    Gmoney's First SCF Rant

    Don't get me wrong... I love SCF, its members, and its staff. But there is something that is killing me!! About 2 or 3 times when I have been in trade talks, I always ask about a lot of cards I like, so that the other person has the option of choosing which ones they want to trade. However, after I give them my list, they tell me that they only have 1 left, which is usually the lowest value of all the ones I inquired about. I don't mind it, and nicely recommend that they update their bucket. But then, a few days later, I see that they traded those exact same cards I asked about, which were said to be gone. If they had told me that they didn't want to trade those cards for what I offered, I wouldn't have cared. But them turning around and trading the cards after they were already "gone" just makes me angry... (to put it in VERY nice terms) Well that's all I have... I gotta say that felt good! Comments?

    Side note: I would also love to see people update their buckets after a card is gone. Some already do this, while most others don't. They are perezoso. (Look up what it means)

    It will happen. It's happened to me plenty of times and generally if I don't like it, I don't trade with them. But I am perezoso myself, just ask about any cards on my bucket lol

    maybe sometimes they are on hold/in trade talks, but they just say gone because it's easier?

    possibly, but if i have something in talks that are almost done, i'd say its pending, or held. if i list alot of things i like, i get the thing from someone where they want to trade there worst card for my best card.

    some people just arent the best traders, but you will go through stuff like this from time to time

    Gmoney,
    IF you got thru this then just don't worry about trying to work trades with them in the future. As if this has only happened a few times then just avoid the problems for repeating.

    Now on photobuckets I will not send people to my photobucket as I use it for a lot more than just my cards. As I put product releases, show information, and other stuff as well. Of course unlike what your saying I do not send people to my bucket as I ask what they collect so I can tell them what I have to avoid this problem.

    Perhaps you should ask from now on if their list is CURRENT. Then if they say it and this still happens you can say sorry don't' want to deal with you again as they are wasting your time. Bottom line is you should not let this frustrate you as this is suppose to be a FUN HOBBY!
