What do you consider Established Heat?

1-10, I will be wary

11-30, Pretty safe depending on the price of the item

31-70, You have really made an effort to make all your trades work out.

71-125, Good Trader

125-200, Great Trader

200+ You are a FS/FT Guru

500+ Wow, just wow.

With all due respect (sluggo is one of our better traders), that's just silly. The number of trades means little, up to a point. A person could have 201 trades and lots of comments that reflect things like slow shipping, poor communication, etc.

My standards:
Less than 50, you ship first. Any negatives or neutrals that weren't resolved to the satisfaction of both parties, you ship first.
If you have 50+ positive I will pay first even though I may have more Heat than you. Unless something seems hinky about the deal.

One other thing I look at. If they have their rig in their sig, I assume that they are not very bright and might have trouble following through on a deal.

I say it also depends on the heat left, if its for stickers I dont care if you have 50. I only have 8, but everyone I have dealt with is satisfied with that because of who the heat has come from, whats been said, and what has been sold/bought. If I dont rip someone off on $1600 in giftcards... dont think I will on a $100 piece of ram or something. And the fact Ive been a member for 5 years.... someone new with 20 heat on $3l items, that joined 3 weeks ago, is semi suspicious.

I have a Dell Dimension 4600. But I'm not a hardcore 1337 gamer hax0rz like you guys are.

My most "intense" applications are Trillian and FireFox, so that's why I had to upgrade to a P4 2.8/800

I have always wondered why people put their rig in their sig

I follow the rule that if you have less heat then me you will be shipping first. If we have an equal amount cross shipping works. If you have more than myself I ship first. I believe that is the common pratice in ATFS/FT.

i don't know many people with as much heatware as you have that deal this way. Generally if they have over 25 and i can recognize who they have delt with and if they have recent trades I have no problem cross shipping.

Agreed. I have never heard of what I highlighted above.

I just meant that we have this for a reason.

I think I have 1 heat.

But it's from RossMAN, so that should be good enough.

Doesn't look like you left him any. What's up with that?

EDIT
Maybe I should leave him some for all the bandwidth I bought from him?

I'd say 20 but I also look at how long they have been trading. i.e: 20+ heat all in 2005 = not totally established / 20+ heat starting in 2002 to 2005 = established.
