Sad barter town mistake....

Post by Farawayfan »

Hi,

I've actually been a Bartertown supporter for TEN YEARs, though a recent gap led to a new account (search Heese for my history). I recently tried to complete a deal for Necrons and it fell through. I thought at first it was a shady trader, but looking back my PM accepting his offer never went through. I'm not an idiot. I f'ing know how to PM. But it didn't seen to go through and it cost me a good deal. You really need to look closely at you're PM system.

Previously long term Btown supporter, now not so sure......

Where to begin?
I could start by asking if you read the rules before starting a new account. Specifically, the one about not starting second accounts.

I could also ask what happened to the PM. You're not clear on that. How did it "not go through?" The only people who typically ask questions about the system are those who don't know how it works.

Actually searching by Hesse will not show you all your references that were tied to you. My last name is Hesse as well.

I actually only see one other user name when I check for Hesse and its one ref and the account shows last active Oct 9, which is today.

I suggest contacting MM from above and explaining why the second account etc. Needless to say i'm very interested in this.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

Have you read the site rules? viewtopic.php?f=44&t=45470 If not do so.

His last name is Heese, not Hesse (don't worry. I saw & had to reread that myself, originally).
Searching "Heese" will give you a very different result. : )
