That's ridiculous. I've been doing deals here since I was like 14 or 15. Sounds like the guy just wanted an excuse to back out of the trade.

WTH? I'm 23 and I have 160 heatware to my name. Been trading since I was 17.

AND FYI, informal polls have shown that a good chunk of people on this board are under 25 years of age. Could you PM me the name of the idiot so I don't have to waste my time with him?

I'm only 16 and I've had around 10 transactions via forums on the internet... I guess some people just need to think clearly about buying or selling stuff... and make their mind up before they go out and back out in the middle of a transaction...

If the trader had refused a deal because the other was 16, I would be more understanding of a his wariness, because while there are some GOOD younger traders, many of the trolls have been underage and in care of their parents. Most of the trouble I've had with younger traders involves their lack of communication or transportation problems.
