    I traded a $50 BB gift card for cash, modem, and floppy drive

    Cross-traded on May 8, 2002 AnandTech

    I gave him a neutral rating because the trade went as discussed, and everything works, but I would be extremely hesistant to trade with him again.

    After discussing and finalizing the deal on Anandtech, I mailed the card out the next day. He received the card on a Tuesday, but didn\'t send me a message until I contacted him later that week. During that time I asked if he could mail the items that I traded for. He agreed and said he would mail out the items very soon.

    Almost a week later I received a message asking what my mailing address was. I sent him a reply, and asked that he send the items ASAP since I would be leaving the state soon. He agreed.

    The floppy drive and modem came in the mail, and worked fine when tested. There was no cash/check/etc. in the box, and I sent a message to him asking where it was, and if he could send the cash via paypal or some other method since it was part of the trade. The money arrived via paypal soon after.

    So, the trade when ok, but I was disappointed with the speed at which things went. I realize that he may have been rather busy at the time of the trade, but I wonder if anything would have been shipped if I had not sent out multiple emails asking on the status of the trade.
