WHO: Alex Dachshund @ Furaffinity

WHERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/alexdachshund/

WHAT: It was agreed as a digital peice, A rave picture for a picture of one of my chars. It was so long ago I cant even remember what I wanted. :\

WHEN: About 7 months ago, here is my half: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5208869/ (NOTE: For pictures like these, I charge about 20$+)

EXPLAIN: .7 months ago, we agreed to a trade. And I finished mine, as seen above. He said He'd finish his. I kept reminding him after a month later, so I waited again... he was busy. So I was like "ok~ :3" And 7 months pass. he opens many journals stating "trades open" (I only found this one) So I reminded him again. he quickly shied out.

I dont know what to do here... X__X any help?

he offered to finish it after he finished some commsions, but he keeps taking commisions and getting backed up again.
And now because of incidents like this, I CANT do trades with strangers.

He may not have been commissioning people recently due to money troubles.

He commissioned me only 18 days ago, so it's not all that long.

Not sure how to edit*

I mean, I know things can happen, but these trades have been going on for months now.

*facepalm* I'm a bit dumb, sorry. I posted the picture 18 days ago, but it was commissioned a little while before that.

Maybe they were really recent money troubles as that's been known to happen? I don't know, I'm just trying to find sense in this situation. Maybe Alex will explain when he replies here.

I hope so, he was really nice when I was at his tinychat parties!

I did say I know that things can happen, but he "cancelled" these trades months ago, apparently, yet had money recently enough. That's not right.

Oh. Now I definitely want to hear Alex's explanation. That should be interesting.

Not to mention, that if you look through his recent enough favorites, there's quite a few commissions and who knows if some aren't done yet. Even if they're cheap, it adds up.

In the other post about him, the OP said that they're picture would cost 6$ if he could pay them instead of doing the picture. So he should have had that much.
