Hi all. been seeing around lately some of our newer members want to know how best to use the search feature to find if someone they are trading with is a confirmed bad trader. Here are some tips to remember.1. Don't search for a name or email address as both are easily changed. Always begin your search with the city name and state and then see if the address of the person you are trading with is in one of the search results. 2. Be sure to check the confirmed list and the Bad Trader Alerts Forum. If they are confirmed don't trade and if they are in the Alerts then use your best judgement(some are in there for sending late on a trade not for ripping so just don't assume everyone is in there because they are thieves.) 3. If you feel uncomfortable with a trade even though you can't find them on our list then don't be afraid to blow off the trade, there are lots here to trade with and most of them are good traders.

I don't know about you but I think most die hard rippers (yes they exsist) only really cruise the Have/wants and other trading forums. As I saw somewhere if you cannot afford to lose it don't trade it (I have a fealing that is a Leshrac comment. __________________ Adrian King of the Crusades Crusade 1: There will be NO swearing on MOTL Crusade 2: Every post shall Mock Hansolo123456789 Crusade 3: That Black shall be converted to Yellow so that Blue is the only colour with a "B" at the Begining

Another good method is to occasionally pay a visit to the Bad traders forum and.. read some of the complaints there. You will get the feel of how to spot a potential bad trader/ripper.Bad traders are harder to detect..but rippers are easier. These are some of the traits of a Bad trader/Ripper: 1) Always like to simulsend or would like you to send first even though his/her ref is lower than yours. 2) Emails from them do not include the details of previous mails..ie they never do the reply back thingo. 3) They usually do not like to give real names.. for example when they give you an address like this: The Bad MoJo, 6, TomDickHarry Road, Malaysia. 4) They offer you unbelievable trade offers. Hey.. I'll give you 2 Rage's for your foil Sabertooth Nishoba and foil Opt. 5) They do not have a H/W list. 6) They have an unbelievable Refs to Post ratio. ie they have 30 refs and they have only posted less than 50 times. This shows that they are not that active and yet they are pretty successful in their trades? Well thats all I can think of at the moment. Nevertheless, even precautions are taken, you would eventually bump into a ripper/bad trader. For the record, I have been ripped once..and bad traded twice. Still trying to resolve one of the bad trades.

Aaagh... don't encourage people to bring back old posts. It gets annoying. (This one is an exception, because it is a meaningful post, that still serves a purpose.) __________________ Greetings from the #4 poster in Virginia!AIM Handle: eclinchy5 E-Mail Address: eclinchy@yahoo.com Need an Apprentice opponent?
