I thought it would be fun to have a topic about trading stories.
That is, not trades that failed or anything like that.
Just trades that ended up being weird, funny or funnily disappointing.
I'll start.
Last month I unsubscribed from Humble Monthly after another letdown (for me). I still added the latest early unlock to my tradables in case someone wanted to trade it for a good price meaning I'd get the rest of the bundle for cheap.
Then two weeks ago I got this offer.
"Oh, cool... OP3 was something like 7 or 8€ lowest price, that's a great offer for me. Plus, I was hoping for it to be in the Bandai Namco bundle on week 2 but it wasn't, so it's unlikely to get bundled anytime soon."
So I did the trade.
And then Friday the bundle got unveiled. And it has OP3 in it.
Okay, I thought, now that's the weirdest thing ever. I mean, I was positive it wouldn't be bundled. And there it was.
The trader assured me it was a complete coincidence, as expected.
Eventually I decided I'd just trade and retrade it for some good value, because, well, that's the only worthy game in that bundle.
Guess what? It now has a 2:1 ratio on Barter... As if I was the only person who wanted the game at all.
I think it's a sign. Of what, I don't know. I just like that it's a sign.
Any other good stories you remember?
