It's too bad I've been taken for a ride with this guy.
On one of my few trips to the Sixth Division's web site, I saw this character needed some items I had (Soldat 1 whistle, new style gas mask).
Made an offer on some stuff he had for trade (2 HJ knives, P38, and tank destruction badge) and we agreed it was a fair trade. Mailed my package off immediately and notified him of such. No reply.
A couple of weeks later, I received an email from him saying he had received my package and had mailed mine off that day too. At that point, I was a bit suspicious - every trade I can think of has involved both parties mailing their packages within a day or 2 of the deal being agreed on.
Received the package 3 weeks(!) later. Opened it up, and... tank destruction badge was not in the package.
Fired off another email stating the package was missing an item. Received no response.
8 days later, I sent another email - text below:
So anyways, I send off another email stating the obvious - yes, I'd checked the package and where I opened it. No, I hadn't received an e-mail. Stated that my address was the same as when I mailed him a package the first time, and that I'd like him to re-send the email he'd sent me, or at least some proof an email had been sent originally.
The last contact with this guy was over a week ago. Have since left a comment asking for clarification on his page on the Sixth Division's page as he obviously isn't answering emails.
I'd be fine with him admitting he didn't pack it, that it somehow disappeared from the package, or something like that but I've received nothing other than a lame reply to an email almost immediately after I sent it. The kicker has been the horrible communication.
Just want to let my fellow modellers know to steer clear of this person.

Recived a reply stating this:
Uh, what? e-mails sent but I never received them? I check my inbox, spam box and trash daily to ensure no false-positive emails get filtered, but there never was one from him in there. I also was put off by the condesending tone in the email stating I hadn't checked the package thoroughly or that I'd lost it. The package was opened on a tabletop, and the package, a padded envelope, opened neatly with a knife and once I noticed the ribbon wasn't in the box, opened on the seams to check all the corners to ensure it hadn't become stuck somewhere.
