Arc's Thread of Buying

[Maths]

Andrew is one of the few people that have done business for a net worth of tens of thousands of dollars. Honestly, if not going first with him isn't okay, I don't know who it would be okay with.

Yes you have Royalty, you have sold to me before.

And technically, it would go through two people, not three ;D.

Honestly I have been scammed way too many times, and I feel I have the right to request my sellers to go first. Money > Pixels, and honestly if you do not want to go first, and don't want my money then, might as well not post on my board.

Why say I'm adamant on not going first, and then go first it would make no sense ^^.

Where have I traded with you before?

And by absolutely refusing to go first you just turn people off and make it seem sketchy.
I would advise everybody to not go first and use a MM if this is the case, sorry

[Arc]

I don't know how many times I need to state I won't go first xP

I have one trader who has my respect and trust. I don't care what title, what rank ect a person has that does not mean they automatically get my trust, they need to earn it.

I honestly do not know why one request is met with so much dispute, I have stated what I want, and that I'm unwilling to change such. If I want to buy items, let me do so my way, if you don't like it don't sell to me.

[I_royalty_I]

Yeah, you are entitled to your opinion.
And as a mod of this forum, I am entitled to warn everyone about going first with new traders.

I don't recognize your name at all, so I still have no idea when/where we traded?

[Arc]

So basically just because I am reluctant to go first means I must be sketchy ? You mean you would rather push around your rank and title to make people go first, and because someone is unwilling to do what you ask, you are trying to intimidate me by saying that I "may or may not be" sketchy in hopes that no one sells to me, and I come crawling to you willing to go first.

This is the reason I dislike Clraik ;D I may be new to clraik but it does not mean I'm new to buying neopet related items.

Royalty you sold me ets, tried to sell me ucs, I even sent you some of the pm's to help you remember.

[I_royalty_I]

I honestly don't care if you "come crawling" to me to buy. I just want to make sure nobody gets scammed.
And he, I see that PM. Sorry I don't remember everytime I sell 8mil worth of NPs.
I think I have more than earned the ability to ask people to go first. I am always willing to use a MM, even though I aMaine myself. But I usually don't just agree to go first with a newbie who I honestly don't know too well.

Im not throwing around rank for any type of personal gain. I'm doing what I would do to anybody else that made a thread like this.
If you don't like CK because we have certain policies in place, then I don't know what to tell you.

Best of luck.

So you won't go first or use a middleman? Mmmm...

Andrew sure is the most trustworthy seller I have ever met concerning Neopets trade.

[Arc]

Katzes I have stated that I'm willing to use a middleman, however even if the potential seller is a middleman, and they do not want to go first, another middleman that are not them should be used.

Royalty you sure are entitled to your own opinion, but you should not go jumping to conclusions. You may have earned the ability with other users, but that is them not me. I'm really sure you are not trying to throw your rank around...obviously because I did not become "skeptical" until I said I wont go first ;P. I never knew it was a policy that a buyer could not ask the seller to go first ^o^.

Obviously you would rather try and shove your opinion, instead of trying to make a buyer feel comfortable and safe in a trade. The coin goes both ways as you have stated.

[I_royalty_I]

I was gonna let this go but you keep pushing. You don't know when enough is enough.
Nobody thinks you're clever.
Its not just my opinion, but the opinion of probably everybody else here.
Making a buyer feel comfortable? You're joking right?
I just hope you don't end up trying to pull a fast one, for your own sake pal
