Trade Rant Thread [V.33]

[CarmillaTheCreampuff]

Nothing against this person. I'm just baffled.
So I get this trade for a date swap, with the message:

Yo please edit. I would like to date swap with you, but how will you make it up to me?

Now, I'm happy to add a little extra to a date swap so the person gets a bit of a deal. Even if the value of the pets are the exact same.
So I edit to this:
The Dog is on their WL by the way
And they send back:
this.

Well what would you want for this?

So I sent it back and told them I only wanted a date swap, as that was the group it was in.
And they cancel with this message:

Well, what you offered for the date swap was far too small for me to accept. You offered me a recent months pet for 3 years of difference, which I am not willing to do. Have a good day!

Did...what?
The cats are worth the exact same...I'm the one overpaying.
Did you want me to pay a September list for a stupid date swap of an '09 rare?
*sighs* Date swaps are the most impossible things ever I swear.

One time someone cancelled my trade with the message "Such a joke, no chance"

Like dang a simple "No" would have sufficed

I'm very sensitive and almost cried actually

I chuckled a good bit, and then cancelled with a simple "lol."
I then received a message (I hate it when people do this) telling me that I should have been nicer, and it's "people like me" who ruin their trade experience (certainly they are at no fault, right?)
Just a mini-rant, slightly OT: no one is of any obligation to anyone to be nice, accommodating, or to "let someone down easy." Ever. It doesn't make them a bad person, either. It's not my - or anyone's - job to coddle strangers, especially those on the internet.

Now I'm blocked, so I can't even reply. Bummer.

Rubble pile, please don't give me those pets and Canopic jars -.- I give up. Without any unbroken bricks I won't ever get the missed calves.

[Applenz]

Someone sent me a suggestion with the message "wanna make a trade?" so I edited it and sent it back. I noticed that the person was still online and thought maybe they were ignoring my trade.
But it turns out the pet they offered me is in an auction and they added my trade to the bid list!
Seriously? Who does this?

[Demonking Urizen]

Yes, because one 2010 rare rat is not enough for your Koi store pet.

[pushpin]

why are so many people so unnecessarily rude in their rules like I really want to trade with you after reading that

[Cony]

This is overpay but that dreamie

Lol what? Are you even able to speak properly?
I cancelled with
"Overpay on my side, yes.
I don't want to trade this dog away if it is unfair to me."

A moment later I get a PM with the title "Unfair":
"Actually it's unfair on my side"
Lol what again?
They foed me and blocked me from sending messages. Talk about childish behaviour.

I will never get those last two calves I need at this rare :c

I hope I get a fair trade for my Malk fish involving the new store pet.
