2012 older rare, it looks fine to me. "Hm no thanks!"

Those Lynx are getting out of hand. 8C
I'm desperate enough to have accepted that, though that will be stupid of me. XD

But it's better then being asked for a 09' Rare Warrior cat for a Lynx. ; n ;

Exactly! Even if it would end up rare, the rabbit would have made it a fair trade with a couple of uncommons...

Even if it turns out rare, the rabbit itself is fair for the Lynx PPS.

On topic...

Apparently two squids isn't a fair swap for two Black PPS Labs. o - o

Despite them being in a trade group,
and I offered from their wishlist- somehow I hope these labs aren't being overvalued like the Lynx.

I already have trouble getting Lynx PPSes.. I don't need more trouble with the Black PPS Lab.

Offtopic- They aren't as overvalued as the Lynxes, since I found most will pay an Easter rare, and a few more recent uncommons each. There is just the odd one that comes along with store pets, '11 Rares and more, for one. You shouldn't have too much of a problem finding them.

On topic-
Not as bad, but I find I am getting loads of these trades.

I sent a trade for a Lynx PPS for an Easter rare and the Chocolate Lab PPS. They cancelled saying that they were looking for rares. Of course you are.. who isn't looking for rares..

It's official.

The old days of fair outcome swaps and fairness in trades are gone,
here comes the new generation of CS- where overvaluing and overpaying is the in thing!

Welcome the new trend of people with claims of Sunjewels for Unknown Rarity pets!

/sarcasm

I've found that the users here on CS for the community first and the pets second don't tend to hype out as much over outcomes. I managed to get my lynx pps from a very nice person that lives over in the rp forums for a reasonable price. Also, I'm not really big on blowing demand for an outcome out of the water. I gave into the hype once and now no more.

Seriously, I hear people talk about how CS used to be, my friends lured me here doing that. But now all I see is an influx of greed. Be it in how people accept gifts or demand better gifts, demand overpay for ANYTHING, and over-hype outcomes to the point where normal users have no hope of obtaining them. Seriously, it's killing me to watch.

/puts soapbox away

[synthwave]

I do not overpay for hoards, thank you very much.

[Checkinder]

Why can't I find someone with a July PPS who is willing to take designs, C$, or anything? My pets alone aren't even worth the darn thing...

[Yoyce]

I have a bad feeling when I saw "XX will give 2 pets for your 148 items" or something like that.

I wasn't wrong.

Lucky you<3
Though it does make sense. ^ u ^"

I'm not big on that either.
I've never really hyped an outcome myself before,
I don't honestly see the use when it's unknown rarity in the first place.

Leeching on the hype and getting way more then the pets are worth,
it's become far too common now- and honestly CS in the past wasn't this bad.

I agree with you though- indeed it's been just a wave of greed throughout.
It may sound cliche to say this, but back in my days-
in the 09', '10 and early 11'.. all this overhype and greed etc was barely around at all.

Sad to say, there's been a boom of such occurrences and it's now the common trend.
I actually dread the following months if I have to deal with the same scenario over and over again.

/ends rant, should probably go now

I sent someone a gift and felt good about it, then they accepted with no message. ...Really..?? Wow, yea thanks glad you liked it..
