I hope that you and UI can resolve UI's allegations promptly and to both his and your satisfaction.

Good work.

I will never trade anything with him ever, even if I get his end first!

rfenst

^uh, but if you get his end first and do not complete the trade, then YOU get slammed.

The cbidder in me thinks this is a good idea.

The realist said," Wonder if his favorites are 2 dollar sticks, and he's hoping mine run considerably higher?"

Lot of guys on here I'd do this with and not think twice. Ones I've not even traded with yet. But they have all developed their respected reps over time. you earn that.

Brian, I think the Counselor was saying he wouldn't initiate a trade with "said individual" that had "said individual" sending first.

The key would be entering into, not changing the trade midway through.

BTW, Lou, I'll be your huckleberry... :^)

Of course, you'll have to explain how you get the blindfold to stay on the cigars... lol

^

Exactly.

Even if his end came first, I would be concerned about him complaining that my end was either inferior or delivered in poor condition (as he has alleged at least once before about another trader's end).

Quite true Robert.

If I received a trade that I was willing to openly complain about the quality of, I would give the sender an opportunity (off-line) to make good on his/her half of the trade.

If they didn't back-up their half, I would buy a camera (I don't own a digital camera...) and post a picture of it on the pics forum so others could verify that I wasn't trying to rip anyone off.

I've received packages before that had a broken cigar or two in them and never said anything because it wasn't a problem to me. It happens.

But, if I received one where the whole package wasn't damaged on the outside, and the cigars were broken, that would be a different story all together.

As a noob, this is why I appreciate you vets running these noob trades. We appreciate you all taking the time to teach us how to do it right. I am awaiting to get picked up on FGM's current noob trade, and that will be my first trade. I wouldn't feel comfortable starting any other way.

It shouldn't be too long

No complaint on timeline, just glad to get started this way.

Chris, one thing a lot of vets look for is what you just did. Be involved, ask questions, post on threads. Let's em know you are interested and involved. I've done trades with guys just on their body of work being involved as new to the forum. Sent same time as them and never worried. If I got stiffed, at least nobody else would. It happens, no worries. But fortunetly, they have become great brothers of the community. Just as I thought they would.

Definitely intersted, and I've learned a good bit from the forum. Thought the noob trade would be good place to start. Seems you all have developed a great community and I look forward to earning a spot in it.
