Hello,

Problem is that I do not have a dirt thrasher for trade. Never did. The headers from the received message match the headers from a test 'contact member' that I sent to myself. If the sender didn't mention what they were talking about, I would not know..

I don't suspect any foul play, looks like a simple bug. I don't think the 'contact member' page easily allows you to specify something from someone else's showroon, even if you wanted to..

I have been getting these also. The message will read for a trade item that is not mine. I think it is some sort of bug. Chris?

lol - could well be. Its only been like that for a month and you two are the first to spot it.

Will get on to it.

BTW is the dirt thrasher still for trade? []

cheers

Chris

I would call this "Shill Trading" --when one person with the power to control said site, floods the trade one with items driving down its price. Then he contacts the real one and buys it. I see what your game is Chris.

....If it weren't for you meddling kids and your dog. I know know we heard it all before. The real question is who are you really Mr. Netsmith or should I say Mr. Shunsaku Tamiya? Teasing people with a website with vintage tamiya cars and not re-releasing the 3spds.

If it wasn't for Scooby and special guest star Al Ernat finding your secret tunnel from Nottingham, England to Shizuoka-City, Japan; you'd be still at it.
