Well, I've been patient. It's been nearly 3 months and I've still not received my end of the bargain from Nanashii. So I'm leaving a bad ref, but naturally I'll go into detail as to why.

The trade started on July 17, 2006, with me sending first. Quote:
it's nothing against youor anything but can I request that you send first? I've been ripped off on my last 3 deals.
And I PROMISE I'm not gonna cheat you out, I'm just having difficulty collecting $10 for ninetails since I'm unemployed and I need to buy food and such...
He received my end just fine. However, I had not received his. He said he forgot, which was fine, people do that. God knows I do all the time. So he said he'd send it and apologized. Cool.
Fast forward to September 3, 2006. I STILL had not received. Once again, he forgot. Quote:
****it, I'm sorry, I dunno how i forgot it ( it's been collecting dust on my desk and I haven't been home alot ).
I was supposed to send you Mightyena EX or was there something else cause I forgot our deal.
And I need your address again
So I retype my address (correctly I might add) and he supposedly sent out the next day.
Guess what? It's October 3, 2006. Over two months since I've sent. Guess what else? I still haven't received my card. Now, in his trade thread, he says he sent, and I can't accuse him of not sending, because maybe he did. However, if the address was wrong, then that would be his fault, as I use typed mailing labels (to avoid such confusion) and both times I regave him my address I typed it out correctly. Either way, he's responsible.
So, bottom line, I had a bad transaction with Nanashii. It's not the end of the world to me, but it still serves as a warning that even members with lots of references can screw up sometimes. When and if I receive, I will (slightly) change my reference.
