jbwelda Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 >Also one more question before i take a break, can you get in legal trouble for a trade gone bad? not likely, do you know what lawyers get per hour? but you should do all you can to rectify any situation that is in limbo. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/24DragAndStreetCars Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Anoyomous... is mad at me because i got in trouble and my privlages of my computer and my tablet were taken away from me, and didnt respond also, it was the day of that confronting so my nerves were boiling... i feel like my respons wa a little harsh, and also since i sent a package because of a mix up it was in a location a few states away so it would take awhile, especially because of all the holidays around this time. How do you think i could fix thi trade? Send a little more with what i owe him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 How do you think i could fix thi trade? Send a little more with what i owe him? That's what I do with my trades.... I seem to take a long time, so once we've figured out who gets what, I'll say, "Wait until you get my package to send yours, okay? It might take a while... Anything you might like that I could throw in the box with it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Joseph, take care of yourself and your family. That stuff comes first and you have a lot on your plate for a young guy. But when things are tense, this is a great place to get away from life's troubles. So please do check in, read the threads and you'll feel a little better!

dimaxion Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Joseph ; Yes , I see you were on this Model Site here this AM at 7:57 . I am the offended party . You've failed to mention how during this miserable trade , started in October , your shortcomings complicated things . . Yes , I made a mistake and sent your parts to someone else . You were quick to point the error of my ways . You wanted to have your parts NOW . All three of us Agreed to send the other parties the corrected parts . The other trader did immediately sent yuou yours . His grandmother was reimbursed as we all agreed . As would your grandmother have been reimbursed . You got yours .. he , the other Trader and innocent party DID NOT . He is still lacking as am I . This is a trade gone BAD . Two Victims and you Bow Out ? Claiming to worry about Legal Consequences ? All the while wanting to trade via Personal Email ? Really , let us see how long this takes you to fix this . I do understand Illness as a matter of fact . How about my Daily 1/4 Mile Hikes with my Walker to our Postal Box to find the package you promise to have sent for me to find this Posting here ? The Fact you are creating a BAD Trader Reputation by these actions is a concept lost to you . . Trading with you .. NO THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagedragcrazy Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 well said john i too was aware of this bad trade i know both parties involved and can say that john you are an upstanding trader on this board and won't mention the other name as he is not a member here but i have traded many times with him and have never had a problem. i to had a trade going with joseph and after we made the deal he pulled a disappearing act on me thankfully i never sent anything and i won't be either. vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 If that's all true, adapt to the idea that if you're foreseeing problems with shipping, tell the other party to wait for your package first. I can understand the impulse of "gimme," but when people start getting fed up with waiting for their packages, you'll see why you should send yours first. It's way worth the wait. I hope everything goes well with everyone, and have a good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Never trade with a 12 year old. He backed out of a deal I was trying to set up. Glad it never happened. Maybe this board needs to set up age limits on members somehow. Don't know if that is even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a sidenote, he dropped off the radar in the middle of a trade a while ago with me, as well. He said he was busy at the time, and I had no idea how old he was then. He seemed to be fine until he just disappeared and didn't follow up on the trade... I've since made other arrangements for the vehicle in question.

Quick GMC Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 He's 12, give the kid a break. If you're trading with a 12 year old and expect it to go smooth, that's on you. It sounds like he's trying to get some stuff worked out. There definitely should be some age guidelines though, to protect both parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagedragcrazy Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 i have traded and gave away a lot of stuff here and have always got a thank you only one deal went a little rough but was taken care of and have no hard feelings it was made right by a kid. vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmaxfan Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I personally don't by part of 1/24dragandstreercars story I think he needs to be held accountable and made to rectify his bad trade with dimaxion before he can make another trade so shame on you 1/24dragandstreetcars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
