I tried and tried to straighten this out without calling you a liar and a cheat but "Screamatron82" aka Lucas has cheated me and taken advantage of me. if you check my feedback you will see nothing but sold positive feedback every other transaction on Seibertron has been awesome. and my ebay user name: xtheirongiantx (100% positive)
So I contacted Lucas and let him know about the MP starscream i had and skywarp. he wanted both of them in exchange for the shockwave and a G1 devastator. I'm not stupid (well i thought) i got him to take screen shots with the conversations we were having via email in the picture to confirm that they did exist. Because to me the trade was too good. i even talked to him on his home phone and it put me at ease that a kind person with a love for transformers like myself wouldn't screw over someone like himself. We talked about G1 and Masterpiece series and how his MP Megatron had a beat up box. I'm not too worried about perfect boxes because all of my stuff sits on shelves for display. So i told him i would trade him both Skywarp and Starscream and give him my perfect MP Megatron box. Trying to be a nice guy and surprise a fellow fan i threw in a mini starscream toy i had MOSC and a starscream shirt i had that i never wear.
we both sent items with delivery confirmation and i insured my package for $250. he recieved the package and complained about starscreams fingers being missing. I KNEW i packaged him in bubble wrap in perfect condition. I now think it was a weird way to make me feel guilty and him not to feel so bad for what was about to come in the mail to me.
what came in the mail was a box....light as a feather. inside. his beat up MP Megatron box and at this point i wasn't expecting anything else in there. but there was a Shockwave in box. but nothing else, no Devastator in sight. From the posting above he noted shocwave to be MISB. this could be further from the truth. the plastic on the front was busted and the box was open. instructions have been used and when i pulled him out the Decepticon sticker on his chest was worse off than my own out of box shockwave.
At this point i was freaking out i frantically called him and after a email and a couple calls he called me back. I have been nothing but nice this whole time even after. His explination was that he was MISB and that when packaging him at USPS they "forced" him to open him to show he wasn't a real gun. Now i don't believe this at all. a big purple space gun....uhhhh. ok. and if you had a MISB shockwave i wouldn't let anyone open it. i would rather not ship it than that. so i said ok because i wanted to see what the deal was about devistator. he claimed that he had to mail him in a separate box then the next day it "mysteriously" showed up back in his mail and he was mailing it again.
NOW he won't answer my calls won't return my emails that i'm sure he reads. his mom even picks up the phone at his house.
Sorry for boring anyone but i wanted you to know be safe. I took a chance and got burnt.
so now i leave you with these words from my friend jazz:
"Into the ocean, let's be daring! The last one in, is a rusty herring!"
