When should Wants vs Trades really matter when pin trading?
Hey guys,
So today I felt rather insulted by someone on pinpics would instead of just saying no thank you to a pin trade asked me if I even look at the pin wants/trades ratios. I was taken back by this cause it didn't come off any way but insulting.
I've not replied and I'm thinking I won't but I just started to think maybe I'm pin trading badly?
Like I understand LE pins going for "equal" trades (but even so I've traded many that were not of similar created number like when I traded a 1000 for a 400 pin), but for pins that aren't LE when should one really pay attention to the Wants/trade numbers on sites like Pinpics or even when trading at events when that information might not be at your finger tips all the time.
For me I go for collection pins in almost every pin trade I try to do. I want to know this pin will stay with me for a while if not forever (yes sometimes they might go into traders if I decide to change my focus collection a bit) but if I was too scared to ask for a trade cause the wants/trades numbers then I'd hardly ever pin trade I think.
I dunno, I just really got frustrated with this and started looking at my pins and thinking if I don't trade these away cause I can't find comparable want/traded pins to exchange then when would I ever get any trading done?
But yeah I'm just throwing this out there cause I'm curious what traders who have had much more experience than me think about this issue? Any advice?
