I've been thinking about it, and you know what the difference between our trading styles is? You get your top items, I get my second and third tier items. I rarely get what I really wanted in my bags, because they are hard to get other people to give them up! So one of these times I gotta do it your way and instead of getting a big blowout of items, get 3 - 4 I will just adore and use all the time.
lol, you are not capable of only 3 items. hahaha! I'm not even capable of only 3 items, I turn into a sad panda. I range anywhere from 4 to 8 items in my closing bags, but yes, I've never had an epic (9 items +) sized haul. I keep vowing to not get attached to stuff, but fail.
I wish they would let you know which combos you offered somewhere too. It is difficult to keep track of everything in your bag when you have six or more items. I just stick to making trades with whatever is the hardest to get rid of in my bag, then once that's out, I move on to the next hardest thing, etc and check my offfers often. I hate it when I miss a good offer, but hate it more that every time I check it's just lowballs! lol That's the way the game is played, but it would be nice to see a decent trade once in awhile!
I wish we could see that too. Sometimes I wonder what exactly I offered. If what I see is really a 2for or if it's just a 1 for 1 trade. I make a lot of offers lol
I got a bag a couple back where the lining had a huge rip in it at the seems. It was pretty bad. Sorry that happened to you too.

I'd much rather have 3 items that I love and that will get a lot of use then 6 items that I just kinda like and will sit in my jewelry box or closet unused. That was just my first experience (and definitely not my last ;p) with LBB so i'm sure i'll get better at trading to where I can manage to get 4 or 5 items I love but I think that may take some time.Originally Posted by seap3 /img/forum/go_quote.gif
You trade like I do.
I got the lydell necklace and gave it to my mom for a gift. It's really pretty in person - I love the colors. I also had the silver leaf earrings and was surprised how nice they were. The weight and quality was a lot better than i expected.
I feel you I rather have stuff I actually love and know that I will use and wear instead of getting a bunch of things I probably wont wear. But if people can get 6 items or more of amazing items they love then great! That requires some skills
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm on my third LBB and still have never gotten all the items I've wanted in my bag or even at least 6 items. It does take a lot of time and work into it. But I love trading, it does get addicting knowing that you can get a lot of the items you like.
I'd rather have 9 things I like A LOT! And I just got Christmas gifts for all three of my sisters for only $50! WOOHOO!Originally Posted by denise89 /img/forum/go_quote.gif

As long as my bag has all loves I'm happy. I would hate to get stuck with something I didn't like even if I had 9 items. Returns are such hassles and I just tend not to do them. So then it's like I have this item just laying around. I've already given one clutch to our local thrift store being of it lol
Actually I do love everything coming in my bag. I had more stuff but traded a ton of it down to what I really wanted.
I've had big bags as well. In fact the one coming today has 9 i think, one is a redken item tho, but I'm still interested to try it. I do love everything, but had to trade stuff down as well. It has 9 items, started with 4 with a exchange credit, and my bag was only a bit over 200. It's one of the bags on the first post. Sure you can't miss it lol. But I like to be a bit real in realizing I can't do it every time, especially if I really love something in the beginning and don't want to give it up. As I would rather have it then not get it back but have 2-3 items I still love in it's place.
I would like it if they had some men's items. It would definitely soften the blow when I tell my bf I opened yet ANOTHER bag
Actually...one of the items in my bag is for my son. He asked if they had sunglasses for men. I said no, but some might be unisex. Since I had gotten a trade offer for the Steve Madden aviators, I took it! I can't wear sunglasses since most of the time I already wear regular glasses. My contacts are itchy and annoy me since I have a scar under one of my eyelids. (Had a stye years ago that didn't heal right.) BUT...I had to give up my Betsey Roses to get them, so he owes me big time! lol
I didn't even think of it that way, but you're right! My husband loves getting gifts, so if I said I opened a bag because I was thinking of him, the love of my life...lmao! Then he'd get all mushy about it instead of, "Sheesh! We have bills to pay!"Originally Posted by lushtoblush /img/forum/go_quote.gif
