I can't be the only seller getting messages from these homebums of SR, they say they want to buy a pricey item from me but are a couple dollars short, they don't ask for a custom listing, they ask me to send them the difference, any time I have done this, I never hear from them again! I would rather give that money to a dirty street bum then some digital beggar sitting in their moms basement!
If you are a few dollars short, try your luck at a BTC casino, or have some patience and wait until it is worth a little more, or, the option I will now give people, send me everything you have and if you really are that close, I'll send what you want... They want me to send money out of escrow with no real guarentee, so why not ask them for the same thing? My stats are great and public info, if you don't trust me, what makes you think I should trust you? I am not going to waste any more time on custom listings that never sell, not sending money to any beggars, not falling for your sob story! There is no "Take a BTC, leave a BTC" jar on my desk, sorry!
Everyone!!! Refuse to support cyber beggars!!! Every IRL store I know would kick a beggar out, make the bum sit on a cold sidewalk and ask for change there! If you are a few bucks short, do what all the other bums do for their drug fix, sit on the sidewalk with a sign, wash some car windshields, blow a business man behind a dumpster, then take the money you made, buy some more BTC, then come buy my drugs!!!
Maybe I'm a little riled up, but I just don't get these people that believe they are entitled to free money!

Ugh yes. The scum of SR. You can find their home over at the Official Spare Coins Thread. Offering free samples is like throwing bread crumbs at a new york park; pigeons descend from every corner grabbing yanking and pulling without a hello or goodbye.
"PLEASE SIR CAN I HAVE JUST 0.01 BITCOIN? I NEED IT TO FEED ME KIDS AN MY WIFE"

Don't give in to these... persons. They are panhandling.
So they come to you with promises of future opportunity if only you could show them kindness now. Consider, they have been doing this from a point a little after SR started.
If you must reply, direct them to go look up BTC faucets. There are a few out there they can try to exploit.

I will direct them to this forum topic! I am sick of these beggars!

I though it was just me, these fucking hobo's piss me off. They would get a backhander asking any street dealer for strap of any sort. It's this dealing etiquette these pricks can't grasp. That hairy fucking mary666 is the main instigator.
Like I said get of your ass and do some graft like we have to.

YOU are actually getting scammed by the piece of shit PERKY. Well in your case...you didn't fall for it. And you give a great explanation of how to avoid it if you are a vendor... you just tell them that you will make a custom listing for the amount they have. Of course he WILL NEVER buy the listing.
He has been pulling this for over a year...and you would be shocked how many vendors fall for it. Not just once..but a few times ...meaning he contacted the vendor and said I want to purchase X but I am .25 short....and the vendor sends him the .25...then he says..." thanks for the .25...BUT since you sent it to me...the btc fluctuated again! And now I am .18 short...and then the vendor sent .18 to him!!!
This has happened multiple times as there was a thread about him and this very scam in the vendor thread and a couple vendors came forward to say they got taken.
This is TOTALLY different then a buyer being a few dollars short, meaning .05 btc, for an order and someone helping them out. And that is what the Spare Coins thread is all about. Sure there are lying scumbags in there...but I would say 98% of the members just really need the help. And luckily for this thread ..they can get it. Also this thread helps many a vendor as the people could not make the purchase or would need to make one for less if they did not get the few dollars they needed.
In this thread these two things were totally blurred. They are VERY DIFFERENT. The one the OP is talking about is a scam attempt. Period. And the OP just didn't realize that is what it is. It is not someone asking for free shit or someone that is trying to get the vendor to hook them up. In fact he was not a cyber beggar at all. He is a total thief that is a broke dick and is addicted to drugs. And he gets them by scamming members and getting vendors to give him money.
-
Are you fucking serious, people contact vendors and ask them to send the alleged difference between what they have and the listing price so they can order then fuck off with the coins? I don't know what is more retarded, buyers asking for the BTC or vendors actually sending it.
-
A nice feature request would be "ignore user".
Quite frankly, I wish certain vendors wouldn't show up in my search results -so it could be beneficial for both sides of the equation.
-
God damn cyber hippies, get a TORjob!
-
I totally agree Rx. The thing is though, it's always the same people, now a couple of them are decent, and they use it as a sort of club where they meet and chat. Which is fine, but this mary666 is a proper pauper, scavenging like a vulture. Every fucking day, in and out she will be there, tom thumbing ( bumming). Then the little snake just trotts in and out of other threads, wont bother to read them, just straight in and troll troll troll, and then back the club. mary666 (sic) I hope they can see you're unquantifiably disturbed, and judgment day is coming. Tick Tock.

OP may want to reword the part where it could be misconstrued that he's open to dealing out of escrow. Pretty sure he didn't mean it like that, but it's ambiguous.

I guess the wording could be seen that way, but no beggar is going to send me their money anyways, so it's kind of a moot point.
"Hey homeless guy, you want a dollar? Ok, let me get the $19 you bummed today and I'll come back in 10 min with a $20 for ya!" No bum would go for that, even if it was true, and no beggar is ever going to send me their money!

Ive helped a few people that was short on there order and needed to borrow I don't mind I'm sure it will come back to you in some sort of way, I'm sure we have all been short one time in our life and needed a extra hand to help us out, I always give donations at stores bums on the street etc, I feel privileged just being able to be a part of the SR community. I don't like when I see people posting and begging and leaving a bunch of posts on three diff sections though I think it is annoying and they shouldn't order something that they can't afford. Also asking to borrow anything $5 and under I could see reasonable that they probably got there calculations wrong and that's why there short I don't mind helping them, but I been seeing people ask for $25 dollars and what not seriously that's not being short that's asking us to support your drug habit not cool peoples. Also if your always short and asking that's a pattern and there running game short once in awhile but all the time come on don't take advantage of people's kindness. Me personally I would never post on here asking but that's just me, and I always buy more coin than I need to make sure I'm not short, then what ever I got left I stoll thru the forums looking for people that are short and seem like they really need it and aren't just panhadling.

I get 1-3 a month begging for .04-.1 but BTC value changes so much and so fast, they could just place the order in an hour instead of right now! I have given plenty of money and food to homeless people and people just down on their luck, but there is no reason to give money to some teenager who's mommy didn't give them enough drug money in this weeks allowance!
I met a homeless guy in a popular beach town in California one time, I talked with and hung out with the guy for a while and he told me he has brought in over 200$ in less then 4 hours on a good day, he also told me that a lot of homeless people in the right towns bring in over $100k a year! Kinda makes you rethink that $7/hr McDonalds job! There are people making a living wage just by holding their hand out while other people work 2 jobs and are still falling further into debt and I do not support that!
I prefer to buy a homeless person food over give them money, and these digital beggars I try to give them the desired product at a reduced price, but just like the crack smoking homeless people that don't want food, these beggars don't really want my product, just my money! If you really are a little short, ask for a custom listing instead of free money! Still might not get it, but I will respect you more!

Yeah, I knew you were just having a laugh, but some people are dicks and like to manipulate things. They can't now. ;)

"PLEASE SIR CAN I HAVE JUST 0.01 BITCOIN? I NEED IT TO FEED ME KIDS AN MY WIFE"
If it wasn't for the spare coin thread vendors wouldn't have some of the orders they get if generous people over there weren't loaning coin!! IMO it's one of the best threads in this forum with decent people! If there's scum in the spare coin thread mate then fuck knows what you are, CUNT!!
-
Okay, looking through this thread -the comparison has been made to giving money to street beggars. Never, NEVER give money to a panhandler. Volunteer at a soup kitchen if you feel the need but these people probably are making more money than me.
Example 1: http://youtu.be/krg5r6n0kr4 (Sorry if video is hard on our Tor network)
Thousands more examples where this came from.
People who really need the money ie insane unemployable people -just aren't very good at panhandling. The people who rise to the top of this profession are grifters.
I imagine someone who is sophisticated enough to know what a bitcoin is -is also clever enough to make money spinning some story.
-
LMAO...i never get those, but i get the "hey im interested in buying a large amount of "x" if you can send me a free sample i would be a long time buyer" i just laugh it off and never respond. Im sure they succeed sometimes with that line hahahahaha.

who cares that people beg or ask its them doing it now have a little respect, if it bothers you that much then ignore them is all, not everybody can be snooty or have money like you. How do you know they aint get robbed or lost a job or fucked up a pack or ordered something that didnt make it you people are quick to fucking judge and its hillarious. You know what I grew up dirt fucking poor with three bedrooms and father in my life I used hand me down clothes for the longest times. You don't know there problems for christ your on SR buying fucking drugs you can't support a penny, these people may have kids to take care of you people just sit around and laugh about it why cause your a follower or does it make you feel better that on here you can be anything you want yet your prolly some fucking dweeb that jerks his meat to his dads porn stash. Anything can happen at any minute. You could be a baller until the police bust your cocky ignorant ass and then you have shit cause your girl gonna be fucing your best friend prolly taking it in the ass on your wno bed, them people you clown about can turn out to be you. I been poor and lived on the street but never ever begged for money and thats for only one reason alone so I didnt pop bitches you like you in the face. What makes you so perfect that buy drugs so fucking what your prolly selling to little kids at that. They have there own section so leave them fuck alone or you that boring of a person or some insecure lil prick that knocks others to make yourself look good. Maybe they are rich and that's there game if there willing to put aside there pride, whats wron with your seriously get soemthing else to talk about. On that note on my way to help people iin need try it sometime might make you feel better. deuces

I have been poor and down on my luck, squatting in an abandon house or under a bridge, but I never asked for money, I earned my keep no matter how far down I was. I respect that you never begged, but I think you got the point of this all wrong. You want to hang out in the spare coins thread, have fun, but no one should be messaging vendors asking them to send them money and it happens quite often! What if I needed extra money one week, should I message all my old buyers and ask if they have some extra money they don't need? All I''m saying is you shouldn't directly ask someone for their money, if you need it, put a post up in the right part of the forum and hope some nice person comes along and helps you out.
The spare coins thread is like someone with a sign that asks for money, it is indirect and if you want to give, you give, they are grateful. But the people messaging me asking is like a stranger tapping me on the shoulder while I'm having a conversation and asking for $3, it is targeted, invasive, offensive and just flat out rude in my mind!
-
I think there's a big difference between scam attempts and the spare coins thread. I've certainly never asked anyone for a loan (I'm on some grown man shit), but almost everyone I've lent a small amount to has paid me back. Surprising really, that in a totally anonymous community, it's been safer to loan a few bucks here than IRL. I've probably lent about 10 different people 0.01-0.2 btc, and all but one paid me back when they said they would, and most sent back a little extra as thanks. YMMV of course.

I agree with you completely ;) I don,t know why the spare coin thread got brought up in a bad way in this thread to start with, oh yeah it was the NS troll ;) Its there and it mostly works. No one should ever be asking a vendor, some people have a brass neck :o lol
-
Get a legit hustle, spare coins = fucking stupied.
-
I kind of understand how it happens though. I bought enough BTC to cover a purchase and by the time the coins were in I was under $1 short. A few cents is irrelevant - no option to buy!
Instead of messaging the Vendor I went to a different Vendor and bought something cheaper. I wonder if the original Vendor would have preferred that or would have preferred a sub-dollar hit.
I have no way of knowing because I didn't beg.
-
A lot of vendors do not mind if a buyer is a fraction of a BTC too short. They will make them a custom listing.
But those getting up and arms over a "snooty attitude" failed to realize that when many vendors do offer to make a custom listing to fit the budget of these "beggars," they decline and ask for the BTC themselves. That's a scam.
BTW, watch out for a buyer that goes by the name i3lazd - runs around asking for samples from as many vendors as he/she can. One vendor who got pissed off at this person who sends you their address along with their hand out request, got banned for being mean to him. Banned? Yep.
So have a polite boilerplate decline message saved that you can copy and paste each time these scamming beggars as for something.

When asked for money to cover the difference, instead I offer to make a custom listing, I think most vendors would happily make a custom listing, I am just tired of doing that for people that never buy the custom listing, just wasting my time. Any time I have been asked for a custom listing, I have made it, I think 20% of them have sold!
I get people asking for BTC so they can buy my 5g listing, I would prefer they just bought the 3g listing which they could afford and not waste my time.
-
I only used the official spare coins page once. I needed like 4 bucks, and a user sent me $40 by mistake. I could have easily ran off with the extra $36, but I sent it back. Not only that, but i paid the guy like 12 or 15 dollars back the next time i bought BTC. Not all beggars are scummy lol
-
Hey guys, my dick recently fell off. The doctors have no explanation for it I guess it just get tired of its home and decided to pack its shit and move. Good news is the doctors told me I can get a new dick if you guys give me bitcoins. My address is:

God bless

HAHA, And the sad thing is, that isn't even the most bogus story I have heard from a SR beggar!
-
I'm cool with giving out less than a dollar anytime if someone needs it and i won't expect anything back but not today hahaha losers and not for a few months so don't fucking message me
-
Well, Lets call it lending.
-
I would never give someone on SR bitcoin's i mean i like you guys and everything. But i got kids to feed fuck you SR bums :)
-
Take what DPR said, and intergrate it into your life, think of others, and you will be automatically looked after, pray for others and good luck will become you.
-
Well, Lets call it lending.
I am not talking about lending, I'm talking about people who say "Hey, I want to buy your _______ but I am .04 BTC short, could you send it to me so I can buy it?" And then with the 3 people I did do this for, I never got the order and never heard from them again. This is not "lending" this is small level scamming. If you want a loan, go to the spare coins thread, don't ask a vender just because you know they have some money, I'm not waiting outside your bank for you to cash your paycheck!

Yes I agree with you 100% on that if you need to borrow ask in the thread do not be sending me a pm and asking to borrow especially if you don't even know me. It is rude and invasive.
