Trade Rant Thread [V.32]

[tranquillite]

*finds someone with many of my hoard pets*
*only thing on their wishlist is my advent and august pps lion*
*quietly screams at them as they only trade for wishlist*


oh my goodness
I don't care if your pets say NFT. They're unlocked so I'll trade for them.
I don't care if they're "Welcome" pets. Having them unlocked means they're UFT or you're just bragging.

[chromatic.]

You only wanted wishlist so I gave you wishlist. But noo.. you cancel later finding out that you dont trade off the list. Well just maybe you should put that in your trade rules which seems to have everything else you do and mostly dont like Excpet that. Well that you hun for wasting both my and your ranting time.

[Kyar]

When someone adds "since you have two" in a message about a list pet trade things are never likely to go well.

[chihirofujisaki]

Hmm. The trade itself didn't irk me a whole lot, but the events following it did. They sent this with the message:

I know you won't accept, so I sent as a suggestion to add or remove any pets you want. If it's okay you can send back and I'll accept as soon as I can.

That should've been a bigger red flag. If you knew I wouldn't accept, why did you send it? And also, another thing: People send suggestions and say it's so I can edit if I want. But the thing is, if I wanted to edit, they could just send a trade. There is an edit button there, too. I guess they're trying to rope me into editing whether I want to or not.

Anyway, I edited to this with the message:

Is it okay without the Shima? I'm about to auction her. c:

They cancel with the message:

Without wouldn't be fair

So I resend as this, deciding to explain it to them.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it is fair. The dog I'm offering is from 2009, I'm pretty sure. If you're still not interested, I understand. c:

Note: I was wrong about this. I asked the "what pet is this" thread, and was informed that it's actually from '08. They cancel with:

My pet is a list pet. Everyone would give more for him. Your pets are not list pets. Mine is called White feb. you can go and ask people what they would give for him. Mostly Shima Longtails, lots of list pets. Very rares and lots of c$
Sorry

Now, THAT pissed me off. A) It's not a list pet. B) Nobody would give list pets for it, unless they were very desperate. C) I know what it's called, and I thought you knew I know. I figured they found the "Highly Wanted: White Feb" on my trade thread. Guess not.

I don't normally bother people about canceled trades, but I decided to help them out with a correction.

Actually, the White February is not a list pet. Neither is the SLT. Just thought I'd clarify that. Here's the list, with the 'White' keyword, so anything with the word 'white' is highlighted. As you can see, none are the White Feb.
Just thought I should let you know. Have a nice day. c:

I then shot them a follow-up PM:

Whoops, I was wrong. It's from November of '08. I was wrong about the value of my pet! I'm not willing to overpay that much anyway! Thanks!

I'll admit, in the last one, I was a bit passive-aggressive. Thanking them for the cancel was kind of hostile. Oh, well.

They saw the first one I sent, but my Outbox informs me that they haven't seen the second one yet. I'm guessing that their silence means they've realized that I'm right.

Name-calling may be childish, but... What a butt, huh?

My C$ have been unlocked for a few days. I'm actually a bit surprised that trades like this hadn't come already.

//rant over (for now)

omg a few days ago a nice user gave me a lot of their spares right, since i've been deactive lately, and I get a trade suggestion asking for 15 pets with this really long message today????

Now, I'm gonna be NICE. In an adoption trade I made, it was auto canceled. Now, I checked all the pets I had tried to get, since I am collecting butterfly wolves and only want one of each (not hoarding *hint hint*)

To find that all of them had been taken. By you. Now, I'm going to be FAIR. You can go through my pets (NOT my favourites and CERTAINLY not my butterfly wolves) and find a few pets that I have MORE THAN ONE of or duplicates of, and you can have duplicates.

You can have as many horses as you like (not a big fan) they are located in ungrouped. However, ONLY the horses there are for trade. Any other animals ungrouped that aren't horses are a no.

Please give me a chance, I was looking forward to these beauties being in my collection... and this is the eighth time someone's done this!

granted they were in my trading group but still. i'm kind of in shock omg

[A Random Moustache]

I should've accepted o3o

They sent it when I was sleeping and cancel it when.I.am.still.sleeping. a.k.a 5 hours later..

And

I sent you a trade exactly a month now, I PM'ed you and stuff, still you haven't answered. I don't want to PM you again as I might sound rude and impatient and/or demanding ;3;

[Caelus]

do you ever suddenly really want a pet youve been offered at least 50 times but then find not a single one for trade?
yeah...

[kristenn11]

This person is nice, but this really made me angry and annoyed. Prepare for a long rant.

This is my dreamy, so I am determined to get it. I have a main list dog unlocked, C$, and more. I also can do offsite trading such as Pokemon Black/White 2. Also, if needed, I can dig into my locked groups

I sent a suggestion for an UR Malk. The pet I need for my Malk collection.

You offer what you think is fair. Then we will work it out c:

After asking the FTT and finding out I needed 475C$ to make what I was offering fair, I asked them this.

Can I get 255 more C$? Would you accept that? It would be fair. I just want to know before I purchase more.

This was after I just purchased 10$ worth of C$ when someone gave me false advice, telling me I needed 175C$ to fill the gap.

I prefer animals, but okay.

I was excited. I was finally going to get an OMGSR that wasn't a rat and the last major list pet I needed for my collection. So I bought 20$ worth of C$. I now had 600.

So I sent this 100% fair trade.

Three or so hours passed by. They were online about the whole time, so I messaged them. They were having second thoughts. I'll shorten the ending. They ended up canceling.


I'm so glad I made this gif a while ago because it really fits how I feel when stuff like this happens.

I wasted 30$. I don't have a credit card or whatever. I just can't get that money back. I get like 5 dollars every two weeks for allowance. That is like 3 months to get that back. ;-;

And someone else just cancelled my offer for their UR Malk with "Ummmm no thanks." Is my offer really that bad?

I should just forget this Malk collection and stop trading. XD Quietly be on chicken smoothie hugging all my other achieved dreamies and sets.

['Possum]

WHAT is with all these people who log off shortly before I edit or send them a trade and never come back??!

I have many stale trades sitting there waiting for people to come back for days and days. I hate this!!

[tigerlily.]

i just don't understand.
why the heck am i getting so, so many auto-cancelled/just randomly cancelled trades that are done before i even take a look at them? one got auto cancelled literally less than an hour before i got home from classes. like seriously, stop it people.
one person sent a trade and cancelled it two seconds later, and i pm'd them about what the heck that was about, and they nicely explained hat they thought they didn't have the outcome when they did, and apologized, so that was ok.
but honestly, a few coppa'd users sent some trades to me then it got autocancelled / randomly cancelled two seconds later. whyyyyy. i get that they don't get to send messages, but don't randomly cancel on me! it was a good offer, let's work something out, people. at least give me a chance...
