It isn't so much the trade, because I sent it, but the cancle message.

I put this:

Trade? I missed the top outcome, and I think you missed the one I'm offering.

And this was the cancle message:

sorry

No reason why, nothing. I think the trade was fair, and even if they had just recieved the pet I was offering, it could still be trade fodder, right?

Erf getting this reminded me of a pet peeve.

Note, this is not a rant about THIS trader as much as just the practice used as a whole by some (and I will admit I in the past have been guilty of this but have since changed my ways because I found myself on foe lists not knowing why)

When people send ready-to-accept lopsided trades with a note to edit. (not fair or close to fair trades with a note to edit if you want).
While I know the tactic is the person just might accept as is, and you get a good deal. It irks me because most of the time when I see "so and so wants to trade..." and then see something badly unfair to me, I don't tend to see the message first, so if I don't cancel it outright (and then get a snarky PM of "I said you could EDIT") when I do see the message I'm not in the mood to edit and tend to cancel it anyways.
I dunno, it's more a personal pet peeve since I guess they are saying to edit, I guess it just makes me think about how many people say they get scammed or ninja traded because they didn't know better... and it just seems like a blatant tactic to try to get more for less.

Bah now I'm even doubting if this is a legit rant, ah well, just one of my peeves.

and .. right after I wake up to bad news (see sig) and edit in warnings, I get this

People do that all the time to me. I don't know why. I overpay with an 09 for a '11 and they cancel with "sorry".

Whenever I start a new hoard it always causes some hilarious trades.

I love how they cancel this with no message. D:

Yes, but I try editing, but they just send it back, and no communication = no trade
