Trading Pet Peeves

Folks who post a IP Trade when visiting a certain city and only looking for one beer that wasn't even available in that area when it was released.

 

Somebody who posts the same ISO:FT every day for a week, or a month, or a year.

On the other hand, I tip my hat to the thoroughly professional troll of this trader. That was damn funny, & you know who you are.

 

It's been a pleasure to see!

 

This wouldn't happen to be a certain regional IP trade would it?

 

This is a new pet peeve
When you are in the middle of a trade and the you get radio silence for 18-24+ hours.
Or when you are stuck in between, your trade partner is REALLY busy with work/life and is this trade going to end in the other forum....

 

Packing peanuts! I hate them there messy hard to clean up a big pain in the ass to deal with! Newspapers real what a cheap scape to use! Bubble wrap everything put in zip lock bags use it not expensive and if u trade enough your just sending it back and forth...

 

This has happened to me 3 times in the last 2 months. I am just about to quit. It is so rude.

In one case, it was a pre-release trade. Suddenly, he says he lost interest in stuff that he selected. "Lost interest"? And then he fell off a cliff. He is online everyday but doesnt want to respond.

 

When people message me and give me a hard time for "diminishing the value" of the beer I'm putting up for trade because they don't think I'm asking for enough in return. Firstly, worry about your own trades, not mine. Second, don't be so god damn worried about "winning" trades.

 

I know exactly what you did to cause that...haha!!! I wish I could have gotten to your offer first!!!

 

I always thought a beer was worth whatever the person trading it thinks it's worth, I guess others disagree.

 

Must be a increased rash of this going around recently, same here, online engaging in convos, not bothering to send a simple reply. I really hate to stereotype, but the last three times it happened to me, all traders with < 5 trades.

Also, side note, I cant stress this enough, no one wants to trade their KBBS/VR/SR-71 for several cans of weekly release hops or 3 bottles of Last Snow type beers. We get it. Everyone wants to try those beers, but stooooop with the silly threads.

 

So you're in the add vehicle fuel to your beer camp?

 

Can't forget his insurance premium and wear on the vehicle per mile. It adds up quick!

 

Thankfully that isn't the case for all De Garde traders or I would probably have never tried them.

 

I will echo others sentiments regarding non responding beer messagers. It shouldnt take someone more than a moment to respond. Is this a generational/ Millennial problem?

 

Oh yea blame the millennials. God that gets so old maybe they are just dicks or don't see it as high value to respond as you do, who cares how old they are. Dang wimpersnappers get off my lawn.

Lol I'll respond tomorrow when I have a few more minutes to engage in conversation .
Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.

Im 30 btw... I think the term it includes me.
