Wickedly Cool Trades

I'm in the room now. Just to verify she has the full mansion pin set on and the full halloween 06 set

so only those who got in the line in the, say, first ten seconds of the event are going to make it. Wow.

Yes, the first ten seconds or less and a really fast connection too. I don't know why my computer on these trading events always bogs down right as the event is about to start. Probably because so many are trying to get in. When i logged on it said there were over 6000 people on vmk.

Not to assume you are, but LOL. If you have 2 vmk windows open, that will happen to you every time. There is a lag on room search to highlight and then click enter room.

I have cable internet that is super speedy and I even bogged down on my first attempt. I was lucky to only get stuck for a second and ended up at 158.

The rare pin factor has everyone clammering to get into these rooms.

Oh i never, ever have two windows open for these pin trading events. Heck, I don't even open the Dis boards until I am done because I am afraid of the lag and that I will DC. But good thought though. I am so paranoid that I make sure nothing is even running in the background on my computer.

I just got the dreaded VMK Crashed message. No trades for me today. This is always my luck every time there is a trade event. LOL, maybe I need to take the hint already.

Ok so which are the best pins to trade for? We are almost in-at 25 and would like to know what to go for ? Thanks

Mickey Ghost
Pumpkin
Spider

What was the other one?

last year the other was Bat

I am not in front, but somewhat closer.

I timed 22 in the first 18 minutes. Started at 158 and it's at 136.

That is close enough up to say the time has remained around 1 per a minute...meaning it is more a people delay then a trade delay. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to speed these events anymore so I will agree with aengus - you are on the bubble at 200 give or take. I would stay in line up to 250 in case of a miricle. Or my fovorite if you are currently out of luck is VMK crashes and you get another shot at the line.

the reality is, even with the new inventory system. It will take her at least a minute per person to trade. The event is 3 hours long. If you are at 180 or higher your odds are not good. Of course there will be some DC and some quit but 300+ you have almost no chance at all.


Sorry, you all know I like to look at the bright side, but I dont want people being disappointed later.

leota and gracy are a fan favorite, other than that whatever you have less of or whatever you like.

 

[Master Gracy]

I would go for one of the mansion pins myself, they are all on pretty much the same level, and rarer than the 06 pins

 

[tofubeast]

Barring a dc (fingers crossed) I am now in the 130's and started at 214. I think I have a decent chance!

So which of the mansion set is most rare? Gracey or Leota?

 

[aengus]

depends on who you talk to LOL

neither is a bad choice.

 

[souper]

The Haunted Mansion Set and the Halloween 06 (purple set) are available to trade.


Hope this helps some of you decide.

 

[tofubeast]

About a hundred down in just under an hour. I hope that means more people will get to make it through!

 

[aengus]

you must have alot jumping ship.

I started at 88 and still have 16 to go.

 

[Master Gracy]

if it goes on like this, the next 200+ people might make it in

 

[Master Gracy]

1029 people waiting in queue D:
