[hannika]

Make it happen, ab.

I'll give you 3 x +1 cha tomes for your +2 Con. That's the equivalant of +3 for +2. Can't beat that.

[Drider]

I have a +2 cha tome Gunga. And I'd be willing to trade it to Abi for her Str tome, so that she can trade you. lol

Dees!

[Drider]

Dees!

Knutz!

I'm trying to trade tomes here not babysit gimped toons. Oh Dang. Double Burn.

This trade has been made, I no longer have the tome.

I'd like to post my feelings here about how this trade went down, with hopes that it might help some other people have a positive experience when trading on this forum .

If you read the posts above, some of you may feel that hannika and I had a done deal. I don't feel that way. I do a lot of negotiating in my business, and a deal exists when two parties agree to material terms. This post was clear...your cha tome for my con or int tome. If you come to my table wanting my con tome without a cha tome, there is no deal.

On Friday afternoon, I put this post up, got a quick response from hannika saying she could maybe trade her tome to some guy for his cha tome. I told her to make it happen, truly hoping that she could, but not expecting anything from it. Then I left for the weekend. Then Drider posted that he would trade with her, and she said ok, and then he told me not to screw her, and I didn't respond. You know why I didn't respond? I left for the weekend. I never made a commitment to Drider, ab, or anyone else in this post. To me, a commitment would have sounded something like "This trade has been made. I am trading my tome to ab for her tome when she gets it from Drider". I never said that. No deal.

What hapened to the tome? As soon as I logged into DDO Friday night, I mentioned in guild chat that I had a tome up on the forum. A guildie said he had a cha tome and needed the con tome, and, since I was not commited to anyone, I made the trade. Done deal in 1 min. Nice.

I find out later that night that ab is ready to make the trade, and we try communicating via tells while I'm cleric'ing in the shroud. Apparently, I wasn't responding quickly enough so she logged before I could elequently break the news that I traded the tome to someone who had a con tome in hand.

The next day, when I logged in, I began getting some flack from my guildies about the trade, and that ab was upset. She was talking to friends of hers that were in my guild, and my guildies felt that she was right and I should have made the trade with her. I joined a shroud that she was in and she became very vocal about how she felt about what went down. I certainly didn't mean any disrespect to ab, and didn't wish to create stress in anyone's life, especially mine, so I offered ab a +2 int tome for the trouble that she went through. This made ab happy, and she took back all the negative things she told people about me. Great. I just traded a +2 Con tome and a +2 Int tome for a +2 Cha tome...not exactly what the trade I was looking for.

If you're making a trade here on the forums, be very, very clear about the terms of the trade. Don't expect someone to commit an item they're posting to you if you don't have what they are looking for. Don't make side trades to acquire the item that the Poster is looking for if they haven't commited their item to you. And definately, don't ever take any wooden nickels.

It was you! Fueling the fire and skipping town!

No tome required...all is good in the world.

heh. i just wanted to say gunga i wasn't mad at you, i was really just giving you sh*t. and then continued to give you more when you said you made the trade becuase you didn't think i'd pull thru, when i had a tome in my posession about twenty minutes after those posts :P no faith, which was prettymuch all i said to my guild. our guilds have a deep history but prettymuch only with your guilds founders. drecko being one of them, i assumed you'd know i'd be good for it but oh well.
