Trade Rant Thread

[bindieevee]

oh lol, I just got a trade for my pile of dirt, and they asked if they had anything in their trades group.
They were polite, but my stomach is hurting ....And its my only pile of dirt.

The ironic thing?
I was reading this thread when I got the trade. XD

Dovetail: I've got nothing against editing a bad trade (or accepting one that's a bit unfair for me) if the other person is polite and/or new, but cheaters... they take all the fun out of it!


Dancer101: I considered doing just that but with a slight twist, then decided against it... I was gonna take everything on my side off & just offer a warrior cat for all their rares XD Maybe if they send me another one. Three strikes & you're out kind of thing.

I sent a trade offering some decent pets for a green dragon.

They edit the trade, asking for a pet in my 'For a Galaxy ONLY!!!' group >.<. My cancel message: 'It's in a group called 'For a Galaxy ONLY!!!' for a reason...'

Ugh! I really don't understand these 2 trades. Maybe it's because I just opened free adoptions again, but the rules aren't that hard to understand :/
Trade 1:
them:nothing
me: PPS cocoon (not in my trades)
message: nothing
my cancel message: please read my rules -_-

Trade 2 (same person):
me: common butterwolf (in trades)
them: nothing
message: something like 'this one is mike' What?? That wasn't the exact message but something like it X3
cancel messgae: 'read my rules! Sending me another trade like this will put you on my foes list. '

Not to mention the endless amounts of trades asking me to edit, which isn't against my trade rules, but the people asking usually have nothing I want.

[adakie]

[Fishie]

another one! these bad trades are just rolling in.
Them: red dragon (malk's)
Me: bobtail non-PPS valentine (not in trade)
them: something like 'dragon for an advent?'
cancel message: none

Them (same person): nothing
me: February blue rainbow dog (in trades)
message: something like 'then can I have this one? And if not tell me why'
cancel message: 'because pets in my trades aren't free -_-
and you obviously didn't read my rules. '

Okay. I'm a regular stalker of this board... even though I don't post often... But I just want to know, how in the world do people just find your open groups? I don't even know they are open for trade most of the time! But the people who do find my open groups never want to trade (or at least not seriously) no, they just want to adopt. And while I can understand wanting to get something for free or a good deal. I'm a pretty nice person and I DO have an Up for Adoption group (which is sparse for the moment, but I may feel like adding pets to it soon). So I don't understand why think an unlocked group automatically means that they are up for grabs. And I'm not saying this about one person, it really does happen to me all the time, and I DO try to keep my groups locked except trades and adoptions. I guess the one today was the one that just made me want to bang my head against the table, because if it had been one or two pets that I had had duplicates of, I might have let them adopt it. But it was quite a lot, and duplicates of some of those as well. And since the person was nice, I was kind in return, after all, they would have left me with one of each pet. But, I really, I'm beginning to wonder how people find unlocked groups like that?

(Sorry, I rambled... >.<)
