Trade Rant Thread

[PencilApocalypse]

People who flat out ignore you. .-.
I'm interested in giving off-site currency for pets, and the person read my PM after letting my trade sit for a week... And nada. Another user did about the same thing, though I don't have a trade pending. Both users are trading with others... Am I just THAT worthless? ><

A lot of people refuse to cancel/let you know they don't want it/ect. and just leave it there instead. Clearly they think you're just going to get the message. -.- Common courtesy, people!

I find it rude to just leave people in the lurch. It keeps up their hopes and I absolutely hate it when people do that to me. I don't know if they're ignoring me, trying to send a message or just thinking about it.

Some peope or so impatiant they sent a trade 1 day ago and now they canceled saying"I guess you don't want to trade"
Really?
I love to trade its just that I'm busy doing other stuff or waiting for peple to respond on the fair trade thread.

I'm guilty of leaving trades sit there for various reasons lately. Usually it's because the person sending the trade is someone I'd like to trade with but they don't have anything available that I want. So I'll leave the trade sit and keep checking back to see if they've gotten anything new in that I might want to trade for. Or sometimes it's because I just can't make up my mind what I want to do with the trade. Canceling is so final. D:

I generaly give about a week maximum for people who haven't been active or very active. For people who I know are all over the forums, keep logging in every two seconds, ect., I cancel after about 2 days, because I know they're two stuck-up to just cancel and tell me that it isn't fair or something. ¬_¬

@Pinion - See, leaving a trade like that IS fine. Debating over what to do with it ect., you've got good reason to leave it a while. It's people who point blank refuse to even cancel that tick me off.

It takes me forever most of the ime to respond t a trade.
Usually they have so many good stuff and I can't decide or the pets in a different trade and I want both ofthem but can only accept one trade

But I'm on CS practilly 24/7 Its just to I have to decide.
"Hmmmm should I accept or edit.I really like that pet I might regret it latter.Lets wait intill tomorrow"

Yeah I do that all the time. I'll keep going back over and over a trade. Keep looking through their available pets. Then finally I'll just click the page off and walk away figuring I'll come back to it later when my head stops spinning. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
And the fact that rarities and values and demand for this pet over that one have gotten so confusing as there are more pets released and more people join. The gap between the older '09s on back and the newer pets has gotten so huge. Then there's the occasional true rare or very rare pet released with the monthly adopts to confuse things even more.

This isn't a rant about a fail trade or something, this happened last year during the advent calender with someone I thought a friend. On the 18th, as always, I was very unlucky. I got two pets that I already had, one was an 08 advent VR cat but it didn't do much for me because I already had one. My friend got an 08 advent VR PPS (I don't know it's official name, it's the white one with the orange and pink markings, floppy ears) and offered to trade it to me for the cat. I knew this PPS was worth more and I offered some more rares and she said no, and I finally allowed her to trade it to me for only the cat. I was very grateful because I didn't have this pet yet and my goal is to have a complete collection.

Twelve days letter she tells me "I realized I actually like that dog, can I have it back?" And that really irked me because she gave it to me almost as a gift and now she suddenly likes it so she wants it back? That's like giving a gift to someone in real life they really want then suddenly deciding you liked it more than you did before so you ask for it back. Being me, I didn't want to be rude so I'm like "Yeah, fine, whatever. I want my cat back though." She sent a suggestion with the cat asking for the PPS, and I added it. My message was simply "....". She acted like it was her favorite pet for a while and added tons of bows to it and whatnot, and then she ended up trading it away. Gee thanks, I can see you really liked it.

I just felt the need to rant about that now. I don't think my "friend" knows I was ever angry about it because I never told her. I can't ask for it back because it's gone, of course...
