    Sorry to see his, Sam. Before the edit window closes, you might want to XXX out more of his name and address. More likely that your thread will survive...

    With all those excuses....I am surprised he didn't pull out the ol' "my dog ate your beer box" excuse.

    Seems like a bad trader to me. Sorry to hear about your loss, would love to crack a few w/ you soon. I'm not sure BA will like real names on there, so maybe edit that if you can.

    I'm not disputing that he's a bad trader based on the evidence, but he hasn't been on since May 2nd, so he never received your ultimatum. You may want to give him a call; let me know if you need his phone number. (I don't know the guy, but his number is publicly available.)

    Also: I heard he once traded a Twisted Spoke 15th for a Partridge.

    Really? If he has a trade to make, not being on here is not an excuse... especially for a month!

    OP, look at his postings through his profile and you can see where he has publicly posted his address and phone number.

    Seems like the computers of a lot of BAs crash mid-trade.

    While he may not have deactivated this feature, I get an email when someone contacts me on this site.

    Indeed....and if this were 1984 the computer crashing excuse would be a viable one.

    I completely agree, and it's questionable at best that his last message made it sound like the box was going out. I wouldn't hesitate to add him to the bad trader list.

    But it only takes a minute to give him a call (or contact him on facebook) and try one last time to get your box.

    EDIT: He was active on facebook within the past day, so it's unlikely he has a good reason for not shipping you your beer.

    LOLZ, computer crashed. Yeah, okay bro. Because in 2012, it's really hard to hop onto another computer and log into BA. GTFO. Bad trader, indeed. Sorry to hear about this Sam.

    Yeah his number is posted on his profile and he is probably on Facebook also. Nobody should have to go through all that. Not logging in for an extended period of time is also no excuse. This dude is a bad trader and complete douche.

    fortsambo, what beers did you lose?

    That sucks man. I never have had a problem until the end of this past year. I won a BA fantasy football league run by KeefD, and never received my box from him and 1 other BA. Boxes were supposed to out the those who won boxes at the end of January. He hasn't logged on since Feb, and I'm currently trying to find the other BA who owes me.

    Two months is just absurd. Even if those excuses are valid, he's at least an irresponsible trader. Outing him was the right thing to do.

    Dude, how is that fair? Like I meant to send that box, and I was gonna call you, but the sprint dude shut off my phone, I tried to pay the fedex guy in bottles of Darkness and he just laughed at me saying if it ain't Miller it's all Filler (if they ever use that line in the future I have it here that I totally made a terrible rhyme first), and now I can't send it to you cause my dog ate the box.

    "I'm sorry man my computer crashed and lost all info."

    Not only is this excuse ridiculous, but he likely posted it in the very same conversation string with the address sitting three posts above him.
