Let's say you answer an ISO from a botl. You send him what he's asking for because either he can't afford it or it's hard too find, or his BM doesn't carry it. You throw in a few hithchikers (LP 9, T52, Viaje, Illusione, etc), remember you're trying to help a brother out here. In return he sends you something that you consider quite a bit less than what you expected, sticks in the $2.00-3.00 range. I understand that trades can sometimes be a hit or miss situation unless the details are worked out in advance. But I feel that when someone post an ISO they should be willing to trade at least equal value smokes in return, in my case I would likely over compensate but that's just me.

So now what do you do, I asked my vet the same "hypothetical question" and got some good advice but I thought I would throw this out there.

Do You?

Chalk it up to experience

Forget about it and go on

Email him and say WTF

I won't torch anyone on the forum so that's not an option

Any other suggestions on what you would do "hypothetically" of course.

Chalk it up to experience and forget about it and go on.

+1 muhren.

I've had 1 that was a little questionable and I'm sure there has been a few guys get packages from me and think wth during the learning stages. (if so, let me know and I'll make it up)

I would say if your nervous about it, be more specific with the trade requirements...

If not, it is what it is.....personally, when I start worrying about it, this place won't be fun anymore. Just my 2cents.

If it is a noob, they might not understand(that is me giving the benefit of the doubt) I would hope this is the case...

If they don't make it right, never trade with them again but, if you are going to warn people, do it in a PM not on the boards.... THAT gets ugly!!!!

Maybe you could also find out who their VET is and talk to them... they could prod the guy/gal to make it right???

Like I said, unless you told him/her you wanted X, X, and X in exchange for Y, Y, and Y, you are kinda stuck.... Sorry...

This made me laugh out loud.

I think only because you've never sent me anything. BUT, I sent you something...enjoy the ballz!! LOL

note to self: never trade with NewB. 😳

Any tag a longs you send are at your discretion. And sometimes, people think MSRP and what something goes for at auction differently. In a blind review trade, my high end cigar I sent was an Opus X. The top cigar sent to me was a graycliff 1666. Not even other than MSRP. Oh well. Funny thing is, the guy that got the Opus X bandless thought it was a Dark Shark, and I am fine with the 1666 as a yard gar.

PM me your addy. I will try to make it up to you so you don't quit helping people out. I've done a few of these my friend, and there are alot of Donald Trumps out there.

just my thought

Your probably get yours!

Was what he sent back to you an equitable return on the requested cigar(s)? Only you can make the judgment if a quantity of lower value cigars equals the smaller number of higher end cigar(s) that you sent.

If you do not feel that what you received was an equatable return for only the requested cigar(s) that you sent, then a private communication between you and the other party is the best way to handle it. In most instances you will find that people will attempt to make things right.

If you can not reach a private agreement on the resolution, then you need to carefully consider the ramifications of "outing" someone publicly on a forum, as this can backfire on you. This can also happen if you decide to involve this person's vet, as you are still outing that person, just privately. Most likely the vet will try to help you recover your cigars or be compensated adequately for them, but it's not their responsibility or liability to do such.

Chaz speaks the truth. Don't judge one trade. Most people in the grand scheme of things average out. I never worried about the bad trades, because I was always happy with trades I made with friends.

And dicks usually get found out soon enough.

Dang, I'd just thought that your humidity was high 🤔

I should have known that the hair in 1 of the baggies was in fact a pube. :-&

Eff it, at least they were all Premo's!

My, uh,' Humidity' is high! 🖐
