First of all I'd like to apologise for not being here to respond, sorry if my response is quick as I'm at school and can't take too long cuz my break is only 10 minutes long (but I'll be back at lunch)
I've only had time to read the topic and post by giorgio so sorry if my response seems lost
I am aware of this situation and am not going to say that gio is trying to "scam me" yet ...but I do want you all to know I have NO intention of scamming anyone.
The reason I've been away is that I'm moving a few miles to Santa Cruz and my mom took my computer so I'd actually help move >_<
furthermore I'm changing schools also (tomorrow is my last day) so I'll have trouble staying up to date with this...
However I do have Gio (palaviarhs) phone number and also rice's so I will do the best I can...
Now that that's out of the way, here is my side of this story...
It's true, the Cleaver was indeed given to me before I paid for it and I agreed to pay for it after raising the money...as people can tell you I was given the cleaver twice, not that it's relevent but I gave it back the first time ..just trying to say whatever I can to make sure everyone knows that I have no intention of scamming anyone...
The second time I was given the cleaver it was "for good" because I agreed to buy it. I did sell some items and gbs promptly after that and raise about $900...my grandpa covered the rest cuz I told him it was a good deal.
This whole time I was in contact with gio and rice about this deal. I know for a fact that rice has had gio on his msn for some time because as soon as I heard about the cleaver I told rice I wanted it badly (he usually buys items for the account if the deals seem worth it) and started working with him to get the cleaver (sorry if this isn't exactly in chronological order ...trying to think fast)
Anyways, gio could not manage to get a paypal account and my grandpa absolutely refused to send the money via WU because of the fees and because we've been burned on WU before.
Rice said I could send him the money on paypal and he'd handle the cleaver trade ...I specifically remember discussing this with gio and have msn logs if needed I guess...
About a week rolled by of me not seeing gio and then suddenly he and felix started acting kinda fishy...rice confirmed the deal was done and he had ended up sending him like $1100 which ended up coming to like $1200 or something like that on WU...
Anyways now gio talks to me one day really randomly after a week and said he had not been paid...
Bell for next class just rang...
Anyways the easy solution is that rice needs to go to the WU office where he sent the money and ask for a receipt (he threw his away I guess after the deal was done as he says he doesn't have it anymore) and retrieve the MTCN and other info.
Sorry for the scattered post I'll be back at lunch.
And yes I know I'm stupid for having rice do my deal for me but it seemed like a great idea at the time and you guys must understand how much trust I have in him...
In this post I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE THE SLIGHTEST HINT that I think rice is pulling a fast one on me or anyone. I trust rice 1000% as I've given him soooooooo many chances to scam me and he's given me sooooo many chances likewise and I know for an absolute fact that no matter what he would not scam me...I just can't see it even as an option. Yes he has taken a while to get this info but perhaps he's just lazy and annoyed. I also don't want to say gio is trying to pull something here because I know many many people have done trades with him (he is WaSaBi) and even felix says he knows him in real life.
honestly I dont know what is going on but I do intend to find out! I've sent $1000 that I worked hard for to rice and I DO know that for a fact.
Again sorry for the scattered post and I gotta go ![/b]
