I just wanted to put the word out while I am here so maybe someone will see this post and save themselves the hassle of trading with a deadbeat.
Well, I guess I shouldn't say that. There could be some logical explanation, but, anyway, here's the deal....
A few weeks ago, I arranged two deals with fellow SSG users. One, CooljoE, two, Toolshed. CooljoE followed through his end of our bargain with flying colors and we shared a great trading experience. I was even able to grab his preference last minute fresh out a new case at WM. So anyone who is negotiating with him, good for you.
Toolshed, on the other hand, has yet to live up his end. He offered me a Dooku that I needed at the time at cost(w/discount, he works at TRU suposedly) + shipping. I sent a money order for $10(for his trouble) and haven't seen hide nor hair of the figure. Now, benefit of the doubt, I send an email or two to let him know the M.O. should be arriving even though CooljoE's figure has already arrived and I sent my package to CJ and the M.O. the same day. After 2 or 3 emails, I haven't seen or heard from him or the Dooku. I've run across tons of them since but that doesn't change a thing!!!
I feel pretty ripped off, and the only thing I can do is post here to try to save someone else the trouble of getting screwed. And I'll put it on every thread I post or reply to,

Toolshed is a DEADBEAT TRADER and a disgrace to Star Wars collecting across the universe. Until I receive my Dooku, I'll not stop tagging it wherever I go.

It really makes a person wary of trading, even though the person you may be negotiating with is legit. My trash could be your treasure and my treasure could be collecting dust in your trade pile, and one f****r has to screw it up for everyone.

This is one Jedi that is no longer clouded by the darkside of the Toolshed!

Please let me know I'm not alone.
Thanks for listening

I agree wholeheartedly with the rant about Toolshed. I too am out some money through PayPal.

DONT TRADE WITH TOOLSHED - but be careful. His email no longer works and I would bet that he will try to sign up in this forum with a different username.

It's loosers like this that make trading scary.

There are at least 2 others here that have been taken by this guy.

Hello to the guy who used Paypal. You can apparently get your money back through PayPal. Look into it. Take care!

To R2 d2 I dont know what your deal is. Paypal might have an internal way to do this but I wanted you to know that under the federal fair credit billing law, if you dont sign for your credit card charge then you can deny the charges. You need to call the credit card company to do this and it might **** off paypal so you should check to see if they can do it first. But as a last resort, you have 60 days from the charge date to call your credit card co and deny charges.
