I'm making my experience with this guy public so that nobody else has to deal with this BS! He & i accepted a trade on July 2nd & also on July 6th...so there are 2 pending trades. The first trade was my 01-02 UD Young Guns Pavel Datsyuk for his 07-08 UD Young Guns Patrick Kane & 09-10 UD Young Guns Matt Duchene. After receiving my Datsyuk he hesitated in trading both cards as my Datsytuk had a chip in the top border edge. This was noted before i shipped & he agreed! Once he saw the chip...we talked & i told him to just keep the Duchene & only send the Kane. He agreed & thanked me for that. I didn't want to do that at first because he knew about the chip & we talked about it on several occasions before i shipped...but i wanted to keep a good record here at Beckett & with fellow traders so i said to keep the Duchene. I shipped on July 6th & he received the Datsyuk on the 18th, he marked it as recieved & left feedback for the first trade to me.

While that trade was "shipping"..we agreed to a 2nd trade. This was for my 06-07 The Cup Scripted Swatches Ilya Kovalchuk 4/25 & my 08-09 The Cup Scripted Swatches James Neal 15/25 because he was looking for patch cards. He was to trade to me his 11-12 UD Young Guns Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, an 07-08 UD Young Guns Carey Price, & an 09-10 ITG H&P Game-Used Emblem Black Scott Glennie /6. He was to hold the Patrick Kane for the first trade until the 2nd trade was received so he could ship all 4 cards on his end at one time! This was agreed officially on July 14th. I shipped out on July 17th & he received the cards on July 27th....marked on his end the cards being received, & his cards for both trade "shipped" on his end the same day on July 27th!

Well...it's now August 27th & i still haven't received any cards from Mr. Dave Perkins (Rookieaholic2nd)..which is sad for many reasons! (1) He's had many trades on Beckett...i think around 57 or so according to his profile. So he should definitely know what he's doing! (2) The Beckett invoice for trades clearly has my address on it, so there should be no excuse for "i got your address wrong", or anything like that!. (3) He mentioned family heath issues (whether that is true or not has no bearing on why it's taking so long) & didn't actually ship on the 27th...that it was like 4 or 5 days later. Even still..it only took me 10 days for my cards to ship to him at the cheapest way to Canada..which he requested! (4) He's a member on the Cloutsnchara site & has done a trade with a member there in the same month he & i had our trades going on here...& that guy on CnC he traded with lives in Texas too, as i do, & he got his cards in roughly 2 weeks! (5) I've traded with Doug8788 on here & he lives in Canada too...i got my trade from him in exactly 1 week! & his shipping cost on the package was $2.15! He's still awaiting my card to arrive...which should be there soon! (6) When Dave & i were first working out our trades...he kept in great contact with me, just about every day. Ever since he "supposedly" shipped his cards off, his communication has been nothing short of SUB-PAR & PATHETIC! He logs in here & to Cloutsnchara..only to avoid contacting me (well..he's had one or two very short messages to me) & the site moderators for other trades he has going on there that people are waiting on him as well.

Several times i've asked Dave to ship my cards back to me with a tracking #, which he has acknowledged & supposedly agreed to that he should do that. I also have stated to him that if the cards i traded for did actually make it here that i would send back the cards i trade to him. He should know i can hold up my end of the bargain..as he's received them!

I hated that it had to come to this! This trade has been rediculous! Every once in a while it might take a week longer than expected to ship from Canada..but when he's had another trade go to Texas & that guy got his...i declare Shenanigans! If my cards can get to you in 10 days...it shuldn't take 3 weeks or more to get back to me...even at Canada's slowest shipping!

I'm making this known to you all, fellow traders & site moderators! Dave Perkins...i want my cards back. You have ruined any chance of us ever trading again! I won't accept any excuses, as there shouldn't be any! I have the right to state my opinion on this ordeal. This is one message that won't be avoided. Hopefully none of you guys have to experience an almost 2 month long trading session, only to get nothing out of it!

I only ask you, Dave, to make things right! If you can...maybe you can change my mind about you. As of now it's not thinking highly of you!
