Subject: Re: Burned on Trade?..Heres what to do
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 1998 20:41:40 -0700
I have done hundreds of successful trades & have only been burned once (Hear
that Redman). Normally what works for me if they stop replying to emails (I
usually wait about 6 weeks after the orignal trade minimum) I threaten to
put their name out on the web. Not just the list. There are several groups
that keep close track of bad traders & even some that find people in the bad
traders local area & have them knock on the persons door to get answers.
Some of these groups even scare me, and I have never made a bad trade.
If that doesnt get the persons attention then just send out the persons name
& let things go.
I have lists of bad traders other people have encountered. If anybody wants
some of this info just write me at:
yleecoyote@*********.net
The best way to prevent bad trades is to ask the other person for net refs.
There are several people (many on this list)that I have used for references.
I keep track of everybody I have had successful as well as regretable trades
with & have given many glowing ( & some bleak) trade references before. The
most important thing to remember though is to give the person a chance to
respond. People leave on vacations, get sick etc.
Lastly, Dont be afraid to ask people you have done successful trades with if
they know the person that you are having trouble with.
Hope this helps.
