R u a flake ?

[emmanuel]

For the most part the members I
have bought from, sold to or traded with were nice to deal with but recently there have been more flakes here than Antartica If you tell someone you'll be there you should be there or atleast give the person a call to let them know. I'm sure we all have better things to do than wait for someone who's not going to show up
feel free to add to the list so people will know what
to look for in themselves
Do you tell people you'll be there and don't show up or even bother to send text or call to cancel even though you sent 20 messages for a frag ?
If yes YOU'RE A FLAKE
Do you send 20 messages about a frag but don't get it ?
If yes you might be a flake
Are you the first to call dibs with no intent of buying it ?
If yes YOU'RE A FLAKE

They blew you off like they were Jenna Jameson?

 

[wonderballz]

I have had a few flakes in my dealings so far, but I usually don't leave a bad review, I just won't deal with them.

 

[jerl77]

i think we should leave bad review mabey the flakes will go away?:tongueani

 

[Imbarrie]

Maybe leave a neutral review with the explanation.

I have left one bad review but that was from someone selling me something that wasnt what they advertised.

 

[grknyer]

Are you serious? Flakes on MR ??? No way never!! We just don't have regular Flakes we actually have Costco sized FROSTED FLAKES !!!!

Maybe being flakey is the result of a crummy economy? Just a guess.

No, it's just a lack of integrity.

Be a man (or woman) of your word. Don't commit to a sale if you can make it to a location, don't have the cash, or you just don't have time.

I see what you're saying.. and I'm assuming thats part of it as well. However most people I see.. are like little kids in a toy store when they see coral for sale. :lol:

It's all good the part that gets me is why not make a call or send a message "hey dude my cat went crazy and ate my left leg now I have to go to the hospital so dont wait for me" that wouldnt be so bad then you could go on with your life instead of waiting for a no show

Funny how everyone posting in this thread has a lot of good reefer ratings.

Although that said, I sort of flaked on someone tonight due to a last minute emergency appointment, but offered to make it up another night this week with the item for sale and a beer.

I doubt that it is the problem but a damn good reason to give them a bad rating for being a flake without getting a bad rating on your regular account..

Sorry Just venting because I too recently went through this with this recent thread of mine >>> http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/sale-trade/86483-brazilian-gramma-f-t-sale.html <<<<<
I'm still waiting for the KING of all Frosted Flakes to call me almost a month later. :irked: I guess I have a better chance of witnessing the second coming of Christ!

Funny how everyone posting in this thread has a lot of good reefer ratings.

Reason: We were brought up the right way!

I usually give guys 1 time to flake. Sometimes shizzle can happen, and I will let it slide, but if they flake again, I just stop answering their calls.
