Really? I thought there was quite some demand for the Skele PPS? At least there was, last year...

And the Peppermint t ear is always a favorite of the "seasonal" '08 Advents.

And back to the subject of "scamming" accepting blatantly lopsided trades, etc. I for one don't accept trades right off if I KNOW the pet they are offering is worth more. Unless its someone I know well and am positive they are well aware of what they're doing. Example: Museatron giving me a Grinner for a Hyena.
I just can't live with my own conscience and feel its just morally wrong. Pretty much just a very dishonest and uncool thing to do.

I was curious about what you paid for a pet in your signature, and the only pets the user had were around 20 2012 uncommons, all not from you. The user they had been sent from had a zebra, sent from the user you got one of your urs from. That..makes me sick. You paid fairly for it but someone STILL scammed them. Just..wow.

Maybe I should have done some offering this year on forum-less people so I could actually pay a fair price for the pets I'm looking for instead of the ridiculous nonsense that is "trying to keep up with greedy people that just scream MORE!".

I figured maybe they didn't understand that dates mattered so I edited it to this and explained to them that a 2012 uncommon isn't worth a 2009 uncommon.

They cancelled and said "oh sorry, didn't know dates matter to you so much"

What the heck, of course the date mattered to me! It was unfair!

Took me a moment to figure out exactly what you were saying...
If I understand correctly now, I have this horrible sinking feeling right now.D:
I traded a Grevys Zebra for the Cat. Quite happily I will add because I figured it would be nice to give them something of higher value to play around with.
And now doing some quick tracking of pets, it does seem they got cheated out of that Zebra...
Unless they sold for offsite currency or something I hope?

I just looked as well- there's a 'friends/unfair trades- don't ban us!' note for the user with the zebra in their trades attached to it... so maybe that instead of ... the worst worse? ^^;

:C

I just want a fair offer on my CEG. ;_;
I'm sorry, guys. I don't check into CS very often anymore, summer break and Christmas being one of few sources of free time. I'm not gone or giving away pets, but for the most part I'm inactive. :C
However, trades are still welcome and I will try to get back to any as soon as possible.
