Damn skippy.

I THINK I have the highest ref score, but there are others who are close.

And.. y'all have sick minds. Not that I am saying that is bad, mind you, just noting it.

-Porkuslime
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Folks I am awaiting a ref from.. Zack

To get this thread back on the rails....


No, I'd never send money to pork first. You know he HAS to be a scammer to have that many refs. :mrgreen:

Don't anyone tell him, but the rest of the Admin and a couple Mods are investigating it at this very moment.

"On the DL" shall forever be tainted after that episode of Law & Order: SVU. :shocked:
Communication and more communication. You really can't over-communicate when working out a deal.

I shoot for the "fair" deal - meaning you get a better price than commonly available online pricing and I get a better price than giving my stuff away. Everybody wins.

Leave feedback. It helps build the BT community. It's the polite thing to do. If I owe you a ref - please PM details so I can fix that oversight.
People I have left feedback for and am awaiting a return ref: No one

Even though I am new myself, I can definitely say that people like that are usually scammers...

Myself, I only ask for the trade first if I don't know the person/they don't have a high reputation.
