    We agreed on a simple trade a few weeks ago.....2 six packs of Zombie Dust for 2 4 packs of Gandhi Bot. He said he would ship the following Monday and then sends me an email on the weekend saying he had a family emergency and won't be able to ship Monday. I waited patiently since it was an emergency and told him I understood. He was grateful and said he would let me know when he would ship out. He sends me an email a week later saying he's ready to ship on Wed and then relisted the terms of the trade. Then he sends me this email the following day:

    alright so I feel like a complete dick. I was getting ready to send yours out and I got an offer for the GB there was no way I could pass it up. I no I said I would trade it to you but I woulda been a fool not to make the trade I got offered. im sorry for stringing you along, if you want I can get more gb in a week n a half. or you can just say fuck you and move on cuz I think that's what I would do.

    DO NOT TRADE WITH BOBBYPILATTI!!!! He strings you along on trades and only does what's in his best interest.

    So I assume you did not send the Zombie Dust, right? This crap happens all the time now. This takes the starch out of trading more than anything else.

    Wow. I have only been trading for a year and have seen a big change in trading. Used to be more about "I have this and you want that" and now is about this type of crap. I am so happy I have found some regular trade partners who are just into trying new stuff and far from concerned about trade value, winning trades, etc.

    It's too bad BA doesn't make you negotiate in the posts. Can send the personal info through a BM but it would prevent the whole idea of I'll wait to see if someone offers something better.

    I did a trade with him for some double dose. He shipped two days late but communicated well and said it was a problem with someone in the shipping department at his work. I didn't really think much of it because he kept communication and held up his end of the deal in the end.

    I certainly hope the deal was worth no one ever trading with him again on BA because that is what will happen from being greedy and having that feedback.

    Unreal. Good on you for leaving the negative feedback. Most people on here are scared to. Added him to my list nonetheless. Thanks for the heads up.

    A for honesty on his part but what a f'in jo move. @Bobbypilatti is now added to my do not trade list, unless of course I somehow feel like I'm winning and screwing him over.

    2 warning signs:

    (1) He spelled "know" "no"
    (2) He blamed the shipping department at his office. I'm a cheap ass, and even I struggle to trust someone (ab)using his or her office to ship personal items. There are way too many "bad trader" threads where the "secretary" gets the blame

    Wow, this is right at the top of the list of douche bag traders I have seen on here. People like this should be banned from BA. His behavior is the polar opposite of respecting beer.

    @Bobbypilatti - You should be ashamed of yourself.

    I'm having a hard time following the premise. Someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse for Gandhi Bot?

    Unfortunately backing out of agreed upon trades is becoming the norm here. That along with auction type trade threads. It's happened to me several times, what amazes me the most is the blase attitude taken by those who do it.

    It's like their word means absolutely nothing to them . I see it as a sign of the times, sadly enough.
