it a month anyway, in case it was misrouted like my package was. a couple months passed. his e-mail was down again and he was reformatting his pc but said he was going home for the holidays and would get back to me after that. nothing.
i wrote him again in february and was told that he just had to get his metal gear solid back from whoever had it and would get back to me. nothing.
i wrote again on march 11th and i was told that the friend of his that had his metal gear solid was dropping it off and he'd mail it asap.
here, i was told that he had mailed it a few months earlier and now his friend has it. hmmm...
i've heard nothing back from him since so here i am now. luckily, i still have all of the e-mails saved here. this has been a small, nagging issue for too long and the misinformation in his e-mails is disturbing after having gone through them all..
i have e-mails to confirm this all.
this report will come down when the games really do get mailed and arrive...hopefully that will be soon.
btw, the games are all still listed on his available list.....

james and i made a deal at the end of january involving my gran turismo 2, wcw nitro, and some wrestling action figures in exchange for his dC memory card, beavis and butthead tv talkers and $25 USD.
the talkers and memory card arrived in good time, but the $25 was absent from the package. i e-mailed him to see what was up with that and was told he was a little low on cash and he would send it in a couple weeks. this was no problem for me so i shipped out his stuff, which he recieved.
a few weeks passed so i wrote to see what was going on with the cash. i was told he was getting some paypal money and he'd send later that week. cool. not cool...nothing showed for a few more weeks so i wrote once again to see what was happening. no reply. i caught him in chat and he said he got the e-mail and disappeared. i wrote again to find out. still no reply. it's now been several weeks and i have gotten no feedback from him at all in regards to the money so i guess i need to post this.
i'll take this down when the money shows up. here's my address for reference:

some communication would have prevented this report. i tend to be a very patient and understanding trader. it doesn't help that he has so many pending deals made since that involve cash on his part.
UPDATE
today, april 17th, i've decided to edit the ratings i gave him when i expected he would hold up his end and ship the cash. seeing as how he is logging on often again, he is obviously aware of this and has taken no action to correct it. it's too bad since half the deal showed up in great time and he has only lagged poorly on the cash part of it with no explanation or e-mails.
