I worked a trade with "PACIFICFREAK" and shipped the cards he requested. After I shipped them, he "discovered" he already had 2 of the cards in the trade and decided I should send him two other cards as substitutes at my additional expense, then started a dialogue of whining about patch cards he apparently lost in trade which had absolutely nothing to do with me and that he was sure glad he didn't ship to me first?? I would strongly suggest to all my trading friends that you consider making him ship first as a precaution against his inability to honor a trade. And yes, I gave him options- send me the cards he agreed to in the original deal, send mine back and I would eat the cost of shipping the cards to him, and finally just told him to keep the cards I sent him and just go away.
I don't know if there is a lesson to be learned here, but trading cards has its own risks and rewards. To the 300 plus traders out there who I have successfully completed trades with, I have no intention of letting a $60 trade plus shipping ruin my friendship with you all. This is a great forum and there are outstanding people who I've developed relationships throughout the years. To you I say "TRADE AWAY!!" but please beware of "PACIFICFREAK" and his trading habits.
Best to all....Eddie
