This is getting ridiculous. Trading for referrals or money should be a rather simple and painless process. I normally try to do a quick background check on the people I trade with and look for post count, quality of posts, attitude when dealing with previous traders, etc. Unfortunately I accepted a trade request from [bfce58a8445]
cartrenroy [=http//forum.freeipodguide.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3385]cartrenroy [/bfce58a8445]and he’s got my balls in a vice because I’ve already gone green for him. A background check didn’t yield anything especially unsettling but there’s only so much you can learn about a person over the internet. I’ve found that trading with people off freeipodguide has actually been easier than initiating trades on the forum.
I normally try to be polite and concise when trading and make sure to convey a genuine interest in making the trade 100% fair. I don’t ask for anything outrageous and I’m a pretty flexible person. It’s when I come across a retard like [bfce58a8445]
cartrenroy [=http//forum.freeipodguide.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3385]cartrenroy [/bfce58a8445] that I start to get a bad taste in my mouth. He was extremely talkative when we began talking about the trade and when I was signing up under him and completing an offer. It’s when I said “Ok, I’m all done!” that he totally abandoned the conversation and started being curt in his private message replies. The second message he sent me was down right offensive and antagonistic. Now his only response is that I'm a noob. I say that trade record isn’t a reliable way to tell whether or not someone is a “good” trader. Sure, it’s a quick way to determine how much experience someone has with trading but it says nothing about the quality of trade they provide. I know I probably speak on behalf of most when I say that I don’t enjoy being jerked around and having demands thrown at me. Like I said, he’s got the upper hand in the trade right now because I’ve already gone green for him – I’m at his retarded mercy.
It’s such a simple process, why does it have to become so complicated with some people? A perfect example of a “good” trader is imanust who was very understanding and pleasant to deal with. Believe me, your tact and good attitude don’t go unnoticed in risky transactions like these. I paid him $25.00 for a referral and he signed up immediately and completed an offer. Unfortunately Lifederma didn’t credit my account so the money was refunded, which he graciously did.
I’ve stopped being polite to cartrenroy because his responses to me definitely don’t warrant any respect from me. This is such a simple process and can happen in a matter of days. When I read that people have waited weeks for lazy and uninterested traders to finally get around to honoring their end of the agreement, my fucking blood boils. Dicksmokes like these should suffer an eternity in fire and brimstone for the inconvenience they’ve caused the honest traders out there.
I’d rather have absolutely nothing to do with people like this even if it means getting greens from them. The thought that my contribution somehow landed a person like this a free product makes my anus clench. For all of you that have dealt with people like this and even worse, have been scammed, at least take comfort in the fact that your not totally alone in your loathing and hate for them.
It doesn’t take a brain surgeon or a high trade record to grasp the concept of successful trades. If you’re looking for an honest and friendly trader who will pay or signup for you, shoot me a PM. Be careful who you trade with!
That wasnt worth reading... liar

I knew some witty individual such as your self who obviously possess such staggering intellect would say that.
Good one!
By the way, I cancelled my offer but it's been over 4 days so he'll undoubtedly still get credit for my signup. Now he's decided not to honor his portion of the agreement. I suppose that would qualify him for a nice shiny spot on the bad traders list.

I have never liked cartenroy, he has such an attitude, and he is incredibly dumb. When anyone ever asks me if they should trade with him I say no..Turns out my thoughts about him are coming true.

W/E - you can do w/e you want.
But you forget many stuff on your story. you forget the PM's[b021c236522] "I will cancel right now before it turns green"[/b021c236522]
and why do you want to cancel, just because I didn't answer you for an hour- WHY? hey - I have stuff to do, I was busy.
I'll can post every PM and AIM from you, you are freaking retarded, can you just wait like a day to get an answer, just because I didn't reply for 1 hour it doesn't mean I am a scammer

Never once have I accused you have scamming. I believe that you are probably one of the more honest traders here on the forums but I also believe that you're the rudest peice of shit I've encountered yet. I'm glad I don't stand alone on this.
Get it together man. You very inept when it comes to dealing with people. Don't be testy and rude and things will go fine for you.
Yeah, I had a bad experience with cartrenroy too. We decided to do a trade where I would have my friend be his ref.
I have my friend sign up and then he says,
"Yes, he singed up, but Why, I already got all the people I need."

14-04-2005 17:40:28
What are you talking about. You PM me telling me, hey you still need referrals for freepsps.com - and then you say, Oh by the way, I gave my friend your link and he signed up.
What was that, did I PM you telling your friend to sign up, NO, then why should I give green, common. So I can just go green for someone - no matter if the guy it's done and [bc76c41e89d]HE/SHE Must[/bc76c41e89d] turn green for me. No

Yea, he had his friend sign up under me too but he never completed an offer. Damn, I guess I'm REALLY not alone on this. I'm glad I posted something. I hope this helps other people avoid his paramount stupidity and deceitfulness.
I'm still looking for two GOOD traders that would be interested in either 25.00 or for a signup of something other than freeipods, freepsps, and freeipodshuffles.

My intent isn't to impress anyone with my vocabulary but since you've taken notice, it's obvious I've at least impressed you. I'll take the above as a compliment.
Right now I'm looking for two freeipod.com refs. I'm paying 25.00 for each and/or willing to trade.
Not everyone is going to agree with me that is fine. My point still stands; cartrenroy is nothing but a liability to the community. If it weren't for him and people like him, people wouldn't be so incredulous of the whole trading process.

FiSKARZ - you and this guy are the same thing. He completed offer - same as you - I knew he was going to turn red, I told him tha I was going to do his green until I get approved for his green - sicne he did something that it's agaisnt the rules, same with you, you told me - I will cancel right now before it turns green.
He replied telling me - We didn't trade approvals, we traded greens shock weird.
Same with you, yo told me you were going to cancel before it turns green, rules clearly say - if you cancel before period time or w/e - you account will be placed in [bda88c1c06e]HOLD[/bda88c1c06e] - ask anyone - it's true.
So why should I give you a green - which will be green forever - when you gave me a green that may turn red.
I told you - I will do your stuff it your green it's green after approval - but what happend, no I am not going to wait on your shit, blah blah blah.
I am not doing anything, you can do w/e you want. I am not doing anything for you if this turns red

I have plenty of PM and AIM's form you - so why should I stop. I can clean everything with all the stuff I have/
You gave your point - 1 or 2 of them (the ones that gave support for you) but you forget the bad points from you, common you have to be a man.

I believe that I have proved myself behind the scenes to be a reputable trader and need not attempt to be a "cunning linguist" why is that?

Im waiting for dude to go into his Sammy Sosa face and pretend like he has no idea what your talking about. Anyways like I said nothing important here but if you happen to read this and you are not the arguer and the arguee in this thread (exception to Mrox he's cool) please dont make a post about my actions here. If it has been more than a week and I havent obliged to my terms of the agreement please feel free to post me in bad traders section.

And you sound like a good trader!
Clearestchannel You're absolutely right, I don't have a trade record yet (well, one trade is still pending) but I don't sit on freeipodguide all day trying to establish one either. I've been waiting on the two which I thought were in progress and as it turned out, neither of them were.
I think I've made my point. Clearestchannel, it's too bad you had to chime in with such negativity in your first post because your first impression on not only me but other people here was probably a bad one. I can see my assumption about the impressions you make on people is pretty accurate based on your negative karma level.
Oh well, I will continue to post and trade on!
