Trade Rant Thread V.23

Okay. I have a question. Why do people leave groups unlocked then label them NFT? I assume there's a good reason not to just lock the groups? It's been bugging me since I joined.

person has no rules at all..

goes to trade, several groups of them are called nft, but the group world of lions isn't so I sent this trade:

They cancel with:
I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW!

well at least say somewere they are not for trade or something?

well, i have been offering at a rate of one uncommon for 2 lion cubs, they may have seen this as unfair, especially if you asked for a great chunk of their hoard pets

[Corporate Cannibal]

fair trades for the valentines lions are impossible...I'm only missing one and people are wanting stupid amounts for it... -.-

[Shadowreine]

Yeah, I'm missing two and although I'll toss them on my wishlist once they're adults and I can, I'm not holding out any hope.

[Spottedstream5037]

Hoarding valentines day stuff is going to leave me without fodder but they're so pretty

And people expect rares for 8 pets and it's just terrible

[frog mother]

AAAHHH!
I SENT THIS LITTLE MONSTER WHEN I WAS A NEWBIE!
OH GOODNESS <_>

Better not look at your newbie-time trades, we all did some eye-searing offers

Rant: Look, I've traded some things because I knew people needed those lions although one item isn't really worth it on my side. But I am missing some items, and I am NOT trading my last pink elephant for a bunch of items I already have >.>

C$ trading is so frustrating. Why is C$ worth so so little? And has been this way for as long as prices were re-adjusted on the orange cerberus.
I have someone asking for two 2009 bunnies for 10C$.

Are you kidding me? 50 cents?! Maybe my math is wrong, but if you buy 380 at $20, that means a single chicken dollar is worth 5¢ making my bunnies from 5 years ago worth around 50¢ in C$

What is wrong with you, CS? I can trade these bunnies to Aywas or Wajas or ANY OTHER petsite on the planet for at least $3-5. Not even the price for a lunch, but that's such a huge difference.

Is it because there's so few adults on this site that no one can or wants to pay a fair price when compared to the rest of the virtual world that dumps $60 on a custom waja without a second thought? Or is it because people only want one item or item set at a time and therefore just don't value C$ like the rest of the economy?

I remember a time where I was paying $20 for each '08 advent in offsite trades. What are they worth on CS for C$? $5. Sometimes $8.... It's really sad that C$ can't even stand anywhere near other site currencies... I'd really rather support CS than any of the other sites that I'm not active on, but really, it just makes no sense not to do otherwise.

What gets me is the user PMs me back with the "you had doubles" excuse as if I got those pets totally free on my own.

I'm sure there's other users on the site that has whole accounts of other people just given to them, but I've paid for every extra pet I had in time or raw currency. I'm certainly not letting them go for a measly 50¢

[dinkleberg]

Ouch. I got a trade asking for a 2009 rare for one of the new atorepets...

[Nikki Amaranti]

Okay.. I guess I'll need more rares right?
/endsarcasm

To be fair, I asked for either just two or all 3 if it's fine with them. > . >

This one annoyed me the most...
I'm already overpaying but they changed it to something ridiculous. D:

Oh dear.. the old "People seem to like them and are paying a lot so why not..." reason again. D:
I get this beauty of an edit, and I have no clue whether to cancel or still try my luck to reason with them... :c
