Trade Rant Thread. {new rule please look}

[writingrules]

Grrr....
I am looking desperately around for a Sorbet, and I just recently auctioned for one. It was a fair offer (in my eyes), and I had read the entire post. I promptly got a cancel back, with the message:

please read my rules.

So, bewildered, I wandered back to their post. Sure enough, under the list of autos, was a small line that said, "You must include a Joker dog or UR bunny." Wow. In and of itself it's surprising, but there was also the fact that I had COMBED the post before I auctioned. And it had not been there. I scrolled to the bottom, and it had a little banner that said it had been edited. In this case, it had been edited minutes before the time I was reading it; and also after I had made my bid, and a moment after they had canceled it.
That made me furious. So I PMed them saying:

You could have put that before I made my offer.

They PMed me back:

yea... well, it was a little unfair to me. so too bad.

So they're saying they can edit the rules, cancel a bid (even though it's an auction and you're not supposed to to that), and me downright rude, and it's okay because they see my trade as "a little unfair to them?"

That really stinks! If you have one set of rules, don't add new ones that aren't needed! Some people just don't know......

I don't even...what was going through that person's mind? There's not even a somewhat legit excuse for that trade.

Hi!
My pps dog is worth an 08' advent and an 08' advent is worth more than a target dog

It was the message more than anything.

Rant:

when older users are perfectly capable of making a trade fair, but don't because they think that they can get away with it. No, you can not get my rare '09 advent dog for a few 2011 hoard pets.

[Umbrellas]

You know it's a bad trade when the person tries to explain why it's fair.

BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT MY PET IS REALLY WORTH YOUR 09 RARE BECAUSE IT IS IN VERY HIGH DEMAND -

No.
