    Apologies, that was probably impatient of me to comment (I had just suspected you had blocked me maybe based on another comment you made earlier here about another person). Anyway, thanks for being more forthcoming and clearing things up. Thanks for voting, too. Best of luck trading in the future, I hope it goes more smoothly.

    Thanks. That's the reason I asked for the clarification. However, this is what you did tell me in several BM's, and is why I mistakenly came to that conclusion:

    "Evidently, bstyle just discovered the thread. He has been going off on me via text for over an hour, absolutely freaking out. He's being highly unreasonable, hasn't explained a thing, and just keeps demanding that I clear his name and immediately close the trade thread down. He said. He's going to ship after work, (isn't 6:30pm too late to ship?). I'm trying to explain my end and reason with him, but he's just swearing and bitching and demanding that I clear his name and delete the thread"

    "]I don't want the thread removed until I have the box in-hand. Bstyle demanded that I close the thread immediately, so to shut him up, I had to ask you, and be able to prove that I asked you to close it. That's why I didn't technically ask you in the message, and why I said, "I should be okay with closing it..." in the post where I tagged the mods"

    I'm glad to hear I was mistaken in my assumption, but based on the BM's referenced above, I think it was a reasonable inference to make.

    Since he likes being tagged so much, @bstyle where's the old tracking number?

    Bstyle is definitely going to beat up Sierra at recess tomorrow. I just hope the teachers break it up before it gets too ugly

    This guy @bstyle sounds like an epic piece of work. Personally think he should be banned but maybe that’s just me

    If the box is received, then no one deserves any punishment. I have stressed this to multiple mods. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I don't want to see anyone banned here. I'm happy just to receive the box, and put this whole mess to rest.

    You are only one trader in this community. We hear your opinion. I stand with Rauch in that jacked Stewie has earned either the ban hammer or to have his trading privileges removed.

    Nobody here should have to deal with a bad trader like this. He essentially plead guilty of being a BT by refusing to give his side of the story.

    What a roller coaster. I guess if you didn’t want this kind of attention and you didn’t want your partner to have it, then you should have worked out it privately no matter what and or with the mods.

    This is how these threads usually work. This one has been a bit more lively, but I’m not sure what you were expecting to and or wanting to happen when you decided to create this thread. It’s like, you wanted to do it, but now regret it because bstyle gave you crap for starting it even though he was the one who deserved it. Dude needs to check himself.

    Traders can quote all the stats they want, but you’re only as good as your last trade.

    This is not the first time this guys public posts differ from his BM’s. It’s starting to feel like his MO.


    Totally agree.

    After thumbing through the last few pages, I vote for lifetime bans for both parties.

    I've updated the thread title to reflect the bad trader....and yes....in my book...he is a bad trader no matter how you spin it....more importantly is the fact that the OP is ONLY GETTING HIS BOX BECAUSE OF THIS THREAD AND THE COMMUNITY'S FEEDBACK. What isn't shocking is that the trader refused to offer any explanation....go figure (silence is deadly). You are only as good as your last trade @bstyle You dont get an "entitlement" pass based on previous trades.

    And because my hunch is that no feedback will be left and no trade request will be accepted to leave negative feedback....the thread title will remain so traders can reference.

    Cheers!

    @SierraNevallagash I guess what is confusing is your stance on opening this thread, I don't know if you keep backtracking because you are scared you won't get your box or for some other reason (ass kicking at recess). I guess that is what has caused this thread to go off the rails as it is flopping around from one extreme to the other. The thread should have been opened, the bad trader should have come here to address your (and others) concerns to the community and you should never feel like backing down. Seriously, if you having to shut this thread down to get your box is the only way it works, F him and the $100 of beer you lost. Burn his account and move on.
    That said I hope it works out, and the box lands on your porch. Just reading thru all these threads I have never seen anyone so understanding of the other party's bullshit.

    Look dude. I don’t mean this facetiously/negatively. But you seem like a “good vibes don’t want to rock the boat” to an extreme extent type of guy. And that’s fine - everyone is different.

    But - perhaps understandably - you’re not able to look at this whole thing with anything approaching objectivity.

    Unless the guy either a) comes on here with screenshots that paint an entirely different story (0.001% chance) or b) comes on here with a genuine apology (and by god at this point it would have to be one of the best pieces of writing in existence) then the guy is a bona fide douche, deserves to be black listed, and is not remotely close to being a friend.

    Here are the facts:
    • trade set up via system following proper protocol
    • you sent your stuff two months ago
    • he has given you the run around for two months
    • a box is only on its way because of this thread
    • the guy comes on here and acts untouchable because he’s done 200 trades (presumably the other 170 being on Instagram or whatnot) - zero remorse or explanation
    • the guy is bullying you on the side to have this thread taken down
    Don’t you see/get it? I don’t know what you’re worried about. If you don’t get what’s been promised keep using this thread. There are some enterprising individuals on here who will make sure he ultimately delivers. I think you have to understand that this guy is no friend / relationship is done, with or without the thread. At least with the thread you get your beer and the community at large knows we have a prick in our midst.

    I get the impression that if the entire contents of the private message thread was divulged here, we might understand more why he was not only hesitant to open the thread or tag the BT, but why there was either miscommunication, misunderstanding, or very little concern on the BT's part regarding the timing of the shipment.

    Long posts lacking real details.... delay to call out the bad trader/great friend.... requesting post closed after trader called out but before beer lands.... tagging 4 mods.... These are not ways to minimize drama.

    The reason you are on peoples DNT list is because you are insufferable Sierra. Not because you didn’t uphold the trading requirements. And if @bstyle doesnt provide the tracking info for the exception shipping attempt, then I think he is a clear bad trader. The threatening and anger over text is insane. He seems like a cool friend.
