No More Group Buys OR Group Breaks ..

[adhunt99]

Lol it's a funny thing trust, for instance I'm quite happy sending a few hundred bucks to Ben who I've never met, but with things like that you just work up to it. Unless someones a pro con-artist they're not gonna be in it for the long hall usually.

I mean really, noone should ever give money for an item they dont get straight away in their hand, all kinds of protection can be found but none of it's 100%.

Theres nothing wrong with admin saying this, but it's also no different than someone having a trade for a high end card really, still trusting someone you don't know usually. I guess with a group buy there's more people risking their $

What happened with the last group buy? Sorry guys, I've been MIA for awhile....

Me too - What happened ?!?

To highlight your point, two names from the dark ages of trading some 4-5 yrs ago

Jason Cowley
Jesse Manabet

anyone around then knows what I mean! One wanted triple book on anything he had and just emailed you 30 times a day until you caved, the other built a very good reputation before one day, doing a bulk load of trades, ran off with the goodies.

It can happen!

lololol - I remember Jesse Manabet, I traded with him heaps and I remember hearing about what he did too !

There's still no real security about it either way you go.

No matter who organises it.

I would have thought it's all based around a "trust system".

Given, but at least there should be more respect and trust for Admin and higher members who have proven their dedication and consistency on this site.

There seems to be a blanket of silence on what happened... I want to know what went down as well so we can all learn from it.

Theres no "blanket of silence". If you want to know, go and read the threads "Anyone seen Max?" and "re Anyone seen Max?" in the General forum.

Bump....anyone find out if this is in fact true??? strange that no mods have replied to this information by rob

I see he changed his real name to NBAcardz in his profile...very strange.

It has been discussed Cal and we are looking into it.

Thankyou

I just find it ironic the two names brought up as bad traders were bought up by one of the worst traders that we booted for being dodgey himself. I'd be more worried if Fastbaja was back on here trading as he has proven himself to be a bad trader right here on he boards and Aussie eBay. Any members taking off with others cards and not returning would have their local police knock on their door.
