Heh, I'm auctioning pocky and my auto is the fairest swap ever (really). I saw that previously people bidded on other pocky auctions and now... Nobody came, whole week of bumping and nothing

That stinks, and I feel you
I had a pocky auction, and I had some bad bids for it >.>
*cough*I hate rainbow drafts!*cough*
I guess most people think pocky's are worth common rares

Pocky's are worth more because they're older, but I have like....10 in my item trades that I can't get rid of Nobody wants them right now!

Yup, rarity wise they're supposed to be rarer than Halos. But honestly I've gotten all of the ones I have for next to nothing. Nobody wants them so value wise they're pretty common. I know someone with 20 of them who wants to trade them to me but I can't honestly think of a single pet I'd trade for any of them myself. I feel for ya though. I don't run auctions ever really because I can't stand all the frustration.

Best offers bold random color.

2 pockies is so worth more than a red toxic. *head desk* DX and no, they did not have the red toxic.

Okay. In my auction rules, I specifically ask people to put their bid pets into one locked group, right?

2. Please put any pets or items involved in your bid into one locked group. Do not send trades.

So, my first bidder bids two pets, no pictures. I respond:

i will bid on the zombie horse : 1 raven store dog and a rare halloween rat

-Happy Halloween!!!!

Could you please put your bid pets into a locked group and link them here please Both of the Halloween rats are VR I think now, so I'm not sure which rattie you're talking about...

Their response:

i would but its to much trouble to find them and put them in a group as i have over 800 pets....do you mind if i send you a trade??!

W...T...F??? My response:

Uh....sorry hon, your bid isn't that important to me I took the effort to acquire these pets, to sort them into groups, to post the code for each of them as well as for the thread itself. It would take you no more than one minute to put them into a group. And I will not accept a bid if you can't prove that you have the pets. The whole pets in a group thing is in my rules I'll have other bidders, and as I'm not looking to profit, then sorry - if you won't take the time to put your pets into a group, then I don't have time for your bid! Seriously

@the other bidder - Good bid! Could you put them into a group for me to link to? And be festive! lol

~Chianya

Why the hell do I bother with rules? I'm not looking to make a profit off of these auctions, but I mean seriously now. I expect at least the curtesey of having my rules read and followed. I'm pissed right now. Seriously, you don't have the time, can you send a trade when it says in my rules no trades? What the hell????

Gah

Someone clearly doesn't know their rarities .___.; How on earth did the one in second place win that position? All their pets are from '09...so not worth a Toxic...

[Kandria]

It bugs me when people won't take a trade suggestion for an auction but hey that is their prerogative, I prefer seeing he "the pet is offered in another trade" then having to keep track if pet someone else is trying to get from me is in a trade group, ect.

So I always am delighted to find auctions that DO accept it... then get pissed off if
A) the cancel it with "this is an auction pet !!!!oneoneone offer in thread" (Dude your RULES said send trade, wth?)
B) "Go post you sent a trade k tnx" (I like to remain anonymous when possible, so I tend to cancel those request, it's one thing to ask for a bump, I'll bump all they want, but to make me declare I have a trade and have people snooping (and asking me) what I sent... No)

I'm sure it's not as big as deal to most as it is to me, but it just bugs the everliving life out of me that their trade rules state I can send a trade then they stack on demands to it.

While pockys are old and rare items, I've never understood their appeal and would never trade for them...

sorry for the OT.

People are entirely within their rights to put bids with pets they personally prefer over ones that are more valuable. Maybe they didn't want another Toxic.


I already pulled out of this Noncoon auction since I didn't have good enough pets, but this later post made me laugh:

I withdraw also, the rainbow mane is worth a blue ballon which is worth a non-coon

lolwut. Someone is sorely misinformed. I don't wanna spam the person's auction by correcting them but that's the dumbest thing I've heard all day.

I think that the rares list should be sticked . And the title should be in bold red.
