Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

I hated to have to have done it, but one trader, who has been given multiple chances at redemption, has failed to deliver once again. The thing this trader likes to do is to create new accounts to avoid past negative feedback.

I am as fair and as patient as one could be, and probably too nice some times, but I've had to draw the line. It seems unfair that someone can just start a new account everythime they start getting negative feedback.

Sometimes you just have to. I dont really like to trade with a "new account". It really depends on how they come across in a trade and messaging. If you look around on the forums you will see that there have been those that actually have made many accounts so yeah one does have to be careful.

Wasn't difficult to find who it is.  This one is a bit different than many of the scammers.  This individual gets into it over his ability to handle the number of trades going on.  He has also just started College if I recall.  No excuses but he has a long history of exactly this sort of situation.

My guess on who it was from the first post was probably confirmed by what sandyrusty posted. I still haven't looked to verify but I am 99.5% sure who it is. If I am correct many of us have even warned him to be cautious about how much he is taking on when he starts actively looking for trades. I have never traded with him and probably never will more because I am aware of the long history of getting i over his head. Couldn't the site not allow multiple member names from the same i.p address? I'm not very knowledgeable on technology so that might be a dumb question.

I have traded with him and most are good but regardless of what id he uses he always gets in over his head eventually. I do trade with him but only stuff I really don't care about either way. One warning though his latests issues seem to include poor packaging just so you are aware.

Yes, I noticed that too only last one that I did receive from him.

My main reason for not trading with him wasn't even a worry that I wouldn't get my side of a trade. More, I knew he would over commit himself again and didn't want to add fuel to the fire.

I wish the site could link the mailing address so everytime they create a new account it flags them and blocks that new account. I know people move so admin will have to verify if it's a new guy or old one. Even with PO Boxes they still should have a residential address and and link all IP addresses. I don't know if this can be done but be great if it could be done
