i've only been offered those with things that are around 28-30...they're really rare now sadly :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> and i think the people who have them realize that...

 
ahhh missy is lucky, that's actually the clutch I THOUGHT i was getting in my bag (the $60 nila item). And I actually like that one...instead I got stuck with the one I don't like at all...

 
I opened my bag yesterday knowing that trading was slow, I just really wanted the watch. Im just planning on tuesday and hoping that with all the new stuff i'll be able to get rid of my other 2 items.

 
yeah i ended up giving all 3 of my favorite items away haha since i thought i was gonna cancel...so now i'm not sure what my game plan is

I'm hoping Monday and Tuesday will be much better days too. Trading will definitely pick up, but I don't know if I will have any luck or know what the hell I'm doing! lol

yeah, I should cancel with how much I'm complaining and stressing over these silly earrings, but my bag is almost perfectly customized for me. I might trade the earrings for that cheap disk bracelet or the photo frames but nobody has even tried to offer me anything, which is the weirdest part.

Looks like you got a decent trade after all!

 
Hi everyone! I found this thread because I was googling for a better picture of the Nila Anthony Doctor Bag and up popped this! I joined LBB last week, shipped my bag last night and now have a new one that I will probably ship by end of day if I can get completely satisfied with it so I can get another one and use the code that expires on the 30th. I'm still pretty new at this and haven't really traded much because I really liked what was in my first bag to begin with, does anyone have any advice on how to get the most bang for your buck?

The first day I think I stayed online for 15 hours straight hitting refresh and monitoring the feed while watching my dvr lol. I'm not that bad now but I still can't go longer than 45 minutes without checking my bag for new offers =x

Anyway super happy I found this forum, what is everyone trading for right now? I am dying to get a jelly or that ruffled messenger Nila Anthony in royal blue.

Did you find that 3 item trade as tempting as I did? I think I could work those items, but I'm so afraid I won't get the watch back, and I want that so bad!

Welcome Elle! There is a great post with trading tips, but I can't remember what page it's on. Hopefully someone else will remember and get that for you. The only thing I've noticed is that people will trade down for the weirdest things, so I guess having patience is the best tip. Unfortunately none of us have that and end up making bad trades...well except for Leilani, she's the Queen of Trading, I think. LOL

 
yeah i used to have tips that work but not anymore haha. nothing is working for me right now. i think it's a bad time of the month to be trading (right before the new items come out). if i make zero trades by the time tomorrow morning rolls around i'm gonna cancel.

it's good to set limits for myself haha

 
i will honestly say the only time i've ever had good trades was when someone new started a bag and wasn't sure how to trade yet. that's sad but kind of true...that's how i went up from my nila bag to the earrings to a better bag. the girl had just started her new bag

Haha, I stared at it for a few seconds and passed. I love the watch too much to accept a multiple item trade. If something amazing comes out tuesday though i'm prepared to let it go then.

I agree, but I want more items to play with and trade around, but I just don't dare give up that watch.

 
i think i may trade down to trade back up...i'm debating taking the cargo set and trading down $19...especially because that alone is worth $25 to me and then I wouldn't feel so terrible about my bag...plus last time I had it i got awesome trades. right now i'd only be willing to pay $50 for my bag, but if I had the cargo set it'd be like...$60 haha 

i'm not i'm dumb to calculate it that way. but it's honestly about the value to ME that counts

 
Just keep trying with your trades! I was having a really slow trade day yesterday, so last night before bed I accepted a two item trade for my bag, which included that $60 bracelet that was okay but I didn't really want to keep, and earrings that I like.

I sent out a million offers with it, and then I woke up and the one I wanted went through! I traded the bracelet for the Inca Clutch, so I'm super stoked.

My bag was kinda meh and now it's back on track, but I only have about 1 day of trading left.
The only item I want to trade are those weird beaded rasta looking Zag earrings that everyone has, the $14 ones.

They're cute though, and I'll definitely wear them if I end up having to get them in my bag!

 
I think that's a good way to look at it. I'd rather have less items that I love than $200+ worth of stuff I won't use.

The post with the trading tips is on page 42!

I would also agree and with Stephanie and say that great way to move up is to offer trades with people just opening a bag. They usually are the ones most likely to trade down for things.

the problem is that NO one wants my blush unless they like makeup. so the only way i'm going to get rid of it is to offer it to someone else who has makeup...and since the only thing I want is the cargo set and the cheapest combo I have is $58 I have to go with that :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> plus if i really screw myself over it's okay because i'm already planning on canceling tomorrow morning if things don't get better. But like Donna said, i'd much rather have things I like than a bunch of stuff with a high value. especially because I got SOOO much in my last bag I dont' feel bad getting kinda screwed over in this one...as long as I get what I want.

 
lindsay how are the trades for that wallet? i got like zero for mine haha. i haven't had a single offer since I got it

 
ahh eugenia, that offer is so tempting!! but i had SUCH bad luck with those haskell earrings...no one wanted them :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ugh i'm conflicted. but I also actually like those earrings haha so I wouldn't mind having them....
