threads like these are dumb because anyone who has sold more than a small handful of records has has at least one bad transaction.
ive seen names of people who are on lots of peoples good traders list, on at least one or two bad trader lists.
what ends up happening is someone who has had hundreds of good transactions, ends up having one bad one where a record got lost or whatever, and some kid comes on here and smears his name, and an otherwise good seller gets blacklisted.
take the first post here for example. that dude runs a record label, and has somewhat of a distro, and all that stuff. dude sells thousands of records. no doubt a lot of them are great transactions or the dude wouldnt still be in business. im not saying he isnt a ripoff and doesnt deserve to be on this list. just saying these threads irk me, cause you can have virtually unlimited positive sales/trades, and still end up on this list for something dumb, and suddenly tons of kids who have nothing to do with it hop on to say "yeah fuck that dude. im never dealing with that guy. he sucks" and starts spreading that throughout the net.

yeah i found a good amount of info on him (will), and laid out the legal issues and stuff,and he was quick to be apologetic to me and sent my stuff back quickly.
mrc helped me track the dude down, and did not defend this dude, so lets not drag his name through the mud. he is good people.

personally, if a bunch of morons wanna sit around and get me to scribble my name on something, and they will gladly fork over 10 or 15 bucks for it, id totally do it to.
believe me, i hate rock star bullshit more than most people, and love calling out people and bands for retarded shit.
but on the other hand, once your band gets big enough, you cant please everyone. I personally watched Pearl Jam spend about 2 hours of time shaking hands, autographing stuff, anddoing general meet and greet type stuff, and got through hundreds and hundreds of fans, but ended up leaving to get ready for the show after a couple hours and still got boos and people pissed off bitching about how big of jerks they were, and how they didnt even take the time to meet everyone, etc. There were at least 2 or 3 thousand fans out there waiting, and it would have taken all day to get through them all, and im sure it was the same at every show in every town every day.
lets not get on our high horses and pretend that if we were in a big successful band we would dedicate our entire days to going online and chatting up kids, and giving out free handjobs to our fans and pandering to their every whim about what color the vinyl should be and what price it should be set at, etc.
