Hello again, buyers, sellers and traders!

As some of you may know, the purpose of this topic is to have a central record of transactions, whether good or bad, between our members. The purpose of this topic is NOT to bash anyone in case of a negative trade. The information posted here will simply allow YOU, the buyer/seller/trader, to make an informed decision about who you would like to trade with.

In this topic, we have a few rules so that things stay clean and organized. Don't worry, they're terribly easy to follow!

• You are only allowed one post in this topic to list your transactions. If you complete more transactions after your initial post, simply EDIT YOUR POST to include your new transactions.
• Be sure to link to the other members' profile.Names may change, but the profile link will remain the same in your post.
• Keep posts short and simple.All we need to know is the name of the other trader in your transaction and a description of why it was a good, bad, or excellent trade in one sentence.

If you have an issue with something a member said about you, PM that person and try to work it out. DO NOT POST IN THIS TOPIC DEBATING THE ISSUE! If you have any complaints that cannot be resolved, send the Forum Leader of B/S/T a PM, and he will look into the problem. Just be advised that we may not be able to resolve every conflict, since we are dealing with real world items that have not crossed my path. As a courtesy, we would ask that anyone sending something to save the receipt from your post office, or if you are not given one to ask for one. Also be sure you can scan or take a picture of the receipt, if asked; this will insure that you have sent if you are asked for proof.

Finally, here is an example of an excellent post. Feel free to follow this general structure when you post your transactions!

Edited by Mylo Xyloto, Jan 14 2013 - 06:44 PM.

[Makuta_of_Oz]

Good:
shadowkraata08 (x2): Trades were great, very quick for international trades, and items were in mint condition. 10/10
fifi2004: Quick arrival, item was in mint condition, but a little expensive IMO. 9/10
Master Vahi: Lightning-fast delivery, items in great condition. It's Makuta_of_Oz with underscores BTW. 9/10
blake1090: Quick delivery, items in great condition. 8/10
Jambi (a.k.a. Kex): Fairly quick delivery, items all in mint condition. 10/10
Bionicle Raptor: Excellent communication, lightning-fast deilvery, items were in mint condition (apart from one cracked piece). 9.5/10
George Costanza: items in mint condition, good communication. 8.5/10
Flying Mummy: Quick arrival, items in mint condition, good communication. 10/10
Toa_Ausar: Fantastic communication, items in mint condition. 10/10
u_no_who999: Excellent communication, quick delivery, all items very well-packaged and in mint condition. 10/10
Brickthing: Everything was in perfect condition, items arrived quickly. Couldn't've asked for better! 10/10
Refy L.S.: pretty much went off without a hitch except for a listing error on my part. That was quickly resolved, and everything else went smoothly. 8/10
shadowonua: pretty much went off without a hitch except for a listing error on my part. That was quickly resolved, and everything else went smoothly. 9/10

~Argentum~: Items were in perfect condition except for one wrong part which was easily replaced. 9/10

Okay:
TIM-R: Quick arrival, but one item was cracked (but still playable) and the packaging was sub-par (no offence). 6.5/10
kheff: My end arrived quickly and in very good condition. Unfortunately I accidentally forgot to package a couple of pieces for his end. But that was me, not him. 9/10
MetroidHunter: Items I sent were briefly lost and then returned to me because he didn't give a name. Finally arrived after I resent and we lived happily ever after. And the moral of this story is that we learn from our mistakes. 6/10
nayrsllim: Gave more than he received (very generous ), but accidentally gave me one wrong mask. I sent it back and he sent the right one. Only on the Okay list because of that little slip-up, but otherwise highly recommended. 8.5/10
Solid Snake: Took just over a month to arrive, but unsure if that's his fault. However he did give me two extra Kanoka disks! 8.5/10
Kongu-guy: Items came from the Philippines to Australia in only 3 days, which is record time for ANY trade! However, many pieces were wrong, and a few I wasn't able to replace. 8/10
Wheeljack: It's hard to negotiate for a misprint mask, but I managed. The forum downtime made the trade difficult, and we had to rely on social media to get it done. 8.5/10

Bad:
Captain 'soap' MacTavish (a.k.a .:The Great Mata Nui:.): Items apparently never arrived at their destination. Also asked me to send first when my trade thread specifically said not to. 0/10.

[Vox The Shadow of Reality]

Here is my Sales and trading records.\

Good

• Seller Kiba bought $200 worth of bionicels 8 titans, 3 canisters sets and 2 matoran size sets. My service with hime was really good and he was understanding with the money since the alaska mail system take a while even if your just doing a money order. I would recommend looking at what he sells. First time i bought on bzpower.

​
Bad

• none so far

[Master Inika]

I purchased from Kiba. For $22.00, I got a collection of Silver and Golden Kanohi, Lehvak Va, Pahrak Va, and Turaga Matau. For the entire negotiations, Kiba was very polite and straightforward. His shipment to me was delayed by a week, although this wasn't really his fault. To compensate, still, he provided a Copper Huna, which was a major plus. Overall, I'd recommend trading with Kiba.

[Obsessionist]

My first and only trade was with gopalchicken. It was great, negotiations went well and the parts arrived in super condition. She also was understanding when I mixed up one of the Krana I sent her. A wonderful trade overall.

[55555]

Excellent:
Golden Kanohi - Sent quickly, minor communication problems on my end, items arrived quickly and as specified. Smooth and fast transaction.

I'll probably update this with my old list from the archived forums.

- 55555

[Ziko]

Good
Golden Kanohi- shipped quickly and everything went smoothly (my first time buying through BZP).

[Electric Turahk]

The Good:

• Golden Kanohi - Really fast shipping, great communication
• Reya - Items came really well packaged
• Kanohi Dragon - Fast communication, very understanding

[Reya]

New site, new list. Everyone I have traded with in the past are probably inactive making it meaningless.

Good

Electric Turahk - Good communication. Deal went smoothly and according to plan.
Kahu Rider 13 - Standard buy. Everything went smoothly.
Toatapio Nuva - Deal was struck within a day. Money arrived quickly. Good deal.
Mask collecter - Paid me ahead of schedule. Took a while to strike a deal but when we did, everything went perfectly!

Edited by Reya, Feb 01 2012 - 06:01 AM.

[Toatapio Nuva]

Good
Reya - Good communication, sent fast and all items were in good condition. The trade couldn't have gone better.
Bionicle Raptor - I've traded many times with him, and each time the trade has gone well. He is dependable and sends quickly.
Anthony_Dalek - I've traded with him two times. The first time was long ago, the second much later. Both times he was easy to communicate with, friendly, sent very fast and the items were all there, in good condition. Definately recommended.
Greivou's Malevolence - Sold me a huge lot of cards. Very friendly, sent quickly.

Tazakk - Excellent trade, everything went smoothly.

Bad
Misprint Hunter - Stopped answering to my PM's after I sent the money to him. It was a complete ripoff. It didn't make it any easier to predict that he had the title of a trusted trader!

Edited by Wheeljack, Aug 03 2012 - 05:16 PM.

[Nicotheory]

So here I go.

Good

Curly Howard : Good communication, lightning fast shipping, the items arrived in perfect condition. We came to a deal fast! Highly recommanded seller. My first transaction ever on BZPower!

Knock Out : Items arrived in great condition. He's kind and concerned. A pleasant transaction.

Mylo Xyloto (x3): Items arrived quickly and in good conditions! Got a lot of items I've been looking for a long while! 5 Stars.

Toa Lihkan Hordika(x4) : Items arrived in perfect condition! Offers a great customer service and ships fast! 100%

Neutral

Swindle : Items arrived in good condition. However, it took almost 2 months for the package to arrive. I guest it's not really his fault, but he did not answered my reply during that time. I finally received the package. There was some extras so I think I can't really complain.


Bad

[rahkshi guurahk]

Good: Toatapio Nuva (needs to update his post.)

[Click]

I might as well contribute since I've been going trade crazy lately.
Good
Bionicle Raptor: Very quick to respond, items arrived nicely, and he even sent my extra shipping money back! So kind. Definitely recommended.

Joller: He dealt well with my "negotiations" and changing order, but I managed to get a good price for quite a few sets. Little delay, but I can live with that. Recommended trader.

Nick Silverpen: He also dealt well with my changes in what I wanted to send, and was fine with a few missing pieces. Little delay on my part, and in the end, I was missing a Piraka Eyepiece, but I blame USPS. Recommended trader.

Wazzup4567: Yep, I'm indecisive, and changed my order again, but everything turned out great. He even included a complementary Kongu Mahri McD's toy my little brothers had fun with. Definitely recommended.

Anthony_Dalek: Lost some money to Paypal and Shipping, but was fine with it. Items arrived faster than the estimate, which I really enjoyed. Definitely recommended.

Meh Traders
Knock Out: I'm sorry, but he just seems a bit expensive, but that might just be me being stingy. Almost did one trade, and then settled on another that worked out well.

Bad
None yet!

In Progress
Toa Kayn: Giving me way more than my trade was worth, partially because he enjoyed my epic. He's negotiating well with my changing agenda, again, and just sent off my side. I would definitely recommend him!

Mylo Xyloto: Little slow on response sometimes, but so far, the trade is turning out great. As always, I'm changing what I want a lot, and he's fine with it. I'll post more comments once I'm further along.

Wheeljack: An interesting trade, I'm modelling some pieces for him, and he's fine with the wait. He's put up with my endless specifications, and I'm liking the trade so far.

Raiden: Toa of Storms: Another custom trade, he's fine with my attempts to remold a piece, as well as wait on another project I'm doing for him. Very patient there.

Valendale: Dealing with my desparate attempts to find more missing pieces, and very patient. Hasn't responded for a little while, but I guess that's kinda my fault for not posting much of an update anyways.


Total Trades: 11

Edited by Click, Jul 20 2012 - 12:50 AM.

[Kayru]

THE GOOD:

Toa Lhikan Hordika: Shipping took a slow route, but his order arrived in perfect condition, and he responded often and kept me updated.

 

THE BAD:

 

Joller: I only bought one smallish set from him, and it arrived with 4 pieces missing. That's just laziness to me. He at least offered to send the rest when I let him know about it.

(UPDATE: He never sent the rest. His topic also disappeared. Untrustworthy, unprofessional. I wouldn't ever buy sets from him again.)


Total trades: 2
