Thanks Angel! If ya get it let me know and I will give ya the gold. Like I said I am tired.

Ok, the bird is done

Yes...I saw it. *frowns a bit*

No I am not going to attack you. Have you ever seen me attack anyone? I get a lil miffed over the bandwidth thing when people direct link, but I still try to tell them nicely. But let me tell you my opinion on hoarding ok...

If you buy the items the month they are released with money, you are entitled to have as many as you want. But if you are buying rarer items from other people with gold and you know it's something a lot of people want and you're just buying them up to save for later. That kinda sucks. There is no rule against it, but ethically it's really mean. Would you want someone to do that to you? I have duplicates of the headwings, but I bought those, and I have a duplicate of one other item that I accepted in trade for headwings because the girl didn't have enough gold and I was being nice. It's not a popular item, so I slapped it on my mule. If I ever see someone who wants it really bad and can't get it, I will probably either give it to them or sell it for a very fair price. But you saw what happened earlier for me. I was trying to get something I didn't have, someone was wearing the item and bought another one before I even had a chance to offer on it. Then turned right around and put it up for sale for no other reason than to make a huge profit. So in the end it cost me a lot more than it should have.

I have seen this happen to a lot of people. I have told you about karma. Someday something will come along and you will want one and no one will be nice and help you get it or sell it to you at a fair price if you are keeping them from getting things they want fairly.

So I am not yelling at you, I am not even telling you to not buy extras. I am asking you to give others a chance, and to think about how you would want to be treated if you were on the opposite end of the spectrum. It's about mutual respect hon. I have seen you buy multiples of things at a time, and not give someone else a chance who really wanted that item because they didn't have one. This is why I am not good at being in the exchange. I am not here to make a long term profit, that isn't important to me. I just want a few items for myself and as presents for generous friends who are looking for things they can't get either. It's all about spreading the wealth so to speak.

No it wasn't about any of those things...but a while back there was a girl who wanted the carnival hairpin so bad...SO BAD...and you bought it out from under her. You didn't even know. There was another person tryin to get ghosty kitties...same thing. You haven't done anything at all to me.

At this point I don't even remember who they were. But just let me ask ya something...what are you saving them for?

I never said you shouldn't make a profit. Unless you do it five minutes after you buy the thing...that is a lil iffy in my opinion. Let me give you an example though ok...

Remember how bad I wanted the Luuuv Guru, and night after night I sat here waiting for someone to come along and sell me one. Now if you had say ten of them for instance (I know you don't) but if you did, and you knew I wanted one really bad and you were just holding on to them to make a bigger profit later, that would be really mean. Especially since I was willing to offer a very fair price. Or say if you had 3 chickys and everyone in the exchange is wanting one and can't find any sellers. You can still make a profit on what you purchased it for, but just sitting there watching people get frustrated for wanting something and not being able to find a seller when you know you have a bunch...then that wades into ethical territory.

Now when it comes to work hard and snatch a bargain. Ok fair enough, but it's still good to share the bargains.

Like for instance with the girl I took the unpopular items from for the headwings. Right then they were selling really high. I could have made 400g easy on them. But I chose to trade the girl for the less expensive items because she was frustrated, and sad that no one would sell her just one instead of the set. She was really happy, so to me that was worth more than a few extra coins of fake money.

Another girl offered me three items for dove wings and I told her to keep one of the items and just took two so she wouldn't be completely broke.

But in return, some people have been incredibly kind and generous with me.
