I traded with Mike once. In the middle of our trade I recieved a computer virus! I was down for 3 months. Unfortunately I had no way of contacting him. He jumped the gun, and thought I was ripping him off. He scored my list as being rated as # 1. After I came back and made things right, he scored me as a # 3. Ironically, I still have yet to recieved the disks he sent. I have never bothered to ask him to replace them.
Response: Well, I guess I need to defend myself on this one:
First of all,I don't think 4 & a half months of no contact "jumping the Gun". Second, when he did contact me I apoligized, & retracted what I said. I think Tim was mad because I only gave him a 3. I just figured if it was me & I had outstanding trades. I would have used my friends computer or something to let people know what was going on.
And finally, I did send him the discs, & since I didn't hear from him I had know way of knowing that he never received them. By the time we squared away the trade, He didn't need that show anymore, I didn't have anything else he wanted ( he trades shn only, I don't) & most importantly since I ended up just downloading the show from him, there was no out of pocket expense for him so I figured we were even.
This is a prime example of why in trading, the most important thing is: comunication,comunication,comunication!!
