        <![CDATA[ I still get decent offers from time to time but it seems like in the last few weeks I am getting more and more silly offers for trades in email. I have a LOT
of pins to add to my collection and my traders. Trouble is, I am starting to question if it is worth the effort. I keep getting offers of easily obtained cast
pins for hard to find LEs. For every fair trade I get I probably get 5 requests for trade that just don&#39;t make sense.


Am I just going thru a patch of silly offers or are... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Please don&#39;t feel foolish, I would love for someone to respond, even it is just a &quot;No thank you&quot; or &quot;is this trade still available&quot;
<br>
At least those of us who spend the few hours we are able to get on the computer after a long day at work, wouldn&#39;t feel like we wasted our time sending out
those requests.

for weeks. When I find requests that are that old I normally don&#39;t respond...mostly because I feel foolish. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Normally, I try to stay away from the bi-weekly question of why are lopsided requests being offered, but today I feel like replying so here goes.
<br>
<br>
1  - Each person is different.  Some are innocent in their requests - some are not.  The easiest thing to do is to reply &quot;no thanks&quot; or just hit
delete. Don&#39;t agonize on why this trade request was sent - how unfair it is - just no thanks and move on.

2 - Sometimes. when a person attempts to explain why a trade is... ]]></description>

  If everyone just explained themselves, it would make trading more fun and easier for us to learn.
</blockquote>Thing is, some people get so many offers a day that it would take hours for them to explain to everyone why they do not want to trade. I get
around 3-4 a day and sometimes I reply with a polite message saying no but that depends on how busy I am in the day. Sometimes I think its down to experience

a newbie, it&#39;s very discouraging to try to trade and no one seems willing to help. SueD did a GREAT job helping me understand why she couldn&#39;t trade
with me on that pin. If everyone just explained themselves, it would make trading more fun and easier for us to learn. I find a pin on their list that is the
same edition size and... ]]></description>

DH did not know and traded off my LE 200 Donald mystery tin pin for a coffee can.

But them&#39;s the breaks.

However I&#39;ve also made some GREAT trades at PP so can&#39;t complain to much. ]]></description>

thing is they want my 2001 Cast HHG pin or my Beware of Pin Trading Ghosts. Wouldn&#39;t be so bad if they didn&#39;t offer a pin that&#39;s almost even on
trades/wants. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I agree with the general theme: The trade requests always depends on the value that the parties put upon them. Above all - HAVE FUN. <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif">
<br>
<br>
If you are trading on pinpics, there are two Trading Guidelines (their rules that I agreed to when I started using the site) I alway strive to adhere. 1)
Respond to all emails in a timely manner 2) Keep it Polite. ]]></description>

<br>
I personally try to buy some LE500 &amp; 250 pins if I see them reasonably cheap just to use as traders. On the sales boards here, disney online, or -bay,
doesnt matter, if I can get it for under $10, and it&#39;s a lower LE that can be traded, I&#39;ll get it. And if I&#39;m trading it for a harder-to-find open
edition pin that I really wanted, we&#39;re both happy, and that&#39;s the main thing.

everybox and write &quot;I will trade more than one pin&quot; in the comments.  If you could be slightly interested - make a counter-offer.  If you&#39;re just
appalled at the request, delete it.  Why spend time stressing and complaining?  It&#39;s not worth it. ]]></description>

20 D23 Tink.

<br>
But there are some pins that you will not get if you offer face value in a trade. That may be me, but I think it&#39;s completely ridiculous if one adds a note
to a trade request saying &quot;I will trade both pins (in the case I remember current LE 500 releases) to come up with the face value of yours&quot; as if... ]]></description>

for. As thartman said, some people(not mentioning names, of course) will quote what their pin is worth on Ebay(whether or not it actually is giong for that
price), and yet will only &#39;value&#39; your pins at what the retail price is. What&#39;s good for the goose should be good for the gander, no? Or something
like that. *lol*
