The Agency (/~Bnqt)

I am currently on a short hiatus. However, The Agency is still open! Two other lovely Neopians that I trust are currently running the page. No need to bookmark different pages. The main page will remain the same.

The Agency is updated every weekend (Friday - Sunday). Please be patient! :3

Want to trade your pet, but are afraid of being eaten alive at the Pound Chat? Or worse: being asked to vote for ugly art? Oh noes~ Well, there's an easier way.

List your pets at The Agency. Listing is open to ALL players and anyone can check the list and offer.

On the main page (yes, this one), you can find:
Updates, the status of sections, how to remove pets, how to list pets, FAQs & other junk 8D

Removing Pets


Please make sure you neomail me about your listed pet, when you have traded your pet. You must also neomail me to remove your pet if he/she has changed species or color. You may relist your pet if this is the case. And of course, you MUST neomail me when the pet is no longer in your possession. Don't clog up The Agency with pets that have already been traded or pets with the wrong information. I can't keep up with all the pets so YOU have to let me know when your pet has been traded and is no longer UFT.

To remove a pet:
Simply send me a quick neomail with the following information:

Subject: Remove Pet
Message: [Name of Neopet] the [Species] has been traded.

Once you have that information, please neomail coucou_5.

Yep! That's all! I just need to be able to remove the pet quickly.

Want to list your pets?

Please read all of this. It is important!
To list your pets, you have to make sure you do 5 things:
These rules do not apply to RW/RN/Other pets. To find the requirements to list those pets please click here or use the navigation on the right to access the page.

1. Make sure you use the account the pet is on to neomail me.
2. Fill out the form below.
3. Neomail the account coucou_5
4. Put the SPECIES of your pet as the subject!
5. Unblock Neomails from your contact account so ANYONE may contact you.


Simple right? The following information should be provided in the neomail.

Name of Neopet:
Unconverted?:
Color:
Species:
Gender:
BattleDome Pet?:
Seeking:
Contact:


It is important that you PROVE the pet is yours. It is required that you neomail coucou_5 from the account that the pet is on. For the sake of everyone's sanity.

You must prove the pet is yours. There are NO exceptions!
You must prove the pet is yours. There are NO exceptions!
You must prove the pet is yours. There are NO exceptions!


Safe Trading

Though it is not REQUIRED that you do this, you might also want to consider the following:

1. Blocking User-To-User Transfers until you've secured a trade.
This is to avoid the loss of clothes. If someone does offer, do NOT reject. Simply let the transfer expire and you will not loose your pets clothes You can block transfers here.

2. Listing OTB's (offers to beat) or pets you are seeking on your pets lookup
If you have specific pets you're looking for, it would be to everyone's benefit if you listed them.

3. Removing coding/State that the pet is UFT.
It helps me and I'm sure it'll help a few others.



Disclaimer!: I am NOT responsible for trades gone wrong. It is up to the owner and the interested party to arrange for a transfer. I will not be held responsible for pets lost due to a pound-transfer, lost transfers (because someone rejected or whatever other reason), lost clothes or any other issue dealing with trading pets. This is a LISTING. I do NOT arrange any of the trades. That is up to YOU.

Listed Pets

Here are some abbreviations that are commonly used when trading pets:

AV - Avatar pet
UC - Unconverted
RN - Real Name
RW - Real Word
BD - Battledome Pet
VWN - Very well named
WN - Well named
DN - Decently named
(V)BN - (Very) Badly named


Contact - Person you should Neomail offers to


The gender can also be found next to the pets name:
F - Female
M - Male
M/F - Pets gender can be changed.

On a final note: Do NOT contact me to offer on any of the pets listed here. I do not OWN these pets and I cannot accept/reject offers on behalf of someone else. Please NEOMAIL the Contact person that is listed at the end of each pet. A link to neomail the contact person is provided for your convenience!

Happy searching!

FAQ's & whatnot

Too lazy to finish this section at once. Keep checking back for more x)

How often do you update?
Usually every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Sometimes Sunday. Depending on my school work. Rarely will I update during the week.

If I spot a mistake, can I neomail you?
Yes! Please, please don't hesitate to neomail me if you see any mistakes!

It's been over a week since I've neomailed you! Why isn't my Neopet listed?
Well, either you didn't follow the rules or I lost your neomail. Most likely, you didn't follow the rules. Please make sure you read them before neomailing me.

If I have a suggestion, can I neomail you?
Yes, please feel free to neomail me, as long as that suggestion hasn't been addressed in this section ;D

How often do you go through your list to check if pets have been traded?
I don't. Seriously, I can't do that. It's up to you guys to tell me when you've traded your pet. Please do us all a favor and message me when you've traded your pet

Can you make it so we can search pets by color?
No. I'm sorry, but it's enough work as it is. If you're not sure what species you'd like, but you know which color you want, you could always browse the rainbow pool until you've made up your mind.

Can you make an agency for adopting pets?
No, sorry I can't. Too much work. There are plenty of others out there anyway.

Can you add a section for avatar pets?
This was a wonderful idea, but it's too much unnecessary work. I'm afraid you're going to have to search the agency yourself for avatar pets :c

Why aren't you specifying if a pet can get you a petpet avatar?
Honestly, because I'm unclear about this. TNT says you can't include a petpet as part of the trade. I know people do this on the boards all the time and that's fine if that's what they want to do. But I'm not going to risk my account. Sorry.

I neomailed you a while ago about listing a pet. You haven't listed him/her yet, but he/she has already been traded. Should I neomail you to remove the pet?
Yes, yes and little bit more yes. It would be awesome if you sent me a neomail saying you've traded so-and-so even though they may not be listed. Saves me the trouble of listing the pet c:


Help out The Agency



If you're interested in helping out The Agency, then please keep reading!~

Why help? The Agency is can only a success if a lot of people know about it and use it. If more people are aware of the Agency and use it, then it's very likely that there will be more variety of pets listed. Not only that, but it will become easier to get a number of offers on listed pets.

So in order for The Agency to be a success (that is, to make it easier for everyone to trade), word needs to get out.

Advertising The Agency by myself is all well and good, however my time is limited due to school. Therefore, it would be of much help to everyone if someone helped me advertise.

How you can help There are a few ways in which you can help out.

ONE
The easiest way to help is to leave a bump or two if you ever see my topics. It helps a lot and it's much appreciated~

TWO
Having a link to the agency in your signature helps a lot if you're a regular to the boards. I've created a siggy that ANYONE may use.

NeoHTML

Neosignature


It's not amazing and I'm sure there are some much more creative people out there that can do much better. So please feel free to create your own.


THREE
Join the guild! The purpose of the guild is to have people help out removing pets, maybe eventually hosting pages? Or just to chaaaaaaaat with me when I'm lonely. Anyone can join. It will eventually be private so join now and help make it awesome?

FOUR
Another way to help is by placing one of our buttons on your lookup, shop, petpage, pet description, etc. The Agency has a number of buttons you can use, which can be found on the right side of every page. You may create your own or just use a text link if you'd like.

More?
Please do not use your own methods of advertising (any other method not listed here), unless we've talked about it. If you're interested in other ways to help, please contact me here.
