Disapionted with reganyouth84

[cigarsarge]

About a month ago I agreed to a trade with reganyouth84. It was more or less a blind fiver trade. I thought he was Ok.

As the story goes I send him my end. He said he had to go to the smoke shop and get my end. He PMs me back and says the shop closed early and he was not able to get em...first red flag. In the meantime my cigars are shipped in a timely manner and arrive safely. We exchange PMs and I ask when my end was comming and why it had not been shipped.

Well he replies...I ran short of money for school and have not bought your smokes.

To make a long story short I've been waiting for about three weeks and still no cigars. I have PMed him...no response. The last time he was on the board was 08/18/05.

The cigars are not the problem. I can get cigars anytime I need em. The problem is appearantly he is writing checks he can't cash or he is a scammer.

To the newbies...Don't make agreements that you can't keep your end of. Better to wait for the proper time to trade than to push it.

By the way...The cigar community is a good place. This is the first time I have had trouble with anyone over a cigar deal...But be carefull.

Sorry to hear this Sarge. Do you want my spot in the Cigar Draft? I still have 3 picks left. Shaping up to be a nice fiver. You can have the spot and picks and I'll just send them out to you once its over. Just send me the your addy.

I'm ok...Just a tad pissed. Enjoy the lotto.

Thanks for the offer DG.

No problem. It's yours if you change your mine.

Damn Sarge, sorry to hear that you got burned.

It looks like Reaganyouth has some 'splaining to do.

Yup, this kind of thing ticks me off. I tried to AIM him yesterday but never got any sort of response. If your going to trade with someone have nads to at least own up and stay in contact with the person if you can't make the trade till your checks come in.

While I just got out of college a couple of years ago and I know what its like to be dead broke and not have any cash to my name, you didn’t see me making trades (of any kind) when I knew I couldn’t keep my end of the bargain.

Hex, does Reaganyouth owe you sticks too?

OBVIOUS TRADING RULE #1:

Do not enter into a trade with sticks you do not have! Duh.

If you have to go to the shop AFTER you have already entered into the trade then you have already dropped the ball BIG TIME! Also do not make $$$ commitments unless you have the $$$ in the account. Not "I get paid Friday so I will send you a check then" Thats BS.

My .02

p.s. - I have a full box of Opus X for trade . . . send me your end first

No, but I tried to contact him to make this situation a lot easier for everyone involved. I'm going to AIM him with a link to the thread to see if he has anything to say.
