Bro - the OP posted a discussion about 'trading' gear online here. It was a fairly innocuous post but he got a reality check about why it would not happen. Read through the posts and you will get an idea. He got burnt and decided to 'close' the thread by deleting his earlier post.
OP - this is why your original post met with a lot of negativity: "PM trade is completely unverified, and easily can be exploited by those wanting to con or fraud others not to mention a perfect platform for LE snares.
PM trades takes us out of being a review site into the realm of illegal sales and trade. Hence it is forbidden."
If a Mod says it not a good idea - you go with that...or you just go. You have been here since April - you should have read the rules and observed what is acceptable. The topic you raised has been dealt with before - so just do some research. Try posting something that the members can learn from, or be entertained by...an email to a Mod about your post topic before posting could have saved you a lot of drama and lost karma. Learn, move on. Good luck.
The great thing about our current model of buying and selling is the anonymity of the seller.
When you trade you have both parties knowing too much info.
Sounds like trouble.
I've thrown out gear.... will do it again
Play your thought out to the end....do you not see the trainwreck disaster this ends in? Can you imagine your personal info is trusted with a complete stranger?
Set aside the implications to this great REVIEW site what your suggesting compromises it.
Pre eroids you'd basically be doing just that with the odds stacked against you.
eroids verifies sources and only verifies those who have a proven track record.
sources on eroids have a motivation to be reliable and trustworthy (relatively speaking)

Yes we do convey a calculated trust based on reviews and other members statements. Thats why I dont get promo whores. Putting your info out there over and over and over.
I vouch for ozningaguy, top bloke, honest, kind and intelligent, I predict him as a new up and comer of the site!
I love the fact that finally we have another Aussie like me who actually contributes and is an asset!
Hope you are well ninga, talk soon!
Hey mate! Hope all is well in your world. Thanks for the kind words. (ppsstt! the cheque is in the mail - but..uummm...don't cash it right away...okies?)
Thx Flash. I know I'm fairly new but by now I know very few newbies end up being an asset. That is just the way of the world.....lol.Have a great day sir
Thanks for the comment. I look forward to intelligent conversations. By straight up I take that as meaning saying it as I see it - and also based upon my research/knowledge - depending on the conversation. The no homo is not necessary (I know it's a joke) - one of the things that Western men are very poor at is giving complements to their partners and their friends. It's a cultural thing - but needs to be changed.
Horrible idea on sooo many levels.
Aside from the POlice being involved in a “trade”.
I could never ever trust what I would be receiving is what it’s suppose to be.
"I could never ever trust what I would be receiving is what it’s suppose to be."
While I don't certainly don't support the trade idea proposed by the OP on any level - a hypothetical question: isn't trusting what you receive is what it's supposed to be what you do every time you order gear online?
Very true but we’re dealing with sources with reviews that validate gear and as a business.
Dealing with Someone no one really knows is completely different and gear could have been tampered with and/or replaced with vegetable oil.
It’s ALOT more of a risk, IMO
A person needs to have some short of sense before then can have common sense. that is why we have to deal with so many idiots. They have no sense to begin with.
God forbid people develop critical thinking skills and learn to think for themselves and can be rational. Instead we have a bunk of mindless snowflakes. Sadly only gets with each new generation. Social media and overprotective parents are setting up kids to fail in real society.
Get too fuck mouth on a twig
What’s closed??
Why am I always missing everything??lol

Not a good idea to be polite!
So for this... I lost all my Karma ?
Fuckin a
RustyhookerThere... +2. Now might wanna delete all this. I mean hell, you already posted your city as your info. All the feds know youre up to "trading".
Right after your generous +2 he hit a promo with the 5 minimum. Lol..
at least he is buying promo gear and not trading for it, lol
Rustyhooker^^^^haha...true. I saw where he went after and his reviews. Hope he does the right thing.
Lol....yes a step in the right direction. Too funny

RustyhookerExactly bro.
RustyhookerLooks like prison. Bendover for soap? Lol
Be smarts dude...dont...
jayisk1st off you need to establish trust. start off with trading dick pics through PM.
Bro trust
Fuck, NO!!! Sharing pics of his lady would be nice, if he don't have some, maybe i can ask her to send him...
jayisklol.., that info was intended only for the OP.
Play your thought out to the end....do you not see the trainwreck disaster this ends in? Can you imagine your personal info is trusted with a complete stranger?

Just to play devil's advocate - don't we trust our personal info to a complete stranger when we order from sources?

All good points - yes there is a difference - particularly relevant is your last line.

Agreed. Good reply - just putting it out there for the sake of discussion.
Im always game for an intelligent conversation. You seem to be a straight up guy Oz ...forgot no homo

Sounds like the perfect way to order 10 bottles take out half out of each bottle, replace with sterile oil recap and send on its way
Sounds like that would easily fall into the trap of being a PM source..
Get-bigGood thought... Bad idea!!! To much risk bro-ham... Count me out!!
Dude I’m new here too but this is not what I wanted to join. I’m not here to “trade” I’m here to learn.
TrenLiverHorrible idea on sooo many levels.

Agreed. Just putting comments out there for the sake of discussion - and clarification for the lurkers who read these comments but never post.
Exactly, its just like receiving a random sandwich in the post and eating it.
Doesn't general common sense suggest its not worth asking? ..
Common sense isn't a reality. It is a fictional character in a fairy tale.
Male / Female or Cyborg style? These are different though, sweat bad breath everything...lol

LMAO... serious? Either a really stupid idea, or the try to get some names!?
No.
NO
the mods have been crystal clear on what that is, what it means and the implications for the site.
Sure, I’ll PM you my address officer!!
NAW DAWG...I AINT THE PO PO
again, this is only a thought i had and totally understand that discretion is every ones #1 concern
Well then, if you say so sign me up. You've got my complete trust. Strange I feel we've bonded, so much so, I feel compelled to add a "no homo".
Please PM me your full name and address and send me an inventory of what you got. I'll definitely trade with you! Trust me.
TrenLiverLol.
