    Dude (Rattrap), If you do get what is comeing to you, I would still as many have sugested Video tape, or at least photo graph (with some date evidence, a news paper) so you can vindicate your self.

    Now if after all of this, the box comes up empty, I would still do the photos. Oh and go pick it up yourself, Delivery sucks alot of time, and the post office normally holds packages 1 day before they atempt to send them out again.

    And the rest of you, retract the claws a bit. There is no need for such hostility to a fellow Transfan.

    But, wait, hahaha, wait, hahaha, what happened to the first DC#hahahaha (you're killing me here)hahah? Now, you have 2 numbers for the same invisible package? Ah-hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Keep it comin'!

    Ah, but why not, Daniel-san? To ask such a question is to ask why are here (in a cosmic sense). Answer: Black Humor. To laugh at another's pain (in this case, more and more self-inflcited) is a primal thing. I'm usually quite emphathic and accordingly sympathetic, but when someone constantly screws up repeatedly, they're fair game for my barbs!

    Oh, boy, another Rattrap-thread noob. :rolleyes2  Do yourself a favor and read all 45 pages. Then, you can come back in here, give some (tired and silly) advice and ask us to lay down our arms...if you can....(I guarantee you won't be able to after you get the whole story).

    As near as I can recall, this is the first fan I've gone after with sharp sticks and he deserves every bit, IMO! I'm all about helping out the fans (see my feedback), but, really, if you can't help yourself sometimes (and don't listen to the advice of others when you ask for it), you don't deserve my/our help, you deserve a good beating.

    Dude, don't get short with me, I have read all the posts. I was just giving some current advice.

    Don't moderate. If you have a problem, talk to a real forum mod.

    Wow. Just...wow.

    I never thought this thing would last this long. Good Heavens this is ridiculously stupid.

    No offense to Rattrap, but either lying, getting conned, or whatever....you might as well quit posting about it, you're gonna get slaughtered by the rest of the board here, and this story reeks of so much cowshit, you can't even get around in this thread without a nice trod through it.

    All in all, the seller is a piece of shit and needs his ass beaten like Stewie did to Brian on last night's Family Guy. Fuckin'-A.

    man, I know you are really getting into the thread but let people just post what they want. If it's been said already, so be it and let it go. It's not hurting anyone and just shows more sane people exist.

    In the words of Lewis Black, "I am confused..."
    He keeps saying that he wants to give you the stuff in person when he doesn't have it? Why didn't he simply START by saying the items were not in his posession and he had to acquire them from relative first? Seems like it would have saved a lot of time and anguish.

    You guys make me laugh! :lol 
    I keep thinking about what someone posted the last time rattrap was supposed to go meet this guy with his whole gang, and someone posted how they hoped this guy didnt do anything to rattrap's family, or something like that, I just keep picturing a pack of rodents. Terrible I know, but that combo of words gives me a funny visual. :lol

    Seems like Wreckgar has calmed down as much as Triformis has gotten fired up! ;)

    Nah, I'm just trying to keep everyone unified on the same front. There's no use getting into a fight because of a difference in opinion on someone else's problem.

    Anyone else reminded of "Let's Make a Deal"?

    Fred: Ok Rattrap, you have a Predaking and a Fort Max. You can take that, or you can trade it for the mystery box. It may have a Pepsi Prime, it may be empty. What will you do?

    Rattrap: Oh oh oh!! I think I'll take my chances with the mystery box!!

    :lol

    Oh geeze. Are you even TRYING to understand? He's made it pretty clear what's going on. "Fred" sent him a package as collateral of a Pepsi Prime until he can get his real stuff. This is the package that they tried to deliver today, but couldn't because Rattrap wasn't home. THIS DOES HAPPEN. The other package is his Fort Max and Predaking. "Fred" is supposed to get Rattrap the tracking number for this stuff tonight.


    Rattrap has said I don't know how many times that he doesn't believe this guy. He's just conveying the info to us to tell us what's going on. Now, is he lying? Possibly. Could he be telling the truth? Probably. It seems to me like most people here are just reading what they want to see at this point.

    I have read every single post in this thread. I have lost nearly 30% of my functional brain cells in the process.

    I know, right? I just went back and re-read the last 12 pages or so 'cause Darkravager pointed out that I'm the idiot now and, turns out, he is right (in this case). I've been reading this stuff so fast, I must have skimmed Rattrap's last big post too quickly in which it explained what was in the 2nd package. So, there, my apologies, I own up when it's time to own up.

    I also find it humorous that I did indeed do almost the same thing that Wreckgar did a few pages back with another guy who appeared to have not been reading and was also parroting advice already given multiple times, but I got slammed. Ah, well....it's all good, I'm still having fun!

    But since when were we unified? We actually appear to have 2 camps here: those who think Rattrap's the biggest chump to grace these boards in a while and those who feel sorry for him to the nth degree (inexplicably to me). I will, however, concede that we are all unified in the fact that "Fred" is a piece of trash who needs a lesson in morals.
