Trade Rant Thread

[Khemo]

8D Totally. Or a club where we try to explain to newbies the point of trading.

TRADING BOOT CAMP o:

At least a guide on trading, which there sorta is one I guess. xD Or a Rarities 101.

[iPawki]

Yeah... we could still have both. XD I purposely keep my "Never for Trade" group unlocked to see how many stupid trades I receive. XD

Yeah, there is already a Guide. But we can explain to them in a little bit more defined way trades and auctions, and how a July '08 2nd gen isn't worth much. XD

EDIT: I just made the best trade in my life.
A rare nick '08 Halloween dog
For
A blue maned horse, a green maned horse, and a yellow maned horse. XD

[Khemo]

awwwwwwwww but then we wouldn't have an amusing time laughing at n00bs that would be sad

Actually, we still would. If we come across people who won't read trading rules, I don't think they'd read a guide. The "But they have more rares it's not fair! Dx" people would still run around as well.

They'll likely be cut down, though guides may not deter them from the amusing after-trade PM's we see here often. Sometimes there's no getting through to people. So amusement shall abound! O: We'll just be able to pick out the really wily ones.

[Tru]

There will always my n00bs who don't listen or follow the rules, no matter what is done to teach them other wise XD

I am honestly surprised though, that will all my groups unlocked and with what I have, I haven't had a single outrageous trade XD

[DaDwarf]

...erm..I put in my rules Cole and DD are not for trade and yet i have been offered so many trades for them right now that i decided to put them in a locked group...some people -_-

[*trophamus*]

gaaaah sumthing trade related just happened, its not rly funny, sort off sad. well this person sent me a PM saying they were really interested in the 3 store dogs i had, i wasn't really gunna trade them, but i decided to give them a chance, so i looked in there groups and they had alot of stuff i liked, so i thout what the hell i'll get more CS in a month or so, so with lots of pming back and forth we had a few convo's and they seemed really nice! i had trades with them before aswell, so i ended trading with them and i told them to send the trade along, so they did, and thats where it went wrong -.- they had taken out some of the rares i wanted and added a bunch of uncommens i allready had (becasue aparently the other rares were in another trade, why didn't they tell me this in the first place!), and they hadn't addeed the most important pet i wanted, so i cancled it saying i was so so so sorry, then sent them a PM saying that that wasn't what i thought we had agreed on and that i was very sorry so they sent me this.

GRR. I finally go around to making trade rules, because I keep getting bad offers on my rose re-release, and then this comes:

Them: Aqua spot october, 2 uncommon bunnies
Me: Rose re-release, Pink Sept. re-release

It is not awful, but...
My (new) rules clearly state: -Stuff outside of trades is not for trade. Unless you offer a July or August. *nods* I like Julys and Augusts
(And yes, the last part is just for fun. I don't expect people to offer that )

And then she pms me and says (and just titles the message "j")

t was very fair i gave you a rare and two uncommens for two uncommens

I replied

I don't really care how fair it was, I love those two, and the rose dogs are some of my favorites. They are not up for trade. Read my rules.

[Atwood]

You should probably change the bit about Julys and Augusts to specify July/August '08s - otherwise you're sure to end up with people offering a common Morality on your rose dogs and such, saying "You said you'd trade them for August dogs!" I get a ton of bad offers on my Blue Rose, which I've put in a locked group now (even though it is for trade) just to stop the onslaught in my trading centre. Now I just get PMs with bad offers for it.

[Appleie]

Haha, I should probably. I am thinking of moving them, but I want to wait until they are full grown so they can head into the locked group I already have.

They messaged back

I did.

(read your rules)

I responded:

Then you would have seen this, and I quote:
-Stuff outside of trades is not for trade. Unless you offer a July or August. *nods* I like Julys and Augusts
and
-I only trade full grown

EDIT: Reply

yup

Me:

So your offer was against my rules

Reply:

Yup

*headdesk* I really want to foe them. But I don't get much trade ranting, and this is fun

[Fiery Gatoh]

My side: Light orange September
