Need feedback on this situation

Enough. This thread is just turning into a name calling dialogue at this point, and IMO no longer serves any useful purpose.

@Jag237. Are you satisfied with how this has played out now? Assuming what @LGHT has said is accurate with respect to what he plans to send you, are you fine with that?

From a Bad Trader standpoint, I don't feel @LGHT's actions qualify. Yes, losing one box in the mail and then sending a second box with a leaky bottle sounds shaky, but at least it sounds like he's now taken responsibility for what transpired and he's doing his best to make amends. Apparently, to the satisfaction of the OP (at least that's the impression I have from his most recent posts). Also, unlike most BT threads I've read over, the perpetrator in this case has generally stayed in contact with the OP; hasn't ghosted him or tried to shift the blame; and has even participated in this thread and attempted to explain his actions. IMHO, that's to his credit, regardless of some of the things he may have said and done elsewhere.

@Jag237. I'll leave this thread open until you tell me you feel it's appropriate to close it. In other words, I'll leave it open until you've been made whole or until you feel you've received sufficient guarantees from @LGHT that you're no longer worried about getting the beer you were promised.

 

Understood. How do you want to proceed? He says he doesn't have any Hypesmash for trade at this point. Based on some of the commentary in this thread, it sounds like this should be a beer he could obtain without much difficulty, but for whatever reason, it sounds like he's unable to come up with a bottle for you.

According to his post, he's going to send you back one of the bottles you sent him, along with a bottle of the cryo. He also stated he's going to send you a refund for the purchase price of the other bottle you sent him (that he drank). Does that sound reasonable to you?

I can certainly understand you wanting to wait until you've actually received all those items from @LGHT. Once that happens though, will you be satisfied, or is there something further you feel he's obligated to do for you.

 

I'm not going to address the allegations of lies about beers he had or didn't have in his possession, or some of the other claims regarding his behavior in this thread. However, this is my interpretation of what transpired.

Both parties agreed to trade certain bottles, and it sounds like they both shipped around the same time. At some point the OP contacted @LGHT and informed him he hadn't gotten his box yet. Based on information supplied by the OP, it sounds like the USPS somehow lost the box. Upon being notified of this, it sounds like @LGHT immediately agreed to send another box with different beers. Unfortunately, when the box arrived, one of the beers wasn't what was promised and it was leaking. My feeling is that the reason this happened is irrelevant. Regardless of the reason, @LGHT still owed the OP another bottle. According to the OP, he was supposed to receive a Cryopreservation, but instead received a leaking bottle of concentrated solution. According to the OP, @LGHT subsequently did agree to "make it right." The only other information I can see about this latest permutation, is in a subsequent post from @LGHT. He pointed out the following:

"4. Obviously he is upset and felt like he loss on the trade so I replied with:

"If you are feeling like you lost on the trade I would be more than happy sending a 5th bottle and your original bottle back. My apologies again, but I drank 1 of the bottles already, but I would be more than happy to send the 2nd back with the cryo and refund you for the first. Like I said it's only beer so let me know if that works for you and if you are upset please give me a call on my cell."

5. So I get another message saying:
"You don't really have to go through all that. I kind of just want the Cryo that was offered and for you to pack the box instead of pawning it off on someone that I have no communication with. If that means it takes a few extra days I'm fine with that."

Since he's upset that I had my assistant pack the box and she screwed it up I agreed to send him the Cryo along with his original veil bottle he sent back. The box will be going out shortly."


So assuming this is accurate, the OP will now get the promised second replacement bottle, along with one of the bottles he originally sent to @LGHT, along with possibly a refund for the bottle @LGHT drank.

What am I not seeing? What is there about @LGHT's actions that you feel is deserving of a BT thread?
