How do I choose????

[PixieDust]

So last night I sent out a big batch of trade requests. This morning I open my email and find three emails accepting the trade request for the very same pin. They are each agreeing to trade the same pin to me so all three trade acceptances are identical. Both my pin and the pin they would be trading to me are highly sought after. My pins edition size is smaller by 250. Not sure what to do...

I usually choose the first one that came in based on time stamp. Or, go with someone you already have traded with, if they are one of the multiple responses.

lol you POOR BABY! what are the chances? you win no matter what. i would go by, if you traded with any of these folks before and it was positive, feedback and i (just me) prefer if they are also on here or pintalk because i feel they are more reliable. oh and also if they are in the US--cheaper shipping--sorry all you outa US traders, just in this situation.

Thank you both
I did check to see if I had traded with any of them before, no luck there. They are all in the States so shipping is going to be about the same. I guess i'll just be playing eenie meenie mynie mo!!!!!

In this case u should look at other trades/wants and see if u can arrange a multi pin trade!!! :0)

identical trade accepts should be devided by time stamp OR by reference. the one with most positive references is sometimes the one I choose if time stamp is to close.

+1.

If there's a dramatic difference in references that would influence me, but if there's not much difference in references then I'd take the first reply.

Hi CaligirlUCR! I have been away from the DPF for quite some time, but let me say (off topic for a moment) I am ever sooooo indebted to you for all my amazing PODM

I had not thought about this, we are spending postage either way so the possibility of a multi trade would certainly would certainly give someone an edge. Checking into it now.

Thanks to everyone for their posts

If three people jumped at the same offer, you may want to reconsider! It sounds like you're offering something quite rare compared to what you'd be receiving.
