Okay, I have a question here. I only bring TESTED stuff to trade meets. I go out of my way to make sure that everything I bring has been tested and if I bring anything that doesn't work I tell anyone interested that it failed my tests. I assume that others do the same thing...
However, in the last two meets I've been to, I've had horrible rates of failure with everything I've traded for. I've say I'm at about 20%, IF THAT HIGH, of the stuff I've traded for actually working. I'm beginning to think I shouldn't bother with trade meets.
Now, when someone indicates that something hasn't been tested, I know you're taking a risk and I can accept that without an issue. It's the other stuff I'm talking about where you're given no indication that stuff may not work when you trade for it. I get especially bothered by this because I tend to trade rather generously at meets to be a nice guy.
Am I unreasonable at being annoyed as fuck that nearly everything I traded for at the last meet I attended doesn't work?
