Resolution to trade dispute- @Beergeeksa210

I would tag him; you've been more than accommodating by giving him as much time as you have, and his responsibility lies with following through on the trade as you have negotiated it. If he has an issue with 'forgetting' about an OPEN trade, then maybe this thread is the 'reminder' he needs to make this right finally.

 

I agree with @jolly_lynch - this person needs to be tagged. You have been more than accommodating and patient in this situation. I feel like this person knew these were beers that they couldn't easily replace and has been stringing you along hoping that they could come up them instead of just being honest and shipping you your beer back. The fact that you only got "half" of your trade over three months ago is appalling.

 

They definitely need to be tagged.

 

@Beergeeksa210 does have (8) open trades on top of it.

@blue-dream @F2brewers can either of you guys please edit the title and link to his page

 

Done and done.

@Beergeeksa210 what say you?

 

I've been keeping up with @Beergeeksa210 since he flaked on another trader I know, I would see him post ISO and FT of the same beer in different posts. I've seen him have 11-12 pending trades while still posting, so I just feel that he may have over extended himself, but no excuse for not having open and constant communication with traders and at the end of the day fulfilling every trade you make

 

Oh man, that sucks. Very sorry for the hassles.
This guy needs to drop a porch bomb overflowing with apology beers asap. 4 months to get you beers and now he stops responding? Unacceptable in every way.

 

11 or 12 trades at a time??? This trading turns into a sickness for some people. I never thought to see how many open trades a prospective trading partner has, but this maybe a good practice to look at. Would also be nice to have a feature to see who the other traders are, in a situation like this would be good to tag the other people trader in question is trading with to see if they are getting dicked too.

 

Sounds like he got over extended but that's not an excuse because plenty of people do that but still make good (including me when I started out).
The subbing 2 Provenance for a fruited sour doesn't sound right either, the 750 JK are far easier to get than the fruited sours & if he's close enough to run up to JK then he can get the next fruited sour. I'm in TX for work (~1 hr away from JK) and in 3 weeks I've been able to pick up 8 Aurelian Lure's & 2 BDBDB (so far) while staying within limits & not using mules; this is the 3rd weekend JK has had Aurelian so save Atrial & MvB he should be able to replace the Nocturn w/something similar

 

Sounds like he is trying to get out of completing his obligation, probably hoping you will accept the two replacement beers he sent as completing the trade. Hopefully this thread will motivate @Beergeeksa210 to make good. I will try to be hopeful about it.

If this doesn't work out, send me your address, I will send you some IPA as good as, or better than, Yellow Rose. (Not dissing Yellow Rose, calm down folks, I really like it, but if it was available around here it would barely be in the top 15 I can get. Seriously.)

 

Not only that but maybe a limit on open trades might be in order. I know that in this situation positive feedback was already left even though the full trade wasn't completed, but in other instances I feel like it might prevent people from having too much on their plate. Like the trader in question, if you have that many trades in the works at the same time, it becomes easier to forget about trades and space on what specific bottles you owe to whom. I think a limit of 10 open trades at a time is more than reasonable. Just a thought.

 

Amen X Ten

 

The problem with this policy would be that it doesn't account for people who don't follow through with feedback which gets stuck as a permanently open trade. I have 4 "open" trades right now but three of them are people who got their boxes long ago and don't seem to have any intention of following through with feedback.

 

This is true. I too have one open trade and the other party is slacking on leaving me feedback. Yet another issue that's been addressed but a solution still hasn't been found.

 

We get fresh shipments of Yellow Rose here in Austin weekly or sometimes every other week, so completing this trade is as simple as popping over to the store and grabbing a few bottles. No matter how overextended you might be, it doesn't get much easier than that.

Also, you got screwed by him subbing the Provenance bottles for Nocturn & Coq. Provenance are good beers, but they also distribute to shelves, so it's not an equal replacement.

If he doesn't come through and you still want some Yellow Rose, hit me up and I'll grab a few bottles for you. Ridiculous to blow a trade based on that.

 

The real question is whether or not it's too late for you to edit your feedback. I feel this definitely warrants negative feedback. Nocturn and Coquetier could easily be traded for locally so that he makes good on the original trade and, that part aside, Yellow Rose is available almost every week at the brewery.

 

Yup. And it takes literally ten seconds to give feedback. I suggest--and I'm not kidding--locking people's accounts who have one or more open feedbacks to complete in trades where the other party has completed theirs. Tough love. If you can't give timely feedback, you don't deserve the privilege of trading. Period.

Back to topic, boot this clown back to Reddit. Everything about him raises my BA ire.
