    ISO was a case of FBS

    I read my heart out on the etiquette of trading. I shipped telling Fedex my package was 16lbs, it's more like
    Weight 59.4 lbs

    Did I do good boss? =P

    Awesome, you ripped off FedEx, you should be proud of yourself.

    While I tend to fudge the numbers a little myself, that's a pretty extreme difference. They'll most likely reweigh and charge you the correct weight/price for this shipment.

    Actually, they will see the huge difference between your proposed weight and the actual weight, and tear open the box to see what you are trying to hide.

    FedEx always weighs the boxes I bring in and adjust. Maybe it's just the stores around me, but they have never just taken my word for it, probably because it takes them literally two seconds to weigh it themselves right there at the counter.

    Yeah I know they'll weigh it, I'm expecting it.. mostly because I already told the driver about it. I'm horrible at guessing weight, I just thought it was funny. I really tried to guess correctly, but this just completed life. I had a good laugh, then drank some Celebration.

    On a side note, I was pleased with the entire send. I hope the recipient is, building a good rep is important to trading, and I'm in it to win it!

    Saying you are "in it to win it" will not help build a good rep. Juuuust an FYI.

    Well.. take it how you want. The rep will be built with trading and not some stupid forum comments.

    Absolutely, I agree that rep is built by making good trades. But stupid forum comments will hurt your chances at getting people to trade in the first place. Not criticizing you, just offering up some advice. Cheers.
