Hey, I was wondering if you'd split out a few of these games from the bundle. I have been collecting 7800 games for the past year and only need about 10 more for a complete set. You have a few of the ones I haven't picked up yet:
Ikari Warrior - CIB
Ninja Golf - CIB
Summer Games - CIB
Winter Games - CIB
Let me know if you'd be up for parting out these in a small separate lot for me. I'm happy to make a fair PayPal offer or you can look over my trade list here - viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4855&p=37863#p37863
Thanks!

That works paypal fee's are around 3% so it would be $3.90 for the fee's
My paypal is [email protected]
Also send me a PM here with your shipping address after you send payment. I sell a lot on ebay so please send a PM so I know when to look up the transaction.

I never heard back from you on this. Is the deal we arranged still good to go?
I got no replies to any of these last messages, though he read them shortly after being sent.
The problem is that, while this was all going on he was also hedging his bets on selling stuff on eBay and sold a few games including some of the stuff we'd negotiated: http://www.ebay.com/csc/mkg6900/m.html? ... te=1&rt=nc He also has more of the games we negotiated up for sale now on the site.
I sent him a PM asking for an explanation just now, but don't expect much. I'm inclined to give him a -1 just for doing something pretty shitty to someone from the forums. Thoughts?
