"I FE'd for a vendor and got scammed..."

Why the fuck do people do this?

Every time I read about how someone got scammed, someone else asks if they disputed it, and the response is usually "I FE'd lolz".

I understand FE'ing for a price reduction from a trusted vendor. But FE'ing only because the vendor is trusted, with no benefit to you? Or Fe'ing for a vendor that is not trusted and you gain no benefit?

Fucking WHY? someone PLEASE explain this to me

Well, this has happened to me before and it was because it was a product that I had to specifically source from them so therefore it was on their terms. The only other time I can see this happening is if you only have "x" amount of coin and the vendor is the only one offering the amount you want at the price you want or whatever specifications you may have. Not really an excuse though I do see why it happens.

I've fe'd for vendors Ive used and if everything was good the first time I'd fe if I used them again

Some of the best vendors IMO only work through FE. NRP and kacikz for example, I've FE'd ~$7000 betwen the two and haven't had a problem yet. Knock on wood though, I know its a dangerous game.

I always FE because i think its a way to show respect and seriousness about the bussiness to the vendor.

It has the risk of losing the money, yes; but i care more about my moral about bussiness instead a printed paper so fuck it.
