I was wondering the same thing, but due to the time I will likely leave the negative feedback and modify the comment to better late than never. I've written this one off though. 

I guess for me the value is irrelevant...it's the premise that it happened and to a lot of members...there may be others that haven't commented too.  Someone did say they sent some vintage Ryan's. The cards I sent probably valued $10 total, but like I mentioned I didn't have much in them at all as I acquired most of them in a large collection I purchased. Several of these I put on my tradelist hoping to acquire some of the cards I needed for sets that are not base line commons. It's just unfortunate that it happened and with everything said, I beleive everyone that was impacted hopes that he is okay. 

UPDATE: Hey everyone. I just received some concerning news on this. I shared what's happening with this on Twitter the other day to warn hobby twitter in case he trades there as well. His girlfriend replied to my tweet (I recognize her profile pic from his Instagram photos and believe her to be credible). From her DM it sounds like he is ghosting everyone IRL (including immediate family) and hasn’t been heard from since this weekend. It sounds pretty serious. I suggest we back off chasing this any further for the moment. If on the slim chance anyone is contacted by him or notices him active on TCDB, please message me and I will put you in contact with her.

I am truely impressed with the amount of investigative work that has gone into this guy! I too never received my cards from this guy. I sent about $30 worth of cards to him. I am still holding out hope... hope that I still get my part of the trade, and hoping that he is ok.

I also have an outstanding trade with this member since mid-June which included a Kobe RC.

Even coming too/going from NZ packages should have arrived by now.

Disturbing news if even his family is not able to communicate with him.

I hope all ends well but I will not be holding out hope.

That is concerning...I had a cousin do that, cut all contact off even with family, unfortunately it ended with her committing suicide. Let's hope that isn't the case here. 

I am way late on this but have a few things to add.  I too have a trade outstanding with him.  We ended up working out a significant trade in value, enough that I sent my package via USPS with tracking.

He had posted on 6/17 he sent his package with a tracking number.  I sent mine on 6/21.  Only after a couple of days without getting anything did I enter his number to find out it did not exist.

In hindsite, I should have know something was up.  We had tried to put together a trade a couple months earlier but could not come to a deal.  Then in May, he responds with another proposal and now has cards I have been looking for.  But then he disappears for nearly 3 weeks until 6/16.  We agree on 6/17, etc.  Last contact with him on 6/28 regarding his move to CA.

Regarding his profile with the 91 positive, his first feedback was done on 4/4/2022, last was 6/18.  So that was all built up over 2.5 months.  While the profile had a lot of good feedback, it was not something that took long to build up.

Baased on jdmx's post, it doesn't look like this was unplanned. Sending a tracking number that does not exist is pretty good evidence he set out to scam!

Well as many have said here everything in his profile looks good. I have had a deal out there fro coming up on two months now and just found this thread and his feedback getting destroyed. I had been giving him the benefit of the doubt if it is a scam he made off with a reasonable hall from me including some old basketball cards and a jeter rookie.

Im hoping he is going through some stuff and gets past it. If his gf is credible people are always more important than cardboard

I am asking this because this is the first time I've had someone not follow through on their side.  I currently have the transaction status as "Problem."  But what I want to know is if this transactoin will eventually purge from my open transaction list.
