Do you find this rude or normal?

If me and another person have agreed to make a trade, I expect that the person will be available to do the trade right away. If they aren't, I think that they should specify that, so that I can decide whether or not I can wait for them to be available.
IMO, I think that it is incredibly rude, disrespectful, and selfish for a person to set up a trade when they aren't available at that moment to do the trade, simply because they don't want to miss out on whatever thing that they are trying to trade for.

As a person who has made hundreds of trades on here, I actually find it to be really rude. If you post in a thread wanting something then you should be available to trade right then and there (or in a few minutes or so). I know personally that I usually wont hold any items or villagers for a person who isn't available at the current moment. I understand that emergencies (or other things) can happen that make it impossible to trade at the moment but if you are at school or at work then you shouldn't post to trade just so you won't miss out on items. I know I am sometimes on the forum and I can't get on my ds, but when that happens I don't post in buying/selling threads I just let someone else get the items...there will always be another chance to get what you want, there is no need to be selfish about it.

I'm fine with popping onto my ds. But I see where you are coming from. Yeah, I guess it can be annoying when they don't arrange a time, but just ask them to set another time/day c:

I prefer trading immediately but if the other person can't then that's all right. But then personally I wouldnt post a trading thread unless I can open the gates at the moment.
villagers are quite different though. certain threads get could get you better deals & by letting it go you could potentially not see that villager for a while/have to pay millions more. trying to get something for yourself while you can't isn't selfish. it's only selfish when you hog every chance. if you want a villager to be gone in that second, when doing auctions/something you most likely have to specify that you're gonna have to pickup immediately because most people can't.

I normally write that I will be online for the rest of the night, or whatever. Immediate trades are good, IMO.

Same. I only post to trade when I'm available. I always assume that others do the same. I find it annoying when they post, then don't respond for hours. If you can't do the trade until a certain time, that should be added in your post.

I also find it a bit odd, that someone would think I'm being RUDE just because I'm ready to do the trade. How are we to know when you're available if you don't put that in your post? I like when people put online or offline on a trade thread too.
I usually ask them if they're available to trade at the moment
but honestly I want the trade to go asap, I dont spend all day on the forums and I forget if you give me a time. If you post something and I respond and agree I rather just get it asap I really dislike waiting ;_;
When people respond on my hybrid thread and I will add them and say I'm opening my gates, then they say they're arent available, I'm assuming you are because you posted something in my thread, not stating you arent home or whatnot. ( it hasnt happened before luckily) it throws me off because Who knows when I will be on again XD I'm doign stuff all the time.
I dont consider it rude unless they're say open your dam gates i'm waiting"" or what ever, depends on the tone,
in the end I find it a bit rude if you post something and dont state you're not available to trade atm in the post.

It's not rude at all. When someone says they want to trade, it usually means right now. Unless they say otherwise, why should anyone assume it's meant to take place at a later time?

On this forum it does seem to lean more toward post now = trade now which took me a while to get used to, I do a lot of posting on the go in my phone but have very limited times I can actually WiFi and I'm used to making appointments feom years of being on forums where that's the norm because I can't just drop everything at any given second to WiFi. A couple times I posted about wanting something on a trade or sale thread and despite being the first to reply I was passed over because I wasn't present the second the op was. I got a little annoyed at first but realized that's just how things work here and try not to mess with any of those parts of the forum when I can't trade asap.
I agree with most that if you're in the trading forum, most people would want to trade right then and there. If I'm not near my DS and a trade pops up that I really want I'll usually reply and ask if they would be willing to wait, but if they can't I would understand.

When I'm trading I just assume the person is on right then and there unless they state otherwise beforehand. I really do prefer doing my trades quickly because revolving around another person's schedule can be a real hassle figuring out what time to trade and if they even keep their word.

It's normal, and the complete OPPOSITE of rude. When you post in a thread, you are saying you want to do the trade *right now*.

I have no problem with people being presumptuous.
it's annoying sure but a lot of people forego social graces when selling
what gets me is when sellers expect you to bend over backwards to be ready for the time they're ready

I'm just saying that you should always let the other person know that you are not available to trade before you set up the deal. And yeah it is really rude to post on any thread saying you want to buy something and then once the other person is ready, and you be all like "ohh wait I'm no where near my ds right now... you don't mind waiting hours till I get home do you?". It's common sense how do I know that you can't trade until you tell me. I am usually flexible but I never tolerate rudeness, and posting to receive something from me (villagers and items) but making me wait hours for you just because you don't have access to your ds is very rude (for me at least, everyone trades differently and has different opinions on this ^.^ ).
