Trade rant thread

[Warburton]

I was offered a Common '10 dog for a Common '08 dog, and I was asked to pick from their V.Common - Common trades. Most were from the late '09's and '10's, and it hardly seemed fair. I cancelled.

[Minimanta]

I just got a bad trade...

They wanted: Target dog, golden robot, ethiopian wolf and blue roan pony.
They offered: Ghost owl, fire owl, 2 blue Malk cats, 2 Fiery Gatoh '10 birthday cats and 3 plushie butterfly wolves.

Their message:
"HI, is this ok? Do you accept male cats for you cat hoard?

Thank you "

o.O

Now I usually don't rant about that... If they are newbies. The worst part is just that the person joined in August 08! They should know better!

And what do they mean about male cats? XD CS pets are genderless... X3

I just canceled with the good message "This isn't a fair trade"

[falconz]

Well just because they joined in 08, it doesn't mean they still can't be a newbie to the game. But yeah, that's a dumb trade.

[Minimanta]

They have used the forum, they should definitely know better.

They even broke my rules. They offered hoard pets for pets in my wishlist/good offers only trade group. It's says in bold caps that no hoard pets are accepted for pets in that group. ><

Hey guys, I have a question... Do I have a large, blinking neon sign above my head that reads "I'm gullible"? 'Cuz I don't see it.

5 bad trades in less than 2 pages of this board...

n00b 1:

T: gummy pony, malk fish egg, caterpillar
M: 2 unc. March 09 dogs, 2 09 butterwolves(unc.), 2 Dec 09 horses

n00b 2:

The other 3 aren't as bad, so I won't post 'em here. Stil, really?

[danni.and.the.kiwi]

No, answrs, you sure don't. Some people are just idiots.

I'm kind of laid back when it comes to getting bad trades because I used to be really rude when I replied, but then I realized most newbies and younger kids don't really understand the trading concept fully.

But some people are just rude : I got a trade a few months back that was for 44 of my pets (not all of them were spectacular, but a few were advent 08s and from my favorites group) with a blank side saying "I'll give 1 store pet for every 10 of yours, but your 2nd Gens go free to me." Someone was a little too big for his/her britches.

As for the PW debate: I have a password, but my rules clearly stipulate that I'll consider all fair trades so long as there's a message (or they did as of my re-vamp yesterday). People are getting ridiculous with the passwords though, I wanted to trade with someone once whose "secret password" was 'blue', then 'no wait you've got to write it in purple' then 'but you've got to write orange in purple and put it at the end of your message' then finally 'nah just kidding write puppies rule in green' <-that's absolutely crazy!

[nightbeat]

*stares at Minimanta a few pages back*

That's why I only have one secret password. O__O

Besides, I can tell if it's fair or not!


*wonders what the "1 New Message" thing is*

My cancel message:


"~~Fara><Assassin~~Soleil><Sun~~" is my codeword so I know they read my rules. But, look at my rules:

Trading Rules:
*If the group says:
-YES then you will probably get what you want as long as it's a reasonably trade (the YESs are Uncommons and Commons)
-MAYBE then it should be more Uncommon or Rare than Common; I will consider (the MAYBEs are Uncommon or '08)
-WISHLIST/RARE OFFERS ONLY then you must offer Wishlist or Rares only X3 (my Wishlist is in my siggy) If you offer a Common, Very Common, or Uncommon that isn't on my WL, the trade will be cancelled.
-WL/VR OFFERS ONLY then you must offer Very Rares only!! The pets in these groups are always Very Rares or URs.

*DON'T offer something if I already have it (unless I pick it from you XD)

*Don't offer Very Commons (I will R.A.R.E.L.Y. accept these >:-( XP)

*NEVER ASK FOR ANY PET FOR FREE. It's dumb and I'll cancel it, you n00b xD
((I will ONLY give you free pet(s) IF you are my friend and it's a holiday or your birthday))

*NO. CHAT. SPEAK.

~Soleil (my Sundog), Rynlar (my Gearback Tribal), Kip (my UR Apple) and Fara (my Red Toxic) are my ONLY PETS that are NOT FOR TRADE for anything~

*Put "~~Fara><Assassin~~Soleil><Sun~~" in your message so I know you read the rules. If you don't, I will most likely cancel your offer (depends on if I'm in a bad mood or good mood)


Thanks for trading! ^^

Hmm. They say they read the rules, but they broke my most important one..
