Trade Rant Thread

[iPawki]

XD I'm having the time of my life reading all these unfair trades. Evil me.

I have had the most infuriating trade day...

So this person offered me the vixen dog and the demon pps from this halloween for my 3 store dogs. I thought that seemed like a good deal since I really want that PPS. But they had asked for my personal store dogs, so rather than accept, I quickly went to the C$ store and bought another set and edited the trade back.

First they edited it, taking out the pps and offering just the vixe. Then they canceled it. Then they sent it again offering the vixen and an eat me. Then they canceled it. Then they sent it again offering the vixen and a drink me dog... All of this was while I was out so I came home to a full PM box. There were NO messages with ANY of these trades.

So, I edited it back, asking for the pets they originally offered me. They sent it back. Vixen and drink me. Still no message. I edited it back again. "I don't want that dog, I already have it, etc etc, these are the dogs you offered the first time so this is the only thing I'll accept." So they sent it AGAIN offering the vixen and a drink me. REALLY?

I canceled it and told them to stop wasting my time.

Ugh, I should have just accepted in the first place rather then editing it. I just wanted to keep my own set since they were already on the way to growing and I didn't want to have to wait longer. That was so stupid of me.

That happened to me, but it was with a different pet. They offered like these two Christmas pets for my rare Halloween, and I edited, taking off one pet and adding two items. They edited back, coming back to the original offer. I said, "Sorry, I already have this pet." And I edited, sending it back. They sent it back with the original offer, with no message. I finally canceled, saying, "If I edited in the first place, it kinda means I didn't like the offer." Or something like that. I was really trying to not sound rude.... XD

The trade that invoked this latest rant was actually pretty fair - no, scratch that, it was probably just a very good deal for me. A rare green/black (I call it the "emerald butterfly wolf") butterfly wolf, plus that rare dog (grown) with the flower wreath around the head, and an 08 sheepdog, all for my black advent.

...

Do you suppose now that "Under no condition is Snowflake, my rare black 08 advent, for trade" now appears thrice in my automatic trade message, people will actually take it seriously?

Permalock.

Let's break down this word.

Perma: from Latin root, Per-, throughout, -manere, to remain. Modernally accepted prefix to describe as permanent, remaining, withstanding.

Lock: n., 1 a : a fastening (as for a door) operated by a key or a combination b : the mechanism for exploding the charge or cartridge of a firearm
2 a : an enclosure (as in a canal) with gates at each end used in raising or lowering boats as they pass from level to level b : air lock

So...

Permalock: adj., Remaining fastened; eternally enclosed in a space.

So, children, what does this mean?

What would you like for this dog [in my October 08 (Permalock) group]?

I would like nothing at all. Because it's never for trade. -.-"

On Christmas Day, I FINALLY got my all-time dreampet, since I first flipped through the archives on March 7th O_x(9 Months)

I was reorganising pets(Yes, I do this up to 3 times a month, just as a bit of fun, plus I like to change my style after a while), and I got a Trade for My moonswirl. Why? I made her, her own group and forgot to lock it.

-My side-

Moonswirl

-Their Side-

08 Advent and Pink Balloon Bunny

"Tell me why if you cancel!"

Excuse me?! God, HOW NOT OBVIOUS IS IT THAT EBONY IS NOT MY FAVORITE PET. Trade groups were already made, since they are my priority when sorting out groups. I always make those first. I left a nifty note saying I was sorting out my pets, and only pick from groups that mark trade otherwise it will be cancelled.

Oy Vey.

[DaDwarf]

i got a trade for my pink balloon bunny, asking if i had a blue balloon bunny. I canceled, telling them it didn't exist. they sent it again, again for the bunny, asking if i had the dogs.. -_-, she could have looked into my groups..whatever, I cancel, saying no i don`t have it.

She sent it again, again with the bunny, asking if i wanted to trade my blue balloon dog , which is like my fav dog, called after me, in my Sig AND in a locked group -_-...

How stupid can someone be, i put her on my foes..

Oh wow. Sometime's it's just newbies. Like when I first joined, I didn't get the concept of having your own desgins to your animals, like your own character might have it's own desgin. So at an art shop, I wanted a dog with someone else's design. The person said that I couldn't take it... and I was a bit rude. Now that I realize my mistake..... XD *stupid me*

I'm not very good at July '08 and August '08 rarities, but that is not fiar.

I dunno. x.x but I have a few of my groups labelled with this (all of my 08s, Dec 09 (With Advents), lions group (Hoarding- my favorite animals), GUPPS (I have a full set. MINE.), cats (passive hoard- I keep all of what I get), and my Keep (Dragons, store boughts, rares that people WANT, full set of dice ponies and Pain horse (Very close to Kosa. <3)). I have it written in my trade rules that they're not ever for trade unless I offer, which is rare in and of itself. But, alas... >.<

[PastCat]

I'm not sure if this is rant-worthy, but:

They offer: the white tiger costume set from the store

For: my 3 spare new store dogs

I guess it just annoyed me that I could just buy the costume for less than the 3 dogs cost me.
