Ah good stuff

25 sales from my shop today so I'm really happy.

But only 1 trade done I'm sure my trades are fair but the trade centre sems to be very quiet.

To be fair, there have been a lot of trades that are...not equal by any means.

Asking for evovled/legendary pokes while offering common ones won't exactly get a lot of action

[Sally_Ann]

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean Guardian Shizo.

There are a lot of silly trades up right now, but thats the nature of most pokemon collection sites unfortunatly.

Not just the sites, the GTS is swamped with them too.

[Sally_Ann]

Haha, while we are on the subject, please excuse any stupid trades you see of mine of randoms for legendarys.

I have to put ones I want to keep unevolved up for trade so I can use evolution stones on the ones I want to evolve.

Of course I don't actually want to trade them, (just 'move' them out of the way for 10 minutes so I can get to the right gender with the evolution stone) so I have to make then stupid offers

They shouldn't be up for more than a few minutes so hopefully no-one will see them, I just had to post here on the off chance someone might think I'm a greedy idiot lol

[SageOfMagic]

yeah, the uneven trade thing is out of hand buuuut that's to be expected.

Shame since it bumped out my friend's rather legit trades and my own in the plushie area.

Does anyone else get random new members asking for trades? I'm cool with it but I was just wondering if I was the only one.

[WhoKnows_WhoCares]

I've had one or two random people ask me for a personal trade, one for my umbreon and one for my Vibrava (when it was a vibrava anyway) - interestingly both of these were the only one's on the server at the time... It's also the reason the 'reject trade' button was introduced to the trade center. Now i dont seem to get them, oddly.

[Undead]

I was getting SWAMPED with trade requests for my Charizard. I was actually thinking about taking him out of my party for awhile because it was getting so bad. Luckily that stopped though, but it was really getting on my nerves. I think I've only ever accepted one random trade I got and that was because it was actually resonable, a murkrow for a shellder I believe. I actually wouldn't mind getting random trades, it would give me something to do with my breeding centre besides mass produce tropius, and it's not like they can ask for much I don't have, though evolved pokemon wouldn't really fly with me unless they were offering another evolved pokemon. Point is I think random trades and trades in general need to be even, and I don't really understand why people think that an unfair/unequal trade is going to be accepted by anyone in their right mind. Yet they still put them up... It makes me wonder if people actually accept these trades, even if for no other reason then to not have to look at it anymore. I know I've had that thought before, though I quickly reminded myself it would only be encouraging them, making them go, "Hey, this actually works!" I can see Sally's reason for it, though the ranch could be used just as easily, but other people need to figure out what a fair trade is. If you want something good then you have to earn it like everyone else, it's not often that rare things are handed to you for free. I could see some of it being lack of knowledge on their part, the AA does have those pokemon that are harder to get, like lickitung for example, new people wouldn't know this pokemon is harder to get then any other. However when it comes to legendaries it's sort of common sense. I know there are some pokemon trading sites out there where you can get rare pokemon by doing nothing but the AA is not one of them and I'm honestly hoping that some of the newer users come to see that.

Sorry about the rant, I need sleep. Goodnight.

[Guardian Shizo]

I've done a lot of trades recently, but that was because I offered. Other than that I've never had anyone offer me a trade, guess thats a plus of never having a shiny

For some of the trades out there right now, it would honestly be easier to check the shops for a lot of the requested pokemon. I actually traded my gen II bulbasaur just because I was sick of seeing all the trades asking for them.

I couldn't agree more. It's one thing to trade one of the birds for another, but to try to get Articuno and you are offering a Weedle is flat out ridiculous.

[Sally_Ann]

Ergh, thank-you Undead!! Why on earth I didn't think of using the ranch instead of the trade post I have no idea lol *slaps self*

I think the little message "here are the 10 last active breeders, why don't you trade with them?" could be misinterpreted by some users.

I'll admit I am looking through older members boxes to see if I have anything people want becasue I'm hunting for a female squirtle. Havn't got round to PMing anyone though, I figured if I spammed enough trades someone might drop by and feel sorry for me XD.

[iloveeevees1]

Sorry if I am not online that much~

[Lilandra]

I can give you a Squirtle if you need one.

[Sally_Ann]

I'm not going to say no What did you need in return?

I had a look in your boxes, I can do a female turtwig since I didn't see one if you think thats fair?

Or if you fancy something else, snubbull, miltank, Cubchoo, Delibird, Deerling, Emolga, Snorunt, Starly, Bunearly, Woobat, Maractus and a few more but I'm too lazy to look lol, I just tried to see quickly what wasn't in your boxes.

(I also don't have lapras, spinarak, Wingull, torchic if there's anything else that takes your fancy since we are about the same level)

Appologies if this isn't the place to trade lol Lets just call it erm, getting to know each other or bonding

[pokemaster]
