PIN & POP PIN & POP Site Announcements & Ideas

PIN & POP PIN & POP Site Announcements & Ideas
I personally love it and would really love the option to sort my traders by demand ratio when setting up my table.
 
I've asked for this before but I feel this pain every time a new Trade Arcade rolls around.

Can you please have the tables that have not been visited appear at the top or bottom of the list when looking over the tables? It would greatly improve the quality of my experience when on the site.

Once we have hundreds of tables, it can be a needle in a haystack to find the one or two that were just recently added. I know the goal of randomizing the order is probably so that the top of the list isn't the ones visited most often every time, but if we could just get a visited v. Non-visited segmentation, I would be ecstatic.
 
I would also reiterate my request that when viewing tables you can toggle to hide pins that are already owned. With 10,000 pins to review every month now, it takes a lot of time. I don’t have all my ISOs marked so I want to look deeper on tables than just grails and ISOs.
 
I have two thoughts after this arcade, one is very old and well-worn.

1. I would like to be able to bookmark tables to make them easier to find again. Some tables are just a better match for my traders in general and as the event goes on, I'd like to be able to find them again to do more trades.

2. I would really like the ability to rescind offers and/or give a time limit. It is incredibly frustrating when you put an offer on a pin on Friday and don't hear back before Sunday or even Monday. I don't want duplicates of the pins, so I don't want to make offers elsewhere. I feel like people are treating the arcade like an auction, just collecting offers until the end and then making a decision. This isn't something you can do with in-person trading. I understand people are busy and need time to think, but I feel like there needs to be a compromise here. 24 hours seems like a perfectly reasonable limit to be able to rescind an offer.

I've asked in the past about 'putting a clock' on trades. Not sure about 24 - but the half way point of the event done on an automatic level, if its a script or something that Chris can set up. I now have 4 still sitting from early entry on Friday.

Having the ability to cancel a trade is a thought, just as long as it's done before the other party accepts it- if not it could lead to alot of buyers remorse.

The problem with a specific time is you might have offers come in right before that automatic deadline. If a clock isn't possible, then just rescinding would be nice. For now, I'm taking note of those tables that have not responded since Friday.
 
I would like to be able to rescind offers because I do offer on the same pin at multiple tables. If one of them accepts, I'd like to be able to remove my offer from the other tables, similar to just walking away from an in person table.
Seeing what my offer was would be great because I forget pretty much instantly what I offered.
Also being able to adjust an offer after it's placed in case I want to add more pins to it.

And having a note about which pins you have made an offer on and been declined. I made offers on all the Sorcerer Mickey earhat chasers available, and I had them all in my watchlist, but I could never remember which table had just declined my offer. It would be nice if there was a little flag or something next to the pins that had been declined. That flag could link to the offer that was declined, in an ideal world. Then we could go back and make a new offer that isn't exactly the same. I hope that makes sense.

Good idea! If you go to make an offer on a pin that has already declined, under the owned tab it will list pins rejected by that table for that pin that you offered. So you can make the same offer twice. But something easier to see with less clicks to get to would be great!
 
I fully agree with the desire to be able to rescind offers. As @Chris Nickols well knows (and is probably tired of hearing 🙂 😎). For example, I'm after the Oswald HM D and there are about 15 of them being offered by people that I have their ISO. I would love to just offer all 15 and see who wants the trade. But then I might end up with 15 of them. So instead I have to make one offer, wait for it to get replied to, and then make another if needed. And if the first person waits until the end of the event and then declines, I'm out of luck. If I could rescind the "extra" offers after one gets accepted, it solves the issue. I don't see a need to be able to rescind any offer for any reason. But getting the pin in another trade seems reasonable and doable from a technology point of view. Heck, even better would be an optional setting of "cancel my duplicate offers whenever I get a matching pin". I would just leave that on all the time.
 
My thoughts on rescinding offers for people taking too long. I am one of those people who will waiting until a good amount of offers are made to give people a chance to shoot their shot. Some of the pins I put up on the table this time are out "big hitters" for me that I really would love to get something amazing for. I really try not to put monetary values on pins because that sucks the fun out of it BUT I'm not so naive to where I will accept an open edition pin for a WDI. This event I have 2 hard to get (for me) pins that I will eventually trade but for the perfect trade offer; both are event exclusives. One is a "first time up on my table" pin and the other I've put up in the past to get a feel for what I could potentially get in terms of range. There were many wonderful offers presented over the weekend to where a little bit of decision paralysis set in and I just couldn't decide on the right decision for me and the other party. If you made a trade offer to me over this weekend and I made you wait longer than you would have liked, I am very sorry but with this type of trading we're all waiting 'til the cows come home on Monday at the cutoff time.

Now the other issue... rescinding offers if you have successfully traded for a pin with someone else and you have multiple offers out in the world could be a good thing. I know double trading sucks if you are limited on traders, don't like having doubles or prefer to focus your energy on other pins throughout the weekend. I WOULD LOVE to see a flag or notification pop up (either when an offer is made to me or when I go to try and make an offer) where a brightly colored tab tells me "HEY, YOU'VE ALREADY TRADED FOR THIS AT THE PREVIOUS EVENT BUT WE HAVEN'T LOOKED IT OVER YET". I double traded at the November event for a pin I forgot I potentially traded for at Happy Haunts so I'll end up having 2 pins now if the other gets approved. Having doubles isn't my concern; I actually don't mind having doubles most of the time. The pin I traded away for the second one could have been used for something higher on the priorities list is my concern.

Ok.. enough of my soapbox for the day. Hope everyone is still getting awesome offers and I look forward to seeing those hauls!

I have an extra Oswald.

I agree, I would like to 1. Be able to rescind an offer after an acceptable amount of time and 2. Be able to see what I offered on
a pin so I don't have to create a spreadsheet.

speaking of, in addition to the export collections, if we could download a spreadsheet of trades won by date range, that could act as a packing list when we send pins out?

They've actually created something like this that you can print and check off. I was doing a spreadsheet for this too, but the last two times,
I've been able to print the check off sheet.

I love the idea of a "cancel all offers for duplicate pins" option. It would be nice to place bids on multiple tables for an ISO without worrying about unwanted dups. It would have to be a pin-level option and not a blanket rule, because I collect multiples of some pins to act as borders/boundaries for my different collections.

I also try to get doubles of some pins, especially if it fits two or more collections (such as a mystery set and another collection category).
