Title: Untrustworthy traders
Post by: Missingkirby34 on January 06, 2013, 10:28:39 PM
Just like the top thread this is a place to post bad trades and or utrusted traders. I'm hoping this will help stop card thieves. I have only had two bad trades so far; I will try to edit this list with the names people give me so that you don't have to search for a name
The two bad expiriences I've had are with

Xbellatrix- just kind of disappeared.

Kuberr- is a deadbeat and (insert profanity here)


Marshin.  Lost my {Entomb}.  And didn't get the {Ulamog, the Infinite Gure} that I've been trying to find for a couple years 

Remasuri ger.  Jacked my {Iona, Shield of Emeria} and didn't send GoJuDragon his cards in our triangle trade.  And it cost me like 3-5 dollars to send it to Germany.

Klybern

Terror00456

Metalmadman

Jfrazz

zw913

{Killabud12} - (Lost a {Bonfire of the Damned} to him, when it was at $50)

{UNDIYINGburrit0} - (Never sent my {Gravecrawler}, small scale but still)

Ripped off a good chunk of high value cards from different people, and was also douche.

Also just to scare these untrustworthy people, some of us take these things more seriously than others and I should probably mention that plugging your mailing address into google maps shows people exactly where you live

Oh, and Ericclay's cards haven't shown up after a couple weeks, but he's PM'd me back about it and I've had a good trade with him before, so I'm not really worried there.  Yet

I just try not to get discouraged from it.  Without trading online, I would barely have any of the older cards I need.  I got a huge chunk of my BW deck through it :P

By the time you add all that it can cost $6-10 to send a card... It would have to be a pretty big trade to make up for that extra cost. Not to mention it doesn't fix the problem of someone receiving the card and just not sending their end, which is how a lot of the people tend to rip you off.

I resent them the 3rd time, the first time the shipping label fell off, the second I wrote the address wrong and because of the holidays it took forever for them to come back, I'm sorry, it will never happen again, and if you want your cards back I understand and mine should be there today or tomorrow. I know it sounds like excuses but the funeral threw me off

This kind of thing has happened before...and based on the value of the cards you can notify the police in their area...but first mail them a letter telling them that it is a possibility because you do have a contract that's written through PM's or wall posts. Elite you wrote a letter last time....but I remember that that person redeemed himself. In the case of kuberr I think he set everyone up and got them to trust him then betrayed that trust.

That's exactly what he did... I had made a few lower value trades with him first just fine along with everyone else. From what I was told by almost all the people. And then he just dissappered. I sent Letters to his mailing address and a mod even called the cops but nothing ever came of it. I even got my letters back unopened.  Made me wonder if that last mailing address was even his own.

There's always going to be scammers. It's not like buying on eBay using PayPal to protect yourself.  Is there an escrow service, or someone here that everyone trusts (like an admin/mod) willingly accept the transaction as a mediator and when both sides received, he/she will mail the proper trade to each other, as a protection barrier?
Title: Re: Untrustworthy traders

Ok so I'm going to place myself on this list for a little bit because I have trades that are "missing" in the mail on my end and some that have not arrived on other people's ends. I'm not going to name names besides myself because I'm not entirely sure if it could be considered them untrusted or our postal system that is untrusted. For all I know it could be someone in MY post office stealing cards :(

For sure!!  I honestly don't trade over $20-$30 (usually) just because I know something could happen in the mailing process.  Wouldn't be the first time!

I think I'm going to start doing this myself as well just because all of the trades that are in question are well over $50... And it seems like every time it happens. First it was Kuberr now it's these. Sadly though those kind of trades are my only hope of getting ahold of dual lands like {underground sea} and such (if they even show up in the mail) my lgs refuses to get such cards in because they think they won't sell at all

Hmmm, I've been waiting since before Christmas for his end.  Granted the envelope I sent got ripped in the mailing and what I sent didn't make it there.  It's suspicious though.  Ive always seen good trades between him and other people though.

I don't know... He just pm'd me letting me know that he's getting my "birthday card" tommrrow an will send Saturday  but when I go to reply app says that it won't send my pm because "user was not found" or w/e

If you ask me, switched names or just left the forum all together seems really really really shady to me... But I've never had a probiblem with him before. I swear if he pulled a Kuberr I'm gonna flip!

I would like to point out that kubber did the same exact thing. He was a trusted trader and had quite a few good trades, then people started having issues with him and his cards not coming in but he would keep in contact saying that he is trying to figure it out and he will send them again or whatever....and then we all know the end to that story. Personally I think it is pretty sad that we even need to have a thread about untrustworthy traders. It just seems like sense the kubber incident happened people have been just ripping other people off left and right. It is rather sad and makes me not really want to trade on here anymore.

He actually lives like 30 mins from me and I have his address. If it gets to the point of you never hear anything from him let me know and I'll pay him a visit.

Please don't do that. It's just asking for trouble, not to mention its intimidation, threatening, and illegal.

Please pm me if you have cards currently in trade with MetalMadMan or have been ripped on by him in recent dealings. Include trade specifics involved and any other relevant info you want to share.  I want to get an idea of how many people and what kind of money we are looking at here. All PMs with me will be kept confidential. Together I will help you all take the proper legal actions. I am texting my lawyer friend immediately to get his advice for everyone.

Thank you, Gorzo.
Going to his house, while seemingly the best course of action, is the worst. It's easily intimidation which can land you in a lot of trouble. Also, we have no way of knowing what kind of guy he is.

But going to his house won't solve anything. It's the police's job, if anyone's. That's what they're trained to do, after all.

Well, this is disturbing news about metalmadman.  I have pretty good size trade in progress with him.  I checked him out before trading with him.  He's on the trusted trader list.  I sent my end of our trade out almost 2 weeks ago.  I pmed him when it had been a week, and he said he hadn't gotten my end yet either, so I just figured the mail was slow.  I pmed him early this am and told him I still had not received.  He pmed me back and said he still hasn't received either, and now his profile is deleted.  Wtf?!?

At one point I was trying to set up a trade with metal madman but I dropped it because he seemed to be pushing high value trades (saying he has foils over regular, asking if I'm sure I don't want the foil, etc.)... And the whole revised booster box thing seemed really strange. I do hope he didn't scam though.

He met with someone who was on here for a short while and bought a $1000-$1500 revised booster box.  They met and everything, but I don't think the other person ever got back on.

Good to know....I hate hearing about good traders getting ripped off. Although it did happen to me. {XBeLLaTriX} was the one I was cheated by, but I'm not bothered by it as much as I was when it first happened. So I hope we can find a way to keep this from happening again.

What choice?

IMtG Law does not have power beyond this forum. If it had, it would be perfectly legal for the victims of this crime to go over his house, take forcefully their cards as restitution and smack his face as retribution.

I'm told the law which governs you says that going over to his house is illegal. Some law.

I've sent a few PMs to people regarding legal stuff. If anyone else needs to know (got ripped off) and did not recieve a pm from me, please send me one and I will send a reply. Thanks.

We do need to focus on ways to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. I'll make a new "making trades safer" thread in suggestions/feedback. I highly encourage input and suggestions from the trading community. I know I speak for all of us mods when I say it really pisses me off to see our community members get screwed over. I don't want it to happen again, you guys don't deserve it.

I think one big way of preventing this is from now any trades that are bigger than like 40 dollars or so needs to have a mod or someone be a middle man. Just a thought.

Couple of suggestions:
If selling cards for cash - post it on eBay. So it can be traced.
Employ middlemen - as per ace's suggestion
Get person to send scans of cards - more as proof they have it.
Draft a contract using a template - something legally binding...

That may be a good idea for large trades ($100+) but for smaller transactions, that would seem like overkill. We also need to keep in mind the ease of trade this forum offers without having to sign a 100 page contract. Of course it will deter the dishonest folks from doing business but it will also discourage casual traders and new people to the forum hoping to get involved. Just my 2¢.

What I mean is, I think there should be some precautions taken for larger trades such as a medium and even mailing with tracking (a pretty cheap option when sending) but I don't feel that it should necessarily be a requirement for small to medium value/sized trades. Either way, I have started to send all my trades with tracking numbers for the traders and my security and confidence in trading. I hope I explained that well enough :)

Agree with you audiophile. It's really up to both parties how comfortable they are with the risk regarding the value of the trade.

I'm pretty sure that they are plenty of good traders out there and these measures were for cases where the trade doesn't feel right.

{Andrew78384} has been long long overdue. He apologized over two weeks ago and stated that he would send out cards that day or the next.

I am putting him up here until the cards arrive or until he responds back.

He received cards from me first and planned to mail out cards on 1/22/13. He then ran into some troubles, and subsequently responded stating he would send out on 1/31/13.

I know he apologized and sent some people their cards back but there were 2 at least that posted saying he never sent their cards back with that kind of background I don't see how u could ever make it onto the trusted traders list.  I voiced my opinion on this a couple of times but people continued trading with him.

http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?topic=19600.0
I recommend removing his address, him being listed here is enough. Everyone named on this thread is a bad egg, that is known. The posting of an address is a little much, especially since it wasn't an extremely high value trade, not saying that even that justifies it or deminishes the fact that you were wronged. I lost a {Bonfire of the Damned} when it was valued at $50, it sucks man, I know 😓 It happens to the best of us.

EDIT: It appears addresses are fair game, sorry about that! Carry on 😁👍

Two months ago, I made a trade with a El Bellfry Toro from Puerto Rico, but at the time, he didn't have the money to send me his end here in the states. So, we both kept our sides of the bargain until he had the money. I waited a month to hear back from him before I messaged him asking if I should just trade with someone else. He said no that he would send the cards once his mom could take him to the post office. Again I waited for two weeks to hear from him, and he said that he would take the cards to the post office the next day. So, I went ahead and finally mailed my side to him.  Last week, he confirmed that he received my cards, but went on to say that he had yet to send my cards but again they would be in the mail the very next day. I still have not received the cards, and I have not heard from him since.  He's at least stayed in touch with me on and off, but I'm beginning to doubt I'll ever get the cards!  I didn't want to completely ruin his reputation by posting here since he seemed to be new, but it's been WAY too long.  If he ever gets me the cards, I will delete this post.

Still nothing... So I am editing what I said before... Even if I finally get my cards, I will not remove this post... Everyone needs to know what to expect from him...
