Bad trader? When to post it???

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

Back in August an RGVAC'er posted that he needed some parts and I
emailed him directly. We worked out a trade and I sent him the parts he
needed. It has been a month since the deal was struck, and I am left
holding the bag. Of course, The bag doesn't contain anything, because
he has yet to ship his end of the trade.
Here is the funny part. I mistakenly forgot to put a few of the parts
in the box (large box). Found them a few days later, and went to email
the guy. In the mean time, he had recieved the box, and sent me an
email wanting the other parts. HE STILL HASN"T SENT ME ANYTHING BUT
WANTS THE REST OF THE TRADE??? Excuse was he was out of town, and oops,
here they are... I made a mistake and will be forwarding the other
parts along as soon as (if ever) the parts I traded for show up.
Here is the question, how much should we give someone before posting to
the group to warn others?
BTW, I called him, he answered, then said let me call you back in 15...
No return call.
You all know who he is, but I thought I would get suggestions on time
frames before I write him off.

If he doesn't get a hold of you after this thread then he should anticipate
a bad trader post coming up anyways.
