Is this sketchy, or is it just me?

I would like to get some opinions on this trading situation that seems a little sketchy. I posted a trade looking for Vanilla in exchange for Alchemist truck sale stuff and a small list, and I got message from a guy who commented on my post. His initial message made it very clear I had what he was looking for and this deal could happen. However, as our conversation continued, he stopped responding to messages (even though he read them), and I kept seeing him respond to posts in the FT section offering up similar things to other people. He's commented on like 7 in the past few hours. He also wouldn't respond when I asked him multiple times if he still wanted to pursue this trade with me, and read the message each time. I thought this was weird, and then remembered this very same guy messaged me about a week ago out of the blue offering up Vanilla in exchange for truck sale stuff I had posted on my Gots, to which I replied immediately to. He stopped responding to that as well, and then told me it was closed, ONLY after I inquired a day later, which I thought was strange considering he messaged me first.

To me this seems a little fishy and maybe a sort of an auction type scenario, since he's responded to about 10 threads in the last few days... not necessarily against the rules what he is doing, I don't think, but it really seems pretty sketchy and inconsiderate to me.

I also found a thread he created on getting the most for his Vanilla and Prop. Hoping to get some opinions on this situation, and I definitely am a bit wary of trading with him. I'm sure this has happened to other people, so I want to know if this is just poor communication and part of dealing with people on here, or maybe I'm reading into it too much. Thanks.

 

@CSO yeah, I was not planning on trading with him, especially after I found the thread he created about trying to get the very most for his bottles in what is obviously an auction among different traders on his part.

 

@CSO yeah, the behavior in this situation is pretty crappy to say the least. I also want every guy he's messaged or commented on an FT to be aware of the situation and not to let this continue.
