    I've recently experienced making a couple people upset thinking that had trades locked down but I was just getting close to working out what the actual trade would be.

    I posted a specific beer or two for trade with an open ended ISO that was basically BA stouts, and good sours. Given the nature of the post I obviously had to work through some FT lists and what not.

    The other problem was that I posted around 11:30pm last night and had a few people ceased communication un announced while we were working through deals.

    What is the verbiage you use while working through deals to make sure you are not leading on the person you are working with to not believe the trade is final?

    I thought a trade was final only when shipping info was traded.

    Don't want to piss people off so please help here.

    this is why we dont do open ended trades(auctions). post what you want and what you have and the ratios that you desire and then its first come first serve. auctions threads are not good times.

    Well since you are openly admitting to not following the rules let me post them for you, Im surprised your ISOs were not reported as most of the open ended offers are.

    Rules:
    • As always, our Terms of Service applies.
    • You trade at your own risk.
    • Beer trading is a privilege that may be taken away.
    • You may be banned without warning for:
      • Buying or selling alcohol.
      • Trolling or dishonest activity.
      • Having multiple accounts.
      • Posting personal information.
      • Abusing the Beer Trading Feedback System. Examples:
        • Giving retaliatory feedback.
        • Basing your okay/negative feedback on the lack of extras; unless extras were part of the agreed upon trade.
        • Leaving fake feedback.
    • Trade posts may only be made in an ISO (in search of) : FT (for trade) forum.
    • Trades must be beer for beer. No other goods or services; like tickets, booze, proxies/mules.
    • No open-ended, vague, or auction-like offers; example: "Make me an offer."
    • No betting.
    • No linking to lists on another site.
    • No "message sent" or "check your messages" style posts.
    • No "what's the value of beer x?", "what would it take to get beer x?", "what can I get for beer x?" or similar threads.
    • No bumping. No cross-posting (making the same offer in multiple forums). No reposting the same or similar post within a 72 hour period.
    • Don't threadjack. Start your own ISO:FT thread.
    • Don't reply with "Like" or "+1" or similar.
    • Don't be a dick.
    Tips:
    • Use the Beer Trading Feedback System!
    • Demand that new users ship first and that they use the feedback system.
    • Be as specific as possible with the title of your post; ISO beer(s) FT: beer(s).
    • If you reply to an ISO:FT publicly, please make it helpful.
