Hello everyone. I figured there's something that I wanted to have a civilized discussion (I can dream, right?) with all of you. I usually browse /r/amiiboswap for trades and seeing what kinds of offers people make to other users. Unfortunately, I'd say a solid 75-80% of those are people who I can imagine are intentionally making terrible offers, trying to rip people off. Granted, I understand some people don't actually know values or don't care, and that's fine. Not everyone should. This point is bringing users with increasing flairs who target newer users into the spotlight.

To be honest, I find it extremely distasteful when some of said users post trade deals and know for a fact they are throwing out a terribly unfair offer. I'll be honest, I take offense to that, you shouldn't be throwing out offers of (EX: Splatoon 3 pack and EDIT Pikachu/Mario for GM, Lucina and Marth). At least treat the other person like a human and fairly, not just a means of getting what you want (wishful thinking again). I honestly feel bad when I see people go through with terrible trades because the other person most likely knows he/she got a steal.

Continuing with this, I honestly do comment to let the person know if an offer I see is disgustingly unfair. Do I do it sarcastically and in a way they will both notice? Absolutely and maybe that's frowned upon, fine. I'm very sorry that I don't want to see people being ripped off. On the other hand, both parties obviously have to consent, so both parties are obviously willing if the trade goes through. It's just sad to see some users purposely ripping others off when collecting should be a team effort.

I post this only because I just had another user basically admit to me he puts in bad offers and hope people take them. He obviously knows the trades he's throwing out there, and some people upsettingly accept. He claims me ruining his offer with a simple word is considered thread-crapping (which I don't think should be). I hope this post will at least make the users here and over at /r/amiiboswap realize that we are all equals and maybe we shouldn't rip each other off because we feel entitled or feel we can rip someone, or some company, off (last piece of wishful thinking).
