Traders Backing Out Of Agreed Trades

More words than I would have used but so I understand:

Today your stance is he is not a bad trader but you claim he backed out of a trade after asking you to purchase bottles for an agreed upon trade that had not been logged in the trader feedback system. Right?

 

Shit I just realized I owe @UcDru a box from fantasy football. Maybe I am a bad trader

 

I have read exactly one post in this thread prior to posting this.

Two points to consider:
1) Screenshots or it didn't happen.
2) No one wants to trade you rare lambic for shelf haze.

 

Here we go... basically feel like I’m being harassed at this point. Never said I was backing out, I can not ship right now for personal reasons. I said I’d circle back when things clear up. Sorry I can’t give you a definite timeframe at this point.

 

I’ll trade you whatever he offered plus a four pack of yellow rose for whatever y’all “agreed” upon

 

I'll see this and raise any four bottles from the gas station down the street from me, but they can't be too expensive and I won't buy them until you've shipped.

 

It’s called the locals and it actually happens all the time.

 

In for locals

 

@Skrip for clarification: did you reject the trade request?

 

What’s the 1st rule about the Locals?

 

yes it was sent recently and I didn’t want it to expire before we were able to ship.

 

Very pertinent question, because as I see it, the poll at the top of the thread is disingenuous at best. After reading the preamble, it's clear the poll is inapplicable to the situation because an agreed upon BA trade means the official trade request is sent out and accepted.

And I see that Skrip has responded he did decline it.

Personally I don't go out and buy beer specifically for a trade without an accepted trade request, unless I know I'd drink it in lieu of the trade regardless.

 

This trader is also offering beers FT that aren’t in his possession yet and that he knows he might not obtain, so I don’t think you’re going to find much common ground on that point...

 

He rejected the trade request. Drink what you bought or post a trade for what you were hoping for. The end.

 

It’s only gay if there’s eye contact?

 

To repeat myself from yesterday: I was referring to this...

“I think a lot of people don't understand that sometimes it simply isn't appropriate or even feasible too. Really big releases especially. Are you familiar with Allagash Coolship Bardus? 600 bottle limit, 1pp (changed), and a crazy rush of people. If you offered someone a trade for a beer like that, and opened a trade request before going, and the bottles sold out before your number, then you'd be at fault for finalising a trade without the beer in-hand. Even releases like Swish - right now, they're doing preorders with limited quantities, and they sell out in minutes of going live. I promised a Swish trade to someone, and even hovering with my credit card, it sold out before I could purchase it.”
