Trade that didn't happen - kenarm79 - 09-29-2011
I've been off the boards for a little while (schooling). I thought I'd post about a item that someone was suppose to send me, but never sent in a trade that's now selling on the bay
This is one of the reasons why I tend to be hesitant when trading. I'm one of the lucky ones, because I didn't loose anything. It's kinda sad to see it listed because it was something that I really wanted. The guy that was trading it was in Canada. I guess someone in Taiwan has it now, lol. Oh well.

Not completely the same but somewhat similarly, a few months back I won an auction for a Classics Rodman/Pippen prime patch card numbered to 25, for an absolute steal. I never received it and when I asked for it I got an immediate refund. That's great of course, but it was somewhat fishy. I imagine the seller was pissed off getting a low value on the card and just didn't send it. I'm waiting for it to appear on the Bay again..

lol it happens, both were/are good players... but im pretty sure derrick rose is going to shine a bit brighter. Might not be as controversial though!

I sold a Bryant Finest RC BGS 9 for about $20 not too long ago. I then had a guy email me after the auction ended wanting a shot at it.
I turned him down and shipped to the winner of the auction. He was offering $15 more than the final price. It was hard to turn down, but karma always gets me back when I do something dishonest with my cards.

That happen to me with a LeBron auto. I won it for a VERY good price. The seller refused to send it to me after I paid. Come to find out he did the same thing to a few other buyers and Ebay kicked him off.

Here on Beckett.
He made the offer and then backed out after ACCEPTING my counter offer to his original offer. Then a couple of days later he sent a message saying that he got another offer on the card he was suppose to send me in our trade. He stated that it was an offer he couldn't refuse.
He had traded the card to me already, how did you get another offer unless you were shopping the card that you had already traded to me?
Watch out for this guy, IMO he is a shady trader that others have contacted me about similiar issues with him since I made this post.
The offer was almost too good and he pressured me to send quickly and when I didn't, that is when he backed out. I never saw the card and I wouldn't be suprised if he never actually had it.
Did you guys see the threads he posted asking how to shill bid before the mods deleted them???
That alone made me want to recieve my end before I shipped to him. I hope someone reads this and feels the same.
Shaqeats that- it is called integrity and honesty and I hope that you find both at some point in your life.
