I get the feeling he is talking about the cannabis community as a whole and not a specific place but I could be wrong.

All depends on the communities.
I honestly haven’t been burned by anyone on OG yet.

if you honestly had any doubt in your character or reputation here, just look at some of the names that have popped up to say otherwise
You’re solid brother. Haters gone hate.

We’ve been talking serious legacy and planning to collaborate, I trust @Blueridge and he’s never pressured me to give him seeds, we’re hunting them as one here. I’ve got good vibes from talking to you bro!
I’m waiting on lost seeds and the person who sent them has been cool and concerned , as well as me being cool about it. not getting seeds won’t break the trust, but in your case that was real dirty man. 
Got a buddy in South Africa upset cause my seeds I sent just dissappear in Johannesburg.
Poor farmer was not able to afford to purchase any seeds this year. And they killed his brother there, I hope they reach him. If not I’ll send another round UPS.
USPS is known to get stolen in SA.
I got mail today.

I can confirm our that our postal system here in South Africa is beyond terrible…
I’ve had many unregistered letters simply not “arrive” or in some cases they were opened and contents removed. I’ve had no issues with things going missing with signed,registered mail.
2-4month waits are common
Only downside is the extra cost and sender//reciever having to sign.

It’s been 10 years of scamming USPS customers. Workers sell most of the packages before customers ever receive them.
I’ll definitely stop using USPS for any deliveries there.

Why are you even stressing yourself out over that asshole? fuck him and just move on bromigo, who is this guy anyway? Post his name so he can be shunned by other members here on Overgrow and just call it a day…That asshole is not worth getting all stressed out about, you kept your end of the bargain and there are other better honest members here you can deal with…hope this helps.

i usually just edit, then edit again, and then end up deleting the comment altogether because i didn’t need to say that, or my thoughts didn’t add anything useful to the discussion. sometimes the comments stay, but i delete probably as many as i make or just a tad more. i rarely go back and delete them.

Postal Systems everywhere seem screwed up lately. I’ve had Padded Packets sent to Canada, Europe (multiple) NOT show up. I’ll just resend in DVR Cases. You get some “Traders” that fail to hold up their end of the Deal, but they hurt themselves. I move them to the Top of my DISREGARD LIST. In my Book, you’re good, no need to let their opinion cause you stress. SS/BW…mister

If I can help I’m anyway don’t hesitate to ask I have plenty to gift for those in need. And ty @GregOG your words mean a lot. We will definitely keep working together. And btw I found Jamaican landrace orange hill purple skunk that I believe you may be interested in. And I have another called Kingston fyah. I won them several years ago and finally caught the guy who gifted them. Pretty neat story. The orange hill purple skunk came from orange hill in Westmoreland jamaica.
I traded the ganjapeneur shirt that I was wearing to a farmer for seeds from his oldest strain.
He said his uncle had been growing it since the 80s.
You can see the tire field I got it from in the greenhouse seeds strainhunters jamaica video.
Kingston fyah happened when Kingston confidential from mtg seeds hermed in a room of Carnival ( breeder unknown) and cali connect girls scout cookies.
She’s a Carmel, bubble gum tasting, mold resistant winner.
I hope you find a winner pheno!
No pics right now, ill see what I can find at home on my computer with the older pics…Let me know buddy I’ll throw in the mail

I was going to but apparently he has the right to send after me not that he did but he’s higher ranked than I am so low man is supposed to send first. I would call him out but I don’t need any more drama I’m sure he might chime in and give his 2 cent lol I’m wondering what made him think I was shady? Probably going to change my name to shady something

The “you send first” is a choice some make when dealing with newer members. My first couple trades on here went that route, somewhat to my surprise hah.

Here’s my thought on that…he should’ve known better, I’m sure he’s gotten a few trades that were delivered late if he was that high ranking…I think he just wanted the NL#5, why else would a high ranking member even say I think you’re shady…I’m also pretty sure he’s been reading this thread…

Trading with strangers is tough on several different levels. There has to be trust involved on both ends to make a successful trade. Unless I’m trading sealed packs or for someone’s F2s/crosses they made… I just don’t even bother.
Couple of examples I’ve been involved in where trades went bad…
On another older platform that doesn’t exist anymore called Cannazon/Cannetics I would run into the issue of the person sending the seeds sometimes would send something completely different than what was negotiated in the trade. Example… I was to recieve Sin City’s Cherry Fuel, which I figured would be a fast flowering Indica dominant hybrid… instead I grew out what appeared to be an over 100 day long flowering sativa that showed zero characteristics of the strain that I was supposedly growing… the kicker of the whole thing too was the guy who traded them to me was supposedly the Sin City rep at the time… some Canadian guy involved with their distribution named “Strain Hunter” and he went on to have multiple people calling him out for blatant theft down the road in other dealings… but before all that happened, he was described in the Canna community as a “Stand Up Guy.” That’s the term that I’ve seen used time and time again to describe some of the worst thieves on any platform. This Strainhunter guy later went on to claim to be opening a seedbank called “The Seed Shop” and conned Bodhi, Karma, and a bunch of other breeders into sending him stock on consignment that he ended up selling through PM’s to buddies of his and he ripped off every one of those breeders.
Another “Stand Up Guy” was this guy named JB who ran the forum and seedbank called “The Seed Depot” back around 2010-2011… it was a very active forum/seedbank and one I was a Co-Moderator of. I had absolutely nothing to do with the business end of things mind you… just helped enforce forum rules mainly… well JB had setup what he called a secure.trafing platform where the members would send in their seeds to him and he would facilitate the trade so that the forum users didn’t have to divulge any of their personal info to each other. He also took seeds on consignment from both users and breesers and sold those in his shop. Many seedbanks used to sell seeds on consignment back then. Well this popular breeder at the time “303 Seeds” was dropping a couple of new packs at The Seed Depot called Bio-Diesel and Bio-Chem and they sold out nearly instantly. Those were expensive packs too… JB the shop owner, took in thousands that night and then just disappear into the night with all of the money and all the seeds the members of its community had sent in for trade, all the packs the Breeders sent in for consignment, everything. It was theft. This “Stand Up Guy” pulled off a huge heist… but he was in Spain supposedly… what’s anyone to do? But JB wasn’t done stealing… not yet anyway… Not long after the heist my credit card was charged up… one that I had used to buy the Bio-Diesel seeds on the same site, it had thousands of dollars in fraudulent charges placed on it. Thankfully the bank reversed everything for me after I called their fraud department and made a report. I heard several members of the site make similar claims about their credit cards. JB really milked everyone and ripped off anyone he could. A post was made on another forum around the same time by a guy claiming that he knew JB in real life and supposedly JB was able to use the credit card numbers of the sites users to somehow obtain cash. The post claimed JB was driving around Europe buying large amounts of narcotics and partying at the expense of its community. It was pretty shocking to say the least.
So the internet is full of guys like this. Whenever you make a trade or negotiate a deal with a stranger there’s always a good chance that you might not get what you’re expecting or anything at all (Even with Stand Up Guys 
) thats the reason why I only trade with folks that have sealed packs or make F2s/crosses… and even then there’s no guarantees. It’s a seedy business. Sorry thats a bad pun… I just could’nt resist.

I don’t do trades, I actually just do give aways to new members and don’t expect anything back…a lot less stress and I like seeing my strains being grown else where on this planet …a lot of members take this trading threads way too serious…
