I've logged a crapload of trades here, but have never traded with the main spammers posters here in OT.
Weird.

Alright, I'll take that as a hint to look over your h/w list once host sorts everything out with the trade interface. I know that Ghendar and I have made one or two trades in the past.

My trade list isn't that great right now, other than the bagged beholder but still I just find it a bit funny.

I had more than 50 at one point but there was always a certain degree of drama and or dissatisfaction that I felt in some trades.

Perceptions of being ripped off... arguments about the validity of the price guide... bad trades...

I just tossed in the towel and ebay it now. When I started I wasn't in the financial position to do that, but now that I am I enjoy myself much more.

He was more or less the highest volume trader by a >huge< margin and an incredibly active poster. Then he suddenly vanished with like 50 pending trades.

Needless to say, there was a lot of drama as everyone had been chatting with the guy 24/7 on the forums and regularly traded hundreds of dollars worth of stuff with him.

Then he came back a while later claiming he'd fix it all. I think some people got their stuff back while others didn't... it was a big headache.

It came as such a shock to the site since it was hard to find too many who would be considered more reputable than him.

I meant that I felt it was easier to get ripped off. I tend to try to balance trades as fairly as possible.

Needless to say, there was a lot of drama as everyone had been chatting with the guy 24/7 on the forums and regularly traded hundreds of dollars worth of stuff with him.

Then he came back a while later claiming he'd fix it all. I think some people got their stuff back while others didn't... it was a big headache.

It came as such a shock to the site since it was hard to find too many who would be considered more reputable than him.


Indeed, I was somewhat guilty of helping him to perpetuate his scam, as I was one of his staunchest defenders when things first started going badly for him.  With heavy traders like Darkfather and myself coming to his defense, other people kept the heat off of him for a while, and he was able to make even more bad trades.

He was more or less the highest volume trader by a >huge< margin and an incredibly active poster. Then he suddenly vanished with like 50 pending trades.

It's a special kind of evil to befriend someone and then abuse them like that. I'm sure there's a special corner of hell reserved for him with all kinds of horrible things.

Like I said above, he did make it up to me around two years after the fact. Still, there are those other people left...

I had more than 50 at one point but there was always a certain degree of drama and or dissatisfaction that I felt in some trades.

Perceptions of being ripped off... arguments about the validity of the price guide... bad trades...

I just tossed in the towel and ebay it now. When I started I wasn't in the financial position to do that, but now that I am I enjoy myself much more.


I've had the displeasure of a few of those.


That's why I prefer personal experience.


personal experience in what area?

Both of them.
