possible bad trader @nilesschmidt

@nilesschmidt whats your side here?

 

Not that this is an excuse or anything, but Abrasive didn't get released until Janurary and then there have been some carbonation issues with it. Especially the first few batches. Abrasive, up until very recently, was only available in Minnesota or very limited through a local store online. Chicago go it a little under 2 weeks ago, but sounds like it was limited and is pretty much gone. It maybe hitting Iowa soon, but will be limited as well. Lastly, it is done for the season, so what is out there is it.

That being said, it is still easy to get here in Minnesota. I would just ask for it with a canning date of 1/23 or later.

If you don't get it from him, let me know and I can help. I have an extra 4 pack with a canning date of 1/23.

 

In before anyone else: if you need a solid US trading partner to send Cantillion to I'm your guy!

Seriously @nilesschmidt send the dude his beer. Excuses abound it appears.

 

I visited Minneapolis last week, found Abrasive (canned 2/6) with no problems.

 

Ok, just wanted to make sure you were aware, again it is no excuse and it should have been communities, which it sounds like it was.

The issues with the early canning would range from low carb to flat and could be anywhere from no cans to all fans. I had 2 4 packs of the early canning and whike none were flat, they were under carbed. 1/23 canning has been great and actually tasted better then the previous canning. I really would ask for the 1/23 or 2/6 (or later if there are) canning of Abrasive to be sure you get not only the freshest (though abrasive holds up really well), but to also make sure you get cans with the least amount of issues.

Let me know if you need my 4 pack.

 

Ok few things here, first i spoke with you last week via BM stating that I was going to the brewery last week and would be in the twin cities area this weekend. At this point you said OK, not sure why there is an issue seeing as you knew exactly what was going on, not to mention the fact that the box is already on the way to you. Below is an exact quote from you last month


" I don't have the smallest problem with waiting for the beer, I'll wait for another two weeks and hope for better weather in your area."

Please let me know what changed?

Multiple times you have stated you were ok with waiting until I could get you fresh abrasive, and now Im being called out in a public forum where youre changing the story that I was being told?

 

lol is this serious?

 

No clue who's telling the truth here, but this sounds like it's probably just another case of one person not communicating well enough with the other.

 

So is a box headed east to Germany, or not?

Seems like some bad communication here.

If there is a box headed out, then provide some tracking, and we'll leave this open until both parties are made whole.

 

The only way to tell who's what is to post up copies of the communication. The two stories are very different at this point.

 

It is easy to get bogged down in the he said...he said. The bottom line is what fatcity said. Is the beer shipping?

 

^^^As I said above. @nilesschmidt , give us all a response here and tell us you're shipping or have shipped him the beer, then send him a PM with tracking and send him the beer he's owed. And then this is done.

Not much else to it.

 

Why are so many people concerned about a trade that is not theirs? and he already has the tracking #, its on the way, nothing more to say about that

This is so pathetic its almost funny

 

Why? Because as a community we all work together to make sure any bad apples are weeded out so people dont get ripped off. Not saying that is you, but participation by people in a community setting the standards of good trading will make for a better trading environment for everyone and hopefully limit the number of bad trades.

 

Thats a very Stogies like attitude...if you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to be defensive about.
