    tons of them....
    at least one of each variety...

    people like to get all ten varieties cuz
    of the secret avatar.... so.....

    i think to myself:
    "hey... i'll slap these babies up on the
    trade bar and see what happens!"

    within 2 seconds i get a few offers.....
    one is for a handfull of scratchcards.

    i dunno if you have ever had to deal with
    scratchcards... but they aren't worth it.
    they are expensive (about $600 if you buy
    from the kiosk)... and you aren't guaranteed
    SHIT when you scratch them off.

    nothing personal... i don't want that kinda
    risk...

    --- let me fast-forward here since i have
    already been dicking around with these
    trades for about an hour... and i've forgotten
    alot of the offers ---

    so then i think... well selling them all
    together is gay... so i'll just put 3
    codestones per trade (making sure to put
    the more popular codestones in with the
    lamer ones)...


    i end up with a total of about 5 trades
    going at one time.

    here come the offers.... but on only ONE
    of my trades... the trade with the MAIN
    codestone..... 3 offers!!!!
    (no wonder its called the main codestone)

    one offer is for $9000np.....
    another is for $10,000np.....

    i dunno if anyone knows this... but codestones
    run for around $4k a piece....

    these are TRADES... not the garage sale....
    why can't people understand that???

    TRADE TO VALUE!!!

    it is my contention that people are assuming
    that the trade bar is there to get good
    deals.

    WRONG!

    the trade bar is there to trade items of
    equal value.... hense the word 'trade'.

    if you want something cheap... either go
    to the garage sale, the auction house, or
    the shop wizard and sit on it.


    *sigh*


    finally i decide i'm going to just put them
    all on a trade (since you can only list
    10 items anyway) and put a message at the
    bottom. here is what it said:

    will trade in whole or in part... i have many more, just ask.
    no lame trades... no scratchcards. thanks! =)
    <font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">within seconds i receive my first offer....


    and its some dude... and he writes:

    I have some pizza slices worth 6000nps each,
    I will give you ten of them for that set....
    <font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">.


    <font size="30">...ISFS...</font>

    well, if they are 6000nps each....why not make the trade, and then turn around and sell those for a profit, and then purchase the items you were hoping to trade for.

    i wasn't going to buy the pizza because as i
    reasoned.... if the pizza was worth $6k....
    he could easily sell it and get his own damn
    codestones.

    so i assumed it wasn't selling... and i wasn't
    going to have any part of it
