Can almost trade with Rube when I shouldn't be able to

When the Rube is somewhere 'for <someone else>', I can talk to him once he's finished trading with the other player, and he offers a trade. Not sure if I can accept it, haven't tried, but if I click on 'show me what else youve got', he and the dialog box vanish instantly. Not like his usual fading out, but a sudden, abrupt vanishing.
I have seen this happen twice now.

  • It's possible to accept those last-minute trades.  I *think* this behavior is intentional.

  • I've managed to do it before- I think it's mostly down to timing.

  • Just saw him again, and accepted the first offer. It didn't go through - Rube you fickle tease!

    He did, this time, blink out of existence before I clicked accept (not his dialog box though). So maybe it goes through if you're really quick? I don't think it's intentional - I've spoken to him at other times and he says something along the lines of "Don't talk to me now, I'm thinking".

  • Yes, I saw this happen yesterday. He wasn't there for me, but he made me an offer anyway. I asked what else he had and he disappeared.
