I dislike it when people don't even know what they want.
I once kept sending suggestions back and forth for who-knows how long with a user, because they couldn't decide whether they liked my offer or not.
In the end we did trade, but it irked me greatly eue.
you're fabulous!

@ Samus
I'm quite happy you put the UR cat in a locked group, makes me feel like going to gift random people.


Nuuu, I did look at your unlocked pets, and since my rules say specifically that I'm only accepting WL pets, I'm going to have to decline your 5 or 6 uncommons for my gearback.
Please stop messaging me, as you don't have the means to pay for it. ;-;
Get up, get going; I'll meet you there.

I can kinda see the logic, vr for vr. They may have been new and not known the list? //es
No logic there if they new the list.

K, so I have a long standing policy of normally just canceling without a message for various reasons. Because of this I get PM's and messages on other forums even asking why did I cancel??@@@@!! :cry:

So, a little while ago I uh, decided to try explaining things out with a couple of trades when I canceled them. Totally intending nothing more than some trading advice and/or thoughts of my own as to why I didn't or wouldn't accept the trade.

This was one of them:
I understand if you cancel, but I thought I might as well try.

I canceled with:
Sorry but the only thing of any real value you are.offering is the flower and you're expecting way too much from that little g
guy. I wouldn't even pay a BA for him let alone a high end high demand main list pet...


What I did not add was the fact that I specifically said in my trade rules in 150font that I want Wishlist Pets ONLY for any Wish List locked groups. They offered nothing on my Wish List except the Bunny, Lion, and Yellow Sortic. None of which will get anywhere near the pets they added to my side.

And I got the following PM :roll:

Don't you think its kind of harsh to say you wouldn't even pay a BA for it? I've gotten offers with at least a BA in it multiple times :| . I even said I understood if you cancelled because I know the BA and BMD are pets demanded by a lot of people on this site. I really don't understand why people can't cancel without being rude in some kind of way on this site. I've cancelled plenty of times on plenty of trades without saying something negative, but others can never seem to do the same. I guess that's why I had you foed before though. I'll just learn from my mistake this time I guess.


lol! I have NO idea what they're even talking about as this is the one and only trade I've ever had with them. (I checked my trade history, nothing else showed up) Unless they're multi accounting and just let that one slip. Maybe I've had trading experiences with one of their other accounts or something...I dunno. All I know is that it seems I'm damned if I cancel with no message and I'm damned if I do. So I shall paste a link to this particular post in my trade rules as the ultimate reason for my continuing to just cancel. No message and if your feelings are hurt, it's not by anything I said that was taken the wrong way at least. :|

People who accuse you of ninja trading when they're just jealous they didn't get the trade you did.

these are pixels, stop accusing people.

This is why I usually refrain from telling people why I cancel. Things get misconstrued to easily and everyone is quick to jump on a "YOU'RE RUDE AND HATE ME" thought, regardless of the reasoning stated in the message.

I don't like how the BA's demand is so high.
The only reason it's there is because its rarity.
I mean, It's a black dog. With blue eyes. That should be on the advent list.
There are many black dogs on CS with a much more better design, but with an OMGSC or C rarity.
People pay SORBETS for them. UR Dogs. Toxics. That... That just makes no sense.
I used to like them and overpay for them to, but now, this is just stupid.
Owl of Athena has quit and given me their account. They will no longer be on CS unless to dress up pets.
This account also won't be used as I now have Owl's. On that account I will have my average signature, etc, back and i will be using that one.
Thank you all.

Yeah, I've tried explaining cancelling with mixed results. Seems just telling people why you cancelled because they demanded an answer is OMG so rude! :roll:

Okay, looks like I dodged the bullet here.
Thinking it was the $5 store item, I picked out a couple pets I liked figuring they would take out the spider and leave me with the dog or something.
They came back with this with the message of "What about this? Since you have 8 don't think they're worth to much :)"

Thankfully someone told me it wasn't the C$ item but a CS birthday item from 2010. Bless those people that don't know a good deal when they see one because I almost got ninjaed out of a rather old item worth more than a cake dog alone. :lol:
