I will be honest with you all - I started a trade with this user and I feel that I am scammed or have been scammed.
I will post the whole back and forth you make of it what you will.... (all Emails are below)
I should have had my items almost a week ago and he blames USPS for being SLow - The tracking number that he gives me is still showing that it was Electronicly received on the 16th and no updates since then - I would tend to assume he filled for a Online postage to get a valid tracking number and never dropped the box off at the post office - hence 10 days later - still being in the system as only ELECTRONICLY RECEIVED.
My items were receieed by Him - or his cousin (read on to see) on the 17th as promiced.
I advise until I can clarify if this is massively delayed as due to a real ERROR or mis-communication - that all people avoid this BST user until my trade has been completed or until I have confirmed that I have been officially scammed.
I have Stared out all personal information as this might still be an error but I wanted to get what has been going on, out there, so you all can give me what you think is going on

Still showing as only electronically received. - hence package is not even dropped off yet - I dont care if the USPS were on vacation for a week - Nothing takes this long to get here. Even Alaska gets here in 7 - 10 days.
I assume this scam is completed...
I am 99.9% sure that I am not going to get my items...
I did say you have till the weekend to prove me wrong... That leaves tomorrow and Monday - IF I Dont have my items on my door step Monday afternoon - latest - I will be leaving negative feedback and perusing to get my items back.
Thanks

HAHA, it amazes me how much untrust there is on the internet. Your items were sent out as I said. Its not my fault that snail mail is slow. Things do happen, packages get lost, mis-directed, accepted and claimed they werent. DO NOT THREATEN ME. If you keep up this shit, I will also leave negative feedback on the forums. If the package comes back for an address error, youll be lucky if I sent it out again. As for negative feedback on the forums, it doesnt matter, I live in west Virginia, not Texas, you sent the package to my nephews house. It was a present for him. My package would have been coming out of Beckley, and going to you. Did you ever think that I did send it out as promised? That maybe there WAS really an error either with addresses, or on the postal side? Youre so quick to accuse me of error or fraud. Ive got other names on the forums I can sell under, so Im not worried about getting a negative remark. Keep pissing me off.

You received your Products from me (parcel Post) and I still have nothing.
I guess I was scammed...
Thank you very much for your professionalism.
I appreciate a deal working out the way it should. (all sarcasm and frustration)
If I dont have my end of the trade by weeks end I will be leaving negative feedback on the forums (and you will never do anything in the BST threads again) and I will be initializing a Fraud Complaint.
AS of January 23rd

Dude,
The Deal we made was that I was sending Parcel - due to size and weight and you were supposed to send priority We were also supposed to ship at the same time. From my tracking number you can see my package was in Texas as of the 17th - and the tracking number you gave me is still just INFORMATION RECEIVED - hence you have not sent it to the post office yet. This was a supposed to be a cross trade - not a Wait for mine to get to you then I get mine. I should have had my package days ago and I am sitting here with my thumb up my ass since I cannot use my Xbox with the broken DVD drive still and my chip for my other Xbox isn't here yet either. I am quite disappointed in this trade. If my package is not here in the next couple of days I am going to have to add you to my bad references and I dont want to have to do that. I have a ton of great references and have done a ton of trades on X-S - if from my references you still think I was gonna scam you - you should have told me upfront that you were not going to adhere to the rules of our trade and I would have went elsewhere. I am quite disappointed. Where is my package at?

I can get this out to you tomorrow. I will ship as you ask, flat rate with confirmation. I will send you the tracking when I ship it out. I dont need a charger, but I could use the extra batteries, if you want, I can throw in the spider chip. Or the Xbit. The batteries are selling for $15 each at best buy. Let me know if this is alright.

You have a deal then....
I will need your information..... Where to ship - I can get it out tomorrow - But I expect a CROSS TRADE - as I expect you to ship at the same time. If tomorrow is not good for you - let me know what day is and I will get it out that day. I will be shipping Parcel/First class with confirmation. Since your package is a lot heaver and a lot bigger it is going to cost me more to ship - which is fine - I have no issue with that - I just ask that you ship mine in a Flat rate box $8.10 w/ confirmation.
If we have a deal - Send me your info and a good day to do this and we will get started

I will do the sammy and x3 for your power brick and guitar. I do have an xbit chip and a spider chip, I dont know the current functionality of them, as I dont do hard mods, they are usually something a customer brought in and I talked them into a softmod.

I think the Items you are interested in Vs what IM interested in are about fair for trade.
Thats the best I can do for now.
I'd change my trade for just the X3 and DVD drive (sammy) only if my current trade offer is unbalanced, but I really could use a second chip (even if you have a working used X2.3, 2.6 whatever).
Let me know

The prices are a little high on your end. The X3 retails @ $60, The X2.6 retails @ $40, and the Drives about $40.
Your power brick shouldnt be more than $50, and the guitar no more than $50. Can you make me a better offer?
