I just like collecting, not seeing who has the most spikes and headdresses. But I don't think it's right to get '''frustrated when people are expecting the worth of an item. '''Collectors who expect the true worth of an item are usually trying to reach out to OTHER collectors. The anger is not justified and you should just ignore these people if they bother you. (Unless they're like bothering you personally aka spamming your jags or smth.)

Also if there is any other collectors and you want to chat or smth you can jag me at Deertine ;^)

Edit: Also, people can ask for whatever they want, someone can ask for a long for their necklace. Sure it's quite unlikely anyone would trade a long for a necklace. But it's not illegal. Honestly, i probably should've written this post, i would've got the point across better. The point of the post is to say how unfair trading an item with almost no demand is to an Aldan trader. Aldan trading is based on demand, if it has no demand then no Aldan traders want it. So look at uncommon items, they usually have no value to an Aldan trader because of no demand for Aldan and only among collectors. Since most of the time they don't hold value to an Aldan trader, attempting to trade them to an Aldan trader for "only full price or over" (Which is what this post is aimed at) isn't the best trading choice that can lead to some conseqences. Such as never getting to trade the uncommon items because no Aldan traders want them, and guess what? Tons of Aldaners trying to trade uncommon items constantly complain about "Uncommon items being hard to trade". And what do they expect, you're trading the item away from it's main demographic (There are hardly ever actual uncommon item collectors in Aldan at the exact moment you're trading them), and into a different demographic which choose to view the item as "junk" for having low demand. Aldan has values based solely on demand, and uncommon items don't have that same (Aldan trader) demand.

Uncommon item collectors tend to hang out and trade as friends, friends that don't go into Aldan as much as your average AJ trader. The biggest uncommon item collector friend-group i know of are the collectors on this Wiki who I've become friends with, and alot of them are friends with each other. Having this large friend connection between different uncommon item collectors forms one of many "uncommon item collector friend groups", which are basically a bunch of uncommon item collectors who're friends, and hang out and trade with each other. This is the main method for trading away uncommon items. ​​​ It's defiantly an opinion sort thing. It's not 'unfair' to trade a collectors item for a high demand items. If they person wants it, let them trade for it. I wouldn't say ''no aldan traders want them." I know some people that do, I know some people that don't.

I personally don't know any collectors. I am just a hobbiest. Wish I did, but not everyone has the advantage of having collector friends.

I probably don't make any sense but oH WELL
