Please add this person to the list of BAD TRADERS This person posted two auction (1) for Osito (2) for Spangle they were both pre sales to be delivered by August 17th or guaranteed you money back. I won both auctions #1 for $82.00 and #2 for $46.13. Osito was delivered with a badly bent heart tag shipped without a tag protector and Spangle was never delivered at all. She asked that half the money be sent up front and the other half when see received the bears. When the auction deadline was over for spangle I asked that she please refund my money I did get an apology for the delay and I never heard from her again that was the end of August. I NEVER GOT my Spangle or my refund, she also said she would get me another Osito and exchange the one she sent with this bent tag, I paid 80.00 for that Osito you would think she would have taken the time to put a tag protector on it. Thank you so much for answering my email. Michelle Lastrapes

Response to cautionlist from: Hugo12@pacbell.net

I did not set out to take advantage of anyone. I was out of town when Osito was shipped to her. I am going to replace the Osito, I have been checking in the stores out here, but no one has gotten them in. or by the time I get there they are gone. I have never experienced this problem before. This is the first and last time I ever sell anything on the internet. I was burned a few times, and I know how it feels I would never do that to another person. As for Spangle she sent me half of the money. If she wants Flutter I have that for her she did mention she would except one of the new ones instead of Spangle. I will personally send that to her, because I found out the hard way that I should not trust someone else to send the beanies for me. Every since TY announced that all beanies will be retiring it is hard to get Osito or Spangle and I never seen any of the new ones in the stores yet except for Flitter and Lips. I am very sorry for the incovenice this may have caused her.

Update from: lastra@pacbell.net

Thank you so much for emailing Claire you did manage to get a response from her. I DO NOT want the flitter I would like my money back for the Spangle as promised. This what her Auction read in the part where it says "SELLER'S FULL DESCRIPTION OF ITEM" SPANGLE is our AMERICAN bear isn't she just beautiful. This a PRESELL for SPANGLE OUR AMERICAN BEAR. I expect to start delivering by July 20 if you don't receive her by August 17th you may request for a refund. Highest bidder will pay 50% of the winning bid 10 days after auction close. The remaining balance is due when SPANGLE is ready to be shipped to her new home. SPANGLE will be sent via priority mail w/insurance. She will be sent tag protected. Shipping is $4.05 including insurance. Please pay by postal money order. Thank you and Good Luck  I complied with the rules of the auction, she did not, I  asked for my money back long after the 17th because I was trying to give her a chance to ship Spangle when she didn't I asked for my money back and I never heard from her again I also made many attempts after that to contact her and there was no answer. I'm asking for $23.07 is that so hard for her to do?  This is just for the record, she never offered me any thing Flitter or any thing else, when I asked for my money back she just stopped emailing me or answering any email I sent. And on the Osito she told me she was running late for work and her sister was the one that mailed the Osito without the tag protector she explained when she returned from work she found the protector on the table, nothing about being out of town.

I have still received nothing from her.I did email her again in a plea to please return my money that I sent for Spangle that was on Monday and I still have not received a reply or anything from her. I was very nice about asking I don't want her to know how I really feel. Michelle Lastrapes P.S. Please send suggestions on what I should do next as far as taking action. Thank you

Cautionlist got nothing but excuses and promises but she did not refund her money or replace the non mint tagged beanie.
