Question about Pinpics trades |
Lead | ||
|
Okay, we established in chat that I am a major slacker since I don't have anything in my pinpics account. I finally started to add my pins! For the past
three days I have gotten a trade request from the same person. Each time I have nicely replied that I wasn't interested in trading. He wants my DLR POTC
Surprise Wait Sign in trade for one of his Princess Hidden Mickey pins. While I have the hidden mickey pins in my wants, we will probably be able to find them
on our next trip and I'm not willing to trade this particular pin for a hm. Since I'm not experienced with the trade requests, is this normal? Should
I turn off the trade assistant? In a nutshell, am I doing something wrong and how does this all work?

you dont need to trade a pin for one that you dont want, send a polite reply turning his trade down. and wait for one that you want to trade for :)

Exactly what charl said, just tell him that you're not interested in trading that pin. Is it on your trade list or your owns list? Either way he should
just take NO for an answer!

3 days running.. my goodness. I try not to send out TA on the same pins more than once. (Thus I rarely send TA's ;) ) Every day for 3 days is pushy.
Tell them to quit sharking you LOL This would be why on the other thread about improvements that could be made, I suggested being able to block certain user. |

I thought three days was a bit much, but I have no previous experience with it.
So, my hm ISOs are ones that I really expect to find on my next trip. I put them out there as a reminder to myself, but is that not a good idea? Should I just remove them? |

Don't let him intimidate you! That is the reason why you have a wants,trade, and owns list so YOU know but if that pin isn't on your trades list he
needs to bug off!

No, no, no! You guys, listen to an old trader. Sometimes you have no idea who you are sending a TA to. It just works that way. I have to confess as well, that
I would only send one response for a NO. After that, I would just assume he is checking all his squares and it is an automatic deal. Do not get offended or
take it personally if the email is the automated PP email. I would only be upset if he went out of his way to email you directly and harass you about a pin
trade.
As far as the HM pins, I would definitely remove them from your wants list unless you want to be bombarded. Only put serious wants that you want NOW on your wants list, or else you will have to analyze a bunch of requests that you may not be interested in. |

If I notice multiple requests from the same person day after day I reply the first time, then just start deleting the e-mails.

Just thought I'd throw this one out to all you who have much more experience than me at pin trading (although I'm getting better!!)
Today I get (from pinpics) a request for a trade. Never done this before so dont know how good/bad this is and would welcome all advice and suggestions anyway :o) Big issue is this - The person who emailed me wanted one of our LE pins (and a darn nice one too) for a regular Stitch pin. As much as love Stitch, it's not a "WOW!!" pin or on my wants list - so I politely declined the offer. I thought it was a sort of "like for like" thing unless you were happy to do other wise? Like 2 normal for an LE or if it's a hard to get regular pin (like a japanese one) or something? |

That is nuts! The even crazier thing is that it wasn't on your wants list! Weird. |

Remember- a trade is great as long as both parties are satisfied. I have traded many LE pins for rack pins and vice versa, lanyards for LE's, etc.

I receive and send numerous pin pics requests and it is as Rhonda states. You just check boxes and it goes out. You do not know who is going to get it because
you do not do that much research into it you just click boxes. I get trade requests for great pins for not so great ones every day. I just do not accept those.
There are many that say that you should respond to every request. I am not one of those. Every once in a while I will accept a trade request from someone. Out
of every ten I accept I will actually trade only about 2 or 3 as it is still the person's choice and since I only accept trades that are fair others
probably accept the same ones. Karie you got the same request 3 days because noone will trade that person that pin. I get trade requests for that pin EVERY
DAY. It is very popular. Keep it until you are offered something you REALLY want!
