i've seen the mods mention several times in the BTA that they "don't want another redbeard" or something like that, and i've seen that the member redbeard is banned. I'm really new to motl, so i'm wondering if i missed a large scandal or something regarding this user?

I dunno if it has anything to do with the banning, but he was a ridiculously arrogant *******, if that counts for anything. Loved to undervalue your cards and overvalue his own. __________________ "Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost." -- Ronald Reagan

One of my first trades here (actually it was an acquisition) was with Redbeard. He somehow managed to create a new account with 20-something refs and I had 0 refs, so I sent the money first. I had checked his nickname and email adress in the BTA and CBT lists and even checked his refs myself, so I was pretty sure it was all good.A day or 2 after sending the money I decided to check the name on the paypal invoice as well and was shocked to find this guy What followed were a week and a half where I thought I'd been taken for about $100 and I wasn't sure how I could've prevented it... Then his cards showed up anyway (!), but most were in horrible condition. Because he'd been banned again by some swift mod-justice, I decided the best thing to do was be happy that I got anything at all and move on. And to add to the list of MOTL badguys, I think this new impersonator guy must have entered the top 5 by now.

This is not the main issue. He was the one who graded the cards terribly(Well, there are couple of MOTL-ers too!). At my PM, he insulted that Singaporeons are very bad at grading cards! That was the period of time when i had couple of deals from him in the year of 2009. He was in the wrong, yet he came out with this kind of bs. I believe that people who dealt with him before, would know about his grading of cards! I hate his PM of stating that Singaporeons are very bad of grading cards, yet his grading is very awful! I do not have that PM anymore, else i will expose it here!!

For the record, I had a couple of deals with him back in 2008 I think. A bit arrogant at first, yes, but I never had any serious problems. I've had my cards undervalued by more from waaay more reputable members of this forum, whose cards they overpriced more than Terrence did.He traded me a set of Beta S2P which was as described wrt condition, and 100% sure they were real as well. Why he jumps from BTA w/ "ruling in his favor" to Banned (for double T/A & Sales post if I remember correctly) to confirmed Bad Trader I have *no* idea. No offense to CoupDeGrace, but there are much worse people out there to trade with who never touched the BTA.

Eh, I traded with him a few times. He liked to haggle; I'm fine with it. All deals that I did with him were reasonably fair.__________________ #1 in posts from Brazil! #3 in Refs from Brazil; Got any Portuguese Foils? Post on my list or email me at valter.cid@gmail.com !

His ''NM-'' was actually ''POOR''. On top of that he under valued people's cards and overvalued his. Made the mistake of giving him a 2nd chance and I got screwed again.Why am I frustrated all of a sudden? :P
