Last night I initiated a trade with MrGauth. A hinderer half track for his sebenza. I was more than helpful in the emails sending pictures and videos. I even sent him a link to another forum to show more feedback on my end to assure him.We had agreed on a trade and swapped shipping info. Through the night he kept nitpicking different things seeming as he wanted to back out. His thread was never closed after we agreed to ship, So I can only assume he received another offer and tried to back out. This is unprofessional in my opinion with someone who’s feedback is very good.Does this warrant negative feedback? If it doesn’t, I’m not sure what does.
Here is a link to the emails exchanged.

If yall came to an agreement and he backs out, that's not cool. In a trade, I'd assume that coming to a mutual agreement to trade, would be considered as a deal being made.

The real Tyler Durden would just go punch him in the face and make soap out of his fat deposits...:D
 
If you have not done so already, read the rules regarding feedback as well as all the rules pertaining to the exchange. You should find a definitive answer there.

Specifically Section 5, Rule 4.

I know it sucks when deals don't come together especially when you think it's a done deal, but it happens all the time. From personal experience, when a person starts waffleing, you may as well forget about it.

I understand I am a new member here but that doesn’t make it right.That is why I supplied feedback from another forum. So how would someone know that this person has and may back out of deals possibly? Doesn’t seem fair to other trustworthy members. I am not trying to argue anything, just curious.
 
You can't leave negative feedback , but the proper thing to do as Boru13 said is start a GBU thread. In my opinion if someone is nit picking,looking for an out, or just a general pain,it is best to let them out. Going ahead with the deal would have just led to bigger and more costly problems.
You also should let MrGauth know of this thread ,so he an respond
 
I have no response other than to say Tyler was let down by me. We agreed on a trade and I started second guessing if that was what I really wanted to do so asked to back out. He was justly disappointed. My actions I later realized were a bit of a dick move and I apologized asking that we complete the trade. I even suggested he go forward with the negative feedback if he so chose cuz he’d be justified. I would not dispute. He, being a gentlemen, accepted my apology and we are proceeding as originally planned.

If this causes some posting here to consider me a bad trader, I totally understand. It will most likely mean I miss out on some great trading experiences going forward with some great folks. Unfortunate, but mistakes have consequences. Either way, wish you guys luck in your knife collecting.

Well done! I don't think you'll miss out on anything in future because you joined the conversation here and managed things with Tyler like an honest, mature adult. I think that most of us with any long history of trading on BF have made deals that we started "second-guessing" right away. Nothing wrong with that... it's all in how you handle it.

Again, good job to Mrgauth. And a pat on the back to Tyler for coming here and asking his question by referring to the facts of the issue rather than getting into personalities and "parentage". Personally, I'd have no problem dealing with either one of them in future.
 
Also glad things worked out for you both. No negative points for an unconsummated deal. No aspersions cast, but when someone is nit picky, which is their right, it is a major red flag to me. After responding to legitimate questions, and the queries continue, I politely end the exchange.
 
Backing out of a deal is rude, and not cool, but if a deal was not made and nobody is out money or knives, then you cannot leave feedback. That said, owning up to your mistakes and apologizing is the sign of somebody who isn't too bad. We all sometimes get too into our own head, and I'm sure most of us have pulled the trigger on a sale or trade too quickly. It happens, it's human nature. If you own up to your mistakes and apologize for them, then I don't see how you can better fix the situation.

But seriously, try to not get cold feet. It's very easy to build a rep as somebody who will just waste your time.

Thanks for coming here and asking how to approach this, instead of spouting off demands and wanting him burned at the stake. You seem like an honest person, and will fit right in. Welcome aboard and best of luck with your future deals.

M Mrgauth
As it has been stated, your apology seems honest and heartfelt. Your coming here and stating your side (in agreement with the situation) will likely cause many to not balk when it comes to dealing with you. Thank you for showing that your positive feedback was well earned.
