I decided to just try a bunch of trades for things that I like since I only have 2 days left...2/3 of the hobo bags rejected my offers even though they were +$10-15 above...how much do you guys usually trade for bags? around $20 more?

What are you offering for the hobo with mesh pockets?

Just wanted to let you know those rose studs are pretty big in case this info makes you want to keep/trade them! I did some research on them yesterday and they are almost an inch in diameter. Also, the post is at the top of the earring and not in the middle. They are really pretty though.

ARGH! I wish I had known that! I would have traded for them. I love the idea of those being so large.

Yeah the trade I took was for $86-87, if I remember correctly. I know it was above the value, but not by much, and it was crap items. But since it was early in trading, second day, I was able to trade those crap items up. So that might be a strategy to try next time. After that I was offered a few two and three item trades for stuff I had, but way lower in value, so I passed, and I think I should have taken them and traded up again as best as I could.

I have an offer for them but its on the cargo palette I want. hahaha. I offered a 38 dollar necklace and no go! I have offers for the piggy earrings and another pair of betsey earrings but they are on a 60 dollar item. booo.

 

[javagirl87]

i took the trade since soooo many of the new bags are getting the rose studs...might as well try and trade up the two items or offer 4 items for the bag

 

[javagirl87]

okay guys i'm going for it...4 items at $93 they better not reject that!!

GOOD LUCK!!

 

[javagirl87]

haha thanks!! My goal is to have either that bag or the black betsey sunglasses in the end + the $40 betsey bow earrings!!

I have enough to get them while trading down...so i'm hoping someone takes my bids.  I have so many items in my cart (11) that I need to just get a couple of items I REALLY want

How does it work when you cancel your bag? You just email them?

Yep you just e-mail them and they will get back to you later today/tonight. I'm sorry you dont' like your bag!! I had to cancel my last one too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If you are going to cancel can I trade something of mine for your pendant necklace? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'd try to make the value kind of even with whatever I have. I really like that necklace haha

If not tha'ts okay! I dont' think you have that bad of a bag, I think you can still bring it up. Just offer two items for things you really want, usually people will offer you great 2 items for those as well, then you can go back down to more items..but better ones then you had before! that's what I do

I would have gladly taken the trade. I wanted the Betsey house necklace and was trying to trade with that necklace and the blue Betsey earrings. I have a feeling they didn't want to take a chance on the Shameless necklace, but might have for the Gorjana. That house necklace has a little bird that matches the bird earrings, I wanted to get that set for my sister's birthday present. I think now I will give her the bag and keep the two earrings for myself.

I had the house necklace. I couldn't accept the shameless necklace though. Those things are awful. Sending mine back. But I would've accepted the Gorjana though. So, maybe someone will /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

See, that's what I thought it was. Had to take the chance someone would take it though. I wish I had a few extra hours, but I got that necklace during my last half hour! I just didn't have time to make something happen.
