Izzy ♥ Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Unfortunately, I am going to have to increase the required collateral for the Faerie Queen Doll avatar. I have lost two in the last month because apparently people think 50-100k is worth risking their account for. Thus, the new collateral for borrowing this item is to be 1,600,000 NP. I don't want to be stolen anymore *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 That's really a shame :( People should know better than that by now! I don't blame TDN at all for increasing the collateral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSummer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 It's a shame but you have to do what is best. Not TDN fault at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraquanEyrie Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I cant believe this. From TDN to boot, I guess I will never understand some people. TDN has my sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Oh dear! I'm sorry to hear that. Why do people do that? :( I'm never lending my FQD for free again. You can't trust anyone these days. DX Too risky. Sorry, TDN. Some people are so inconsiderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataluna Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 :( sad to hear that some people are.. urgh. someone lost their MSPP the other day on the boards too :( have to say thankyou to the ALP though :) i would never have gotten the pet avatars otherwise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Are you serious? Why would anyone do that! That's just utterly stupid! Urgggggh. :( :( :( Okay wellll then it's more collat to build up for that avvie, but I don't mind! :D (safety first!) We should make people pay higher than market price.

Lauren_x Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Stuff like this makes me very sad with the world. I mean come on it's Neopets so why on earth cheat/lie/scam. Ugh. Sorry to hear about the idiots, gl lending with the increased collat <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenlovesneopets Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ugh, scammers. I got an Icy Snowflake taken a while back. Good luck trading with the increased collat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behemothrules Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Wow, i can't believe how common it is for this sort of thing to happen. :sad01_anim: I totally understand your reasons for increasing the collat, and I really appreciate all the lending you guys do, even if some people don't. Keep up the good work TDN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilshadowdweller Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm sorry to hear that. I think I may have that one from a long time ago...I should check...but it's unfortunate. I trust people so much, and people trust me. It's sad that these few rule breakers ruin it for the kinder people (which I sure hope is the majority.) It's fair. I hope you don't lose anymore.

Jacky Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Oh no, that stinks! I am very sorry to hear that... Never understood why people would want to hurt someone else over pixels. And someone else that is trying to be nice by helping them get an avatar, even.... Tis a sad thing. :( Good luck and I hope things like these wont happen anymore in the future... :( sad to hear that some people are.. urgh. someone lost their MSPP the other day on the boards too :( Oh no! :( I hope it wasn't the charter member starting with a D.... I mean, it is very sad if things like this happen but I will be even sadder if it is him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppetelle Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hello *waves* In some ways the collateral being high is good, because people will still get that real sense of achievement when they save up enough to borrow it, so I think it's good in a way. Tis OBVIOUSLY not good that some people are so low to take advantage of your good nature, that absolutely sucks, karma will get them hopefully :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it is very sad if things like this happen but I will be even sadder if it is him... i'm not sure who it is, i just mentioned to a friend (the one that lent me ZDAP for free actually) that i was still looking for the MSPP plushie avatar and he told me that his friend normally lent for free, but that someone became unresponsive after recieving it. he sent a ticket in but so far nothing. and just yesterday someone also lost their ZDAP too, person self iced the account after getting it. i don't know how he was much more okay with it, he said he felt that he'ld gotten good use out of it and so many people had gotten the av, that he didn't mind so much. (i know i would have been very sore and upset about it if it was me) i hope the increased collateral helps to decrease this behavior, its so unfair that some people will struggle to raise this sort of collateral (but at least the ALP does do a trust based decreased as well) i just can't believe.. 2 dolls in a month o.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkie Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 How much out of pocket are you because of this latest loss of FQD? If you let me know I will make up the difference of the collateral and the cost to replace...I think I have used that amountfor the many loans for many items for avatars......Set up a trade and let me know and I will bid on it for the amount you need.....

profusive Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I kinda saw it coming, the first time I stumbled across this avatar lending program I notice that the doll's calat. was kinda cheap. So sad how people would try to take advantage just to 'profit' acouple of neopoints. But hopefully the doll was bought cheaper than the colat. cost :rolleyes_anim: I still need it, soo... no one steal the last doll :shiftyeyes_anim: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blabberfingers Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 It's an unfortunate but common story. The dishonest few ruining things for everyone with their shennanigans and tomfoolery. Blah! Your increase is an appropriate strategy. Good luck and I'm sorry for your negative experience. Oh and I'm with Barkie, I can donate also and hopefully cut her expenses in half. Anybody else in? I don't like letting the bad guys win. Please neomail me with trade information. This post has been edited by a member of staff (Spritzie) because of a violation of the forum rules.

Sweetdang Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I donated via the shop today, is that a good way to help? Oh yea, the shop! I always forget about it. :/ *off to donate* I do believe it's for a BGC, but I doubt that's happening any time soon. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yes, the shop is the best way to contribute :) I managed to replace the first FQD I lost with the collateral I had from the user (1.5mil) but haven't replaced the second one yet. They do pop up on auctions occasionally for 1.5mil still so I am just watching for one I can catch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkie Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 There is one on the trading post now for 1.6m I can gladly make up the extra between the collateral and what you need to pay if you like...I have had my share of loans from TDN and so even though I do donate to the shop I would gladly pay the difference so that others can get the use of the FQD here on TDN....

Izzy ♥ Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thank you :) I currently have a bid in on one for 1.5mil in auctions - might get outbid, but we'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 It's sad that this has happened. Most of the people on TDN seem so kind and generous- I don't blame you for increasing the collat! I think it's actually better to have a higher collat- I'd rather borrow with a higher collat then buy the item myself- so I don't mind at all. Thank you so much for keeping the lending program open- it's truly fantastic <3 And if you need any help with funds- let me know, I can donate too! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
