Ex. You offer a common pet and select their rare. They accept.

I believed ninja-trading to be trying to convince the person that your pet is worth more than it is. Like offering a n00b a pet from a past month and claiming that it is extremely rare because they can't get it anymore. Making them think it is rarer than it is.
The first example Seasonal posted isn't really ninja trading-- it also tends to annoy a lot of players, especially if they already have the common pet you offer.
Starbit's explanation is not ninja-trading at all, it's outright scamming.
Ninja-trading is really just sending blank trades to people for certain pets you want/need, with a message asking if there's anything they'd like in return. Sometimes they ask for something of equal value. Sometimes they ask for something worth more than what you're asking for, in which case you haggle down. And sometimes, if you're really lucky, they just want something really cheap for their pet, like something they happened to miss from this or previous months. There's no lying involved. I use it a lot to get current-month pets that I miss.
Anyways, on to my good trade. My best friend of, what, six years now? Anyways, my best friend, DiabolicReality, gave me the one pet I needed to complete my b-wolf collection, the UR Butterfly Wolf, as a birthday present. I've never been more delighted. ^-^
Hey mods! I'm merging accounts with Diabolacuna, so I'll be sending all my pets over to her a bit at a time! Thanks for understanding!

I just send a suggestion asking to edit- the first example is most commonly used and annoys me. -.-;;
The first example is just downright mean. ;-; I just ask people what they want.

Ah I see now. I get confused with all these terms going around. They are easier to understand when you follow the conversations when they are made.

Not too bad!

Awww. >: I'll admit, stories like that are the reason I don't give away pets for free unless I know/like the person. If it helps, though, I think it's really generous of you to do that. :3

A couple of weeks ago I got a trade,
Them: Zebra
Me: White malk dragon and a couple of uncommon/common advents from 09 Christmas.
Then I traded that zebra for the plains zebra and then I traded that zebra for some pets and then I traded those pets for a zebra since I missed owning one lol
And then yesterday i got a free squidy from Tess(Thank you so much!), its on my zebra which is in my siggy.
