Okay, so I went to the February swaps thingy..
and someone was asking for a PPS dark blue pony and a +13 day dark blue pony.
:I I offered them a +13 day pony for a newborn rat

They cancelled and told me that they wanted a +13 day pony.




Is this not a +13 day pony?

Maybe they meant Newborn +13 day pony? o 3o
That's what it usually means I thought. xD

They meant a +13 days complete Newborn pony. :3 They are looking for the PPS version and because yours is already grown they don't want it. x3

Edit: Ninja'd. xD

Last I checked the demand for joker is still high. So why should I trade for a few uncommons from my wishlist?

I'm being forced to relock the group due to the lack of amazing trades

So, I get this trade:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... QqWivxYzcw

Hi, I'm interested in trading for this unicorn. Please let me know if this works, I'd be happy to top up a little more Thanks.

Definitely unfair to me, but their message is polite so I think I can work with it.

I edit to this:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... 8u5iMlZXBg

Considering the age and rarity difference, how about this?

Also, that unicorn was the rarest/most popular out of its litter, if I remember correctly... I didn't mention it since I don't remember for sure.

They edit back to their original -unfair- offer.

...most people take two commons for one uncommon. Within the same year there's no disparity in the age.

Thus I would consider what you asked for a very unfair trade. Please feel free to change around but I'm not going to give you 8 Commons for an Uncommon - 7 of which are within the same year and 1 is even a festival pet.

(emphasis mine)

What makes this even sadder is the fact that they're not in any way a newbie... they've been here since June '09 and STILL hold that obnoxious view. ...Or they were hoping to rip me off. Sadly equally likely.

So I cancel with:

Then we have nothing to discuss. 2 commons for 1 uncommon is unfair to the uncommon, especially when it's more than 3 months older.

I'm just waiting for the snotty PM... u.u

I consider the edit to have been a little unfair to them actually, but I just view dogs as higher up. The unicorn was indeed the most uncommon of the litter though. Not sure if the most popular though. A lot of people loved the wings, but an equal amount hated them and said they had a 'broken' quality to them? Not sure on the last part.
