Very PECULIAR situation-your opinions please

UPDATE:
Today i have had call from the post office and they told me, that coins are not lost or stolen, but this package is
still in NYC and will be returned back, because there are silver coins and they dont know, if these coins cost 1dollar or half million (tax), i declared price of package at 10 usd and it seem, its perhaps suspicious .. and in addition, its forbidden sending coins via normal mail service, if i want send it, i have use Fedex or UPC, they will declare it and its ok. But i will not use Fedex and when package will returned, simply i throw it and its finished.
Really I do not understand, why coins, in addition, not valid coins from Czech and Germany, from 1950-1975 are forbidden send to US..., this is not Rembrand picture ...
So,what i wroted, problem wasnt on my side, or czech postal service, but problem is with US customs. Thats the end!

But your Moran is on way, i hope you receive soon ok and you receive also 24usd, cash .. thats all i can do..please, be so kind and post here, when you receive, thanks!"Nice" trade..


btw. ---nifrand, I cannot understand, how POS, like you are, can be moderator.., when you are using at public forum word "bitch", when you are speaking about girl, u can be moderator at Whine and Cheese only, but thats all. And you are speaking about some apologies??!
 
Simona-

Much of this could have been avoided had you advised me the coins were en route and responded to my e-mails. When I receive the Moran and $24 will post.

Mike
 
Hm, thats not important now, btw.i responded at EVERY mail, what you sent me.

When you sent me last mail, i sent to you TWO mails, same day, where i wrote and explained, what i wrote to here, on the beginning.
No reply from you.

When i receive Moran from you, I did following things :

- i wrote to you immediately back, give me please a some time, because i will start asking all my friend and known peoples for communistic coins, i think, i can find more interesting coins for you, i was glad, that its good trade for me, because Moran i have not chance buy here and i wanted,mostly, this knife.

- i wanted send you more, than 5 or 7 coins, what i have had home and i found a lot of coins, summa over 50, some are maybe interesting for collectors-i dont know,im not coin collector, they was silver, absolute new and well packed and closed in plastic round boxes, some anniversary coins of eastern Germany communist party, 20 and 50 (three coins) eastern Germany mark (mark like a means payment..)

- ok, im sorry for my delay, its only one thing, where i can say sorry to you, by one month and one week i sent to you this package (40usd postal fees, over 50 coins coins is heavy..)

- unfortunately you receive not nothing and you wrote me mail with words " robbed and scam" I was pained, because this is not true, and i wrote you mail (its second reply to your last mail, what i sent the same day), that i will go in next two days visit post service and i will solve, where is, hell, this package, again no reply from you. I wrote also, that this is not my mistake, but im sad, that you receive nothing, it can be lost or stolen, etc., and i wrote, that im sending your Moran back, rather.

- i was asking and they told me, we need one week, come back by one week, and we will probably know what is with your package

- by one week they told me, what i wrote to here, package left Czech, arrive to London and next day continued to NYC, i leave my cell number
there, they promised, that they will call me, if some news will come...

- news are what i wrote today, and i will not comment stupidity of US customs ... its probably possible, that in short future, by Patriot Act number 200 will not allowed send to US toilet paper, because it will dangerous for your ass.

- you wrote, that you post not my name, at the beggining, its true, but its absolute clean, that when you write SHE and CZECH, im only ONE here, i dont know about next girl from Czech, who is BF member here.

- SO, result of all, for me, is following : no Moran, 40 + 24usd spent for nothing, spent one hour in postal service, im a bitch, everyone now will see to my person (circa 1500 views here), like when im some unserious "trade derelict" .... BUT i will have coins ... thats nice - im so "happy!!" Perhaps i take hammer and i broke all, from anger, when arrive it back.

- next thing and sad ::: its interesting at BF, how moderators are here moving and etc. etc. -- every kibosh!, but when someone call me bitch (read: nifrand), ITS OK, nobody from moderators (im speaking about this subforum) is not able tell to him, hey, be little polite, this is not Whine and Cheese...
Probably nifrand is their cronie and he can say, what he want. Strange rules.

- at the end, with bitter feelings and simply i can say: " What a nice trade!"

Ciao and have a nice Christmas

Unserious Bitch Simona, thats me, this is result of all, are you satisfied?
 
Folks, let me make a couple of points here.

First off, when dealing with foreign transactions, be it a trade, or sale, a bit of patience is in order. Communications is paramount in any dealings here on the forums, and while email does get caught in junk folders, or doesn't go through for other reasons, a little persistence usually pays off. In this case, I think communications did break down, with Surgiblade on the losing end.

I see that Simona has found out what happened to the coins. In the future, I suggest that both parties familiarize themselves with the appropriate mailing rules for whatever item involved.

Loki88, david, and others;

Nifrand is a moderator here at Bladeforums. It does not matter what forum he actually moderates, but the point; he is a moderator, and he is entitled, just as any other member is, to voice his opinion as he sees fit. Public trashing on the moderator staff here at BFC on the open forums is a no no. If you have a problem with what Randy has to say,(or any other moderator for that matter) then you need to discuss it with him via private messaging, or email.
 
ok, you are right about that , but i still feel that he shouldn't called her a **** in a public forum. He has every right to express his feelings in public, but we have to express ours via email because he's a mod? I already posted the fact that it was illegal to send coins over from one country to the other, especially when there are silver coins ( "smuggling of ancient artifacts") blablabla involved, i found the information within 5 minutes on the US customs website. It's also posted on the USPS website. A little research before could have saved both a lot of trouble and embarrasement. Now i would suggest that both parties will come to an agreement on how to make a satisfactory deal for both party's without us all getting involved.

Dear Simona try to calm down a little u are like a little "Italian hurricane" when u type. I understand that u are very angry, and i also understand that the guy is angry, but i just think u are pointing both your frustrations on the wrong person, u should blame international law regarding transfer of valuables.

I have had parcels delayed for weeks, never send an angry email, and guess what, most parcels did arrive. No one who is ceriously involved in this forum will smudge his reputation for a 50$ knife.

Sia, maybe it's Yana? She is also a member and czech! :p

I do not think I was trashing him at all. My language was not even as "graphic" as his... :confused: Till his post in this thead I though - moderator = higher standard.

Simona:

Sending money is prohibited even in itrastate mail (inside Czech Republic).

loki88: Semtex is not that dangerous anymore - they add steel powder now so it can be easily detected....

First off, the fact that one party in the transaction is female (or not) should have no bearing whatsoever on how the transaction is handled.

Secondly, if nothing else, this tale should make it very clear to everyone to use the 'return receipt requested' feature on emails involving any transaction, particularly one involving international borders. Of a similar nature, all shipments should be done only by carriers that allow the parcel(s) to be tracked and insured, with tracking numbers forwarded ASAP to the receiving party.

And finally, one is left to wonder what the statistical probability is of numerous emails and/or packages being 'lost' in a transaction such as this.
 
Other than the "you American" sterotype mentioned by the young lady. It seems all parties acted in good faith BUT as mentioned communication is paramount when dealing over seas......NOW that thats out of the way... DAMM GUYS am I the only one that thinks that accent (EVEN when typed) is INCREDIABLY SEXY :-).!!! IT SOOO conjures up visions of scantily clad FEMALE Soviet/Czech. spies huddled CLOSE together in a secret basement drinking vodka and smoking cigarettes plotting against foreign forces! OK sorry had to get that off my chest....you know us "Americans" :-) Happy Holidays ;)
Loandr.
 
I think most people on the net have the return receipt function disabled in their email programs (if their email programs even have that feature) because spammers often use it to fish for valid addresses.
 
Simona,

As a man, and as a moderator here at BladeForums, I'd never call you a bitch. If that IS you in your avatar, I have to say that you are VERY cute, and that I'd do you in a heartbeat.:D.

BTW...I hope that everything works out ok with this mess.
 
No offense, but, if 'spammers' are going to 'fish' for valid email addresses, they can just sniff the address(es) directly from the actual email (header) itself as it is relayed thru their mail server. The 'return receipt requested' feature has little to no effect on whether or not your email address is compromised by 'spammers'.

I myself rarely use the 'return receipt requested' feature on emails, but if it is something that I want to make damn sure is actually received and read by the recipient, then I'll enable it, if for no other reason than to negate the "I never received it" line outright.

And just about every email (client) program has the 'return receipt requested' function. If it doesn't, then one needs a new email (client) program :)

Glockman...that was classic! AND you are BAD :-) (In a good way)
*edited to add I just checked Simona's profile and ANY women whom includes
Aerobics Instructor AND Knives... as points of interest! is A OK in my book! What a combo....... NOW if you could just set me up with one of your attractive lady friends whom say enjoys... "Pole Dancing" AND perhaps theeee... "Cleaning of Dirty Firearms" Id consider a divorce!!! Just teasing Happily married "AMERICAN" here....but couldnt resist.
 
To clarify: most people set their email programs not to send a receipt notification even when requested. I think most email programs have that as the default setting these days, though I haven't done a survey.

Spam often includes a receipt request, which if honored tells their bots that's a valid email address. (Many of the addresses they send spam to are not valid.)

The point is although there's no harm in requesting a receipt notification, you're not likely to get one.
 
It is the responsibility of the recipient of the knife to make sure payment is received. PERIOD. It really doesn't matter if its around the world or around the block. If you don't hear from the seller that he got the payment, YOU need to follow up.

Its got nothing to do with girl/boy, postal service, lost emails, or customs. You buy a knife and receive it, make sure its been paid for. Anything less is seriously deficient and deserves having your name posted in GB&U. Especially if nothings been done in 2 months!

The name calling has been unnecessary, but the buyer owes the seller an apology for the time delay, regardless of whether the knife and shipping costs were returned.

loandr.,hehe, its off topic, but ok - first, really i have nothing to do with crappy Soviet union, and second, i do not drink vodka and i dont smoke cigarettes. And im not sitting in a secret basement :)
So, your wild imaginations are out of real :D
Czech isnt located in Soviet union, you need few geographic lectures or i can send you atlas :)

But it seem, here are three moderators and nobody is said nothing about nifrand notice, so i see, im right, what i wroted, they are his cronies and simply -- rules and "rules between cronies" work.

Mr.Grayson, next please, read better what i wroted UP

- ok, im sorry for my delay, its only one thing, where i can say sorry to you, by one month and one week i sent to you this package (40usd postal fees, over 50 coins coins is heavy..)
 
BTW.Email can be lost, i agree, but i have ALL messengers -ICQ,Yahoo,AOL and MSN in my registration here, address to my website too (in addition there are all my messenger contacts too ..) i think contact is no problem...

But surgiblade, i think, this weird trade can continue, i think, you are a cool man, by emails what you wroted to me, time ago, when we start this weird trade and i think some fight between us is unnecessary, because I am really innocent in this case... im going to NYC, last week of February or so, and i can send, first, these coins from NYC, no border customs :D
Probably it will mostly comic point at the end of this thread.

Or it can continue!, for entertainment of all peoples, who are reading this, your Moran can be lost on the way and side will changed :D
What a nightmare for you! :D
Or, good idea! - you can send Moran (from USA to USA)to Bram Frank, he will come to Czech probably again, end of March,and he will give me personally.

I think Moran will be very tired from traveling (USA-Czech-USA-USA-Czech)
:D

This is notice only, up, I dont think, that you will risk this trade again, so ok, i can understand.
 
Simona- Canals here are not used for many years, I do not know where so many people find canal water to drink, but they find it and it makes them stupid, yahoos could not find Czech on a map of Czech. Yahoos includes moderators who let GBU turn into W&C.
