Is It Too Much to Ask for People to actually READ trade lists?

[LSue23]

This may come off initially as a rant...but I'm just a little peeved when people attempt to make trades with me without having read the bold and CAPITALIZED print in the post that clearly states the only things I'd accept for FPC, HV, BOGOs and rare coupons.

Just wondering if anyone else has had thing happen numerous times and if there's anything that can be done other than repeating yourself a few dozen times; which is hardly an efficient use of time.

Maybe you should add that people should not waste your time with other offers? Then they'll know it really upsets you.

Happens to me all the time. I find you have to be really specific and sometimes that doesn't even work, maybe it's just a part of trading?

Love the messages: "What are you looking for?" when it's already listed.

Sometimes the other user really wants what you have and is trying to see if they can get some leeway with you.

All of the joys in trading with others.. sometimes you get users who for whatever reason still offer things you don't want, other times you get someone who reads thoroughly. Comes with trading unfortunately. I just take a deep breath and try to be as friendly as possible

In their defense when I looked at your list nothing came up as bold. It's all the same, so maybe they are a bit confused. Or they see your wish list and think that is what you want, so they try to offer it.

Just grin and bear it or don't trade with them.
