Transaction Feedback - Totals - Updated July 4, 2020

[Mechblue]

+1 mechblue. Was kind enough to disassemble one of his disabled PS2s so that I could replace the DVD tray and bezel on my own ghetto PS2. Shipped the item very quickly and even gave me advice on how to install it. Awesome guy, recommended.

Now to get that SoM from him...

+1 Lodestar - very quick payment and friendly.

[seanami]

Edit:
Just taking flack, so removing this. I guess its ok to publicly mock someone over $1 in bartering before a deal is done if you have long term feedback. Just going to move to other sites to trade.

Can't say it was a pleasant experience, wouldn't buy again.

Ouch.

bought a Sega Sports DC Controller from me, very cool customer

Ouch.

Likewise, it would be dandy for all to see the goofy crap I had to respond to. I pretty much covered it when I gave seanami a +1 a few pages back. I'm confident in saying that I'm always cool to anyone I'm doing business with and the only two negative experiences involved customers with strange, well, customs. I took extra trips to the PO and repackaged a Master System to try and save this guy money and yet it wasn't pleasant. Whatever.

Edit: I just looked through the messages and I have no idea where this notion of "unpleasant" comes from. I take pride in being friendly, fair, and accomodating... so naturally I'm going to get a bit defensive when someone leaves a comment such as Seanami has done. And hopefully my 20something other positive and successful sales experiences are worth more around here than the word of one person. And at that, a person who seemed to feel obligated to free merchandise because the shipping cost to send a Master System from CT to GA was 10.12, that's crazy.

*I'm kind of offended by this

I think it is important for the community to take note of this. I had a positive experience w/seanami, positive in that he paid for the games. However, I did get an abrupt "...are these carts broken." pm the day they arrived, when I explained what I thought it was (he was new to the system he was using) he got the games working just fine. I don't know that he is a bad buyer / trader, but polite communication is warranted...until it isn't.

I think I am like you optmus, if we've done something wrong as sellers/traders, maybe a game got damaged in shipping, maybe we sent the wrong game, etc, sometimes things happen. The old "you'll catch more flies w/honey than you do w/vinegar" logic applies. Politely PM (privately) and describe the problem. It is tough to get intent across in a PM, so sometimes you may want to go overboard w/the politeness, particularly if it is through no fault of the seller. I think the vast majority of us in the b/s/t on racket are more than happy to fix a problem, it is all in the way it is brought to our attention. I recently had a minor issue, the guy messaged politely, I sent him $5 to cover the concern, and no hard feelings.

I don't think your rep is damaged in anyway optmus, I know i've had to seemless transactions with you. Good luck and keep on truckin'.

I have no idea what went on -- nor do I think my opinion should weigh any heavier than anyone else's here -- but I've dealt with optimus and it has been nothing short of awesome. In fact, I was bummed I missed out on the DC Sports Controller.

Thanks you guys, that's the stuff I'm used to around here. Y'see, I sold Seanami an untested Master System w/ 2 Controllers for 12 bucks. There was no mystery as to it's untestedness, it was mentioned in front of the price on my FS thread and it was discussed a bit in our PM's. Basically I'm 100% confused as to where the source of this "unpleasant"ness is. I was friendly and polite and as I mentioned I tried to save him a buck or two by attempting to pack it lighter. It took me a week or so to actually make it to the PO due to work hours keeping me busy passed the PO's hours of business. Within that week he asked if I could "throw in" a case and manual and he suggested that that would be an alternative to me getting the shipping cost down. Naturally, I declined because you just don't ask strangers for free stuff and make it out as if you're doing them a favor, or whatever. That was a confusing couple of PMs. I, without shame, poked fun of that situation (without using names tho) in a bump of my FS thread. Because if you ask me, it's funny that someone would say "don't worry about saving me money, just give me something for free" as if the shipping cost (of 10.12) is my doing. He then bowed out of the deal, I replied saying that "it's funny no matter how you slice it.. ...i'm sorry that sort of thing is a deal breaker for you". Seanami then bought it from me. After Seanami received the package I got a PM saying that it was received, feedback is being left for me, and it would be appreciated if I also left feedback. Well I didn't find any feedback but left a +1 for Seanami anyway and explained the oddness of there not being any feedback from Seanami. A week later Seanami leaves that feedback and here we are. I never even got to find out if the Master System works or not. But yea, that's the story and I super appreciate the good faith from those that have dealt with me before.
