TT blacklist of members who reply to private ads

I don't know what other people think , but after dismantling a bookcase packing it together for transport, then waiting in vain for the Asswipes to show up or even get in touch.This is not the first time it's happened to me . (it's the first time I missed other engagements because of a no show)
I really think it's time to make a list of these people or Tag them in some way?
What do you think?

I'd say that if you've got a problem with a particular individual who doesn't bother showing up then definitely post them up. It's extremely annoying if you've put time aside for someone and they don't have the decency to let you know that they won't be coming. However, I'd definitely try to find out if there are mitigating circumstances first.

Hang him, hang him, hang him...

I've an ever-expanding list of folk who back out last minute or who reserve and disappear.

Punchbear, were any of those in the running for the Kursk book?

krish84

reserves the stuff for three days , backs out the night before! I turned down three possible buyers because of her

We should have something like the public Pillory or Stocks section, as a reference point as to who can be trusted to show?

So, you wanna turn TT into an eBay-clone?

Whats wrong with Ebay? (or is that another topic)

Nah. Actually, the last chap came through in the end, so scratch him there, nice bloke too.

Oi Punchbear, I bloody fucking resent that! I enquired about the books and then was slightly out of action and didn't get back to you I admit it but no arrangements were made to meet etc so I didn't stand you up or anything and then I saw you make another post saying reservations were only valid for 5 days or something so I thought 'fuck it'.

I have bought nearly every single household item I own from TT plus several DVDs and loads of other stuff so I'm actually a very reliable person.

Post the names of real fuckers who waste peoples time and don't show up and stuff like that - great idea - but don't post about trivial bollocks like an enquiry that doesn't materialise into a sale.

Well perhaps you should reconsider how you word your enquiries. If someone says "Could I please have Book A and Book B and Book C please?" and you get a reply saying "ok, reserved", that's not an enquiry in my mind. rather a reservation. Sorry, we'll have to differ on that one.
