SCF baseball traders February 2011 trading thread

[Spiegel83]

Just got a PM from marcjack. He, too, is leaving as of 3/1. We're losing people instead of gaining. March is going to bring changes, as you'll see on Monday.

Some people leaving, so hopefully we can get some new blood in moving forward.

Usually when a get a package I'm happy. But out of nowhere, I got my package from hippieman today. As his custom, the cards were just tossed in a bubble mailer...

[hippieman556]

i sent the cards to everyone i trade with due to a disablity i am not always going to be able to get to the post office on time but i still want to trade just be glad you get your cards and enjoy the hobby

Hippieman: PM sent. Just need to know if you're still in for March and beyond.

Alright this is getting a little ridiculous, hippieman556. For months I have sat by idly and watched my fellow collectors have trouble with you. I know you are disabled, but my compassion has run out. I don't know if this is the right place to air this dirty laundry but I am going to do it anyways. I am only speaking for myself here but I think that some of the other traders in this group have just about had it too. I have had absolutely no problems trading with anybody in this group. Both times I have traded with you, there have been some pretty major issues.

First, your communication is terrible. Even if you can't make it to the PO more often, at least have the common decency to let the other trader what the heck it going on. You don't even return messages to the leader of this group or even the moderators.

I understand that you have a disability but sending a PM takes no effort but sitting in front of the computer and typing a message to a fellow HUMAN BEING that shares the LOVE of the hobby with YOU.

Second, you obviously don't know how to package cards correctly. Both times I have gotten cards from you, they have been badly damaged. By now, you must have a stack of snap cases, toploaders, and team bags sitting around that you refuse to use. NOBODY wants to receive damaged cards in the mail! Next time, when you trade with me (or anybody else), just go ahead and throw the cards in the trash and save yourself the trouble of sending them through the mail. ALL of the cards I got from you today went straight in to the trash can!

Third, You must really have a set of brass balls. After hearing nothing from you the whole month, and due to your reputation, I cancelled the trade on Monday February 22nd. You obviously disregarded this action and sent my lot to me on Wednesday February 24th (according to the USPS mailing label). I got them today damaged. I left you a neutral feedback because of the packaging (or lack thereof) and left a post above that says you will get your lot "when I get around to it". Maybe that was not the road to take but I am human and my frustration level had hit the limit.

You then had the audacity to leave a neutral feedback and tarnish my otherwise sparkling trading reputation saying I never sent your cards. YOU ARE A MUST SEND FIRST TRADER!!! I've been ripped off before by sending cards to a MSF trader before I received my part of the trade and I learned my lesson the hard way. There is no way I am risking sending cards to you with no guarantee I am getting anything in return.

I don't know if I am going to send a return package now. It would be the right thing to do. But since according to you, I never sent anything, so that might be where I leave it.

BTW, I am ready for March's match-ups! Hopefully everybody gets great cards!
