Trade Rant Thread

[Jimmy]

I don't bother with people who ask to be friends like that, in my books, friendships are earned not asked for. It's like going up to a complete stranger on a train and asking them to be your friend, completely unaware of the hunting knife strapped to their shin.

I hate people who say that the pets in the store aren't worth that much. Or even worth an older pet. I'm sorry I paid cash REAL MONEY for my store pets, all you did was happen to be a member a year ago. Not really the same thing. Your pet was free, don't assign it a value it doesn't have.

And in the end, the value will always be what anyone is willing to give for it.

I try to give the benefit of the doubt when I'm online (I'm sure that sounds counter-intuitive), as I never share any identifying info for myself or my family--not only that, but I've some very good friends I met through the interwebs.

That said, I think it's safe to say I'll probably view anyone askance at this point...not unusual--I'm not skilled at making friends to begin with.

Exactly--there are commons I'll trade something more valuable for just because I like them.

Oh, this is good. And I want peoples opinions on what my reply should be.

First, I get the trade:


I'm thinking, 'What, no more pets?', so I look through their trade group and find:



I was going to rant then, but thought I should ask exactly what was meant by the 'nothing left in account' thing.
So I've message them, and they've messaged back, and so and so forth, until:



At first I was like,
Than I was like,
And now, this might be my reply message:

Well then, how about you try looking on the forums instead of trying to gaff a ghost mellow for two measly 2nd gens?
I wont accept anything less than a june/july 09 for a ghost mallow.

Unless

1. Some says it could get me in trouble with mods OR
2. Someone suggests a better 'no' line.

Aw. I wish I could think of something bitter and amusing for you to respond with.
Unfortunately at 2:14am the best I can come up with is "Stupid trade is stupid." =/

[GingaSnaps]

I would look through their trades and find something worth it and send them that.

I've done that it tends to make people mad "you mean you want to have a fair trade? I was looking to rip you off ! *le gasp*!"

[Madame Butterfly]

Yeah, try to trade for something better.

Or say "Well then... no." And cancel.

[gay]

I never edit into fair trades when people send me unfair trades because the person normally doesn´t have anything rare.

My normal replies to unfair trades are: "Pfft... no." or "Bite me". The person tends to apologize if I type the latter. xD

These last two days have been peaceful. No PM's asking for my faves, no bad trades. No item trades <3.

*snort* Mainly because, I have just 2 Pets, n___n
