The information below is ancient history, though the basic idea on how item values work is still effective.

The Fan-Made website for Trading on TinierMe

Simple Facts:

Trading Items
Trading doesn't not happen on the actual Trading site. The trading site is basically used to find users who have or want a certain item. Typically, when you create an account with this site, you link your TM Profile page to your TM Trading Profile page by submitting your Account ID on the Selfy ID text box on your Edit Profile page. The link will appear underneath your item on your Trading Profile page.

Item Lists - Have Want and Don't Want
Items that you have and wish to trade are posted visually on your TinierMe Trading Profile page. Some people post their whole inventories, even when some items are not for trade to keep track of their items or for whatever personal reasons. Usually they will mark the items that they don't want to trade with a custom label.

Items that you wish to "Want" or "Don't Want" are also located on your TinierMe Trading Profile page, on a list separate from your "Have" items.

Adding Items to Your List - Manually
To add items manually on your Have, Want or Don't Want list, simply click on the Edit Trading List link on your mini-menu which is located on the right side of the page, under your icon and follow the format instructed under the text box.
If you are uncertain about the color of an item, search for it and look for the icon that matches the color you wish to add. If typing the full item name doesn't work, try typing in only one of the words used in the item name if it's name consists of multiple words, or type in part of the word.
If the official name of an item consists of a color, it's not a part of the TinierMe Trading item name so don't include it. For instance, the "Knitted Hat Red Badge" item on TinierMe is in fact written as "Knitted Hat Badge" on the TinierMe Trading site.

Another Way To Add Items
You can also add items to any of your three lists by Browsing or Searching for items. The Browse and Search links are always located at the top of the page.
To add an item to any of your lists, simply click on an item to view it's information page, and click on either the "I Want This", "I Have this" or "I Don't Want This" buttons that are located right underneath the item information box.
To add multiples via this method, simply click on the "Click here to go back to Item's Description" link, and press on the same button you used again. Repeat as many times as you want.

A Tip For Adding Items On Your Lists
When a new Gacha is released, and you have items from this new Gacha that you want to add to your Have, Want or Don't want list, an easy way to do go about this is by going to the Browse Items page, scrolling to the bottom and locating the name of the new Gacha, clicking on it, and then opening the individual new items on a new tab and adding them to the lists you wish to add the items to.

Who Has What You Want - Who Wants What You Have
You can view everyone who has added a certain item to their "Have List," "Want List" and "Don't Want List" when viewing an item's profile and clicking on the appropriate tab under the item's information box. The order in which users are shown goes by whoever last updated their "Trading List" manually, so clicking on the "Add New" button will push your own profile up to the top of the list of users.

Your TinierMe Trading Profile
Edit your TinierMe Trading Profile from the Edit Profile page. Only certain HTML codes are active for use on your profile. A list of allowed codes can be found Here. Note that this is an image of the codes, so copying and pasting them from here wont work.

You can also edit the title of your Profile from the Edit Profile page, but keep in mind that there is a character limit - so if you save your title, but then it disappears, this is because you passed the limit. I suggest you copy the text in your title in case that it does disappear, so that you do not have to re-type whatever HTML formatting you gave from scratch. Just edit it out a bit to shorten it, copy it again and test it to see if you removed enough characters.

A Warning - Just A Suggestion
Although some people are lazy, it's considerate to read the rules posted on a user's Trading Profile. Every person has their own way of valuing their items, and some people care about the way you contact them. These people will write out instructions on their Trading Profile to let you know how to go about communicating with them. Mind you, some people tend to get angry when you don't bother to read their rules. If you wish to not read rules, don't always expect a courteous reply.
