Trade Rant Thread

What the heck? BIGGER person? That's messed up.

[dozy]

I hate it when, Older members think they can get a cheap July out of me...No.

Them: A few November 08s, Jan 08's, Roadkill Pony, Eat me, Reindeer Rat, Boa rat
Me: July08 PPS

No message.

I cancelled without a word. What part of, "you must offer at least 1-2 July08 Dogs, or at least 1 Dreamielist pet before I even consider your offer.

EDIT: This takes the blooming cake. They are a well-known member, and they have been around since July08

Geez...

People sometimes consider the amount of posts/the name to mean the person is new :/

Nope, they are a well-known member :/

Yeah, well, I decided everything about that entire situation was messed up about the time I got the very first message. >.<;

Two new Trading Pet Peeves of mine:

1) The wishlist feature- yes, I love it, because now it means I have a handy, easy-to-update list of all the dogs I don't have one or more of in trades already, and thus would be happy to trade for, but it also means that now all those commons I listed so that I could still trade with newbies who didn't have much as of yet and just wanted to catch up on some previous month's pets are now suddenly being targeted by people. For example, I got this trade:

Would you like to trade?
Wishlist for wishlist.

She offered: 3 Uncommon 09 dogs, 4 Common 09 dogs, 1 Common B-Wolf I hoard, and 1 Very Common dog.

She wanted: 9 Uncommon dogs.

Seriously. Yes, all those pets were on my wishlist, but that doens't mean I'm going to overpay for them. I wound up cutting everything but the three Uncommons from her side and traded her three of the Uncommons she'd asked for for them- fortunately, she was really polite about it.

2) People on the fair trade thread who apparently just go there to answer each other and ignore everyone else. I had a trade I needed advice on, and no one ever answered me on it- and while I was waiting, my partner canceled the trade. Really disappointing.

Wow. All I can say is never put two rare dogs in your signature and then forget to lock the trade settings on their group. :p

I'm going to burn my computer if I get one more trade from someone wanting Sunset (my dark leopard) saying, "choose what ya want." Expecially because the people sending these messages joined five days ago.

Lol. I agree.

What's the point of even having them, if your not going to trade them? I'm not pointing fingers, if just always wondered that :3

This. ThisthisthisTHIS.

A while ago I went there (I don't remember what the trade was for) and about three people answered the near exact same thing to a post that was about two above mine, then got into a discussion about the store dogs. Never got a reply. Dx The good news is the last time I went there (Under a TOTAL misunderstanding. :< ) I got a reply pretty fast.
