Yeah after I said I realized I was watching someone else. That's still not bad. How many days before you close? You've got some nice items to play with and might be able to get your bag back and then some...if you have time!

I have until sunday afternoon. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I now officially want NOTHING that is in my bag.

 
I had a ton of offers through the night/morning, just nothing I wanted to accept. A girl I made a very decent, and able to be traded up, two item offer to, passed, and then countered for my bag with something cheap. pffffttttttttth!!! loool. I find that no one gives up their bags easily for just jewelry. If it's jewelry it has to be well over the retail price of the bag. I think I was freakishly lucky the time I got the hot pink jelly for my $26 Zad leaves bracelet. 

 
I got exactly 1 offer last night. I'm going out of town this afternoon so won't really be trading much and I'd say my bag is pretty okay. I'd love to trade my xela candle for something fun because I already have 2 coming to me, but we will see. yesterday I got really lucky, so maybe today I will too!

That was back when they were new and everyone was getting one with their glasses. Now, not so much luck. lol.

 
i wish there was a way to lock items. So there would be no way to trade it! Whenever I get a new item and my keeps move position I freak out that I accidentally traded them while I mindlessly attempt trades.

 
I know someone asked a few pages back whether or not we could use multiple credits in one bag. I was curious too since I have a few friends who have used my referral code so I decided to ask on their facebook. This was their reply:

"Rilee....first of all, THANK YOU for inviting your friends!! We love it when our members spread the word about LBB. Secondly, we do only allow one referral credit per bag and your friends do need to ship their bag before you get your credit."

Thought I would share for anyone else wondering! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love my blush in Prague too and it seems to be very close to Tonga in color! 

 
So, I had an idea last night that I thought might be able to help out all of us

Since we all are frequent traders and many of us are on our 2nd or 3rd (or 4th of 5th) bags by now, we have pretty much learned what trades well and what "devil items" we need to stay away from if we have any hopes of moving the price of our bag up. (Or at least I have by now!) Instead of some of us finding out the hard way about certain items, why don't we make a list of items to avoid if at all possible (unless, of course, you really love the item). I am pretty much talking about items that are just really, really difficult to trade up.

For me, the items I find absolutely impossible to trade up (and even sometimes a few dollars down) are:

  • The 'ZAD Bib Necklaces
  • The Carol Dauplaise Shell Stretch Bracelet
  • The Robert Rose set of 5 Bangles (aka "devil bangles")

Obviously how well an item does will change as there becomes more/less of them, but I thought this be nice for everyone to know! Feel free to add on/remove from the list whenever you want. Happy trading ladies :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Calimel, I love everything in your bag right now. I think you're doing great with the trading!

Thank you!
I got a crazy offer on my Madden clutch, and I should've traded better, but I ended up trading back two lower end items to get my clutch back! lol.

Now I'm just trying to get rid of that square bangle! It's cute but it's not my style AT ALL.

Here's the photo of the leaf bangles.

ETA - My list of "Devil items". The square floral bangle. The feather earrings. The Coral Bracelet.

 
Rilee- Great Idea!!! I'd add the Present Time Chalkboard frame. They seem to be everywhere.

CaliMel- What coral bracelet are you talking about?

I have to say I actually had zero to no issue with the devil bangles trading since Stephanie put her picture of them on Facebook! LOL. I guess people finally realized that the photo of them on LBB sucks and that they are cute. But, here's my disclaimer, I was always willing to trade for an iPhone case or a couple dollars down, so maybe that's why. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />) I also had no issues with the shell bracelet as long as I traded in the same range or a dollar or so down. I've had that shell bracelet numerous times. lol. I figured if I got stuck with it I'd either A.) trade down for something fabulous, but cheap, (woven thread earrings in blue or a bright colored bangle), or B.) keep it and wear it around the beach this summer, with my bikini and cover up wrap, and walk around like a well accessorized mermaid. HAHAHAHAHA.

 
The square floral bangle? I'm surprised, I thought that would get some offers, at least even exchange offers.

Oh shoot, i called it the wrong thing. It's that stretch shell bracelet! For some reason in my head I keep calling it coral even though it doesn't even look close to anything coral or coral colored! lol.

See this is what I said before, I think that chalkboard frame would do well if there were only a couple of them out there, but LBB gives them to everyone who opens a bag. That's so stupid, who do you trade with when so many have the same stuff? They should randomly give stuff out, instead of everyone getting the same bracelet, or earrings, or whatever.

 
Trading is REALLY slow right now. I'm hoping it picks up tonight and through the weekend with people wanting to close their bags to be ready for Monday and Tuesday. I'll be keeping mine open the entire 7 days. :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My bag closes on Tuesday.
