Has any of you ever traded with a guy by the name of retrotvrev, or
samuel smith? He was to send me a huge set of tapes from a trade of
ours and never did, they should have been here by last thursday, and he
will not email me back.i had to send him 16 tapes and we were supposed
to send at the same time, the he told me a couple days later the tapes
got sent back to him,and that he would send them the next day, then he
said Thursday they should be in, well it has been 5 days and they still
arent here and there is no answer from mr smith when i email him, let
me know if any of you have had this experiance with sam smith and if
you have ever traded with him,

thanks
joe

You should check out this message board:
http://www.insidetheweb.com/mbs.cgi/mb971751. Someone else said he was also
ripped off by this guy. I never traded with Sam Smith, but I did contact him
about a trade. I got a really bad vibe from him, and I suspected he was just
trying to rip me off.

Yes, i know who your talking about. He's actually had my tapes that i sent
him since last Wednsday. I haven't gotten mine yet. I sent 2 tapes and still
nothing from him. The last e-mail i got from him was a nasty email about me
spreading rumors about him cheating people but obviously i'm not the only
person he's done this to. He told me first that their was a line in the zip
code so the tapes got sent back to him. Then he said he was moving...That was
last Thursday. He said he was sending my tapes Friday so they should have
been here Yesterday. I'll give him till Friday before i spread anything. Let
me know if you get yours. Oh yeah, i've tried emailing him also and i keep
getting nothing.

I'd call it Karma!

Have you noticed a lot of bad trader posts lately that are the result of
people being a little too impatient? When someone complains that they
made a deal last Thursday and still hasn't received the tapes 5 days
later (including one, possibly two stats and a Sunday), I think it's
time for that person to shake his/her head rapidly from side to side!

sam it is you!why havent you sent the tapes yet?i sent you tons of
stuff but i never got mine.i have looked foward to getting the tapes
and so has my little brother he is the one basically that wanted most
of them, it is kinda sad to tell a kid he is getting something and then
someone never sends the stuff like they said, please send the tapes
man.

Joe:

Don't you realize that your name is up there in rip off heaven like Steve
Stone's? All the established traders are warning off the newbies. Soon,
you won't be able to get a game of cards, let alone anything from tape
trading.

In case most of you newbies don't know, there are several established
traders in "the circle" that have rare items for trade (clue number one) and
that keep each other fully informed on bad and good traders. We know about
the rip off artists. Want it in black and white?

DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH JOE GRIFFIN!!!!

Regards & Blessed be the Circle for we protect each other.........
