Trade Rant Thread

[asterrie]

Well...I've been reading, going through some tens of pages, reading your trade rants, all you poor people! It seems to me though, that newbies and the such aim for targets of older members, people that put up trade/adoption threads, and the like. Poor you guys that get so badly affected! ^.^ I feel so evil to be an older member with pretty much no newbie/noob trades. Though i have experience of being 'cheated' with my pets when i was the newbie with a rare pet.

Some kid sent me a PM asking for a Skeleton bunny for free.

This was the message...

If you do decide to give away this pet I would love to have him or any of your other rabbits in my bunny hoard http://www.chickensmoothie.com/viewpet.php?id=5522418 sorry about the pm but I really love the bunnies

Okay, obviously they KNOW I don't want PMs asking for my pets since they said "Sorry about the PM". It clearly says in my signature that even though I'm quitting soon, I do not want begging questions.

My cancellation message? "If you want my answer, read my signature." I really can't stand the nerve of people.

People are just plain greedy.
And it's said to see people go. :/
I never knew you, but still. lol

I got a trade once, asking for one of my few septembers I have for trade, at an absolute ripoff. Cancel that. Next day I got a PM in reply, and the person apparently was not happy that I wasn't being "generous" enough. Excuse me? And you supposedly ARE being generous by asking for the rarest pet I've got for trade?

Also, how some people think that having a hoard means you can freely skip about scabbing rare pets from people. I got a trade asking for some bunny and offering a newborn from last month "can i have thins for my hoard" .. "Not unless you pay for it properly."

And also "is that pet that isn't in your trades group for trade?"

No! Nova is leaving?

Yes, unfortunatly you're right. X.X Ever since I put up a adoption thread n00bs have sent me more trades. O.O It's freaky!


[I mean the n00bs. XD The n00bs are freaky.]

[Missy]

I got a trade like Chi's once. The person was asking for around 300-500 pets, and in return for nothing. n00bs these days

Yeek. Wait, I'm going to spill out some of my n00b trades..

Their side: Nothing
My side: A common dog
Message: Did you say you were quitting?
My message back: No way! I love CS! What are you talking about?
Well, something like that.

WARNING: This is gonna be huge DX

EDIT: Oh wow, I don't even know how to say this but - my buddy, and now my hero legionwolf is trading me a Sunback Perhaps this rant has a (big) silver lining after all! I <3 you legion! <3<3<3<3

EDIT 2: I got a screenie of their Edited trade, so I've included that instead of the text

So, throughout...all of October I believe, possibly including parts of September and I'm pretty sure November but I can't be positive...I'd been trying to trade with this one person for a Sunback Dog. I'd even agreed to do a "loan" trade and get them those pets in the future (which turned out to be every single rare 09 aside from the Nick Uni, up to August 09, plus a whole lot of very rare 08 pets) but they kept on adding pets from my Favorites or from Bidding groups, which I told them again and again that I could not trade, but they could add it to the loan trade. I'm offering a *whole* bunch of pets as is. Yet the trade gets dragged on...forever...forever....until I finally got tired of holding up all of my good spare pets for nothing and cancel it. I never really thought they were trying to rip me off until today (perhaps I'm naieve)

I traded the Yellow Sorbet and Razorback Tribal and Rainbow Horse that I was holding for them, and with a few other pets I got a Blue Toxic, a Black Eyed Galaxy, a Joker, a July 08 Rattie, and a Floppy Eared Tribal. I see this person online today, and since I've had such a meh time (as I'm sure I've complained enough about lol), I decided to see if I could get a trade with them done in one day. I sent them a PM and a trade, showing them the 4 dogs I liked, and offering 60 of my own dogs - including a Blue Sorbet, a Blue Balloon, my Blue Toxic, my Joker (although that was a loan until I get one in a trade tomorrow), my Floppy Eared Tribal, my Rainbow Horse, and pretty much all of the pets in my Arsenal and then some. I made it clear though that the Blue Toxic and Floppy Ear could *only* be used for their NonDogtag Moon Dog, if they were willing to trade it. I also said I would be geting a Red Toxic in the next few days - I didn't mention my Black Eyed Galaxy that I'm trading for the Toxic, keep in mind.

I wish I could make screenshots, but I can't so please, please, please forgive me for this but...I have to vent, I'm going to die. If I can get a screenie, I'll replace the text DX

And keep in mind that they've been told *many* times that they can't choose pets from Favorites other than what I offer, and that the pets in my Auctions and Bidding groups are *off limits* Bidder groups are the ones that hold pets that I'm bidding in auctions for other CS members.

So. Here we go. Remember, I had asked for 4 pets, which I didn't want all, it was just so they could choose 1 or 2 depending on what they wanted (as we were originally trading to do). And anything marked with a ** means it was in Favorites in a Bidder group

Their Side: July 08 Sunback Dog

My Side:
,

I guess it's my mistake for having sent a trade to them, but this is a member that most anyone would recognize, who always seemed sweet and helpful in the past, and I mean...I think I was just reverse-newbie traded or something (I hope that's it, because the other option is just greed)

I'm sorry to take up so much space but...I mean, I really thought this person was just a little misguided with trading, but this is just outright greed and after over a *month* of trying to make a deal that satisfied them...I feel like they were just playing with me or something

~Chianya

Oh good lord, Chianya O_o;

The Sunback's worth only a few julys xD (Well, actually only a couple, but people are willing to trade more for them e_e)

But that trade's absolutely ridiculous, especially if you PMed them ahead of time, explaining your predicament and standing. .__.

[Sugarminty]

lol this can´t be. A member keeps offering me store items you can buy for free in the store (jungle stuff, water bowls and this "I love you" speech bubbles...) for uncommon pets. I told and I told her again, but no, she keeps offering and asking for trades. ...?
A few days ago a member wanted ALL my for-trade-pets (i had about 30 that day) for... nothing. She / he wanted me to give her ALL my trade-pets for free. Asking for one or two does not hurt anybody...its a little sneaky, to ask, if the person you ask did never talk of free pets or so, but its not so bad. But asking for ALL? Huh? ... whats with some people here... *sigh*

[*trophamus*]

i have to admit all these stories are giving me the creepes i think i may go lock most my groups!lol

[Carm]

My side: the brown zebra in my siggy (the rare one!)
Their side: the green and red striped advent zebra
Message: None
I cancelled it saying: "Do you think I'm a idiot? READ MY RULES."
The nerve of some people.. the group my zebra is in has both the advent zebras in it, so they could have easily seen that I already had that foal.
