Little Black Bag

[HelloLeilani]

No new handbags in the gallery yet to pick from. Wonder if they are going to update more in a few hours? I've been so boring this time around as I got a bag full of things I really liked within the first two days. 

 I got too scared of trading this stuff, even the low price item, and not getting it back.

Yeah that gets old fast! If you have 12 things, 3 of which are really nice bags and clutches, don't offer me 30 dollars for the nicest thing I have. 

That said I was able to get my hands on the blu-ray blush by trading the blu-ray bronzer. Happy with everything other than the bangle in my bag...I want some earrings or those gosh darn coffee cups for it.

Oh yeah, me too. But I also see it works for them, which means I will do it next time and really annoy the hell out of everyone. (I was already lowballing slightly at first, but gettting worse and worse...like them.)

You shouldn't have traded away the item you got for the trade. They would have taken that out and given you the others back. Now you should just tell them you were out $25 with that trade and look through the gallery and pick 2-3 items you prefer and tell them put any one of them in your bag instead. Also tell them no frigging iphone case! Tell them you don't have one, even if you do! lol

Bah I know, I just really don't think they'll even respond back to me...that's why I traded it away. And I really don't have an iphone haha so I do hate those items even though they're cute.

Yeah I really dont' think they'll respond back to me...which probably makes this my last bag with them

I wish there were a way to "lock" an item in your bag if you know you won't trade it. I'm tired of getting nail polish and $25 bangle offers for my mini ribbon watch

I wish there was some setting so that you didn't even have to look at certain offers, it just gives them an automatic pass. Like a checkbox for "I do not wish to view any trades less than 50% value on any of my items.". and "I do not wish to view any trades less than 75% value on any of my items" etc.

Yeah, I'm pretty upset about them not responding to my last email...sucks for them. I could have easily done two bags a month and cut out my other shopping, but now I won't.

Let's say they do think I made a mistake in trading my bag away for a cheap frame, even so, there should also be a warning before you do anything like that. "Warning: You are about to make an uneven trade. Please review. If you still wish to continue press "continue"." I know they could program their computer to watch for trades that might lose 25% or more of value and have the warning. The only problem I see is that lots of the newbies do this, they trade for what they want without looking at value, and that's how we get some of our best stuff and best trades. If they start really thinking about what they are doing, this won't happen anymore and it will make it a lot harder for us! LOL

Well it warns when you are making a high trade up, so what difference would down make? Either way, I think I'm over it.

I'm not by my Big Buddha glasses, I have my Betsey ones with me. lol. BUT, I will whenever I get by them again, though it probably won't be helpful to you at that point. LOL. They are pretty large, but I like how they look on me. 

 

[Playedinloops]

Blahh does anyone want this orange bangle? I'm willing to trade down for the right item...but darn it I want those coffee cups and I've offered everything I have for them lol.

I have a question. When you go to accept a two item trade does it indicate in the little pop-up confirmation box that there are two items, or does it just show one. I was able to trade up my $45 earrings for some $50 earrings that have a decent two item trade on them, but when I go to accept it shows that I'm only accepting for one item? No indication of there being a second. For some reason I thought it showed both. I don't want to make a mistake and accept for just one item.

Never mind, I figured it out.

Thank you Eugenia (I think your on MUT). The trade worked out perfectly!!!
