Why Do people bid junk

Mon Jan 31, 2005 4:13 am

I have a Skunk Paint Brush in my trades I ask for 200K of a faellie and some one bids thisBranston Battlecard, Little Timmy Battlecard, Clockwork Icy Skeleton, 600 Neopoints.
What do you think I should do reject or let it rot?
Do people think I would accept that?
:evil:

I know how you feel. I had a pile of expensive books in trades and I was getting race to riches scratchcards, 500np and battle cards LOL. Maybe people think we will accidently accept.

Lol. That happens to me all the time.

I always keep some jellies up incase I need a trade, so I don't have to make one later. Lately, people have been bidding other jellies and plushies on them. O.o

Some times people bid random junk well you get a good offer and make you accidently accept the bad offer.
Like the one person could offer 200k and a Pile of dung.
And the same person could offer 200 and a pile of dung.
Trying to make you accept the worse offer.
In this case, they offer 600 nps and the battle cards thinking you might pick them instead of a random different persons offer.
Get it?

I do despise the people that say that they will accept the first bid, but then ask why you bother to bid junk. First is first, whether its dung or not.

Some people do not think your smart enough to know the differnt. I hate people who put in trades, do not bid, or not sell just showing off, that I hate.

Sometimes people put stuff in trades to make sure their stuff doesnt get stolen. I know there are SDBs but if you have one with lots of stuff its hard to find things!

I always let em rot. Some people are stupid I guess, and can't read.

There is that nifty search option.

The trading post doesn't need to be cluttered up. It's not a place to keep items. It's used as a place to boast about the items you have. After all, no one can see in your SDB, eh?

Then put it in the shops, it has no right to be in a TRADING post if they are not willing to trade with it.

Some people also bid junk because they are a few nps over from the soup kitchen limit.
And they don't wanna spend.
The soup faerie doesn't know how much is in trades.

I thought they dealt with people displaying items on trades a while back, by putting a time limit on trades. Is that gone, or did it never really work?

It was just a fifteen minute time limit, if I understand what your talking about.

It's because they are hoping you'll be so eager to reject, you'll hit accept instead.

Yep, it's a 2 week limit. After that the trade is automatically canceled. It doesn't matter though, people who use the TP as a gallery just put their items right back up after the 2 weeks is over. >.<

Most - In vain hope you'll either think it's rare stuff and accept / click the wrong button

Some - Attention seeking New Member
