Trade Gone Bad

Post by rvdnsx »

I recently made a trade with someone on xbox-scene.com forums. I was trading my Microsoft XBOX system and Gamecube system straight up for a modified XBOX with a 120GB hard drive. Anyhow, me and "tommybourbon" agreed to the terms of the deal and were to cross-ship the items overnight to one another. Well of course he gets the item (which costed me $nearly $80 to overnight) and I still have received nothing. My item shipped on Wednesday, 10/6. Since it has shipped, I haven't been able to contact him via AOL Instant Messenger or by e-mail. I have retained copies of our e-mails and our AOL IM conversation. I also have a tracking number for the package I sent, e-mail addresses he provided for me. What should I do to resolve this, he didn't provide me with a phone number and he went by the name Tommy Emmons. The item was apparantly shipped to his work address:

Satellite and PC Experts
c/o Tommy R Emmons
70515 Fuschia St. #C23
Abita Springs, LA 70420

AIM Screen Name - tommybourbon26
FedEx Tracking Number - 792106691984

I will post below the copies of our emails:

Vinh,

Sounds good to me. I will be sending your package out this afternoon
via
FEDEX overnight service to your adress given.
Included in my package will be a XBOX modded by me with a XECUTER 2.3
Lite
chip, and a Western Digital 120 gb hard drive. Include on the hard
drive are
a few xbox applications( dvd2xbox, media center, etc.) and I believe it
is
12 games. i will include the wires for justein case you mighh need them
down
the road, however as you requested, no controller. I will be expecting
from
you, tommorow 10-7, a unmodded xbox as well as a indigo gamecube with
al
wires and controllers. I look forward to closing ths deal with you and
in
the future, if you ever need anything pc or satellite tv related, feel
