*Bad Trader List Update* TIMMYJ21

What a dick.

 

D to the Bag. Thanks for your continued hard work on this Old Port. Appreciate it.

 

Not cool at all for a Minnesota BA to turn to the dark side; didn't think I'd see it with the good beer people we have up here. Shame on him.

 

this trully bums me out.

 

Someone tried to trick Timmy into breaking the site's trading rules. Got served!

Great example of why you shouldn't trade for money. But if you're going to... man... cash up front.

 

Over $33. Seriously.

 

Sorry, I wasnt being clear there - I can't believe the guy blew his rep over $33.

 

So my story with this guy goes as follows. Him and I made trade quite some time ago, I cannot remember exact details but BCS was supposed to be included in my box. Obviously I didnt get it or I wouldnt be posting here. Anyway, I messaged him about it and told him that it wasnt in the box and he replied with oh shit sorry man. So I said no big deal dude, just send it next time or better yet when its released again help me out and try to snag some for me and I would pay him. Well months go by and BCS has been released and I was iso of it. I remembered about this and decided to send him a message about it and asked if he happen to come across any in his area. He said not yet but would keep an eye out for me. He then asked me if I would mule him some pliny, no problem. I aksed him to paypal me and then he said he would hold off for now. He messaged me a few month ago saying he had some bcs for me and asked for an address and said it would be going out soon. I said awesome and thanked him. To this day still nothing.

In all reality its not that big of a deal, but the point is this guy has been really flakey. I just figured Id add here to it and let you know you werent the only one. And IIRC this guy also was 3-4 months late on getting someone a box before, but could be mistaken.

 

It just seems to me that this guys is a d-bag and one should be very skeptical when trading with him.

Next time BCBS comes around shoot me a BM and I'll grab a bottle for you if you are still interested.

 

Apparently he'll make good on some trades:

Have to say after reading this thread, I feel lucky. Being relatively new on here, TimmyJ21 was my first trading partner in January. He asked for me to ship first, which I understood, and did right away. It did take him a couple of weeks to get my shipment out, he said he wanted to ship the "freshest" Surly that he could. I was a little nervous it being my first trade, but it the end I feel he came through. More beer and extra's than I expected. Solid trade in my book. Sorry to hear about your bad trade/experience. =(

 

Well I guess I will respond, This is taken care of as of last week.

 

BCBS 2012? If yes, how much do you want?

 

To both who have message me about it, not to worry I have tons! I figured I would just share my experience is all. Thank you both though.

 

I figured, no one should be wanting for BCBS 2012 this year. There was enough to share with everyone in quantities.

 

Um, California traders still want for it, soooo.... yea

 

GA traders still want some also!!!

 

So he can't redeem himself and get off the BTL?

 

I would hope not.

At best what the list can do in my opinion is give you a heads up to tread with care if you decide to make a trade with somone on the list. Being on the list does not ban you from trading.

I'd like to know if someone had to be outted in the past to ship, etc.
I would choose not to trade with them, but if they were erased from the BTL and the threads got deleted I would not have all the information I "COULD" have had before making a decision.

Some current good traders may really be bad traders that "life" just has not happened to yet.
Your true colors come out when you have to decide to honor a commitment or not (even over the interwebs).
This happens over and over...

Trading is enough of a gamble dealing with all the travel and handling of the package even if nothing else goes wrong. I do not want to have to worry that my partner just lost his job or similar and decided "fuck it, life happened!" after I shipped.

 

Pictures or it didn't happen!!!

 

You have to stick to the agreement whether it's $33 or $3, doesn't matter.

 

Sad to see this thread. I've traded with TIMMYJ21 four times now and each time he's been solid on communication and shipping. Crazy good hookup and always shoots out the freshest stuff possible. Solid trader all around despite the listing.

Sucks that things went down the way they did, but it seems like an exception not the rule.

Glad to see he made it right.

 

A man is sitting at a bar, drinking, and he says to no one in particular, "A man can spend his life building bridges. Do they call him John the Bridge Builder? No.

A man can spend his life raising crops. Do they call him John the Farmer? No.

But you fuck one goat . . ."

 

Its a real old joke...

 

Just because someone comes through after going off the list, they dont come off. Maybe a note on the list, but he earned his way onto to the bad trader list.

 

Just my $.02. I have had nothing but good relations with him. I know this may not excuse what happened, but just thought I'd mention he's been nothing but stellar with me.

 

I've also had positive past interactions with Timmy. Exception versus rule, yada yada

 

I've also traded with Tim as well. No issues. Seemed like a good guy all around. I'm sorry to hear this wasn't the case here.

 

If I still were trading I would have no prob. shipping first, in fact I have shipped first a few times in the past couple years for various reasons. If someone has a problem with shipping first don't trade with them, easy as that. Timmy earned, at the least, the designation as someone who always needs to ship first in a trade. Once you fuck someone, even if you make good, you need to understand that going fwd. you ship first. Period. Leave him on the list with the note and folks will know.
