    It is with sadness and not anger that I apply fingers to keyboard. In the past week I've received 3 unsolicited trade offers so staggering in their lack of balance that I'm left nearly speechless.

    As an example, I was offered a can of Heady Topper for a Coffee BCBS. To be fair he mentioned having 2 Zombie Dusts too. Those 3 beers are much less than half the value of what I typically toss in as EXTRAs.

    If this is the new normal I'm done.

    Turd - It's not the way it used to be , Trying to "win" trades in the new thing ..
    I'm sticking with my core group of previous traders and not venturing into those waters anymore ..

    Just going to say, I didn't much care for either, but that is pretty shitty. It was probably a re-trade HT, too.

    I had someone offer a Westy for my Partridge and he said that it was a fair trade.

    Agree to said trade and send an envelope with a small, slighty open ziploc full of baking soda with note readying "love always, Abdul" inside.

    Eh, sometimes people don't really know trade values and other times people are new and ignorant; it's not always some dude trying to get one over on you. Anyway, it's pretty easy to say "no thanks" and leave it at that.

    Heady Topper is the new M. It can get you whatever you want.

    Seriously though, people need to stop trading single bottles or cans if they come in four or six packs. That is some shit.

    Offers like that are helpful, it tells you who never to trade with and who to ignore on this site.
