Details on the exact dates are a bit fuzzy, but it was sometime in late 1998 or early 1999.
Essentially, we agreed to trade my Virtual Boy for his Contra Hard Corps plus $15.
Virtual Boys at the time were being clearanced for $30 at places like best buy and EB so I figured it was a fair trade.
Well we both said we sent, and he got my stuff in a couple days and thanked me. After a week had gone by without me receiving anything I contacted him to let him know his stuff hadn't arrived and asked if he had a delivery confirmation number or something.
He said he had no DC, but to give it a few more days, and he'd send another copy of the game if I didn't get it. This set off some red flags, right there, but as he already had my stuff there wasn't really anything I could do.
Anyway, after a few more days I reminded him and he said he'd send another copy of the game out. Never heard from him again - he stopped responding to my emails and that was that.
He was a kid at the time, so I couldn't pursue any legal action. Anyway, you probably already know this from the other BTRs that have been filed on this guy, but it's probably a bad idea to trade with him.
A word to the wise - he may currently be living in Simi Valley. A myspace search for "Brad Lowenberg" turned up just one result... http://profile.myspa...
He's about the right age, and Simi Valley isn't such a stretch for someone like him.

On April 16, 2003, Brandon and I compossed a trade of my $5 for his Kirby 64, Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland, and The Legend of Zelda: DX (all boxes and manuals only, no games). I sent the money out that week and awaited for the boxes/manuals to come. About a month passes by and the items did not arrive yet. I e-mailed Brandon and received the answer that he sent out the boxes/manuals a couple days ago. Again, I waited for the items to come. However, nothing arrived so I e-mailed Brandon once again receiving an answer that he has extras of those manuals/boxes and that he will send them to me as soon as possible and will let me know within a week. With no replys from him as the weeks progressed by, I e-mailed him yet again and received no replies from him.
Brandon, please send the boxes and manual (you said it yourself that you had extras, so what would be so hard about that?) or my money back. I did not want to post a BTR on you, but your lack of communication as well as promise led me to do this.
