The guy joined in April and he still has Zero References. That should tell everyone all they need to know about this guy.

there are very few reasons to give someone a 4 or less on there feedback..
most trades are pretty straight forward.. it either went down smooth or it went wrong.

Setting aside the questions of what a 5 really means versus how it's used, this question really can't be answered with the information available. If the cards were sent the day after the trade and the post office took several days to deliver it, it would be pretty hard to justify giving the guy a lower ref for something beyond his control. On the other hand, if they sent out after they received, then it's a matter of whether you think they intentionally didn't mail until they received or if things just came up and they weren't able to. For instance, our post office is closed on Saturdays, and I try to avoid mailing things out on Monday because the lines tend to be extra long. If we had agreed on a trade on Thursday and I was unable to get them out on Friday, there's a good chance I'd not be able to mail out until your cards arrived. I try to let people know in that case what day I'll send, but occassionally I forget. It's just hard to answer your question when there are too many unknowns to give a realistic answer.

That said if a trader sends later I expect communication.
If a trader tells me ahead of time or quickly after, I would never give them a lesser score.

Probably never. It wasn't in the last 8 years I played.

Certainly doesn't help that there are infinity copies of it.

I remember a few Jund decks ran it, but it was still only $2-3 at most.

at what point do you start taking away feedback rating.. obviously if it goes to long it becomes bad trading.
should I still give them a 5 if I end up having to wait the whole month? isnt that a sort of loophole in the system? I can always agree to simu-send, but then just wait until I receive, since US to US mail usualy only takes a week or so.

---

Was there a DC# that it could be tracked with? If so you should be able to tell the date when he/she sent the card(s) out. As long as that send date is within a reasonable amount of time I wouldn't hold the person responsible for the mail system being delayed.

If you have proof it was actually sent I would say don't worry too much about it until at least the two week mark has passed. It could just be USPS is being extra slow with this package for some reason or another.

I'd rather buy a good car first with $20K, guns and ammo and fake IDs for $10K then go rob banks, THEN go buy that...on ebay, seperaetly so I don't have to deal with the non-playables.

Here's what I've got that you want:
Mesa Falcon #112 (x2)

I'll be happy to let you have all four for the one, if you're okay with that.
Let me know a good, cheap way to send them to you.

I don't know if they were 20 bucks, I certainly remember $15 BoP's around 5th Edition though, they were fairly valuable still when the "Fires" of Yavimaya deck was all the rage around Invasion.

When I started playing again a year and a half ago I was SHOCKED to find BoP was only worth 2-3 bucks, for most of the time I layed Magic they were a $10+ card.

Then again, I also remember Shivan Dragon being valuable.

I remember the days of Fires too, there were anywhere between 15-20.
