I'm not sure anyone is rushing to judgment...looks more like a colaboration of people who have the same concern and are posting it here.  When looking at this, its been well over a month since he signed in...and my transacton with him predates that by at least a week...now a bad address...hmmm?  Besides...cards have not been returned by the PO as undeliverable from anyone who has commented here and has an open transaction with this user.  Respectfully asking, how long would you wait before throwing in the towel and leaving feedback to reflect your dissapointment? 

I'm one of those people that uses my nickname instead of proper name on mailing address....didn't dawn on me that it would come off as shady until now.  Oh well...most people call me Velli so I didn't think twice about it, plus I rarely use my real name on the internet.  Hopefully this bad apple doesn't ruin it for me.

Seems like this might be the case of a member who got in over his head, thinking he would get all these trades completed before the move and is still trying to get settled in and hasn't got around to his collection. Hopefully he reappears in the near future.

Ron- what is his Instagram username? 

Everyone- Confirming the new address is bogus, can't find an Encino street in Torrance. I have his phone number, which does have an area code and exchange from the area (Springfield) of his old Bolivar, MO address. Should I text him the URL to this thread and tell him to get on here and explain himself if he's indeed not scamming us? I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt, but my gut is telling me we got scammed. Like I posted earlier, I texted him a couple weeks ago. Even if something happened to him, it doesn't take much to text a brief reply if you're truly on the up-and-up.

According to Instagram he's alive and well...which is good...otherwise nothing to add.

I am yet another person who is waiting on cards. Sent this user a number of heritage SPs.  Should have been suspicious when he responded sent minutes after accepting. The USPS delivered with tracking to the old address. 

So after all these discussions about this trader, no one has posted any negative feedback??

I think we're all waiting to see if we should give the benefit of the doubt. The fact that he likely scammed us after building up so much positive feedback is just......odd. 

Instagram name is the same as TCDB name. I'm not on Instagram, I just Googled and it came up.

This dude Is ranked #1 on my trade matching, Iam just lucky not to have dealt with him cause I definitely considered trades  I feel bad for the people going through this mess   seems to me this person Is In the wind and It makes no sense considering all this Info

His last post on instagram is from last fall so I doubt anyone will have any luck getting in touch with him there.
