To my fellow Tankers:
I have a question on trade etiquette/procedure and want your opinion. I set-up a trade with a fellow member (who I will not name) for the following: 1x Target exclusive RAM cycle with Sandstorm MISB for 1x HoH Snake Eyes with Timber MISB. Got the HoH SE today, but it's been opened, then re-taped. This annoys me, as I specifically asked when setting up the trade if it was MISB. So, my question to you: 1. Has this happened to you, where the item sent wasn't as advertised? And what should I do to resolve it? I guess send it back ... fawk. Thanks in advance for your comments.

well, that's a toughie. If the figure itself has been opened and retaped to the card, then yeah..that's fucked up and you should trade back. If it's just the outer box thing which is only "sealed" with a piece of cheap scotch tape...then no biggie. That part was never truly "sealed" in the first place.

I would let this go...
The figure will never be worth anything and as long as the figure is still on the card, it is MOC IMO. Don't let little things like this in life affect you

if you wanted the item sealed, it should have arrived that way.
if you wanted the item sealed on card only, then there's no issue. you should get what you were expecting. bottom line. |

The other guy needs to make it right if you wanted the box sealed. I used to get everything MOMC. Now I open it all. It's much more gratifying, and I don't have to worry about creases, dents, and tape.

Whew..for a second there I thought it was me... Don't you usually ask them to send to you first? I would bring it up to the guy you are trading with and see if he will make it right. Maybe he didn't notice it was resealed?
I did a trade awhile back and I read it as loose when it should have been MOC. The other tanker brought it up to me. I tried to send him some money to compensate but he didn't want to and said I should be careful next time. The bad thing was that it was MOC to begin with and I opened it to send him loose cause I thought that's how he wanted it. I felt really bad and wanted to make it right. I think the other tanker would want to do the same. |

Thanks for the feedback and comments. Bottom line: I wanted the item MISB, because that's how I am collecting this set. Mint (or as close as possible) in a sealed box - not for future resale value, but for me, because I have OCD for the HoH set.
I did contact the other Tanker and he's pissed, telling me I'm ruining the whole trade experience on the site. He did not offer any compensation. *sigh* I will send the item back - but am out $$$, which annoys me. And no, solid.wii - it's definitely not you. Your stuff was sent out first thing today.
