Something Does Not Seem Right about This Trade

[Eeyore's Pal]

I received a trade request through PinPics for a simple trade: Rack pin for a lanyard pin. (And not one of those <i>hard</i> lanyard pins either.)

So I said yes.

Then the person suggests we might trade two or three pins and make it "worth the postage."

That makes perfect sense to me. So I agree.

I don't immediately look at the other person's traders. A little while later I get an offer for the original trade and two other pins that they're interested in. Would I look at their traders and see what we can work out? Sure.

So I go look at the their traders, and notice the oddest thing. This person wanted to trade for three of my pins.
This person has all three of these pins in their trade list.
Now what's up with that?

I've traded with this person before, and they have lots of references on Dizpins, so I'm not suggesting anything nefarious here.

I don't mind having a duplicate trader now and then, but isn't this strange? These are not super hot pins by any definition. Only one of these is what you might call <i>strongly popular</i>!

Am I missing something?

One answer might be that they checked the wrong column when entering a pin. I have done this a couple of times myself. In stead of checking the Wants column for a pin I wanted I checked the Trades column.

THere are many times that I've had my trades and wants checked the same.. Some times it doesn't clear when you correct it and they both remain..

I would just nicely ask. Never know. They may have just checked the wrong box.
I had someone some time ago (long before every WDW lanyard had a dwarf head pin) REPEATEDLY ask for my dwarf head set. (Unopened package)
I kept turning them down, as their offer was always an 8:1 trade.
These pins were also on their trade list. I asked them one time why they wanted mine when they had theirs to trade. (Pretty well knowing they just wanted park traders.) Their reply, "Just because." Which pretty much verified my suspicions!
They still kept asking, and I finally just removed them from my trade list and traded them on my own. (After a dozen or so times of No, you would have thought they would give up.)

I had a funny one recently. I received a TA request. I replied back Yes. Their reply: "No thanks!"

I had to laugh over that.
