    Was just going to get some cans from Tampa Bay Brewing, Intra Coastal, whatever Hidden Springs cans he had access to distro wise. Just a local for local random assortment.

    Why is this sketchy?

    I would assume it's because other members have requested for you to post detailed conversations from private messages/texts/etc so everyone can paint a bigger picture of what went wrong. It's pretty common to do such things when these threads arise.

    Definitely the slowest moving one.

    He did:
    I saw the conversations (and was the one who reported them because they had a lot of personal information in them) and they confirmed @riversideak's account. Obviously the bad trader in question never came here to explain, nor does it look like he ever shipped his part of the trade. At this point, I would imagine the bad trader gets the boot?

    The only fault of @riversideak here was to send the beer so quickly and somehow forgetting about reading up on the latest Rules/Do’s and Dont’s for being a trader. It’s forgivable since he hasn’t traded here in a decade.

    Also, you have (had) a right to browse and use RB, we are not at war with other beer sites tbh, people use whatever they want as long as they don’t disparage BA elsewhere...

    Last but not least this is not looking too good for RLew13 who has done his best to ignore both the OP and the community.

    And as such has just been banned from the site.

    if it's never formally made to a trade is that the case?

    Not sure I understand your question?

    The conversation made it clear the parties agreed to a trade, exchanged personal information and intended to complete a trade. Given that evidence coupled with the bad trader's failure to either make good or come here and provide a reason, I think its pretty clear this was a bad trader regardless of whether the trade was requested and accepted through the system here. (and regardless, its clear it was negotiated through BA). While that should be done, in this case, I think the evidence supported him being banned. To keep the account on a technicality would be a mistake.

    just asking for clarity I agree that it was more or less a full on trade, just seems a lot of these posts share this same issue

    This comment has almost nothing to do with this thread specifically, but...

    I’ll never understand how someone can just shit all over someone like what we see in these threads where people accept beer but never send it back. In my mind, the only way I can rationalize it is that these people are addicts, which I am sure is not true. But without that, I just don’t understand the predatory behavior. It’s foul.
