      That adds up to 720 dollars, I'll offer 620 dollars which leaves me some room to profit. Message me back if you're interested or if you would like to negotiate the price a little more.

      I know it's 100 dollars lower than your asking price but it's the most reasonable offer you'll receive from a trustable/verified person. If anyone offers a lot higher, probably too good to be true. Message me if someone else offers.

      I can do 650 if you can guarantee money back incase I get banned for external currency exchange. If your ok with these terms, we can deal right now.

      No, this will be my first time, that's why I wanted to do this transaction with a trusted buyer.
      How is that we can get banned for external currency exchange? How will I know that you got banned and that you are not just trying to get your money back and keep the items?

      Well i'm a verified and trusted buyer for a reason haha. It's very unlikely getting banned unless you're reckless. You have to keep transactions to a minimum and you have to make sure you don't say anything in world. They can't ban you unless they have proof. So keep your avi name off forums and make sure it has nothing to do with selling items for cash. It's basic stuff but it plays a part in safety while making these transactions. Me trying to say I got banned and getting items for free isn't worth putting my rep on the line. I'm only asking for buyer protection since the total is over 500 dollars which is a big amount. If I do get banned, I will show proof of being banned and etc. Knowing this information, would you still like to go forward with the deal?

      If you have the items ready on one account, we can start right now. Make sure you have a trading terminal in your space and send me a link when you are ready. Also provide me with your paypal email or your Bitcoin address so I can pay you once i've received the items.

      Also make sure you don't say anything in world and don't mention anything about it to anyone in world.

      sure, could we do the transactions and payment one at the time as the list goes because I feel a little nervous going with all the items at once and waiting for the payment at the end.

      We can space it out 2 weeks by 2 weeks then if you feel nervous.. Not smart doing 6-7 separate transactions in one day because that raises a red flag. So if you feel nervous about going all at once, I can buy one item per 2 weeks to prevent both of us from getting put on hold or banned. I've sold over 2,000 dollars in items on here and bought over 1000 and you can check my reps on my threads and likes from other trusted players. If even after that you don't feel safe, we can do my spaced out deal.

    Erik Machado is lying saying that his account was put on hold right after he stole my items. But as we all can see he is trying to sell my items on Facebook. What other lies will you tell now ??

    Proof that this is the acc w/ the items and that it is on hold as well. I'm obviously not going to pay you for items I can't sell. That facebook post was when I was still looking for buyers incase I got off hold, as soon as I saw what was happening on here, I deleted the post and stopped looking for buyers as I will give her back the items if I get off hold because i'm not interested in dealing with such a toxic person.

    Your pictures are proving nothing. And yes you have my things!! in your account and this might not be my things you probably have other accounts with issues and you are not paying the $650. Now be an honest person and pay i did my part now u need to do yours. I owned the items for 7 years so my items are good.

    @Erik Machado The message that says your account is on hold is a week old, but I assume this trade was done recently therefore this trade had nothing to do with you getting put on hold and is probably an alternate account.

    How long will I have to wait for help with this dispute? I need Playerup to take action for Erik Machado to pay. It is clear that he has the items and that he is lying about the state of his account.
