Is it just me or has there been a change in the winds here at b-town? I have had atleast 3 or 4 people in the last couple weeks agree to trades and then not reply after. No I have not sent to them and they never sent to me. And yes I have given them the benefit of the doubt.
I know someone will reply that you need to give them time. But I dont think they need more than a week or so. Even I zip off a message if I have a problem with a trade.
Oh well just a rant here but I figured i'd see if anyone else has had that problem as well.
Later guys and hope you have a great 4th.

I have had the same problems. This has happened twice in the last two weeks. One of the deals that fell through was with a member whose rating is around 100. He just quit communicating. I thought someone with that high of a rating would be a better communicator. Oh well.....

herka jerka!
I'm rather surprised to see it in the case of the high rating, but it's rather normal in other cases.
I've had periods where I had more dropped trades than completed.
Shoot... there have been times when I thought I was waiting for the other person to email me when it turns out I never emailed them (that happens when you have a lot of trades at once... more than 3, for me. LOL). By the time I emailed them and apolopgized, he told me he was one day from giving up on me.
It happens but, (especially) in the case of people with high ratings, shoot them an email and ask if they're still interested. If 2 days go by with no response.... forget the deal.

Lower rating? You ship first.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.

While im not sure if im considered a Vet yet, I have been around a while. Im having the same troubles. I think the issue is that BT is getting more and more popular and more and more people are stopping by to see whats up. Its pretty much a respect issue. I'd rather have someone tell me they arent interested anymore so I can relist my ad asap. Oh well though theres nothing we can do.

I hope I'm not one of these people at fault PzMkV with our trade.
I realize I'm kinda a Newbie on here, but still I like showing some consideration and respect. I have a trade right now out, that if I don't get a response I'm out a minimum of $20 to stop a Money Order and at most $90 or a few pieces to add to my army.
I wish people would have the decency to let those they're trading with have some information of what's going on.
