Trade Rant Thread

[iPawki]

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...

*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.

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!

yeah, that's the problem. It's hard to tell what people' voices are. XD

I just got three trades, all very unfair. (Sorry for the size)





Only the first had a message, "hi".

[iPawki]

Lol, that sucks. To happier thoughts, I must say, "We mustn't fight between ourselves! We must fight the unfair newbies!" XD Lol. I've only gotten... well... let's say.... 45 out of 65 unfair trades this month? Not that bad, right? XD *The power of sarcasm*

Sarcasm is the bodies natural defense against stupid people!

And it makes you full of the giggles when they don't get it! c:

Totally. XD

Going through some of my old trades I found that the same person has been sending rule-breaking trades every few days for my C$ pets. As in they want all of them (plus a bunch of my pre-july 08 advents) for nothing, not even including messages. I just now discovered that it had been the same person this entire time XD
God I'm oblivious.

I've got a rant. This is a quote directly from my trade rules:

Dogs with zodiac signs for names are not for trade (ex. Leo, Aries, Virgo, etc.)

This is the trade I just got: A Halloween dog I already have for my dog named Taurus -.- This was their message

I know you already have this guy but rare for rare?

What?? Why would I accept?!!! (Plus it was still unfair - Taurus is an '08)

I know- people seem to think that I'll trade a rare '09 for a rare '08! HELLO?! OF COURSE I'M NOT GOING TO ACCEPT!

I just got a trade from someone. They wanted my Racoon tail for a shamrock rat >.>
