Solved.. funny how some things work out

i would not disclose the users name just yet, especially with the slant of your post, being slightly accusatory (quite rightly)

it may turn out, hopefully that there is some innocent explanation, i am a one for jumping to conclusions sometimes, and it always nearly bites me on the @R$e!

sometimes people arent on the same wavelength and do silly things like take a vacation in the middle of a trade, or family matters may be rendering them otherwise engaged, as i saw recently in a similar thread

seek out an admin and confide in him as to what the best route to proceed along, and contact the member again, possibly stating that unless contact is made within a reasonable timeframe, that he will receive negative feedback for his troubles.

tricky one that!

^^^ what?!?

over 45 days. and has not responded to pm or email. i would be very concerned. not sure what i would do though. but maybe this thread will do something in your favor.

mybad, i somehow failed to realize it was more than 45 days.

that is a long time. i would still contact an admin here and ask what to do re: naming names etc.

The money's long gone, the headphones as well.

I'm guessing the Head-Fier isn't a very active one? Maybe less than a hundred posts? No feedback?

Never trade cross shipping unless you know the other person already. As far as I'm concerned, if I'm offering something for trade, then your item is payment. When I receive payment, I ship the item.

good question. is he still active on the boards - either logging in or posting.

I think it's perfectly fair to post anything you want about him after 45 days, considering his unresponsiveness.

 

[M0T0XGUY]

This is why trades are so risky. If the guy didn't have sufficient feedback or a solid posting history, you probably shouldn't have dealt with him in the first place; he could have been made to ship first, at the very least.

Hindsight is 20/20.

When was the person last active on Head-Fi?

Have you left appropriate Feedback? It can be changed if things work out.

Have you contacted a Moderator? They should know since you can still be active on Head-Fi through PM’s etc. without actually Posting- They could still be scamming people.

Good Luck and it might be best to out the guy and see what the response is and to warn others.

Actually.. now that i've looked into it it's 2 days away from 2 months

I'll give him a couple of days then i'll be contacting some people i guess

He's got 10 feedbacks and almost 200 posts.. but the last post was early-ish last month. But he does have hundreds of ebay feedbacks and expensive gear so i thought he wouldn't be the type to need to scam

 

[vcoheda]

maybe he is just one of those really bad communicators. i hope it works out.

keep us updated.

 

[amphead]

You can out the rat! If it turns out to be in error, you can edit the remark with "deleted". Right?

 

[The Pieman]

I'd say you have done your dough, unfortunately. I would publish the name. As somebody has already posted, this may save someone else from the same.

cheers
