Tricks of the Trade (Sublimes guide to trading revealed!)

I found the older-member-finding tip annoying. I myself am one such member and do not welcome open-ended trades. The trade rant thread is full of these trades. Check it out: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=110866

This.

I'm sorry but there's ways to avoid being 'found'.

I'm not going to remove it, its apart of trading on the game. Sorry.

Could I make a suggestion? I don't know if anyone else has mentioned, but you should stalk the auctions too. I won an auction for an 2008 advent with just my newborn puppies. There are several that float around now and then that want large groups of very easy to get pets. My winning bid was mostly the new June 2nd gens. Hoarders that collect very commons and commons sometimes trade/auction off higher rarity pets for them.

I think it's ok if you send a trade and ask them if they want to trade.'But putting a scamming message like "this pet us the rarest pet so I'll give you this for your common zebra horsy"
isn't right. Since that's a LIE! but "hello! Would you like to trade?" should
be alright I think. I mean, if they don't, they cancel.
If they do, they accept. If you were to not ninja trade in your life ever on CS, you would probably
never have much progress in your collection. (unless you get pets
for free)

People need to ninja trade in order to expand their collection, but lying to people about how much their pets are worth is unacceptable.

Perhaps put "Never give up"? Just now another user and I were sending trades back and forth, before we finally traded:
She got two Mausoleum dog newborns, per request
I got 8D

And no one needed to ninja or open trade or stalk older players? Win-Win!

Exactly!

I don't know if I would say "never give up", it might give people the impression that even after they are told someones not interested, they should keep trying. I myself am fairly persistent, but most kids dont know when to stop.
