    I try not to put too much public info on profiles. I like most styles, but have a particular love for IPAs. I wasn't after anything in particular with this trade, he actually reached out to me for this trade.

    How did you find that? All I see when I check his feedback is 2, both positive. One from myself and one from @Cberry373.

    For anyone following along, I have reached out to him via Reddit and Untappd and have not gotten a response. Via some Google sleuthing, I believe I have found his email address, phone number, and alternate address(best guess is he had me ship to his parents address). Not sure if it would be too stalker-ish to reach out to him via phone or email though.

    Click on the actual user profiles to see the feedback he left for those people/him. You’ll see your other trade feedback there.

    Click on @Cberry373 and look at his feedback.

    I’ve traded with @Cberry373 before, good guy, sorry to drag him in this but it’s for a good cause!!

    @Cberry373 hasn't been seen in months so I doubt we’ll get anything there, unfortunately.

    Also, the feedback on that trade is so odd. Both leave positive feedback, but one person says nothing was traded? Wild.

    Ah gotcha. That was a feedback he left for someone, not one left for him.

    Not stalkers at all. Personally, I'd reach out via email first though. Less confrontational.

    Thanks FBarber. I think I'll take your advice and shoot him an email and see if it draws a response.

    Has he been active on any of the other social media since he ghosted you on here?

    He was checking in the beers OP shipped him on Untappd. :grimacing:

    While you wait for what appears to be the inevitable (unfortunately), by chance you mind sending me a pm with your info and styles guideline?

    Oh and the above was more of a statement than a request if that helps any ....

    Ya I saw that, it's definitely a bad look. But then it seemed like there was some communication between them because of the "theft" delaying the shipping and then he dropped off the radar. Just curious if they have been active elsewhere and just avoiding ba or if they have dropped.off all the social media in this time

    That is the most recent activity I have been able to find from him as well. I have reached out to him via email and so far no response, but has only been a bit less than 24 hours as of now.

    I hate to say it, but there have been BT threads in the past where the BA in question had something life altering happen - at least 2 I'm aware of. Really hope that's not the case here.

    Not a whole lot of things will make a younger person completely stop posting to all social media for weeks...

    @FBarber and all,

    I just got back from a party and at 2am here I am pretty exhausted. I just read the thread though,

    - The snow excuse would be lame. It's been indeed a pretty mild winter even in Chi-town and around beside a snowstorm here and now.

    - He is browsing Untappd AND checking in the beers the OP has sent him (!) while he seemingly didn't send the OPs promised box.

    - Hasn't been online on BA in nearly three weeks.

    This reeks of BT or plain thief. He's active elsewhere online so it's not like he was hit by a bus three weeks ago.

    Lots of BS from that guy and I doubt he'll explain his side of the story.

    @Todd tagged so he knows too.
