So here's the situation - I started a trade with someone on this board back in mid-April. I went green on a Coobro site for him (took about 2-3 days), and he was going to go green on a Coobro site for me. Now, a month and a half later, this guy has done nothing but give excuses about why I don't have a green. I know Coobro can be a pain sometimes, but I have gotten 6-7 greens on Coobro sites in the last two weeks, and I told him several offers that have been good recently.

A week or two ago, he offered to pay for the green I did for him and just call it even - but the thing is, I agreed to complete his site for some kind of green, not cash. It's hard to get people to do offers for cash, and I don't want to have wasted a trade opportunity. I can't help but wonder if the guy never intended to be a green and just hoped to settle for cash once I got sick of waiting. What would you do to handle the situation? How much cash would you see as appropriate to settle things?

man that sucks.... I suggest you settle for the cash though. It sounds like he will never green.... Accept no less than 20$ if hes not willing to pay 20$ or more turn that fucker in to the scammers thread

I say $30 because he didn't do his side of the bargain...

Coolbro is a bitch of a site. Not fair to charge him $30. You are risking it trying to trade for that site and going first...

Make him pay someone to do your site. That way, you don't risk having to pay out of your own pocket if he doesn't give you enough.

No, don't do that, that user will not do it.

Just get the money and you find someone, that will be better

Normally, I would agree with you - but I went green for him ON A COOBRO site, and a ton of my friends have gone green on Coobro recently with no problems at all.
