OK, it has been two weeks, and I told all of you that I would wait until now to describe my predicament in greater detail. On 2/20 SHRIMPOLI agreed to trade me his Destruction of Nehushtan for my Priests King of Tyrus, and we exchanged addresses. Even though he is a "new member", he had made a lot of posts since he joined in November and I of course considered him trustworthy. I sent him a pm the next day that his card was on its way. On 2/22 he sent me a pm saying that my card would go in the mail the next day. That next day would have been Tuesday, 2/23.
On March 3rd, 8 days after he was supposed to have mailed it, I was growing a little concerned, so I sent a pm saying that the DON had not arrived - please advise. I received no reply. It should be noted, if our time stamps are correct, that the site shows my message being sent at 1:29 pm on March 3rd, and Shrimpoli's profile shows him last active at 4:36 pm on March 3rd.
Two days later (3/5), still having no reply, I sent another message asking if there were any problems and asking what address he had sent the card to. To this date I have never received a word from SHRIMPOLI.
A few days ago I asked all of you if this was "normal", and received mixed responses, but most agreed that the lack of any reply, even now, is "suspect".
So I am asking the following: 1) SHRIMPOLI, if you are out there, PLEASE reply! First off, I pray that you are OK and haven't suffered some kind of trajedy. If you decided not to send the card, or you changed your mind, fine. But in this case please mail me back my KOT. 2) If you are a friend or fellow player of SHRIMPOLI can you please ask him what is going on? 3) Barring a successful resolution to this trade deal, what can be done to "warn" other players out there?
Again, I never wanted to air this "dirty laundry" and/or embarrass anyone, but I felt I had been more than patient. I certainly never expected to be taken advantage of when trading cards from a Bible/Christian-based card game :( Thanks for any help that you can offer.

Hey there,
Just FYI, the same thing happend to me in a lighter sense. I was chatting with Shrimpoli on a deal a while back, and for some reason he stopped responding to my emails as well (probably around the same time he stopped with you). I also was checking his last sign on date, and saw it was recent. We did not agree on any terms yet, but we were discussing until he stopped replying. I hope he is ok as well. Update me, if you get any news.
G-d bless,

I traded with him recently and it took the better part of 2-3 weeks to receive my cards. I imagine if that is the case for everyone than he probably waits till he receives them and then sends them. Odd that he hasn't replied to your PM's though....I would give him another week. It always stinks being busted..
-
As for a warning, I will put it on my trade thread that it is a negative and currently unresolved issue. That is unfortunate that this is going on. :(

Yes I had to wait about a week or to till i got his cards as well.

Just a bump. Still no card or message from Shrimpoli. Anyone know what is going on? Thanks.
-
wow..... >:(
-
wow, yeah, I would say put Shrimpoli on the "send first" list. This is ridiculous. If his account has been active (which it seems it has) and he has not responded, there is no excuse for that.
-
Has this ben resolved yet? Who here knows Shrimpoli in person?
-
Shrimpoli is shown to have been active on March 19. Perhaps stefferweffer should send him a PM.
-
Thanks, but why should another pm be sent? If he logged in on 3/19, he would have seen his messages, right? I guess I can send another one. Just frustrated. Thanks for the advice.
-
just a thought, pm other members and ask if certain members are reliable. that's what i do.
-
Well, that's the main idea behind the various trading references threads. But asking around can't hurt.
I understand your frustration. It isn't likely, but perhaps he missed the last PM.
Maybe I'll send you a DoN sometime. ;)

Yeah, now that ya mention it, I have read all of the replies form EVERY new post, and have mot seen any Posts from him, I thought he was a GREAT trader, so I think he must be having probolams, or something, I will PM him, and ask if he is ok. , I mean, the last time we made a trade, he was making jokes, and everything, Something must be wrong :-[
-
That would not explain why he logged on March 19th without saying anything.

Well, still he has not been talking to me :'( I have asked him what is wrong, if he is feeling OK, etc.

I just think that now we need to move this thread to the prayer forum. Shrimpoli should now constantly be in our prayers. this whole situation to me is just sad. :-[ :'(
