Trade Rant Thread

[Pastry]

Supply and demand, I hate it.

So, I'm offering a September '08 of anyone's choice if they offer me the newborn from today, the chocolate moon cub growth from today, and a few ungrown card cubs.

One person sends me a trade asking for 4 of the September '08 pets PLUS my only Red and Green ornament dogs from today...for a galaxy lion I already have. -.-

[Mello]

15 cats to common butters and a horse for my drink me. Okay so the kid is new and canelled befor I got home so it's really not that bad I don't think I would have yell at him.

So, today someone offered me two lions for two of my lions. That was fine, but I had clearly said, "Please don't ask for pets not in my trade group." So I very nicely said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not trading those. Your lions are lovely, though; would you like to pick some pets from my trades group?" since that was where they were supposed to choose from anyway.

They sent back the reply "You need to read the rules!!!!!"

Yeah. THEY needed to read the rules! Honestly...

[Dovetail]

spring I hate when people do that! Why should I read your rules if you don't read mine, I only have like 3 anyways. *eye roll* I've been getting all kinds of stupid trades for lions, I was looking for a few since I missed them and don't want to wait till they come out again, and someone wanted my AUGUST 08 for a lion! seriously they aren't worth THAT much! maybe another advent, maybe even an advent from last year if it was one I really wanted, but people need to learn about values.

Might have forgotten that they sent the trade themself?

In which case they're dumb on top of rude

[springdew]

No joke! I would have been fine if they had just said, "No thanks," but they just had to go and be rude! Urgh. I can't stand rude people. Haha, yeah, I agree! Honestly, it was their trade in the first place

I'm sorry, but what is so hard about making a trade offer?

I do not MIND when people send trades and ask me to edit, if it is something in my trade group. That is fine. But my rules clearly state that if you want something not in my trade group, you have to MAKE AN OFFER.

So someone sent me a trade for 3 Christmas pets from last year, asking what I wanted. I suggested it back taking out the two dogs, because I won't trade those no matter what, and left the holly cat in, saying "as per my rules, if you want a pet not in my trade group you have to make an offer. If you want the cat, send back a trade with your best ofer for it." Or something along those lines.

The person them PMed me saying "I don't know what you want for it, please send a trade with the pets you want."

Look, I know that sometimes it's hard to know what to offer for a pet, I get that. But I do not HAVE a want list for this pet, since it is NOT IN MY TRADES. If you want the pet from me, I'm sorry, but you have got to step up and just make a dang offer. YOU are the one who wants the pet! Don't make me do all the work for it!

ETA: Why do people who KNOW BETTER bother piling random commons into a trade offer? That's just pointless.

Some peoples' rudeness makes me want to rip my hair out. I'm usually a good girl, but I need to rant this much-needed rant.

Advent rudeness is what's bothering me right now. Newer users don't have trading groups, or any groups, for that matter, and expect others to know what they will and won't trade. Tonight, I went around Advent-hunting by randomly clicking usernames, and found an Advent pet I needed. I kindly said "Anything you'd like for this pet? I will trade pets and duplicate items." Their cancellation message was "_______ wants it buzz off!" Now, I know that doesn't seem super-offending, but I don't think it's right that I'm kind towards people who decide to treat me as if I'm a dog.

Oof...that's harsh!

Maybe the person doesn't know what you'd reckon they'd have that'd be worth the trade? Or they just want you to choose, as a first preference.
