Alright, I'm not one to bitch and moan, but this is the only way I know how to warn others about Bosshogg.
On Monday I go out and buy a MP after work and come home to get it exchanged for some bitcoins. BTCmaster isn't available, so I send Bosshogg a PM after seeing his rates posted on the forums. He responds within the hour, the MP is cashed right away, and then nothing. Here's our conversation (paraphrased of course, but all messages are saved for evidence), spacing indicates different days:
Me: MP to BTC?
Bosshogg: send it over
Me: [MP Info]
Me: How much longer?
Bosshogg: I accidentally sent someone else your coins, trying to get them back
Me: You already cashed my MP, you have the money, can I just get the coins?
Bosshogg: working as fast as I can, sorry.... blah blah blah bullshit
Bosshogg: how much do I owe you bro?
Me: 27 bitcoins
Me: How much longer?
Me: Wow, guess I was a sucker that got scammed... :'(
Haven't heard from him for 2 days and I highly doubt I'll ever see my bitcoins. 5 days since the MP was cashed, have yet to see a cent of it.
I have no one to blame but myself, but I hope that by posting this I can prevent others from being a dumbass and getting scammed like I was.
And of course if Bosshogg wants to be a man and honor our deal, I'll be kind and courteous and take this down; however, I don't see this happening.
Now, feel free to commence with the I told you so's...

At least you learned your lesson. I would never deal with that fuckhead. No pgp key and he barely speaks english, =D damn trailerpark rednecks. I'm surprised he hasn't been arrested yet, if LE is going to target anyone it should be him, he'd be so easy to bust.

No "I told you so's" here hun. So sorry that happened to you. I was about to do a mp order with him, and he told me it would take about 8 hours, and for some reason that set of warning bells in my head. I went to chronic crew and had my coins in less than an hour. I was going to order some of the go fast as well, and I don't know. I mean, maybe I am wrong, but dramatic price drop, and finalize early, on top of that super low price for a gram? nope. it sucks, but it happens to all of us sooner or later. When I have access to western union, I always use the clearnet exchanger wm-center. they are quick, with low fees, and a solid rep. that might be the way to go in the future if you are interested. No chance of getting burned... xoxo sickgirl

Yeah, needless to say I'll be having to switch up my btc-buying method as it seems like honest MP to BTC vendors are few and far between these days.
What gets me is that he sells products legitimately, but then decides to scam over something small like a MP. Why bother when you're selling drugs at those prices? Some people... >:(
-
I remember when he first came around. I read his vendor page and decided he was an idiot. I'm sorry you got scammed by him - like you said it doesn't even make sense when he sells drugs at those outrageous prices. The only thing I would have ever wanted from him was the PCP but now I'll avoid him altogether, thanks man.

Sorry for your loss, Bones.
Any chance y'all would be willing to support this? http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=33818.0
EDIT: I'm not trying to push my own agenda, here. I'm just tired of seeing threads like this(because it sucks for the buyer), so I think it is beyond time that buyer-protections be implemented for bitcoin-vendors.

Totally willing to support that 100%
Hell, I felt bad making this thread after reading 10 other similar ones in the past week, but I'd rather warn others before they get scammed too. BTC vendors on SR need to be held accountable!

Just read his profile page. That alone should steer you in the right direction.

Just throwing it out there a month or so ago I did a mp to BTC with the boss. It went smooth except it did take a bit longer than most. He took care of me though and I hope he comes through for you.

How long is 'a bit longer' though?
It's been a full week since the MP was cashed and at least 4 days since he's responded to me. He's ready most of the messages I've sent him, just no response and no bitcoins.

Bosshogg being professional about the whole situation:
$240 MP, which at the time it was cashed was worth 27 bitcoins. I'm holding him to the agreed-upon rate when the MP was cashed ~11 days ago.
The worst part is that he's been taking other orders and has been updating his vendor profile daily (to reflect MP exchange rates) but can't bother with me :-\
So here I wait...
some time ago, I tried to warn people about this vendor and received negative karma for it.
I wish I had read your post beforehand, or had just been more patient and waited to find a new vendor to deal with.
EAT 3 DICKS AND YOU GUESSED IT...CALL ME IN THE MORN!!!!

First message sent to Bosshogg: http://xfq5l5p4g3eyrct7.onion/view.php?image=5af126c6ca6f0463ca054167f0fce2d9.jpg

Taken 2 days ago; it's now been a full 2 weeks since the MP was cashed. I am now a "faggot scammer" according to Bosshogg, even though he's the one scamming me.
Oh well, such is SR!
-
Just out of interest BonesJones why did you want to go with BossHogg? He's erratic as fuck.

Well 2 weeks ago today, I was coming home from work and decided to stop and get a MP so I could come home, exchange it for some BTC and get myself some lovely cocaine for a party that was going to occur that weekend. I figured if I exchanged the coins on Monday, and placed my order that same day, I'd have my product by Saturday.
So I log on both SR and the forums and send out some PMs to see who's available. From what I saw, most of the MP to BTC vendors that I've dealt with in the past aren't trading (or at least aren't taking MPs anymore). I then stumble upon Bosshogg's posting about exchanging MPs to BTC for a good rate. I figured, despite the little voice in my head warning me 'no!,' to send him a PM on SR and see what he could do. Well, 2 weeks later (since the MP was cashed by Bosshogg), I've yet to see anything.
So I went against my better judgement, due to time constraints, and attempted to do business with Bosshogg. This is what I get for it :-\
-
Bummer man. :( You might as well call him out if that's the case.

That's what I've been doing Lim. Unfortunately there's no way I can make him give me the coins, so I'll be posting here for awhile it looks like. Oh well
You know what you did Bosshogg; man up and send me my coins like an honest vendor would.
