Fourth Post -- Frustration
September 29, 2004
1:35 AM

This will be the last time I post the headling like this. It looks waaay too formal.

Anyway, after a looong break, I've decided to become active in the Exchange again. Well, it wasn't really for no reason. I realized I didn't have a Kandy Korn hat and was extremely curious to see how it looked on me. So, I sold most of my 100 flower crowns and started bidding. Unfortunately, the auction got to high for me, so I was stuck with a bunch of gold and 26 flower crowns. So sad. My inventory looks so weird without those rows and rows of happy red to greet me. I sold my babies to Ian. crying

*ahem* I must learn not to get attached to pixels. I mean, they're not real and if they just sit in my inventory, they are useless. I can't wear all 100 at the same time, so why even keep that many?

Oh yes, I'm straying from my topic, which is frustration. I'm a bit upset at buyers who send trade before posting, and sellers who accept these trades even though patient Gaians have been waiting in the thread! It's a bit like stepping out of line. Plus, in situations like these, the seller is usually selling something extremely cheap, which is really why the buyers try to sneak off without posting in order to insure they get the item. So, the posters are really trying to help because they offer what's higher than the seller expects. But still, they're the ones who end up with nothing.

I understand that frustration. If I'm selling a bunch of letters (and have the time) I only want sales from people who post. In previous "selling times" I cancelled trades if they hadn't posted.

What I dislike is when it's an item you've been bidding on, and you sit there eyes peeled then 30 minutes later the seller comes in and says "oh it's already sold." stressed

100 flower crowns? eek

I too, loathe unsolicited trades. Not only in the situations you describe, but also when I have an item in my shop for say 14k, and I get a trade out of the blue for 13k. And they haven't even haggled with me!

That's a lot of flower crowns eek

I bought my January to sell it when the price increased and I can't sell it now because I'm attached to it. Likewise, my Kimono and Pimpin' hat so your not alone.

Unsolicited trades are annoying. Especially if you say no PM's and you will start the trade. You start to wonder whether people can actually read.
