What do you think trades should be worth 2.0

[JennyFromTheRock]

We need an emoticon with buggy eyes going in circles and a finger circling the head doing the traditional "you're KookooBells!" gesture.

I'd love to respond to some PM's with just that. No words, just that.

Love it!!!

Ughh...... so frustrated by some traders!!! A newbie ( April 2012 ) trader was looking for Nexxus. I have 10 of them. I told her I would love to get a Baboo FPC. She Replied that she Has a "BUNCH" of Baboo FPC's but wouldn't trade it for "tearpads" would only trade it for another FPC or HV's.

Thats not the thing that TICKS me off! I looked at her trade thread ( one of the 11 CURRENT trade threads she has - hello 3 thread limit?? ) and there is a 2 foot long list of TEAR PADS listed on her TRADE LIST..... and then a EQUALLY long list of NOTHING but HV's and FPC's on her WISHLIST!!!

She's more than happy to TAKE peoples FPC's for her tear pads... but wouldnt even give one $3 baboo FPC from her "BUNCH" in return for $30 of Nexxus.... which ARE HV last time I checked. I really had to vent a bit. I am the furthest thing from greedy and greedy people get under my skin so much!!!!

Usually I do, I get a lot of crazy offers on here and a lot of times I'm fine with it. Even if she had said she only traded FPC for FPC that would have been fine too. What really choked my chicken was the way she replied that she would never give an FPC for a tear pad... yadda yadda yadda and how her coupon was gold. Meanwhile, her trade list is nothing but tear pads, and a wish list that is nothing but FPCs. The double standard really stroked me the wrong way.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with holding out to trade FPC for FPC, I can completely understand and condone why people who this. Its only right that if you have something free, you should get something free in return. Theres actually a whole thread about it here somewhere where a newbie asked why people do that and I explained ( as well as other people added to ) why thats a common practice.

This particular person, literally had a trade list with not a single FPC, but had a WL with nothing but FPC's. Also, the coupons she wanted from me ( Nexxus - that she Specifically said were for overage ) would have gotten her $10 in overage, plus $20 in free shampoo, and the way she responded as if I were asking for her first born child really ticked me off.

It was along the lines of I'm not giving you something free for a tear pad. Meanwhile, it was 10 of that tear pad coupons, that are considered HV to many people.

Really, its up to the owner of the coupons to do whatever they want. I just hate when people take advantage of others, gladly taking other peoples FPC's, HV's, and Rare coupons, and nothing to trade in return but regular coupons. Some people trade FPC's only for FPC's and other people trade FPC's for coupons ( albeit a larger value in regular coupons in exchange ) but its greedy and rude to have it both ways, asking nothing but FPCs and giving nothing but Regulars in return, but not vice versa.

^^^ Like going on a midway ride.

Sometimes people don't give you what you want.

Perhaps some members could just put each other on ignore, you won't see each others posts, nor get reps or PMs (or crazy trade requests) from them

Pepper, look at this smile CAREFULLY! It's something, you posted for yourself.
Boo, Fallen, sorry, but I have to post it, cause I'm shocked, speechless, and MAD! This newbie is having an auction : http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/313990-...ew-bid-canada/ for 2 Empire Theatre adult movie passes. I sent my bid, if you read the post she's mostly interested in regular coupons, some HV coupons, total as she counted was $88... You know, I've been here since 2008, I got many different PMs, but these two PMs, left me speechless...

Hi NikyK ~

Thanks for your interest. Like all bids, I've reviewed your bid carefully. Your offer is actually honestly the worst/lowest/most ridiculous offer i've received thus far. Thanks for your time.

~ Pepper

I actually sent another PM asking why?

Your coupons I add up to approximately $88. I am trading 2 x movie passes. They are literally FPC'S worth between $15-$25 depending where you are in the country. I am so sick of you "regulars" trying to rip me off. I'm not stupid..... you want 2 whole movie passes for just a few coupons!?! Go Away!

Folks when the movie ticket became equal to gold? The current bid is $113.50, and she posted:

As of Tuesday @ 5:00 pm~

Of the bids I've received so far this one has the greatest # of my wishlist coupons.... I don't think I'd part with both tickets for this though. The offer:

So, you, Pepper, expect to get over the $100 in your wish list coupons, including HV/possibly FPC for each ticket? Did you actually read the first page of this thread?
Fallen, I'd like to report those 2 PMs to Boo, she's at my Do Not trade list for now, and I'm sending PMs about this issue to all my friends, I hope the more people to read it, the less possibilities such a trade will get here!

NikyK, drive over to my neck of town and you can see a movie for $4.99 on the big screen, including taxes. Of course, you will have to come on cheap night...

Love the idea! But even without any discounts, Empire Theatre adult movie pass: regular $9.99 ( may vary depending on the province up to $12.50), RealD 3D - $12.99, The Imax experience: $15.50. Plus, if you read the ticket, I think all of them have the same limitations: This ticket may be applied towards the purchase of admission to IMAX, IMAX 3D, Real 3D or VIP room film presentation with the payment of an applicable surcharge. So, it's worth $9.99 actually.

I can't believe this all got posted here. If someone has a problem with me they can direct their comments to me, not call me out publicly. And if I need to be reported for refusing a trade, well, that can be done privately too. I'm not sure what part of what I said needs to be reported or why. I'm also not sure why the fact I'm trading tickets needs to be reported, or why everyone is being told to not trade with me.

I expect these tickets average around $10 each so I was going by the 10:1 ratio that GC's go for. (Like WM $5 = $50 regular coupons, for example) I am not looking for FPC's or HV's at all, just regular coupons. If I get a lot of coupons I need, then terrific. If not, I'm not going to let it ruin my day.
