True, but at least the ones people are taking are only off by a couple dollars. Why is she going so low on my necklace? Do I look that dumb?!

i'm offering a $70 matching set for $72-74 bags and for $60 glasses. I think THAT"S a fair trade.

Don't get offended by low-balling trades. Some of us are on our last few hours, last night I was so desperate to get rid of my earrings I sent out trades for half of the items on entire website with my two lowest items. Did you see Leilani's post on how she got a jelly satchel for those leaf bangles? Sometimes crazy trades go through!

But I can't blame people for trying.

I send out tons of ridiculous offers myself. But I try not to send the same ones over and over again. Although I know I probably have sometimes because I forget!

I watch the News page a lot and make sure to resend an offer when someone gets an item I wanted, even if everyone had cancelled earlier, because when an item is traded and the last person passed on it, the next person doesn't get that trade offer.

If you didn't cancel it they do. That's why it sits on your page evne if it says 3 of 3 passed, when a new person gets the item, they will see the offer.

 
it's best to not cancel your offers - just a tip. because the first person who offers something is the first one up on the trade page (the first offer you see). so even if everyone passed, if they pass the item to someone new, or if someone opens a new bag with it yours may be the first thing they see and they're more likely to choose it (especially if someone else put out the same offer)

 
Like I said, I don't mind lowballing since I do it too. But I do mind when she keeps coming back with one lowball after another for my one item I have to play with!

I think they do get the offer. When I did the stupid offer for the watch, I saw at first that it said 0 of 7 passed and then it said 0 of 8 right when someone opened a bag with it. I bet it offers it to new people who trade for it too.

Ohhh! I never thought about it like that. I always cancelled my offers after I had seen that everyone had passed. Good to know for my next bag :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Goshhh... I want a new bag already. I'm so envious of all of your great bags.

Do you think it's better to open a bag before May 1st and get a jump start on trading before everyone opens their bags, or just wait till the 1st?

really?! I seriously thought that when one that person closed it off it wouldn't go onto the next person! Even so, if you don't make crazy offers you won't get crazy trades. I've seen trades of $30-ish makeup kits for $12 earrings. I myself traded my $12 haskell earrings for an iphone case, and I got $40 earbud covers for something in the $20 range before. Just laugh it off and pass on the trade. Someone seriously offered me a $30 bib necklace for my $68 R&Em purse, it's kind of funny imo :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
haha Rilee, not like you need anymore tips! i thought you already knew that because you're so good at trading!!

seriously no one wants my matching set. it'd be a super cute set for myself if that necklace wansn't so freaking long. I looked online and it looks liek it'd be impossible to take out any links...though the lobster hook may be able to fit into them to make it shorter...

it's so 20s that i almost have to have this set...but i want the necklace to be shorter!!

 
Also I might be one of the few that thinks like this, but just because an item says it's $75 doesn't mean it's worth that much to the rest of the LBB community. A cute and rare (one person has it in their bag) $25 necklace would be more likely to get crazy trades than a $40 necklace.

For instance, THAT LEAF HINGE BRACELET!!! Whoever has that will not give it up, apparently they've even passed up $60 trades or something like that. INSANE! It's so cuuuute.

Do you mean everyone is passing on it? Because I bet a lot haven't gotten online and seen your offers, so just wait a little while longer and see.

 
i have nothing against crazy trades, i'm just super bitter because it always seems like someone gets their trade accepted when I had put out the same offer haha. this bag has just mad me really sad lol so don't mind me today

I definitely get that, like when the filigree circle earrings got that Cargo duo set the day I let them go for some stupid $14 earrings. I was so distraught! D:

I'm making pecan bars and trading and posting here, it's an exciting day compared to yesterday hahahaha :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
eugenia, what have you been offering for the cargo set? one of the girls is online right now and since I took away my $59 offer (since I traded up one of them items) I'm not sure if I want to trade $65 since that's my lowest combo now haha

 
nobody will take any of my 2 item offers for the betsey johnson blue stoned earrings! Im so frustrated. I want them so badly!

Right now the Robert Rose Bone Bracelet (this is the only thing in my bag I ABSOLUTELY do not want!) combined with an $18 item (I have 3 pairs of earrings). Then I am also combining the Cargo Blush Stick with $18 items too.. Someone take it!! haha

this is how i'm feeling right now haha. i thought I liked school! ugh


Yeah it set in the worst in my second semester, and I honestly should've just quit. My master's was NOT worth the tears, stress, and self hatred it put me through. My job doesn't require a graduate degree right now, but I know I'll be happy to have it later on, but I feel like I wasted 2 years of my early twenties. I'm just glad it's over now.

Im feeling like that now. I went directly from undergraduate, so by this last semester I was just beat. I have been ready to graduate for 6 months now and am over it. The worst part is my professors are assholes and treat me like garbage. Jenna's got it right. Having to give up doing things that I love, never having a social life, the stress, the TEARS. I just feel defeated. Two more weeks and I can leave. But I have the weight of this experience on me because of the amount of loans I had to take out to afford this damn school. Worst decision ever.

I have an apple air that I think the ipad cases would fit. But I find the ipad cases trade pretty well.
