Hi there

Sorry, but I do have one more to add, from Jan of this year. I answered this guys's request on a.t.t looking for G1 Jet parts, and ended up sending him some Thundercracker bombs, which I asked $7 for. He just insisted that I send first and that if I did, he'd send me $10. Well, thinking I had nothing to loose, I put the bombs into a film roll container and sent it to him. It took him a while, but he finally replied to me after I sent it and said that he got an empty envelope from me. I say bullshit for three reasons: 1)it took him a while to get back to me *after* he claimed he received my envelope, 2) he made this whole big thing about not wanting to get ripped off and that he'll make it worth my while to send first, 3) I have NEVER heard of Canada Post opening and ripping people off like that. I'm not saying that it couldn't happen, I'm saying that the possibility that it happened in this case and for him to still get an envelope is next to zero.

The ironic thing is, I would have let him have it for free, but now I want to let everyone know to beware of this guy.

Our last emails.

At 09:01 PM 6/30/00 EDT, he wrote:

And then I wrote him later asking if he got it. After a couple of weeks, I get this from him.

At 09:23 PM 8/11/00 EDT, he wrote:

What kinda threat is this? Go the the newsgroup? This is like saying, "yeah I got your stuff, but I don't wanna pay you for it, so back off!".

And then I email him with:
>Hold on, when you received it, why didn't you email me? This is serious business,
>the mail should not be tampered with by Canada Post. Was it completely sealed or
>was there a part of the envelope missing? Did it look like it was resealed?

And I did go to the newsgroup and made a couple of posting about him. Guess what? Didn't hear from him on the newgroup and he never replied to my email.

So again, his info is:
Chris Wagner
1168 S. Wesley
Oak Park, IL
60304

and his email is: Blurr69@aol.com

In fact, if anyone has any bad dealings with this guy, please post them.
