Oh god, speaking of bad trades .. Back in 2009, when suggestions didnt exist, whenever someone sent me an empty trade asking what I wanted I JUST ACCEPETED IT. Always. After all these were just worthless doubles right? I was so stupid omg
I also got three Wood Angels in the original release and traded two away for nothing of value, because I didnt realize they would be so rare ..

I gave

(hopefully this doesn't turn into too much of a Trade Rant thread to get it removed, I think most examples here are good, but I'm not a mod)

We’re not ranting ^^
We’re just comparing trades from then and now. It has changed so much. I can’t believe the trades I got my store pets in ^^ I remember in 2010 wanting the store pets and there was this person who was trading them for an advent each.. which was expensive at the time but I still got my store pets that way and it has worked out for me now lol ^^

Oh hey that was me! I would buy sets of store pets and trade them for an advent list for a set! It was a good way to build up my trading portfolio.

About 5 years back, I quit and gave everything I owned to someone I thought was my friend and would take care of my stuff.
Turns out, they traded and gifted everything away including my near complete item set. I'm glad it helped them complete like two of their goals but I lost my moon set, my coontail hoard, tons of other listies and everything. I came back and was able to get my KISS PPS hoard back from them but ended up having to buy most of the items I gave them back for FR. That is easily my biggest regret. I am still bitter about it but they're not really on CS anymore anyway so I don't have to see them around.

@Crestalia- that was you? I have so many advents to you at the time if it was lol. But I’m fine with that ^^ I miss trading like that, when nothing had a set value on a list. You kinda just took what you were happy with back then ^^ We’ll I did anyway.. there was no list when I started I don’t think >.<
Awww that’s sad but hey you’re doing really well now so silver linings ^^

It may have been me if it was late 2010 (after the list was created) because I made that trade a lot. If it was earlier, probably not haha. Honestly though, it may be been asking overpay back then (even though a lot of people did make that trade) but after time, it was overpay on the store pets side haha!

Yeah thankfully I went over to eldemore before it got huge then sold everything to FR when it was huge then got really lucky when a user approached me wanting to sell their UR Tiger for 12kg on FR. I didn't know it went for higher at the time since I was just starting to get back into CS but that is where most of my account came from lol. That and some very generous and beautiful gifts. <3

I wish I could find some of my old trades. I can only really find the ones that I know happened with specific users who haven't changed their names.

I had so many orange cerbs it’s kind of sad now but yeah, the trade values from 09 were so different.

I had more than 20 Eat Mes and gave them away for monthly outcomes 8D I would have neveeer thought that Store Pets would go for 2008 pets - ever!

I only found these trades because I still have the pets :lol:

I had fewer than 100 pages of trades for a few years, so I was able to see my walls of November 13 trades for quite a while haha

"Well, what do you know. I found one of the pets that you adopted from me! :lol:

Sorry to hear that you're leaving CS, though D=" - my trade message, December 2009
"The requested user does not exist." - profile page of person I sent the trade to
Does this still happen, or was the system a little different back then?

(if you didn't notice: "Given to nickjr by: nickjr"
I feel like deleted members still show up in the "Given to user" line...)

Just seeing that avatar by the original thread maker sent me back in time aha~
Seems like half the site had those blinking dog avatars.
CS didn't really have it's own avatar database when I first joined, if I remember correctly?

I have trouble even remembering where most of my pets came from/went :')

My one hope for the future is that CS will develop a function where you can delete your old Oekaki art....please...please let me erase them...
