The Truth About The Famous Metallic Purple Pakari

Okay, some of you may remember a topic (or, more accurately, several topics) in August last year about an apparently brand new misprint - a metallic purple Pakari. The topic starter (who's name I will not bring up, and if anyone remembers it, please don't flame him) claimed to have found it in a 2008 Bitil set, and posted some pictures of it. The topic promptly dissolved into a post war between those who believed him (like me) and those who didn't. Eventually, and quite rightfully, the topic was closed. But before the topic had even been started, I had begun to negotiate a trade with the member. My inital offer was the 2004 Ultimate Dume Kraahkan, a transparent Avohkii and 6 Bohrok. I sent first, and awaited a response. But it took several PMs to the member until I got him to reply. It turned out that he had been ignoring me because a few of the pieces were missing from the Bohrok - despite the fact that I had warned him beforehand that that was the case, 6 years of dismantlement being what they were. Anyway, he wanted me to send something else to make up for it - an Whenua Hordika set. Not wanting to repeat my mistake last time, I bought a brand new set from Amazon, waited for it to arrive, checked it for any missing pieces (and added a missing axle) and sent it to him. When he responded this time, he said that he had sent the mask and that it would arrive soon. Three months later, there was no sign of it, so I PMed him again - several times. Every time, he continued to insist that he had sent it, and that it should be there. Eventually, I decided that it must of got lost in the post, and dropped the matter. However, soon I got a bit annoyed with how much I had sent for nothing in return, so I asked him to send my Kraahkan back. After numerous ignored PMs, and much hair-tearing, he eventually replied saying that he needed an address (though I had given it to him before). I sent him my address, and for the past month or so I have been continually PMing him asking whether he has sent the mask yet. No reply so far. The end.
Like I said before, please do not flame the member - it is quite possible that the mask really did get lost in the post, and the server has eaten all of my PMs.
