Trade adjustment

If you are talking about your DragonTrax for Nooner 10 +, then it is already there - you are looking for a + you didn't specify, so it is OK to just go with an awesome +

It would be uncool to re-post looking for something else entirely, but totally fine to ask for a really good plus

 

I think this trade was offer was for Nooner 10 + Cycle &+.

OP, you should stick with the offer you made and I would suggest making a deal with the first person responding to your ISO that you feel comfortable trading with.

If you change the parameters of a trade after you've made an offer, you will likely end up causing trouble and arousing anger in your fellow BAs if they were to find out about it.

EDIT: i.e. - if someone did this to me, it would piss me off...

 

Oh, hahhaa. right. didn't even know that was a beer!

To be honest, there are no real rules about it - sure, it would be nice to honor your original offer, but until a trade is accepted in the system, you can always just decide to not trade your beer at the moment. Not awesome, but not the worst thing to just change your mind and hang on to the beer!

The most important thing is to be honest and clear in your communication

 

I think in most cases if a trader knows hes is getting a "steal" of a deal with a trade they would be more inclined to throw in some awesome extras. I don't want to say that about everyone but I know if it were me I would make sure that you felt like you got a good deal.

 

I agree with this. I mean, if you were happy with the offer you posted, don't adjust it just it because you think that you can get more beer out of someone.

 

If you made an offer stand by it. When someone PMs you with the trade you want and you don't take it then it could be considered a behind the scenes auction. And no one likes people who conduct those.

Backing out of a trade is a shitty thing to do. This is the opposite of what makes a good trader. And knowing that you are ok with that and even encourage that activity...I think I may add someone to my DNT list...

 

If I understand, there isn't a trade yet - just an FT offer for a whale, followed by a ton of offers. If you read my actual reply (and earlier post), I said it isn't great to change your mind, and would be uncool to simply re-post looking for something else, but it is a far cry from backing out of an agreed to, accepted trade.

Edit - I thought my point was rather clear - it wouldn't be great, but if you decide to just keep the beer before negotiating with anyone, no-one has really lost much more than the 30 seconds it took to send a PM.

 

I'm torn on how I feel about this situation. I wouldn't be surprised in the least bit if one or many of the people who responded did so just because it was a good deal and they figure they can trade and flip your bottle for a higher value. On that end, I feel like you should be able to adjust your ISO. On the other hand, you're technically getting exactly what you asked for and if you didn't receive so many messages, you would have been happy with the result.

It's frowned upon to not accept a trade because you realize you undervalued your bottle but it's just as frowned upon for people see take advantage of a trader who doesn't know the value and jump all over the trade before they can change their mind.

At the end of the day, it's your beer, do what you want with it.

 

I think the critical words are - it's your beer, do what you want with it.

As long as you aren't running an auction, or backing out on someone after you have negotiated and agreed to everything, all you are doing is changing your mind. No-one on here should feel they are morally obligated to honor a mistaken offer to the first person responding - that is just an aggressively cut-throat and bullying attitude.

An honest trader would reply to your ISO and say you have undervalued your beer and offer something that is actually more fair, be it some really good plus, or whatever else to make it a solid trade.

 

This thread is kind of confusing. If you wanted Nooner 10 and &+ and you got an offer for it, why didn't you jump at the first offer? I've heard those beers are awesome and if you were looking for them it sounds like you got them.

Hopefully anyone you trade with, if they think they got a steal, will remember you in the future and can build a long term trade partnership with each other. I'm guessing the dragontraxx was easily come by so why not try and establish a regular trading partner.

 

You can't back out of a trade you haven't negotiated or accepted. There's nothing shady about deciding to keep your beer rather than trade it. IF you believe your offer is seriously off then declining to trade it while educating yourself on what would be a fair & reasonable trade isn't dishonest or slick. Yeah, winning is frowned on, but losing isn't required of good traders. Nor should it be.

 

This is the correct path, cheers for taking it.

As an aside, I recently responded to a posting where the op did exactly what you're asking about, behind closed doors asked for additional beers above what was in the original ISO. Needless to say I was ..........displeased.
