When I got to the actual trade I saw that they must have removed their pet or something, because in actuality they were offering nothing.

Was that some kind of scam that I would have fallen for if I would have clicked faster and possibly accepted before looking?


Yes, something like happened to me once. They offered a trade asking for a common pet of mine offering a rare-ish pet in return, then edited it and swapped the pets around, taking my rare-ish pet and giving me the common one. And I was naive and trusting enough not to realise and I accepted :x (Thinking to myself "OK, if you're sure..." Perhaps it was karma biting me in the backside for not offering more for a rareish pet XD but they did start the trade..)
Luckily Nick came to my rescue and replaced my missing pets <3

Okay, so I may be quite new on the site, but I'm not a complete MORON.
I wouldn't post this is the person was very new on the site, but they joined 2008.

I saw a thread in which the owner was looking for candy. I sent a trade on some common robot dogs, offering candy, since I collect the robots. I get the trade sent back to me.

Their side: 5 common robot dogs

My side: 2 lollies. Cerberos. Wood Angel. Drink Me dog. Eat Me dog. Red Halloween newborn dog. Two roadkill newborns.

Message:
I don't know, is this okay? I really want a wood winged, or cerberus, I will trade a 08' for all of these pets if it is okay with you.


...HOW SWEET OF YOU TO OFFER ONE 08 DOG. BECAUSE THE CERBERUS ALONE OBVIOUSLY COULDN'T GET ME AT LEAST 10.

I love the Cancel Trade button. I'd marry it if it were possible.

Holy crud! That's terrible! 0_o How could people think that was possibly fair? I'm pretty bad at rarities and I still know that's totally unfair..

And yes, definitely <3 for the cancel button!

WELL. Now I'm annoyed.

Got a trade a few hours ago.

They wanted from me: Ice Shima PPS
They offered: Nouky cage newborn, horse newborn.
Message: No message.

So I cancelled it with the message "I don't trade for newborns."

I logged out, then when I got back I had this message in a PM: "Why not?"

So I replied with this message:

Kiara wrote:Because:

a) I've already adopted to the limit, I don't need anymore until they've grown up.
b) No one can tell their rarities yet, for all we know they could be common.
c) The pet you asked for was uncommon, worth at least a September 08 pet.


xDD

Oh, but if they're newborns they might grow up into some uber-ultra-rare pet no one has seen before, so that makes them worth way more than any old Ice PPS; really, you should be thanking them for offering such a great deal! [/sarcasm] :lol: I've had a couple like that offering newborns for older pets - sometimes I take them if the dog they want isn't worth a huge lot and they ask nicely, but most of the time, no. Wow, DiabolicReality, that's a terrible trade. o.O The Wood Angel alone is worth more than most '08s.

I was pretty nice to them. I put right before canceling the trade "I don't see anything offered here..."

Oh and I can't forget to mention someone who offered me one of those mint green and brown frog butterfly wolves for my dark purple one. They suggested it may be a pet I don't have, but I have quite a bit. I just happen to not care as much for that color as some of the others of that set so I put all but one in my trades. The dark purple butterfly wolf was traded to me as sort of a gift from a friend in exchange for the rare spider I had available.

At least it wasn't one of the more common butterfly wolves. But still no deal. I was pretty kind to them. I just said I only had one and wasn't going to trade it.
Looking for: Halloween 2019 pets. I have tokens but missed the trade in times due to no internet access the end of October.
