Ok guys here's my situation. About three weeks ago Chrstopher Arnel AKA "Liv4luv" contacted about making a trade. I posted a thread on the "Marketplace" section looking for the Apollonia 6 CD in exchange for my extra copy of The Family CD. A Japanese import w/ obi strip. Anyways, I thought about it for a couple days and said OK. He replied and said the way he trades is that we both send it Priority so we can both get it the next day. I send it on a Friday hoping I'd get my CD by Monday. Monday arrives, no CD.I wait till Saturday to contact him about the missing CD. He replies the next day saying that he sent it to the wrong address and actually sent it that past Thursday!! Ok, I give him the benefit of the doubt and wait till Monday. Come Monday, yup no CD. I contact him twice again but so far hasn't replied. I assume now that he had no CD to trade with from the very beginning . If you see this jerk on any of the Marketplace threads be careful he'll probably rip you off as well.

Here's a recent picture of Mr.Arnel:


If you see him on the street walking towards you, spray some Raid on the sidewalk and turn around and call an exterminator because he's a big CD stealing RAT.

You can't link to images on your hard drive e.g. in C:\My Documents or wherever. You need to put the image on the web somewhere, by getting some web space.

poopy-head traders

PhilG said:

No need to apologise mate, I was just trying to be helpful. You can probably get free webspace somewhere, if you need to post images.

Anyway sorry to hear about your bad trade... doesn't someone maintain a "poopyhead list" of bad traders?

PhilG said:

why not just say "hey i ripped you off?" instead of that crap tired excuse "I sent it to the wrong address?" , lawd. Like people send things to the wrong address lol. "Oh I accidentally put a totally different address then the one u gave me"= Im a thief.

Sorry to hear that PhilG. I've traded with orgers here and haven't had any problems. Just don't assume everybody's the same.

ian said:
