Trade Rant Thread

Oh my days...

Ok, I sent them a trade and offered 2 pets for one of theirs.
They Edit, so it's nothing on their side, and my 2 pets. Message: 'WHAT DO YOU SAY...WILL YOU TRADE WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
So I edit it again, adding the original pet I asked for on their side and adding another of mine. My message 'How's this?'
They edit it so 3 pets my side, none theirs. Message: 'PLEASE..PRETTY PLEASE'
So again I edit it and tell them that the pets in my trades folder aren't free.
They cancelled, and said 'NO THANKS'
So I PMed them and said this:

There is NO need for all capitals, besides, it's considered screaming.

If you want free pets, go to the free adoptions forum, instead of begging for pets (again, against CS rules) that are obviously for trade and being quite rude.
If you wanted free pets, you could have looked in my Free Adoptions folder, as I have over 100 pets in there.

Okay, I got my first facepalm trade the other day:

my side:
((I tried to find the trade but I couldn't so I'll put the pet that was the problem in))

Pet's name: Shimmer

Their side:
((I can't remember!))

The kicker: Shimmer was the first pet I ever adopted on CS. She is in a group called "All Time Favs (NEVER EVER FOR TRADE!!) I guess I forgot to lock it but still, it makes you wonder what goes on in peoples heads sometimes... Maybe this?: "Hmm, looks like Turquoise8 has a sparkle dog in their faves group. She probably won't notice it's from that group and since she obviously locks groups that aren't for trade, I'll just add that pet dum de dum. Or maybe she'll accidentally click accept! I just updated my trade rules so now they read (this is just a part):

Currently, most of my groups are open for trade, but if I start to get a lot of stupid offers, that privilege will be taken away. If there is a group like "favorites (bw)" or something that is unlocked, use some common sense and DON'T OFFER ON IT. Instead, please tell me in your message what group is unlocked and I will fix it.

*snorts* I love people.Honest, I do.

Really? You read my trade "rules"? Then you wouldn't have offered in the first place. -_-

My "rules" aren't all that hard to follow:

NFT: "not for trade". Pets marked with this or in the group named "Not for trade" are.... not for trade.

Having more than one of a certain kind of pet does not necessarily mean that I'll just trade it away.

Only pets in my trade group are definitely up for trade. Trade =/= adoption or free.

More than once I've received trade offers (with, of course, nothing on their side) or PMs asking about my Jokers- I was lucky enough to get two- with excuses along the lines of "Well, you've got an extra! Why not give it to me/hunt for something you like in my bajillion page long trade group?"

*sigh* Lots of these made me think "Oh, a 'not for trade' group is probably a great idea!"

Anyways..... I cancelled with the message "Then you should look elsewhere for this pet, hon. NFT: not for trade."

The fact that this person seems to think I don't have any "good" pets in my trade group just really..... irked me. Yeah, it's true (I signed up, was here for a month or 2, then lost interest for about a year..... So I've missed a bunch of pets) and yes, they may have read my rules. BUT they deliberately ignored them and then expected me to accept their trade? Yeah. Right. And frankly, if I have any "good" pets for trade..... Then don't trade with me. =)

the rainbow smoothie was a very limited item given out by tess the other day to only those in a conversion she was having with a member about their rainbow coon fursona. the rainbow is made of the fursona's tail. I think like only 10 people have one.

Yup, that tail would be mine.

Grrr, I'm irked off at this.
They asked for this, and included this message:

purple What do you want for this

(For the record, I have a fake secret word - purple. The real one is hippo.)
My canceling message: Your face.

If you keep going like that the person is going to think you're insane. That will probably keep them off your back.... I get it now! Good thinking!

Ugh, I hate it when newbies do that.
"Why were you being mean to me?"

[Icesky]

I got this trade a while ago, but;
Them; Brown Spotted 2nd gen, Grey Husky, and Blue Tess "Grunge" (Common)

Me;
Christmas Lion, Valentine lion.

I didn't cancel at the time because I had been busy, and didn't think much of it.
They cancel saying "Your too Slow"

Could they be any ruder? Not only did they send a bad trade, but they also decided to rudely cancle for a stupid reason.

I just recieved 21 trades for my dogtag moondog for free, with no trade message! Yay! >_>
This resulted in 42 PM's overall. Reporting.
