Well, It is looking like I have earned almost $500! I will be subtracting figures and possibly reposting a list of what I have left.

I'm planning on selling in small chunks. I have virtually everything up to wave eight minus most of wave four, with a bunch of duplicates. Tell me what you want and we'll discuss a price.
Oh, and my mom is anti-Paypal. And for those about to ask why, she thinks she will get cheated. And no, she won't change her opinion. So cash or check is the way you'll have to go.

First post of page 500 (for me) and it's disappointing. PM shall be sent.

Good trade with someguy. I'm so happy I'd rep him twice if I could.

His laminated army cards look spectacular, he could not have shipped more promptly, and the packaging was great (anyone that doesn't use Styrofoam peanuts is good guy in my book).

Great trade with Yagyuninja!

Yet another TNT Seal Of Approval issued!

You can wait until Jesus comes back but I highly doubt you'll ever find a Booster of Gladiatrons for $20.00. Sorry but that ain't happening.

Fortunately, it's almost Spring here, & that means it's time to plant tobacco. So, Jesus & all of his cousins named Jesus will be here soon to help with the tobacco crop.

I'll ask them when they get here, if they have any Gladiatrons, but generally I believe they don't bring any 'Scape with them. They usually buy 'Scape & take it back home to Mexico after we're done with the tobacco.

But, I'll ask, just for You!

Just a little background info for anyone considering a trade with VKS...Check the latest bad trader's post linked above. I would put it all here but it is really long and I don't want to clutter this up too much with a bunch of negativity.

Be warned, it isn't pleasant. When you dig around in trash you find unpleasant things.

To be blunt: I thoroughly regret defending him the way I did. Anyone who wants to send me an, "I told ya so!" feel free.

This is why you don't trade with minors. Me, I'm in a different situaition. I can drive to his house, knock on his door, and talk with his mother about the situation. If you're in Oregon or California, it's probably not a bad idea to NOT trade with a minor 4000 miles away.

Caveat Emptor, people. I have had 50+ positive trades on Heroscapers.com now and a few hundred elsewhere (yes, I am trying to keep FedEx in business, personally) and if you make sure you know who you're dealing with, and do your due dilligence, you'll be better off.

Trade Rules For Skeptics:
1. Never trade with ANYONE you cannot drive to and back from in a weekend to recover your stuff. It may cost you some money, but at least you can get recovery.

2. Never, ever, ever trade with any minors unless you've talked to their parents personally, or unless you have friends within 30 minutes to contact their parents personally.

3. When a person has little Rep, or has few trade certifications, don't do it unless you're within the same state.

These 3 rules do limit what you can find, but they also limit your liability. Just remember how YOU were when you were <18, and keep that in mind when trying to do a business deal with a minor.

I think that's a very strong thing to say. When I was 15 I made three great trades. I don't think that just because one minor has messed up, that you can just group all of us together. In fact half the time people don't even know the age of the person they're trading with.

It's got nothing to do with messing up - it's because of the situation. An adult trading toys with a minor is always going to be scrutinized and slanted against the adult if things go wrong, no matter how they go wrong. It's just prudent to take extra care with minors.


I would add one more rule with the low rep/low vouch trades. I will usually ask for their end to be sent first. If they don't like that kind of a rule, I'm perfectly willing to wait for someone I know well enough to trade at the same time or for someone I don't know well enough who's more understanding.

Of course, that only works if there's enough people around who can vouch for your honesty.
