    Not only do I agree with Retail1LO 100%, I'd say he contributes more to the "community" than most here.

    This pretty much says it all folks. Congrats on admitting that you have no qualms ripping people off that you don't know.

    Don't pretend like you don't make intentionally vague ISO threads to try to maximize the value of the bottles you're trading (i.e. best offer style). It's just disingenuous and what most of us in the community would characterize as trying to "win" trades. You're definitely not the only one, just more shameless than most.

    In any case, don't you ever get tired keeping all of your lies straight? You're such a joke.

    Ripping people off? LOL You're such an idiot. I've not done such a thing.

    Here's a trade history. Please...by all means. Find the person whom I've ripped off.

    I do not make intentionally vague ISO's you dipshit. I put out what I have to trade, and put out a list of what I'm interested in, so I don't waste my time. Every single thing I'm looking for is fair in return for what I'm offering. If its not, guess what. I get crickets. That's when I know it's not fair. No one responds. When it's FAIR...you get responses. People are willing to give up what you ask, or there's at least grounds for conversation. If most of you in the community characterize what I do as trying to "win" trades...then please do me a favor and refrain from trading with me. lol Shameless. Yes. That's me. When you have nothing to be ashamed of, a person should be shameless. If you ever get tired of talking out your fucking ass, let me know. By the way...if you're not afraid of hiding behind your "anonymity" step forward with who you are. I'm Hayden McCall. Not afraid nor ashamed of it either. Who the fuck are you? Yeah. That's what I thought.

    Let's say you are ISO 3 beers, and you put FT 5 beers, where say 3 of them would probably trade 1-1 with the 3 you are looking for, and the other 2 would trade 2-1 with one of your targets. To split this into individual ISO:FTs and still cover all the possibilities would require spamming the board with 12 separate threads.

    I'm guessing going forward...if I have 4 beers for trade, and am looking for any of 3 beers in return...I'm going to need to create one thread for every possible combination. I think somewhere around 24 threads. That way, none of the threads can be seen as ambiguous. You'll have to go to page 2 before you find anyone else's ISO/FT thread, but it should satisfy the majority.

    Silly, in that scenario you just post your willing to split and will consider reasonable offers. That wouldn't be ambiguous it just allows for a manageable ISO. That's no more ambiguous or trying to win a trade any more than an ISO X beer Ft: List or Gots, and there's plenty of them that are non specific. I think this is being way to hard on a guy, just my opinion.

    I have seen plenty of people even regular traders post FT's for one good bottle and put 5-8 bottles they are looking for in the ISO and say looking for a combo of those how is that any different then an auction? you basically asking for the best "offer" from the bottles you listed...

    unless a trade is 1:1 2:2 etc it's an auction IMO and most people need to stop with all the butthurt in ISO forums man up you win some you lose some in the end if both parties are happy and agree on the deal who the fvck cares what other people think of it...

    most of you on this board take this shit way too serious...
