Trade Rant Thread

[huskynerd]

It's not the other person's fault that your sister got on your computer. Just saying...

Someone sent me a trade offering the brown grunge dog with the star on its eye (from my '09 wishlist) and wanted my Valentines PPS bobtail (the actual PPS from Feb) and a Moon lion. Not as egregiously terrible as some of the offers mentioned on here, but still not exactly what I was looking for. I replied concisely, but not unkindly, in the cancel message that I wasn't willing to trade advents or that PPS for that particular dog.
Person replied to the cancel message and got all huffy with me. o_o "Even though the advent was in your trades... In your trade group there is nothing of even similar worth to the dog you want..."
I replied that it was in my special trades, and I'm sorry you don't think I have any pets worth that one, I'm sure I'll find someone who does.

Like, it's a wishlist pet but you're not doing me some great favor by offering it. I've honestly gotten most of my '09 uncommon wishlists for free (not that I'm expecting that).
Sorry I'm not comfortable trading Advents that may go up in value as time goes on, no need to get testy about it...

Well, it could be seen as your fault for keeping that box ticked...

This happened a few weeks ago, but I realised it 3 days after it happened. I always click "Stay logged-in" whenever I come online. So, I had to go visit my friend that was in the hospital because she got bucked off a horse and broke her neck. My sister (she's only 7) got on CS, and saw a trade had been sent to me. She clicked on it. It was a Common dog for my Rare bunny. She accpeted it. And now, I've been trying for a long time to get the bunny back. The person won't even cancel it, nor accept for the same pet she gave me in return. I'm still so mad. But, I don't know how to get it back. She is ignoring me.

Weren't you JUST saying how you accepted a trade someone didn't mean to agree to and refused to give the pet back? 0_o It would make you a hypocrite to go around trying to get your own accidental trades reversed by admins...

That was their fault they sent it. The trade that my little sister sent wasn't my fault. I can't help it I wanted to visit my best friend. She could've died. Obviously, CS comes first to you. But to me, CS comes come after my friends, and my family, and my pets.

There's no proof that your sister was behind the trade, or that it was accidental (was the trade message one of approval for the trade? Or was their any at all?)

Meanwhile, the pet you got was obviously not supposed to be traded...

And of COURSE family and friends come first for me that CS but I abhor hypocrisy.

It's not mine either. I'm not going to tell my sister to stay off the computer. I have my fredom, she can have her's.

We never said Cs comes before our friends. I value my friends more than Cs. No offense, anyone. I suppose you're right... but still.

Eh, I don't care. It's just a virtual pet. Nothing to get all "Blehhy" about. It's not in RL, so I'm fine

Well, if you're not going to run to Nick to get it back, I won't get 'blehhy' about anything...

*raises hand* yes, I sent that trade, however I did not get huffy, and I did say I only wanted one of the original two, although the valentine PPS was worth a bit more. After the PM's stated, I sent a PM back, saying "Sorry, but in your trades group, the oldest pets are from January, which being as they are worth more, I doubt you would want to trade them (though I may be wrong) and then the oldest is 4 months more recent... thats all." And if my messages came across rude in any way, I am sorry, but I have a very short temper at the moment.

XD I wasn't going to go to Nick. I've never asked for my pets back, even if it's not my fault, litterally. (I mean, in a way, I could've logged out)

Heh, Trade Rant AWKWARD.

It's alright, I suppose it's easy to misread a person's tone over PM. And I have been known to get short-tempered myself sometimes. ^^;; Sorry for ranting about you!
