just to get something straight,since you unfriended me so fast.
as i said,i already own the games,so i wouldn't know if the keys you gave me are valid or not - until i trade them.
so basically,it's the same for me if i got first or second. i'd have no idea if i have been scammed.
however,you should get over your paranoia and try to rationally evaluate the legitimacy of a trader/rep.
or you just end up looking stupid at the end.
hence i said you are insulting yourself more than me.
Allright, I'm going to say it. The reason I unfriended you is not paranoia, it's because you were being insulting. This very comment you have left here is very insulting.
I understand that, when people trade for a long time, sometimes they get to deal with bad/stupid/vindictive people, so even a 100% honest trader can get a negative rep through no fault of their own. That is why I was extremely polite and cautious when I asked you to go first, taking every step to avoid offeding you, and repeatedly pointing out that I didn't mean to come across as rude.
You immediately reacted by getting super hostile. Even when I tried to do damage control and apologize, you kept talking down to me, telling me that I was "offending myself" for not being immediately 100% confident of completely trusting a stranger on the internet.
THAT is why I unfriended you. Not because I couldn't possibly believe that a guy with 163 positive rep is honest, but because you were talking to me like I was an idiot. Believe it or not, I'd rather miss out on a deal than do business with somebody who is treating me badly. Even then, while upset over the way you were talking to me, I still made sure to leave with a very polite message.
So no, I don't think I'm being stupid.
i'll quote you on this one
"Believe it or not, I'd rather miss out on a deal than do business with somebody who is treating me badly. "
being polite has nothing to do with it. you made an insulting statement. "i'm sorry,i see you have 2500 games,level 130, are an admin of a trading group with 11k people and have a backpack worth over 1500$, but could you go first ?"
please.
I have:
Sweet Lily Dreams, Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition, Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten, Analogue: A Hate Story With Soundtrack, Battlepaths, Scourge Outbreak, Muffin Knight, BlazBlue Calamity Trigger , Silence of the Sleep, Bloodrayne Betrayal.
Some of them are from the same bundle of Bird Story, I got the bundle once but want an extra copy of that game for a friend.
Please comment here before adding me, I have to check your rep before trading keys.
