Trade Rant Thread [v.15]

[snowykay]

I get back from my trip to see "12 new trades." Do people send me lots of trades when I'm offline? I find that weird...anyway one of them was a really nice gift to me, that was auto cancelled not long after it was sent. I think it's very annoying when people send you gifts with pets that are in other trades so they'll just get auto cancelled. I know I don't know that maybe someone offereda good trade for one of the pets in the gift, but it makes it no less frustrating to me.
Another Rant:
When people who are on the other end of the trade answer you on the FTT. π.π

So,I was doing a secret experiment. I left my August lion in the ungrouped pets. And my very first rule was (and still is) Be-Be is NOT for trade. The experiment was,how many people read my rules. First one,read my code word. Was smart and offered me a few uncommon punk ponies,full rainbow pony and rare black and white guinea pig. Second one,offered me rock elemental cat. Third one 3 2011 Halloween dogs, Medieval lioness queen and princess,pps Medieval dogs,the two Medieval PPS cats,and one full grown, 2nd gen butterbun,2011 Valentine's dog,one of the Lotus dog outcomes. And rare 2009 Okapi PPS dog. Fourth offered me last month's cat pps plus 25 CS. Fifth,April Fools Butterbun. And so forth with the injustice. After I cancelled a trade telling the person it wasn't for trade. They called me rude for not locking her and ruining somebody's CS dreams... -.-

It's people like you who really tick me off.
If you don't want to trade your pet, Lock. The. Damn. Group.
It is NOT that hard to do.

If you're going to open the lions group it doesn't matter what you put in your rules, people are going to offer. Why? Because ANY pet that is in an open group IS for trade for the right offer. You would not believe how many people have "[insert pets name] is NEVER for trade" in their rules; and they traded that specific pet to me because I offered them something they couldn't refuse. OBVIOUSLY with the demand for the lions people are going to offer regardless of your freaking rules.

Not to mention that opening a group that WAS locked JUST to show off a pet that isn't for trade is probably the rudest thing you could do to a person. Experiment or not, you should have known that with the demand for the August Lion that no matter what you put in your rules people were going to offer. That much is obvious.

There is also the fact that people will offer on pets you said in your rules weren't for trade JUST BECAUSE you put in your rules that they weren't for trade. That's like luring them in! "Oh that pet isn't for trade? But they're in an open group... Maybe if I offer on it they'll either trade it to me or smarten up and lock their group."

I hate these kinds of experiments.
You should at least have the decency NOT to taunt people.

I am losing ALL hope for the population of CS.

*claps* Well said kalika.

Oh, and the same with me but with my Pink Sorbet.
I'm not a fan of pink, but she's so cute ;.;

Seriously, what should I do. Someone *accidentally* put the august lion in their trade, and they now want it back. What should I do? :C

[CodeOtter]

man, it seems everyone who wants a pet can't afford it. *sigh*

That's only for the rares+ or the omg so populars. I don't see anyone unable to afford uncommons and below that they really want. x)


Purple sleipnir, do you hate me? You must, considering how long you've been hiding from me. I actually have enough to afford you, yet you continue to evade me. >n>

i couldn't find a purple slepinir for so long, i just gave up :\

The trade is over.
You don't have to give it back.
It was their choice to trade.

I would keep it, if you payed well enough, unless they are willing to do a complete trade back or something =P

No Nick Cakes to be found anywhere. ;=;

Agreed.

I sent a reasonable trade for some rats and I offered a few 2011s and the person cancelled and foed me because they apparently don't trade with people who aren't fans of One Direction.

I laughed, honestly. It's so childish and immature that it's impossible not to laugh.

If you're not trading it, don't put it here. There's a simple solution and it doesn't need to be ranted about.
Regardless, don't call having hope that they will get the pet they want "injustice". Just because you wanted to do a rather rude "test" does not mean that anyone who ignored or didn't see your rules is a bad person.

This.
Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having an unlocked group labeled "NEFT" or "NFT", or having a pet in an unlocked group named "NFT" or "NEFT", regardless of how many E's there are. Any offense taken to a showcase group or showcase pet is by fault of the trader, not of the owner of the pet.
