He sent me an e-mail wanting to trade for my copy of SimCity4(PC) and in exchange he would send me Shinobi(PS2) & Contra(PS2). Here is the email I received:

>>Thanks.
>>LMK.
I agreed to do this trade and we also agreed that I would send first since he had more trades completed than I did. So, I boxed up SimCity4 and sent it to him via UPS. I then emailed him with the tracking number: 1Z3326YY0396996938. UPS delivered the package to him on July 22nd. The very next day I get an email from him saying that he deleted the trade. So, I wrote back:

So, I figured something was not right here. He thought I didn't want to do the trade yet he already had the game in his possesion. So, I immediately set the trade back up. I then wrote him, asking if he had received the game. I told him according to UPS they delivered the package to him, to his front door on Tues, July 22nd. I get this response back from him almost a week later:

Ok, so he was busy..understandable. I then receive two emails from GameTZ. One stating that he was trying to delete his account but noticed that there was a pending trade and they wanted to know, from me, what the status was. The other was a notice that he had been reported as a 'Bad Trader' from another user. I replied to the GameTZ moderator explaining to him/her the situation and got a response saying I should file a BTR on him. Before I did I thought I would send one more email asking if he would send my games and also send them with a tracking number. I received a response back saying he would send the games to me on Wednesday, July 30th. On the morning of July 30th I received this email from Peter:

I wrote him and told him thanks for sending the games and also for giving me a tracking number. I told him once I received them I would complete the trade. So, I thought maybe he was busy and in my email I told him I understood his situation being busy and all and that I get pretty busy too. In fact, it took me a week from the time we set the trade up before I actually shipped his game to him because I was busy. However I did email him on the day I shipped the package telling him I was sorry for the delay and gave him the tracking number.
Well, I received his package on Monday, August 4th and inside the package was not the games we agreed on....in fact it wasn't even a game at all....it was a book. So, this is why I'm filing a BTR on Pete Roussev. Please avoid doing any transactions with this user or you'll just end up getting screwed.

In a nutshell, Pete never sent me the games he was supposed to. He proposed a trade of Enter The Matrix (mine) for Black & White and Neverwinter Nights (his), and I mailed him my game on 7/14.
He encouraged me to send him my game first, pretended it never arrived, and cancelled the trade without checking with me first. I can see from the other bad trades that I'm not the first person he's ripped off, but I hope I'll be the last! If he's not a scam artist (though I honestly believe he is after seeing other people's comments), he could send me the games he promised. People like him give trading a bad name and make it hard for legitimate people to get by.
I'm not trying to be a jerk about this, but it's really very frustrating to be taken advantage of. Even if, hypothetically, I misinterpreted the situation, he still cancelled the trade without communicating to me and has been very difficult to deal with. He even claimed that he called the police on me, though it isn't clear what his damages were (remember - I sent the game, he has sent nothing). I would love for him to send me the games as we agreed, but I'm not very hopeful. I encourage you to think very hard and look at all the bad trade reports filed against him before trading.

I will file my own BTR on you if you do not come clean. You have neither a DC number nor insurance to prove that you sent the game and you are a newvie. If he does not take this down and treat me civilly I will file a BTR on him and I will talk to the police in his town. Please don't make me have to do this.
