I don't do alot of trading anymore but when I did back then I didn't meet any friendly russians. I now know one who sells me craft hats once in a while but that's it. One out of 50+ russians turned out to be cool.
My encounters with russians mostly involved them lowballing, begging me to accept WAY under what my item was worth and/or trying to scam me.
It isn't right to say all russians are scammers but the majority of them are.

Don't judge a Book by its cover. Judge on Merit.
I know a few really decent Russian guys can't fault them for greed or anything like that, genuinely friendly helpful, kind people.
Its like saying all us Irish are Drunks lol. Stereotypes can be dangerous. But that isn't saying there aren't a lot of Russian scammers.

There's nothing wrong with stereotyping. It's what makes this lovely world we live in, go round.
For instance, I'm Puerto Rican.
So... I will:
Spray Graffiti all over your house.
Carjack you.
Impregnate your teenage girls.
Visit your home heavily intoxicated, and steal your watch before I go.
Once our trade is completed, I will stab you in the back and claim self-defense.
Oh, and just for the record, I've been told I look Italian.
:wink:

That movie taught me one thing: Russians are built like robots.
On a side note, I have yet to meet a nice and polite Russian trade, though I haven't gone out of my way to search for them. I'm sure there are some good and bad russian traders as the same can be said about english traders.
