Well seeing how it is

I made a bad boo boo and attempted to trade with a certain individual on here for some A314 considering I ran out. I thought the deal would be reputable but I got swindled cause I have no idea how two attempts at sending something can fail through Fedex then through the Postal Office. I warn anyone on here that thinks about trading for other items. I know now only to deal with users like andrew, jesse (never dealt with but hes reputable), M&M, and Sillykitty among others.

I’ll just have to go without A314 until my cash flow gets a little better. Photography is such an expensive hobby to get into but with 2 bad elbows and 2 bad knees and a bad shoulder I had to consider a hobby that isnt dependent on my physicality because as interesting as mones are I can’t use them as a “true” hobby and I find its better for me to be an enthusiast rather than become obsessive compulsive about it.

I just want people to be aware that even some more well known persons on here are capable of doing underhanded things and its easy come easy go because it can’t really be monitored or dealt with accordingly if something bad happens. Hell I’m starting to think that we should have a ebay system of ratings with personal accounts of dealings with other individuals to perhaps lessen the possibility of what I’ve just experienced.

That sucks man. So you’re not going to spill the beans on who it was?

I’ll let the dust settle first. Seems odd but for the sake of being decent I don’t want to slander a individual publicly unless it seems to serve a purpose. This transaction is about a month old now and I’m pretty positive its not going to resolve itself now.

My bad my bad!!

See theres the culprit now :wink: Since hes a fan of airplanes I only find it suitable that I send a Nighthawk with a specially fitted biochemical weapon consisting of 20 grams of androstenone and TAH dispersed evenly throughout his whole perimeter and anyone living on his block.

I am sorry to hear that. It is funny that you mentioned that when I was just wondering the other day if these things actually happen here and how safe is this trading thing with AD clients yes but how well do you really know persons.

I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt and I guess that is why you waited for a month.

If this person is a member of the forum maybe they will read this and have a change of heart.

I hope things work out for you.

I’ve only bought from one member of the forum so far and that just so happened to be Olfact. He literally couldn’t have shipped the product any faster after receiving payment and I was very happy with the experience.

I definitely understand why he would wait just to make sure it’s not an honest mistake because I would think that member would lose most if not all the respect they had in the eyes of community. They certainly would from my standpoint. Not only is it very dishonest (especially since this is such a helpful and friendly community), it is also unfair to other honest users because it may deter them from making transactions with other members in the future. That would really suck especially with the extinction of most MXs and rolling blackouts on putatives. Not to mention the fact that your username is directly affiliated with your AD.com account.
