I've got to make my first post here, because I'm bluntly appalled at the nerve of someone that I've been dealing with tonight.

I was offered a 1GB CompactFlash card (Lexar, good quality) by mix_hyenataur in exchange for some fursuit items. He claimed that the card was worth over $100-170 and that he wanted a trade equal to that amount with a discount. I looked up the cost online and I can currently purchase that *exact card* for $95, which I informed him, and offered him $115 worth of fursuit items and free shipping in trade for the card, which I think is more than generous.

I was told that I only cared about myself, that I should appreciate the "thought that counts" and that I wasn't losing money so why should it matter.

Just a warning, to any professional artists out there or people who run respectable businesses. I'm going to suggest steering far clear of this guy. He obviously does not respect the work that goes into what we do, and feels that he should get more than he's "paying" for.

Not worth the time, so there's a warning in advance for you.

Edit: I should add that he told me I charged too much (which in honesty, I charge less than or equal to most, and it works out to a horrible hourly rate, honestly) and that if he made the offer to anyone else they'd appreciate his generosity and jump at the offer.

...but I said that.

What they said was different.

I saw what they said. It was along those lines, hence both you and I posting it as an example of the kind of things people are saying to you. Community rules allow for people to discuss whether or not someone is telling the truth; they do NOT allow people to start throwing out random insults.

We leave that to the trolls. 9_9
