Trade Rant Thread V.23

[Aeveny]

Like I said, that's only what I've heard. I wasn't a user when this whole thing happened, so I don't know from experience, only from what other users say.

Lol and that's exactly how the problem continues. No one really says why their demand is so bad. They just say it is. It's not like the speckled rat where very few people want it or will pay fairly for it because there isn't really anyone out there who wants them to keep that doesn't already have one.

I'll be glad when the Grinner rumour dies. Grinners are actually one of the easiest September list pets to trade off in my experience. Last year I had none spare, and I ended up with about 5 different ones at one stage but traded the lot of them off individually, for a fair price, with ease - they are on a lot of peoples' wishlists. Grinners are also a great entry to the September list.

Re the speckled rat, when I got one from an art commission it took me months to trade it off, but I managed to find an individual looking for one that would pay fair (then had to play swapsies until I got the one they wanted). It's a shame rats have such low demand, they are rather cute pets.

completely agreed

why? I got this twice!!
definitely not

I went on a gifting spree today, and it really annoyed me how some people didn't say thank you or even had the nerve to send it back asking for more

Ahhh, to be fair Kyar, you are a well known and highly liked CS user and people are more likely to trade with you.

- I bump my trading thread constantly when many people are online.
- I've made my trading rules clear and polite (I believe).
- My trading thread is in my signature.
- I send out about twenty of so trades a day, making sure I follow people's rules.
- I've unlocked a whole bunch of groups that I am very reluctant to trade.
- I offer C$ for older pets I'm missing on my wishlist.
- I have the new store pets.
- I have an Angel Advent and two punk dogs.

...Yet

I never manage to get what I want (apart from my easy hoards, which even lately I've been frustrated by because even when I offer a fair swap or overpay, the other user changes it to even more overpay).

So is it any wonder we seem to think there is no demand for certain pets?

It's frustrating to be unknown and distrusted

Ah, yes, this is what I don't like most--not just on CS either! Everyone has to start somewhere, but people usually will only take the very experienced ones (doctors, teachers, tutors, etc) and they'll refuse to settle with promising but new young people /:

The first trade just made me blink a lot.
The second kind of burned.
The third made my eyes sizzle. I guess I'm just lucky I was wearing glasses that protect from UV rays. XD

Ugh. I got a BA now. I've been looking for one forever but now I have no trading fodder. Do I just date swap and restart my paperclip or use it as my paperclip. -.-

The red x PPS I am auctioning. They expected it to auto -.-

Trade ups are absolutely impossible. Everyone wants to trade up and expects everyone else to trade down. U understand that I'm not in the middle of a huge goal or anything, but I think I still have a right to trade up and be successful, no?

And then I'm even willing to trade '09 VRs and store pets for the darned August PPS lion. I've sent five trades for them, each with older VRs and rares. And still, every last one has been canceled. Impossible.
