One of the guys at CF(ormazd) has gone to a lot of trouble to make up a list of bad traders and out & out scum bags. The majority of those listed have only transgressed at CF until now, but it is only a matter of time before they find their way over here. He would also be willing to add any bad traders that show up over here to the list.
Just email him with the details. Here is the link:

Sh_t, what's next, an anthrax laden cigar???

We've seen Sterno over here, but I don't recognize any others. Thanks for the heads up.

I didnt check the handle before buying some Climmax beads on ebay. mhotek (bargainhum)
Paid e-check. Almost two weeks later I PM him and he quickly responds. " We have been trying to get that inventory for 4 weeks.." What the heck. Would
have been nice to know he didnt have any in stock before I paid. I ordered from Climmax and it came within the week.

mhotek, barginhumidors.com has been known to be slow in the customer service department, which is inexcusable, but he does ship the products. I wouldn't suggest ordering from him if you are in a hurry.

ordered a 100 count for the girlfriend saturday, i'll post when it gets here. I ordered from bargainhumidors in the past and had a very good experience. We'll see this time

Thanks for posting the link. I've saved it on my favs for quick ref.

The list on that site is NOT comprehensive, but it does contain some great information.

Would it also be a good idea to post peoples names on a list that you have had a good experience with?

Dragon, That would be a great idea. It would be even nicer if CA would put a traders comments section that would pop up with everyones profile.
The only down side to that might be that it could make it easy for trolls to post bad comments about a good trader just for spite. Other sites do have a traders comments area. It helps.

Thanks for the heads Up.

Montegrl,

I've had good results from BarginHumidors.com but they are slow. I think it is a part-time gig for them. I noticed they were out of stock on climax beads when I visited the other day though. Keep us posted on your order.

MrCoin '
thanks for the warning. Good to know we have people looking out for all of our best interests.

Salute

Update, I ordered a 'dor for the girlfrriend saturday morning and got it today (thusday) I bought a second and could hardly find the blem.

I have had good luck with Bargan Humidors.

I've had good luck with BargainHumidors.com. The shipping was not unusually fast or irritatingly slow. I bought one of those Gettysburg humidors, climax beads 65%, and a couple of humibags.

Update on beads.
Still waiting.

Update - Company emailed me and took care of it.
Got a refund.

Joe West is a bad trader/scumbag! He practicly begged me to split 3 cabinets of 50 with him, then never sent the check nor will reply to my emails. He owes me over $300..thankfully I didn't send him the cigars, but the point is he made a deal and didn't keep his end, so I got more cigars than I wanted.
