He initiated trade for my Bonfire on July 19, as of today - 8/20 I still have no cards. Communication is spotty at best, just read the thread below. I'm in Austin, he is in Richardson. I literally could have walked the 200 miles there by now and I walk slowly.

--- 7/19-7/22 we go back and forth, he wants bonfire offers up Jitte, I want unhinged land and mention he needs to ship first---

rabidmonkeys    Also I see a few other things in interested in, is there anything else in my binder u have your eye on? Secondly since you have only 1 feedback i need you to send first    22 Jul

chaines51    i can ship first, that's not a problem. also, my tradelist was/is out of date. i went through and tried to clear everything off of it that I no longer have, so if you can still even this trade up that'd be great    22 Jul
chaines51    otherwise, we'll see what we can do    22 Jul

rabidmonkeys    Do you happen to have any unhinged lands?    23 Jul

chaines51    All but islands.    24 Jul

rabidmonkeys    Perfect. I'm looking for forests and plains to round out my set. What do u value them at?    24 Jul

chaines51    $4, on average    25 Jul
chaines51    for both    25 Jul
chaines51    I only have like, 4 plains, and 7 forests    25 Jul

rabidmonkeys    g    25 Jul
rabidmonkeys    great ill take them in this trade too if you can find stuff to balance them with.    25 Jul
rabidmonkeys    i also have Zendikar full arts if you are in the market there as well.    25 Jul

--- FIVE DAYS OF NO COMMUNICATION ---

rabidmonkeys    any word on this?    30 Jul

--- SIX DAYS OF NO COMMUNICATION ---
rabidmonkeys    I need to cancel this because I'm getting a ton of interest on that bonfire, unless I hear back from you by wednesday midnight I'll be cancelling.    31 Jul

--- 2 days later, 8 days of NO COMMUNICATION, he responds ---
chaines51    alright, my bad I've been away for a couple days.    02 Aug
chaines51    umm... I don't really see anything else I need from you, but I'm willing to trade 9 of the basics, which adds up to $36 if you want to do that. I'll throw in the revenge of the hunted if you'd like.    02 Aug
chaines51    Actually, I'll even do 10, which would be 4 plains and 6 forests    02 Aug

--- I'm get home vacation, but get back to him the day i get home ---
rabidmonkeys    No worries, I just got back too. I'll do 7 forests + 4 plains and the revenge if you want to do it. I can hold on to the bonfire otherwise, it's only going up and trading down for lands is already against my better judgement. I'm assuming they are all NM?    06 Aug

--- Trade accepted 8/6 via the tool - but he doesn't send the cards ---
chaines51    That seems fine by me.    06 Aug
chaines51    and yes, they're all near mind    06 Aug
chaines51    mint*    06 Aug

--- 3  more days  NO COMMUNICATION ---
rabidmonkeys    What's going on with this? did you send on the 6th? it's been 3 days and i havent heard anything    09 Aug

--- 4  more days  NO COMMUNICATION ---
rabidmonkeys    Hello? I need to know if you've sent this.    10 Aug

--- 5 days after acceptance he responds, says he shipped 8/11 ---
chaines51    My apologies, I haven't been on in a while. I'll send them tomorrow, life got in the way    11 Aug
chaines51    Rather, today    11 Aug

--- Wants to know if I've sent, even though we've clearly talked about this  ---
chaines51    I'm curious as to whether or not you've sent your card. I'm in need of it fairly soon.    13 Aug

--- I remind him of our conversation ---
rabidmonkeys    Nope as I said on July 22, I required you to send first since you only have 1 feedback and you said not a problem.    14 Aug
chaines51    that's fine Forgot we ahd that conversation    14 Aug

--- The last straw, 32 days after initiation. 14 days after acceptance, 9 days after the second time he should've sent them I am still cardless ---
rabidmonkeys    I still don't have your cards, on the 6th we agreed on the trade. It's now the 20th - 2 full weeks later. You've said before you sent them, then said you would send them on August 11 (9 days ago) If your cards ever actually arrive, ill be refusing delivery and you're getting negative feedback. It never EVER takes 14 days to ship cards. especially not within texas, when you are literally only 200 miles away.     20 Aug

--- Still no cards. Aug 22 ---

BTW - He was last seen online, Aug 21. So beware. He is still ignoring my communications (+ everyone else) and won't respond. I also changed it from "sketchy" to "bad" in the title.

Zero communication, except to make excuses. He sent his cards long after he received mine, claimed to be in the hospital but was still on line multiple times (I too was in the hospital during this trade, I also travel weekly to Houston from Austin, and I wrecked my car - yet I found time to make good on the deal). He then claimed he sent it, another week goes by and I have no card. I finally get the card almost 3 weeks after I sent mine and the envelope shows that he STILL didn't send it for another 6 days after he said he did, the second time.

The best part? ZERO packaging. Not even a penny sleeve. It was a small trade <$10 but this is bullshit. The sulfur falls he sent has a crease in the top (i'm guessing from a sorting machine or something?) because he is too lazy to put any type of protection on the card, meanwhile I of course sent in a penny sleeve, in a toploader, taped at the top.

He refuses to make good on the deal, or even accept my cards and finish the deal (which means I cannot give him negative feedback...) - which I know he received, and won't respond to any of my communications - via email or PM here.

Stay away from this lazy loser.

Details:

• Trade started on 4/23 - then crickets.

• I ask on 5/7 if he is still interested. He says yes, accepts the deal. Says he is going to send. I send as well.

• I send on 5/8.

• On 5/10 I see he still hasn't sent the cards. I say "please tell me you've sent these"

• 5/11 - he replies "Sorry I was in the hospital for a couple of days and just put the card in the mail."

• 5/12 - he updates DB and says he sent cards - I know based on tracking he received my cards by this time.

• 5/22 - I finally get the card, per my wife's message - but I'm in houston and don't see the actual card for a week - The post mark is 5/15 (four more days after he says he sent the second time.)

• 5/29 - I reply and tell him the card is damaged, because he didn't send it with protection - I hear nothing.

• 6/2 - I try emailing him - no response.

• 6/9 - final bad trader warning before I post. I say I'll give him 24 hours to hear back. Nothing.

• Today. Fed up with my damaged sulfur falls. Almost 2 months from the start of the trade.
