Babar Valued Member Pakistan 207 Posts	Posted 11/05/2012 08:07 am I've progressed a bit since last time, having done a dozen or two swaps. But now I've got some more swapping woes, and I guess I just wanted to rant a bit. Everything is going fine and dandy, I choose some coins from the other guy's list, they choose some from me, we haggle, add, remove, etc. The other guy has a good feedback, so I'm not too worried about them trying to swindle me or anything. Finally, everything is decided, addresses have been swapped, and then....silence. Lots of silence. I usually send messages like "I'll be sure to head out to the post office to mail your coins this week, hope you are able to as well, hint, hint", and stuff like that, I get no response. Then I start wondering if they actually are going to send anything, then a week passes, and I look like a lying fool. Finally I have to send the coins, and a week or so after that I get a message "I sent them as well". WHY CAN'T THEY EVER SEND FIRST?! Edited by Babar 11/05/2012 10:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

They don't know you and don't trust people from certain countries 3. If they don't like what you send, you would get nothing 4. Why should they if you do? 5. This way they have nothing to loose but you do. Report this Post to the Staff

Babar Valued Member Pakistan 207 Posts	Posted 11/05/2012 12:01 pm Hahahaha...but THEY don't know that! And I don't mean they expect to receive their coins first, I mean, they want me to inform them that I have posted their coins first (along with a tracking ID, usually), before they go and post my coins. And thank god, although the postal service here is headache-inducingly slow, I've yet to lose a package I sent (although one got sent as regular mail by mistake after I paid for registered mail).
