Hey, Traders.

So, the user with the name "Trop," STAY AWAY. He and I agreed upon terms for the trade of firearms, with cash and other items involved. We locked in a date, time, and location for the meet, of which was approximately 2 hours distance for each of us in either direction. On the day of the meet, I confirmed with him that the meet was still good to go, as well as time and location. Upon confirmation from him, I gathered up the items and go on the road. Approximately 60 miles/1 hour into my trip, I get a text from him stating there's an emergency and he can no longer meet. Of course, although frustrated, I show understanding and let him know we can arrange another meet, and I return home. In the several days following, I reach out a number of times and get absolutely ZERO communication from him - not one word.

That said, I have come to believe the "emergency" was a fabrication. As to why the last minute bail, I have no clue - but, I would highly recommend other traders don't conduct business with "Trop," unless you live within 5 minutes of him (and even then, tread carefully).

I hope this keeps any other traders from getting disrespected by him as I did, and saves you all the time and money (for gas) that I lost.

Thanks,
Xander
