Trading Wyrmies :3

[HopefulMonster]

Aurorous, I'm going to chime in with a bit of a heads up, echo'd from dragonside.
You have a LOT of wyrms for outright sale, at their max allowable amounts. (As well as some for max amount plus additional items such as con pickups) As we stated in the CDF rules, resale in bulk of wyrms is highly discouraged. If you want to offer some for trade and a few for sale that's fine, but I'm going to politely request you refrain from mass sales.

[Aurorous]

D I absolutely am not trying to mass sell. I'm going to keep around half of these wyrms, I just wanted to see what people had to offer before I decided for sure which ones I'd let go. I'd honestly prefer to trade all of these rather than sell them, but I haven't gotten a lot of trade offers and out of the few I got none interested me. I think the format I used on the original post with the minimum and maximum bids is a little misleading; it puts a heavier emphasis on cash offers than I really intended. I promise I'm not in this game for profit but for the fun! I'm going to post which ones I'm keeping in the next day or so, so please tell me if there is a problem!

[Aurorous]

I'm currently making some decisions on which of these wyrms I am going to keep. Here is a preliminary list of what I'm keeping. I will make decisions about those listed in the undecided category and do random draws for the ones with multiple offers over the next few days.

Aww... I'm sure mitch will be happy staying with your squirm! Give him lots of love from me!

Am I still able to make a bid on the wood borer?

[Aurorous]

Am I still able to make a bid on the wood borer?

No, sorry. Bids were closed last night.

Since you're keeping the gem hunter could my offer of a pickup be moved to the fu?

*high fives* Im glad you decided to keep her XD I really like that you mass-buy though for all of us to get a chance at wyrms even the newer guys. And your super fair about it, you take awhile to decide to make sure your making the right choice and honestly it gives the newer guys a chance to get at them since they aren't snatched up immediately like the single sell wyrms. That's what makes me extremely happy about buying from you, it's a big problem when your new and you don't attend or go to many cons. Im always happy to see your sales/trades, just like I am to see meow's on dragonside. Heck if Meow didn't mass buy I wouldn't had had my second dragon/purple's mate. Since I got her from a sale. and I love Tea. <3 to her greeny flippers.

I'll be re-tracting my offer for the orange PGH, I don't see anything that she'd go for so I'll keep looking. Goodluck and thank you for the oppourtunity!

Aurorous, PMd you with explanation and thank you, I appreciate you clarifying.

I appreciate that not every Wyrm is every handlers cup of tea, and picking up a bunch of Wyrms at a con then rehoming to handlers who couldn't attend or have few Wyrms is perfectly fine, and something I'm cool with encouraging! I just want to also encourage keeping it accessible to handlers of all levels, and avoid the 'cutthroat collector syndrome' mentality where only those with tons of cash able to bid high will ever have a chance at expanding their fluff family. We are a friendly community, filled with awesome people, and I want to continue to encourage that.

I am also 110% copacetic with encouraging a free trade market sort of deal, where accessories jewelry, outfits/armor, food noms, habitat setup/bits, and other Wyrmy related swag, particularly hand made stuff from the creative members of our community, become viable currency to trade with. There are some outstandingly creative and talented folks around here, and thats definitely something I'd love seeing more of!

Hopefully this helps to clear up our position on the resale deal. If folks still have questions or need clarification, PLEASE please please don't hesitate to poke me! Open door policy guys, the community can only learn and continue to grow by y'all asking questions, us getting feedback, and it being a two way street. I promise, we don't bite.

Weeeeeeell........Sciggles might. But only before she's had her morning coffee.
