Man, that really blows Andrew! <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":angry:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"mad.gif\" /> I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. You've always been a real stand-up guy and kept to your word when it came down to business transactions. What in the hell is happening to our community these days..all this recent drama sure takes the fun out of the hobby.

That is a great idea!<!--quoteo(post=323249:date=Jul 26 2009, 08:12 PM:name=brettyboy)<div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (brettyboy @ Jul 26 2009, 08:12 PM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=323249\"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotecman sorry to hear that andrew I do a lot of trading but in a different hobby. I collect high end sports cards and well on the forum I go to they have a trading system with a feedback system similar to ebay. If you are new to the forum with under 20 trades done you have to send first. If you have 20 or more you can send at the same time, however if you have had negative feedback left you must send first on all deals even new ones. I think it is a great system to have so you actually know how the person is you are dealing with and you and the person you are trading with must publicly agree to the trade by pressing confirm and then if one of the people get screwed the mods then step in and try to help it get resolved. Something to think about!<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEnd

Trading is a very tuff/scary thing to do. It's only something i would do with my close friends that I talk to on the phone or have known for years.I hope you get what you are owed Andrew

Its really as simple as, if someone offers you cash or a trade, they send first... They're offering, so it's up to them if they want the piece. I've never sent first in a situation like this.

Sorry your getting the shaft, i hope you can get it resolved.

Sorry to hear about that experience. It happened to me on here once and I have decided that I wont be trading anything again period. Its a shame that someone you can be happily chatting away with through pms just becomes a different person once they've recieved your item and they disappear.

Sorry to hear this Andrew... you definitely don't deserve it! I think you should make it know who you were ripped off by publicly so this doesn't happen to others.That doesn't make you a rat, it makes you a great guy in this community.

Conversely, if offering a trade, I would expect to be thr first to make shipment of my item. Everyone is also right, a rat is someone who gives someone up for selfish reasons. You would only b being an honest person. SOry this happened to you.
