Auction Rant Thread

Nawww..... I'm sorry :c


--
>>Okay... really?
I have a spare 08 tiger rat that i'm willing to trade for a PeaPS [though not anymore]
and another person offers two uncommons and a rare b-wolf from mid-late 09....
I'm offering a rare 08 rat and the person running the auction said that the other person is ahead of me -_-
what ever...
I don't like auctions anyways... Much to... Personal... No one seems to care about individual amazing offers if it's only one pet... they want to get more pets from their wish list...

I mean come on... I'm way over-offering and they aren't even interested in my offer -_-

and before anyone asks- no, they said nothing about not wanting rats...

See that's what gets me too. >.> I've over offered before, offering way more in value in individual pets than in quantity. And yet, people don't seem to understand that even though it's not what they're 'looking for'...they can trade that more valuable pet for more of their wishlists. Seriously, is it that hard to figure out?

Yeah...
or my personal favorite... They have a stamp in their auction that says "I love rats" so I offer a rat... they then replay by saying: "I don't like rats anymore."

._.;
gee... thanks...

I didn't even know how to respond...
I half wanted to spam the thread to oblivion... but that would be mean /innocent smile
Plus against the rules... oh well :3
I'm sure someone would understand my popcorn spam....

I am getting pretty upset at all the scalping that is going on with the PeaPs too. I mean, I'm glad people like them so much, but I feel really bad that they're giving up such valuable pets for them.

[Vluaaq]

Honestly, If i had a spare and I knew I could trade it for oodles of pets, I would... But I would take fair offers too
but it's gotten to the point... where you over offer and people say "This dog is worth way more than that"

-_-
no it aint...

Oh well.
I'll just wait for the rarity to die down...
Just like the store pets... they are in really high demand the first week... then it all dies out for a while.

Or maybe someone will pay me a PeaPS in my art store -crosses fingers-

I wonder if people even realize that their PeaPS isn't worth a pps july 08 >> I see a lot of people asking for outrageous things like that...

To be quite honest, I officially hate auctions in general. When I run them, I end up cancelling them due to lack of offers that are reasonable which makes both sides disappointed and sometimes I just forget that I'm running one or that I'm in one. I'm definitely sticking to trades from now on - and clinging to them for dear life.

Someone traded a Gearback for one o___o

Someone traded a Gearback for one o___o

I saw that...
and I was thinking to myself:

; A;
I have several rares worth more than that and I can't get a gear back :[

Yeah, the PeaPS craze is crazy. But don't let it get you down, Nepherim! Honestly, everyime there's a 'rare-suspected' outcome, people go insane trying to find one. To some people, it's worth it to find that first auctioned one. But, to those of us who are patient, we just lay in wait til the craze calms down. It was this way with the Null PPS as well. It just depends on how impulsive you are. And, either way, at least they feel your beautiful pet is worth it! But I feel you. *huggles* The -are- beautiful! (I traded my extra for the art in my siggie, lol. So at least mine went to a good purpose, no?)
PS, bookmarked your thread, LightBlueAqua! Could be seeing you in the future. *winks*

But yeah, the 'I want rats' thing, then turning you down? Heh, I've seen the same thing over and over. I really avoid the auctions forum. I've been outbid on insane bids, someone paying -way- too much, or I've been 'outbid' by someone with a lesser offer, and I've been announced as winner, trade sent, just to have them 'change their mind' and then get crappy with me. Yeah, no auctions for me. But, for some daft reason, I still go to them every so often. Don't know why. -.-
