I too received some killer goods from Hobie's pilgrimage to the Land of the Rising Sun. Specifically a boxed copy of Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie in great shape, and Raiden Project. Items arrived super quick and were packed cautiously. A all the way!

absolutely HATE to leave negative feedback. I hate it. I know that shit happens in real life. And I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I'm not really sure how patient I SHOULD be.
The sitch:
1/21 -- Mephikun PM's ME offering up Little Big Planet PSP. I sort of want it. But he wants like 2 games and shipping for it. I say nah. And he offers it up for 1 game (Kingdom Hearts GBA) as a straight trade, so I figure what the hell. Because of his low feedback, etc he agrees that it's fair that he ships out first. He says he'll ship it "tomorrow [Saturday] or Sunday."
2/2 -- I get a PM from him that says "Sorry I haven't shipped it out, I haven't really been able to make it to the post office."
2/6 -- I get a PM from him that says "I'm so sorry, I haven't been able to get to the post office."
2/11 -- I get a PM from him that says "I promise I'll get it to you soon. I can't drive and I haven't been able to get to the post office."
And that was the last time he logged in. I did send him a PM on 2/25 giving him the chance to just back out, but like I said he hasn't even logged on since 2/11, so at this point I just assume that I'm waiting on nothing. Of course I didn't really lose anything, other than a possible trade on a GBA cart. But obviously this is just poor trading practice. So like I said, I'm just not sure how else to respond to this?

What? Okay, yes, it has been a while. I hadn't logged in because I was busy, and I couldn't find a game. Which I stated that I could not find it. Now my chances of selling are 1/1000. Great.

But that game is being offered in your new B/S/T thread?

Yeah, I found it two days ago.

Then don't you think you should reoffer it to him? It only seems fair, and would probably knock that -1 off your rating.

Hiked all the way to Japan to get me a N64 Hori controller. Always great to deal with and of course Highly recommended.

I am a bit concerned about his fiending like a crackhead for the Hori mini N64 controller, but payment was quick so maybe we just watch and make sure an intervention isn't needed.
