The more I think about this the more I question whether I was wrong in this situation or if the other guy was.

Please note that I am only posting my side of the story and if the other person wishes to add his side or additional remarks he/she may do so.

So “Jack” as I will call the other trader makes a post offering to sell a dagger for 400 fg + fees. I make in thread offer for 400 but I will not pay the additional fee. Jack says ok the next day ok. Then through pm he says he will put in market for 1 fg and I’ll pay him the other 399. I agreed but told him today won’t work because it’s Sunday and I’m with wife most of the day. Monday comes and I’m super busy with work so even though I’m “online and on LS” I’m physically not. Jack messaged me a few times and a few messages on LS which I missed while he was online. Next day he rudely messages me that I’m not answering him if I no longer want to trade and almost calling me BM so I responded my apology, told him that I wasn’t online, and that I’m still interested in the dagger. Few hours later he tells me dagger is in store for 400 take it or don’t. So of course I bought it and when I tried to message him a T4t he blocked me.

So.....am I the a-hole or is Jack?

Please note this is my side of the story would love to here jacks side if different than this.

Also “Jack” if you are reading this: if this trade bothered you so much I will happily sell it back to you at the exact same price I bought it (and unlike you I won’t even cry about the market fee)

I had to

Also noone is the bad guy

Shit....that was quick =(
Sorry Jack I tried to keep you under the radar.....

It's all good. Everyone knows that jack is a bit of a tosser.

Even for you that was a pretty darn good offer. That's Ike 95% of what he wanted. I would have expected a cartrack offer of 200 or so on that item tbh ;);)

Fantastic stuff going on here.

Keep up the good work men

In my experience most people who want you to pay the market fee are already broadcasting that they are stingy and theres a higher chance the trade will not go smoothly

yeah I think your a bad guy 🥰❤️

but not cause of the trade 😎 I do the same thing show I'm online when I'm really not I have bad habit leaving computer on at all times

Naw. It’s bachelor. Classic bachelor stuff.

Move along. He’s not worth anybody’s time

I don't really think that anyone has to be the bad guy here?

The common practice is to trade as soon as both are on and he probably saw you online, pm'd you and got ignored. Personally, I would just have assumed that you backed out of the trade at that point and put it back up for sale.

A simple message would have prevented this situtation You know like...

Hey bud, I won't be able to trade until Thursday, is that cool with you?

Doesn't leave him wondering what is going on and doesn't waste his time trying to reach you. Win-Win
