Yeah it's a tough one. I try and weed out who I will deal with and who I wont. Sure people can be sincere with intentions.. but I'm one that will tell you that if I do not want to deal with you. I just flat out will not deal with you. I don't particularly care if you are selling or purchasing.
If you feel that you are getting rubbed the wrong way, then it is best to avoid yourself the aggravation and patiently wait to deal with someone that you feel is going to give you courtesy during your purchase/exchange.

Honestly I'm confused here.

What is the definition of bad goods? You buying a fish and it dying in a day really doesn't strike me as bad goods lol.

If I bought something from someone and they were a "stand up guy" and the fish died I wouldn't come to the conclusion that they jerked me...

Is this person a vendor? A stealth vendor? Or just a hobbyist like most of us?

I just had a fish die overnight for no apparent reason..

There's obviously so many things that could of happen. saltwater livestock can be easily stressed especially tangs! Especially if someone bullied him, bad acclimation or even just bad luck. Temp changes etc..

If you deal with someone and you come to the conclusion That they ripped you off there must have been other things that brought you to that conclusion.. Unless your just being unreasonable. Which I doubt you are..

You haven't really given too much information!
+1 I think you need to put more details out there not say to name any names but what kind of fish was it what kind of tank did it come out of and go into what other fish were in with it before you got it?no one wants to loose a fish they just got but it does happen... Sometimes for no good reason..

Dont do this dubs. Every time somone does the mods close the thread by saying "use the reefer rating system"
You may have gotten treated poorly by someone. But think about all the times you dealt with people who were really good to you. I'm sure it out weighs the bad. I know it does for me.
I say blast this person with a bad reefer rating once a week.

The reefer rating is very subjective and anyone can write whatever they want. For example I had given someone a nuetral rating because of how he handled the situation and whatnot. Anyway out of spite he turned around and gave me a negative rating on a rbta trade. Never heard from him since the trade but after I gave him a neutral rating he inturn gave me a negative out of spite because I spoke the truth. Anyway I gave him a nuetral rating to be fair than he gave me a negative rating unjustly. So the reefer rating is subjective.

How about just chockin it up to you now know 2 people you won't deal with anymore and moving on.

Nobody will like everybody they meet or deal with. We all lose livestock whether you buy it from a LFS or another member. It's part of the hobby, if you feel they got over on you and were TRYING to get over on you, you know they're not good people.

Put them on your "I will never deal with these people" list and call it a day. Lifes to short to argue and be pissed over a bad experience or 2 in a hobby.

its hard to give a bad reefer rating for livestock that dies. i bought a frag a couple of months back and it died in 3 days but i cant say it was on him. maybe it didnt like my water or maybe it was unhealthy when i bought it who knows. if the guy was a total D then i can see leaving a bad rating. livestock is funny. i had bought fish from a lfs that died quickly and i bought fish from that same store that has been with me for years so im not going to stop shopping there because 1 or 2 fish didnt do well
