No reply, although the dates show he has likely seen it.

Shows he knows the payment was received.

No reply to that, but that's understandable because he hasn't logged in on Forums since that date, although he's been on NintendoAGE since then.

And from the PayPal receipt:
Quote:


All I want is an acknowledgment that he sent the package out, and a rough date that it was sent out.  I am pretty sure David wouldn't try to screw me over, but I'm out $266 here.  1/4 of a paycheck.  And if he hasn't sent out, I just want to know why not.  I'm not about to bust his nuts because he can't find the time or money to ship out yet...hell, I've been through it myself, as you well know NGD.  But then, I was straight with you from the get-go.  You never went more than a week without some form of contact from me.  It's been over a month and a half here, and he hasn't said a word to me.

Incidently, what sealed game does he owe Dain?  There's a few that are due to me, and I want to make sure that there's no funny shit going on. (EDIT: I found out from Dain himself...not one of the ones pending to me)

Wizard,just wanted to know if you got in touch with hounder yet.
I also wanted to add that I`ve traded with him 1 or 2 times and he seemed to be a very nice guy so I don`t think he`s trying to screw you.
Did you pay through paypal?

If you paid with your credit card you can still file a claim.
I did it around a year ago when paypal wouldn`t refund my money,I got the total refunded (around 330$).
I wouldn`t recommend it for small amounts because it`s a lot of phone calls and faxes to get your money back.
As I mentioned,I`m sure he`ll get in touch with you but it`s still good to know you have that option.

It would be a shame if he's turned into an idiot due to some kind of personal problems.  I seem to remember I had good dealings with him in the past, but I can't remember for certain if we ever traded or sold anything together.

This has always bugged me, so I figured I would finally post about it.  Speedy, you apologizing for posting what you did in the above message annoyed me a bit more that I usually get in regards to this.  If you have had a bad transaction with someone (if you honestly feel it's legitimate) post about it!  If you know something they did in the past that was pretty shady, and think a newcomer who you see is about to do a rather large or significant transaction with them and you feel they should know about it, I really don't see why some people have such a problem with it being brought up. 

It's great if they cleaned up their act after they were caught doing whatever they were doing, but it's frustrating as anything when someone says 'Hey, just so you know this guy was caught doing _____ x number of years ago.  After it was all said and done, he made up for what he did, blah blah blah.' and is suddenly blasted by a few people with comments like 'Dude, that's old news and doesn't need to be brought up, stop trying to create trouble.' 

Now, in the same token I'm not a fan of people popping in to slam and flame anyone; warning everyone never to deal with them and trying to cause a ruckus.  But that's quite a bit different than explaining a situation that happened just to inform someone new and unaware.  I don't think I have a problem with anyone on this board and have never had a rude or crude comment made towards a member ( Not even metalzone if anyone remembers him ) but I do know that I like to stay informed about what people have done and how trades and sales go amongst members.  I don't like to see people apprehensive about making a comment about a member (that's based on facts) because they feel either they are going to get flamed in return or 'hushed' because whatever it was was in the past and doesn't matter anymore.

Sorry to rant and jack the thread a little bit...as far as Hounder goes, I have never had a chance to trade with him.  I have heard a lot of positive things about him, but also a negative here and there on this and a few other forums.

He disappeared just like he did a few months back.  I bet he'll be back, the only question is how soon.

Come back, Hounder!

Just gave that a try and yeilded no relivant results, so hopefully he is ok at least.  Maybe I should try to call him or something>>>>
