    We have a Bad Trader List - why not a Good Trader List? Give people a place to post their positive experiences with traders.

    There is usually a post like NBO: yada yada. Or Blank BIF sign ups. Look out for those!

    Psh, it would just be a massive amount of work to handle and do properly, and create another potential source for drama!

    ...forget I said anything! :grinning:

    I have been around since 2008 like the OP. I am cynical and jaded about today's trade forums like lots of long timers but in my 5+ years here I have gotten to know so many great people and traders, my cup runneth over!

    Karma is real and it usually comes to you with long time trading partnerships. I will name a bunch of god ole karma boyz (in no particular order) tewaris, shmeal, 7ways(I hear you are coming out of retirement! Woot!), bombadil, johndoe8(king karma), dudeabide, alexander(sorry, I lost your dog), oldport(we have only traded once but you are a cool cat and do a great job w/ bad trader list) and Bcgabbo! I would feel like a heel if I did not mention my hardcore group of tasting buds (camil1mj, tjohn2401 and wintbs379) beer brought us together but we are now great friends.

    OK, I feel all ickey after being sweet and sappy:confused: I need to post something snarky, sarcastic and pointless.

    My 1st trade was completed this week, as I received my box yesterday.
    My 2nd trade began today, as I sent out my box just now.

    I am obsessed. I'm pretty sure I enjoy sending moreso than receiving. :slight_smile:

    I have been a long time lurker around here. Have finally just said eff it and have been getting involved.

    Have traded twice now and have been more than satisfied.

    DrHopHead sent me a BM about a post I made with a want. And we had a smooth transaction with plenty of communication.

    Badb_rad hit me up also with something I was looking for that he had an extra of. I tried my best to make it worth his while.

    And now currently have a trade going that I turned the tables and contacted my new trade partner with a want of theirs. I decided to crush his doorstep with a 28 pounder ! :grinning: it just feels good to make someone beer happy!

    Tomorrow will be Christmas Corey ! :slight_smile:

    I just had the latest campaign of a multi year escalating battle land on my porch. This will not go unanswered, I can assure you.

    I haven't been here long but I have had such great experiences.

    JakeT469 helped me through my first trade and hit me with some killer extras, TIMMYJ21 & makdeco both sent me Heady as extras in simple, small trades and mtbdonn has been nothing but fantastic - we're three trades deep so far and setting up a fourth next month.

    Then there's local guys like itsthepleats who revealed some secret spots in town for tracking down a beer I was dying to get and TurdFurgison who hooked me up with beers from his personal stash when I missed out at a release.

    Oh and most recently beernads hit me with a Huna in a Noob BIF!

    It's been real good!

    I ran an LIF where Bread was getting beer, kind of a thank you LIF for the Sandy Hook LIF. In mine the winner and Brad would get a box from me and the winner also would send a box to Brad. Wouldn't you know Brad poked around and got my address and sent me a box that arrived the same day his box arrived, I will have my revenge for that one. And gpawned is cool as well and was the winner of the LIF and will be getting his box shortly. Of course everyone that got involved just wanted Brad's address and some of them may have:wink:

    Such a wonderful feeling.
    I (don't really) wish I wasn't headed out of the country in a little over a month so I can continue trading. Alas, my flights are booked and my wallet is tight, therefore I will receive only one more box before my trip.

    However, once I return from my backpacking 'venture, I am going to dive right back in. Maybe join one of the IT trade groups to give that a whirl.

    Thank you to the BeerAdvocate community for welcoming me to your forum, and accepting me as a noobie trader. Looking forward to working my way up to a novice trader with you guys.

    I'm fortunate to have a number of awesome trade partners, locally and not so locally. The best part about trading is that I've made a number of very good friends out of it. Totoropanda, Evilc, thebeerbug, cosmicevan, dtmets, speedwayjim, Jbuddle, Sean and mike, I'm sure I'm leaving people out. You guys are awesome!

    jaispoann has really outdone himself...what turned out to be him looking for CCB regulars has turned into a relationship that will continue for quite some time. in december he searched all day for me 2 cherry ryes and 2 BCBCS stouts...i sent him a whole case of hopslam last week and he said a mystery box was coming and it came today: 6 nugget nectar and great lakes edmund fitzgerald...which i might add was a box that was not planned..i cant wait to repay him with some phenomenalbeers to get back even....

    on a side note, all the traders i have dealt with have been top notch. i just hope the boxes i have sent have been the same way. generous extras (especially sliks) as well as great packing. in the 30 trades ive done, only 2 bottles have broken and it wasnt the fault of the trader (ive sent way worse boxes packed and they made it lol).
