Trade Rant Thread [V.34]

[[Shadow]]

Would you be interested in a trade?

Um... Yeah, but not this... The banner pups aren't gold

[frye]

Someone asks for a store pet in return for the banner dog I'm already auctioning... Can't you take the hint that if I'm auctioning one I don't want another?

[RisikiaRBH]

First, i cant find anyone to trade event items with, not even swaps...
I go trade with someone, and they dont have anything i want at all...

I saw someones' trade rules and it was nearly 20 rules of repeats. Just what you can ask for and what you cant, over and over, just worded diffrently. Seriously, people dont need that much repetition in 20 different ways.>:/

I get someone might not follow your rules, but no one wants to read more than 20 things about the same thing.

[ChompGod]

I hate it when people literally ignore my first rule. Add a message ._.

Now, if a user really thinks they need a pet, they would be willing to overpay. I hoard too, and pretty much I feel like it's taking good pets and keeping them away form someone who actually needs that pet and will take care of it.

And then go on to explain that they overpay for their hoard pets.

Okay, first, it doesn't matter. I work hard for my hoards and pay fairly for them. I'm not "taking good pets" away from people. It's their decision to trade or not. It's not like I'm forcing them. Secondly, nobody needs a pet, as you put it. Besides, it was a very common from last year. I doubt they're that hard to find, especially as I found 150 of them within just a few days. Lastly, take good care of the pet? That doesn't even make sense. They're not interactive. And lastly, I don't give a flying fig if you overpay for your hoard pets. It was a fair offer of your wishlist pets on pets in your trade group. Why would I need to overpay?

I'm getting really tired of seeing rules or messages about how hoarding is bad. If I want more than one pet and can trade fairly for it, I don't see the problem.

Oooh, looky. Another old PM with a user continually PM'ing me about a cancelled trade:

Fine. I will just find someone else to trade with. Thank you for wasting my time trying to work out something. I don't understand why we can't make it separate from the Eat Me trade. It just isn't logical. I was overpaying for the horns anyways. :|

I just don't understand. Why not a separate trade? I think you were kind of forcing me to do the Eat Me trade; you know I really wanted those horns, and then you say "only one trade". Which that is just.. ugh. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Your very confusing and I don't understand your ways.

Thanks for [insert something that you did that actually benefited me here].

I send a trade for their Eat Me. I had added in some horns as a benefit. They then tried to trade for just the horns, but I wasn't interested in trading them unless it was an additive like I had used above. They went back and forth, trying to convince me to trade just the horns. I refused and then they accused me of trying to force them into the Eat Me trade. You "don't understand my ways," huh? Well, you know, I explained it to you several times. I wasn't interested in overpay on the horns. I was interested in using them as extra fodder for your Eat Me. Nothing else. I wanted them for something specific, not just a random overpay offer. Don't freak out because I say no and don't accept your overpay. I don't have to. I was completely polite the entire time, even though I was extremely frustrated that they couldn't get it through their mind that I didn't have to accept their overpay. And they were so rude throughout all their messages. Like nope. Don't have to deal with this.

I just got a trade for one of my C$ with the following message:

Can u put the husky banner dog in this trade but put it ask them to edit the trade and send it back.... Just cause I have a good trade

One, I don't even know what this means, which sort of defeats the point of having a message at all. Two, if it means what I assumed in the end, that they wanted to give me a 'good trade' for my husky... why? I only have one, I have never expressed any interest in trading it. It's not even in an open group. I just... /holds face gently.

[niceplant]

best swap of the year

[Frankina]

and they were a 2008 user too

[Skyure]

Wow... I have only THREE rules.
Easy rules

Basically only offer something the same worth of what you're asking from me, not going around the WL lock by offering hoardies or missed outcomes from previous months.

And don't offer me horses/b-wolves/bunnies because I have them on my WL to get them from the pound/adoption centers.

This user broke both rules by going around the WL lock with two horses that are from july...

Feel free to edit!!!

Feel free to read my rules again <.<


Also, I know that people don't like swaps but I really NEED to keep my swap center going, so offering me stuff from MY wl is nice and all that, but doesn't help me helping others out ya know?

[Shirosashi]

I log off for a split second and my new AWD, being unsorted, gets offered on. My trade rules specifically say:

5. My ungrouped pets folder is for pets I am undecided about where to put, do NOT offer on them.

But this trade was different, totally out of the ordinary; they were offering a Raven. Their trade message:

Maybe? :3

I just got the trade of my dreams, I would have accepted..but right after I clicked it, they cancelled with:

Nah, you took too long any way .

Seriously? You sent it not 7 minutes ago...I..Just, I don't get it...Why me?
