Urgh. Okay, so I'm pretty stingy when it comes to trades. I don't know why, I have over 5000 pets for trade, but when it comes down to it I am so bad at letting them go. I usually send out trades offering the bare minimum and then just leave it wide open for the other person to edit as much as they like. Recently my wishlist grew a bit because I haven't been able to come online much the past few months (if we're being honest it's probably more like a year and a half), so as I have so many pets for trade I figured I would try overpay for the more recent stuff (so basically everything on my wishlist that isn't on the rares list), and of course, because I'm so bad at letting go of my pets, an overpay for me is probably fair, or maybe just a bit unfair to me depending on what mood I'm in. Normally because I'm being stingy I get most of my trade offers shot down immediately, which I accept as it is completely my fault. But then I started sending out proper trades, making a concerted effort to make them properly fair or an overpay, and making it very clear that I am more than happy for the other person to edit however they like, and yet people are still turning them down, implying or outright saying that it's unfair >.< I'm sorry, I've had an account since 2009, I've been around since 2008, just because I haven't studied trading and rarities or benn around much these past few months, doesn't mean I don't know whats roughly fair. And it pisses me off because if I offer say a 2013 pet and 2 2014 pets for 4 missed outcomes from last month, people still imply its unfair because i'm only offering three pets for their four pets. I'm just so fed up with people shooting down my perfectly reasonable offers now that I'm actually properly trying to make it as much of an overpay/fair trade as I can bear.
