    @eisebeer Although I can sympathize with you getting screwed over. Sometimes the approach people take in calling someone out, whether right or wrong, often leads to peeps not trading with them (OP) either. The old adage "you get more bees with honey" approach definitely works or rather the *James Dean* level headed, cool, and calm approach. I'm not saying you shouldn't be upset or for that matter...pissed off. But showing emotion over the internent without being able to visually see their *facial expressions* or hear their *tone of voice* can sometimes have the wrong effect when telling a story or "your side". Everybody handles things differently, I get it...to each their own. Also, a more *detailed* description of the events (dates, messages, etc) would also help your cause. I agree that just because it wasn't official through a trade request, doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to *warn* the community of a BA on this site not fulfilling their end. Kudos for doing that!!

    I also find it disturbing that @Amarangakis hasn't chimed in after being tagged multiple times. This isn't like you are in front of millions of people giving a speech. Type something on a keyboard while watching "Judge Judy", but silence on this matter will surely lead to a black hole.

    I feel like most of these threads involve someone who hasn't been around in a while... @Amarangakis you've been actively trading/posting and know this thread is here. Make it right dude

    I get it, and I'm not trying to be a bully. Everyone would not have a great thing to say or act if they worked hard for what they got, then have it stolen. I feel no sympathy for people that cheat out others. And I have a great trading record, and hope everyone out there would still like trade with me

    Definitely two sides to every story, but he has 6 open trades right now and 1 pending. That's a lot of unfinished activity that needs to be addressed. I sure hope he responds so that no one else gets screwed out of beer.

    Since there are so many open trades and a pending trade with Amara- Is there any way to send this post to those people so they can at least request he sends first or something? It might be too late for some, but its worth a shot.

    There is no way, but since @F2brewers pasted this link to @Amarangakis profile , we hope the people see it.

    I'm very sorry for the delay but the box is going out today with everything agreed on. I will send him the tracking directly.

    And there you have it, sometimes it takes a little grease to get the motor working, even though it shouldn't.
    @eisebeer let us know if you get your box please.

    Being late way 100% my fault. All I asked OP was to please be patient but it escalated immediately. I would never steal from anyone, all I asked him was to stop being a pest.

    I think a lot of this could have been avoided if you had come on and said everything before. Changing to private didn't help your case either. All that matters here it the OP gets his beer and he is happy, you will have to build up your reputation over time again.

    An example of getting something if you are nice about it can come from @d3swim
    He asked if I can get it to him by this Friday so I paid to expedite shipping.
    Learn from this guy @eisebeer be nice dude

    I don't think you have much of a leg to stand on to be scolding anyone here, man. Maybe he was "bugging" you more than you felt was reasonable, but if you had lived up to your end of the deal in the first place, there wouldn't have been an issue.

    I still think the trade system should have been used. Are we going to start posting about Facebook trades gone bad??

    I remember telling you I WAS a patient person, but saying to me over and over that you are sending was getting out of control. You left me no choice to start this thread.

    As of June 16, sub-forums are supported in the app ... but you don't get any alerts when people tag you in a post, etc.

    And if the trade system wasn't used, this thread shouldn't exist.

    Please DO NOT take it down.

    "Rules" should not be iron-clad absolutes. These two traders met on BA, used the system the first time, & then one trader sought to abuse the OPs trust by going around the system.

    The OP made a mistake by not using the system, but I, & many others, appreciate him warning the community about a trader not coming through on his obligations. Taking it down would only serve to remove a tool for those who will think about trading with @Amarangakis in the future.

    @eisebeer: I'm locking this down for now. @Amarangakis: We'll take the thread down once eisebeer reports that the package was received. I think this is a fair compromise.

    For everyone else: If you don't use the beer trading system, you're SOL and shouldn't be starting bad trader threads as you made the decision to not use the system. Same goes for trading with unverified users, who by default can't use the system.

    @eisebeer has reported that @Amarangakis has met his end of the deal. I'm updating the title of this thread and considering it resolved.
