squints in confusion

I just offered this person three cards from their wishlist for the last ER need from Funny Fruits

two rares and a very rare

they countered to ask for one ER that they already have

and I just don't understand this.

like, I guess they probably just really want to trade ER for ER? but I can't imagine turning down three cards you have actively wishlisted in favor of one you already have, just for the sake of tier matching

also it's an OOP card with <300 copies. so I'm side-eyeing a lil.

an OOP card with 277 copies for one that's currently unlimited is a much more lopsided trade than the one I proposed.

oh. I See.

Wild

puts my foot down very gently

I've had people just remove cards I'm offering when I do like... an oop ER plus a handful of commons (or commons and rares if its one of the last few I need) for an oop ER that has much much fewer prints so the trade is just ER for ER and it blows my mind every time

Let me? Sweeten the deal for you a lil??

Or give some extras as a thank you??

YEAH THAT'S ALWAYS SO WILD

I countered with my original offer plus two more rares from their wishlist, hopefully that's good enough

but if they insist on the same ER then I think we will simply not end up making a trade

because I am simply not going to trade my OOP 277-copy ER for a card that is currently in print and unlimited. I will just find somebody else to trade with instead.

OKAY COOL THEY ACCEPTED MY SWEETENED OFFER

Ohhhh they wanted the much rarer card??? I thought they were the one offering you the much rarer card

And I was like wow you are really going out of your way to be generous

Lol they were just trying it on then

lol yeah
