Contacted me saying he would trade his Tighe Coon for my Nirk Tighe. I ask a few questions and agree to trade. I send my shipping info and request his. He asks for pics of my knife which I send. In the meantime he lists the Tighe Coon for sale. I get the Nirk Tighe boxed up and ready for shipping. I email again because he never sent his shipping info. He replies that he decided to sell to another member. Why would you contact me and offer it for trade in the first place? I left a reply in his sale thread, but no response yet.

You never had a done deal and even if you did, forum rules dictate that either party can back out of a deal if they are not sure about it. It is annoying when it happens and there are flakes on this forum but this thread is completely unnecessary. Probably should be locked.

He didn't do anything wrong. That is what an inquiry is all about,"let's see what you have to trade", and if the person doesn't like it they have every right to decline. Also, if you are posting in somone's sales thread without it being related to the sale, then you are bound to receive infractions because it's not allowed.
