Trade Rant Thread [v. 18]

15. Do not talk about not being able to find/afford/etc. a pet.
That is not a trade and is general frustration. It doesn't belong here.

So today is the day my mother passed away two years ago and here I am sitting in front of my computer and waiting for the Pound to open. I doubt I'll get this proposed "Pink Balloon" Dog that lies within its walls today.. but Idk.

I lost some hope in getting something that high up in the list (that dog being the BEG), but then when I found the Pink Balloon Dog, I felt the need to have it. My mother died of breast cancer initially, so I thought why not and all and of course I just don't feel like I can get it outside of something like the Pound.

By God it's taking me forever to find a trade-down I'd be happy with but to trade UP? Kiss my goals goodbye..

My fingers are crossed right now for getting this Pink Balloon Dog inside the store... but, y'know, my luck will probably just kick me in the face. XC

sorry, but there is no pink balloon in the pound anymore, it was adopted this morning~

rant: no more one-sided suggestions, I'm getting tired of them-.-

Wow, really? :T Well, shows my luck..

Spiders why does no-one love you until I want you?!

Tired of people trying to scam me because of my join date. ;A;

I just want to trade this sunjewel down to gift people. But nobody has the fodder. :c

You could try something else?
Instead of trading the sunjewel down completely for a bunch of lower list/september list pets, you could try doing this;
Find someone offering a fair trade, with a pet that's a few tiers below the sunjewel. Keep the extra pets they add in a group and then trade down that other higher rares list pet, then just repeat the process until you think you're far enough down the rares list?
I did this when I had a sunjewel (thank god for offsite trades <3) and even though it took longer, it worked out well for me.

I had the same frustatrions with my ponies!! Everyone seems to say "I don't trade for/want ponies" in their trade rules like they're practically giving them away, but refuse to trade them to me when I ask like suddenly they're OMGSOrare

I gifted someone a rare.
They accept without a message.
Are you freaking kidding me?
>:C

Aaah, man, I know the feeling D:
I gifted someone in the past about five pretty good pets, and no message...

The same happened a couple of times during Lights On and Lights Off...
Certainly not a fun experience!
