Hi everyone,
Not looking for a lecture, just passing along my experience with Ryan Trude.
We arranged a trade a few weeks back. My 1.2 rosies for
1.1 of his candoia. I shipped first. After he recieved my
rosies he started giving excuses about why he couldnt ship
the candoia right away. After 5 days he came back and stated
the rosies were not 1.2 but were 3.0. He said he didnt sex
them but that a friend did. He said he would still ship the
candoia but needed me to get him some money to pay for
the shipping since the rosies werent the sex he was expecting.
He said he would find some females for them in the future.
Feeling they were sexed properly I told him just to ship the
rosies back, at my expense. For some reason he didnt read
what I emailed him correctly and thought I was trying to get
him to pay for the shipping of the rosies back to me. I pointed
out exactly what I told him to do. By now he says he's just going to have someone sell them anyway. After he re-read what I told him he realized that I did in fact tell him to ship them back at my expense. All last week he was
telling me that was going to ship the rosies back. He has been saying all the while that he had no way of getting to a place to ship them. I pulled up the usual shippers and found that
within 2.1 miles of his address there were 5 ups locations,
within 7.5 miles there are 3 airborne express. He had been saying he was going to ship via usps (which I requested him
NOT to do) and within 1.7 miles of him there are 5 usps locations. I called him last wednesday and he assured me he would have them to me by the weekend. When they hadnt showed up friday afternoon I emailed him with the shipping info
above along with the 13 addresses to aid him. This morning I
get back on line and find 2 emails from him. One stating that
he was just going to go ahead and ship the candoia (even though I told him to ship my rosies back at my expense) and
another stating that he would have already shipped but that
he had lost my address and needed me to give it to him again.
Our emails have been bounced back and forth so that the last
email you get had the dialogue from every email on it. So when he emailed me saying for me to give the address to him again I thought it was funny since my address was about 20 lines down from where he typed the question.
And now I see in the classifieds he on Fauna he has my rosies
listed for sale or trade. I'll be giving him another call this afternoon to see what excuse he has now but thought I'd give
everyone a heads up on this guy. However it turns out I'll let everyone know.
God Bless to everyone !!
