WTF...that's shitty.

 

I hear you on just beer, but I think people that pull that kind of crap, suck.

 

Wow!! That’s some bush league shit right there. I mean you asked for something and got it and now you backed out. Ban everything not beer but this is ok?

 

Exactly. At least own up to it in a private message. "Sorry, I got cold feet..." I'd give someone a little (very little) bit of credit for that, but this route, really poor form.

Anyone recall the username? I'd like to add to my DNT.

 

Accountability is enforced by disclosing his username here. Helps us all know not to deal with them in the future.

 

No worries. I recall the avatar. Unless he changes that and his username, I’ll remember it if/when he pops up again.

 

Isn't a trade formalized by accepting a trade through the trading system? Agree they should have just messaged you saying they changed their mind but I thought that was the system on BA.

 

There was no formal agreement from what I can tell. This is how I understood how it went down: @wesmilligan replied to the unnamed OP’s thread that he could satisfy the trade and he messaged him privately. The user never responded to the messages and deleted the thread.

Maybe no big deal to some, but a lot wrong with it imo.

 

@WolverineFan1243
Like @MattOC said if he had at least pmd saying he changed his mind or “couldn’t “ do it for whatever reason that would have least be something. The OP just didn’t respond and deleted the post.

 

If the 2 traders are talking about trading.

• To finalize a trade.
• One trader should say something along the lines of okay everything sound good with the trade?
• Outline the what’s being traded. This for that.
• (If all good) go ahead and send a trade request.
• When the trader clicks on agree to trade request “it’s on.”
• If they don’t click on it then it’s still up in the air, is my understanding.

I re-read what’s going on here a couple times to follow..

My understanding the trader was talking about trading, then bailed before agreeing to the trade?

If so, meh... Poor form, but eh... call it a day and on with the next trade.

Maybe I’m missing something.. Idk..

All I know is that I’m looking forward to Continuance myself.

Cheers

 

I get what you’re saying, and your interpretation isn’t “wrong” per se, but I think many people would also consider a trade “closed” if you and I were to go back and forth, agree on terms, and you say “Okay I agree to trade X beer for your Y beer. Let’s do it,” and I agree to it. But if you/others think the trade button function is there to clear up discrepancies, I get it even if I don’t totally agree.

However, the real answer here is just to make the person in question both so that (1) they can tell their side of the story and (2) so that others can choose not to trade with them going forward if they lean towards my interpretation of “closing trades” and want to avoid them.

 

Yep, sounds good. I agree with you too.

Cheers
