Gentleman, I have a situation and I need some help.
 

Hey Guys,
I was completing a trade on hisstank and ran into a snag. I mailed out a pilot firefly that came from the roc cobra gunship to a dude on monday. Here's what the message I got from him today.

"I mailed out your stuff today. I just went and got the mail out of my mail box and the Bubble mailer you sent had no figure in it. The side was split open with no figure."

Well I hate situations like this, I have dealt with a lot of you guys so you know that I'm stand up guy when it comes to deals. So natuarally I feel like I need to make this right. I told the guy I'd paypal him some funds or another figure of his choosing but he really has his heart set on the Pilot Firefly. So that's what I need guys, I need a Pilot FF with his vest and helmet. I can trade or send you some funds, but I really need this ASAP. My word is one the line and I don't like to fuck people over. So if any of you O-ringers picked up the gunship and have that FF lying around please send me a pm. You guys are my boyz so I know you will come through for me. Thanks guys.

I know I probably should not have started my own thread, but I'm really in a bind and need a timely response. I'm sure my boy G will let this slide! :D

I'm on the road for work right now, so I won't be on as much as I normally am, but I will respond as soon as I can, thanks guys.

I dunno man...help out a guy that's so into a black Ripcord?

I can hook you up. I've got the one with the red helmet, so I hope he's not too picky.
Send me your address and I can get it to you, (or him if you'd like) tomorrow (01/22).

First off blackripcord rules.
Second, thank you so much man! red helmet is cool, I'm pm'ing you now.

P.M. sent Cory!

Please. This is perfectly cool and ok. You need it now and it's an emergency.

I just hope that if Craig has problems, he doesn't make a post here while the para medics are trying to get him to the hospital. Unless of course, o-rings are the ONLY way to heal him!

Sounds to me like he's trying to pull a fast one on you....

Ya know, when I started this thread I knew you would be the only douchebag out of everyone that would have something smart to say.

Back to the topic at hand, I was able to secure the figure less han an hour after I started the thread. Thanks guys for all your help!

What's so "douchebag" about finding something suspicious about a bubble mailer being conveniently split open so the figure can just fall out any time without any mailman noticing?
It seems like he's making it up to get another free figure.


Well that's just how I am. I prefer saying smart things to stupid things.

Well Fireflyed, you do realize that Jay has to be a douchebag. He doesn't have any sort of personality otherwise. If he wasn't an asshole all he'd be able to do would be post things about his masturbatory pseudo self custom that's like a hardcore martial artist and is probably really popular!

If I had a Firefly for you, I'd send it your way, but I do not my friend!

I once received an envelope which had a split on one side, as did the little baggie inside; it was meant to be the visor for Action Force Steeler, and was being sent to me for free -- nothing to screw me over for and if it was a joke or something it meant he was out the price of a stamp for it.

I think some of the machinery the Post Office uses to sort items can occasionally cause things of odd shapes to be squeezed out of envelopes, like if it goes between some rollers because it's been sorted as a letter. Or occasionally something might get snagged somewhere and cause just enough damage for whatever's inside to work its way out.

I think your attitude towards this is admirable, fireflyed, wanting to make things right -- it's good to know there's honourable people in our collecting community!
