Since trust has been lost to ThatoneguyJoey and his other account Drummerboy, I'd reccomend that both parties involved take timestamped pictures of cards. It's the safest way to prevent a huge scam from happening again.

We should hold off on the accusation of Drummerboy being a puppet account until there is stronger evidence.  There are approximately 1000 registered members that have never made a single post.

As for ThatoneguyJoey, if you are having troubles dealing with things, I suggest you take care of that which is most important first.  If you have family issues, then perhaps new trades should be put on the backburner until you can at least deal with the trades to which you have already committed.

Sometimes mail can be slow.  I get that.  But if you are arranging new trades before sending promised trades out, it will not look very favorably to you.  I hope that people's orders are in the mail as we speak and that they will be getting them in a reasonable amount of time.

People here are just trying to protect others from possible scams, so sometimes things can get a little defensive.  Let's all just take a deep breath, and sort things out calmly.

It's not only that, but they are never on both at the same time, he has traded multiple times before according to him (he keeps them on the DL supposedly) and has been the only one to complete a trade with Joey, and apparently talks to him. What I'm saying is where there's smoke there is fire.

I also think it is a bit too much of a conicidence but dont be too hasty. I try some New traders right now for example {Nillawafers} ( i would trade her my sliverdeck because i Trust her that much) and if you say we can't trust them because they dont have enough post we will just have a few people trading and will Never get more traders
I might exaggerat this a Bit too much but it Could happen

Hey guys,

If you look at joeys post where he was accused, he replied and his response seemed legitimate to me, keep your cool and give him some time...losing a family member is very tough on someone especially if they were close...I'll quote his response here.

Look guys first off I'm very sorry if all of you are thinking I'm an untrustworthy person. I have a lot of 💩 going on with me and my family these past 2 weeks, but I assure you that all of you will receive your cards just be patient and let me deal with 💩 first

Mind the swears. TY.

But I also believe {cltrn81} also makes a good point about the $300 trade.

However, I believe you should still give him some time to get everything sorted out.

My condolences to you, Joey.

I hope We are wrong but it doesn't feel that way. I guess I lost a good card then.

I hope so too. He said to me he sent mine. So I'll be expecting it fairly soon.

Thanks {remasuri ger} :) It means a lot.

I was really worried about this trading stuff because cards are valuable, we all know this. And I am new to the crowd (soon to hopefully boast two satisfied traders) but if there is any advice I have to give it would be to talk things through. If you are going to make a huge trade somewhere down the line, first start smaller (if possible) to build up a relationship or trust.

Sure postage is expensive, but not as much as trust. :)

Also he did send this.

I sent every single card to every single person. I read that the USPS is on strike in California and that is slowing a bunch of 💩

Censored by me but if any Cali users know about a strike, please do tell.

NillaWafers

My little sister at USC hasn't heard about it. And the Internet says the last strike they had was in '97. :/

Richardalcala

I do believe in karma. It will come back around. He must need the cards more than me. I hope he enjoies the free plain walkers.

Runningtables

The cards i sent him were delivered on saturday march 17th @2:31pm according to my tracking number so if they are striking they still are delivering the mail. And according to him he sent out cards for me on tuesday march 13th so they should be out of cali. They should be in my mail box already but they are not.

Through a little googling. I can say with 99.999999999% certainty that thatoneguyjoey and drummer boy are one in the same. No doubt remains in my mind anyway.

Still sour about giving my cards away.
