Hi, so a while back you traded me some Darkrai codes; I guess on that day,
Maximum Optimizer had also purchased 4 Darkrai codes from you for me, which I didn't accept because I couldn't get a Eshop card to bank a Suicune for him. Some time passed and I registered the six codes you traded me to my six games and now I have 4 Darkrai codes that I can't claim. I guess Maximum Optimizer can't use them either, but I gave him permission to get a copy of my Suicune from
dr00 so the Darkrai codes are paid for from him.
Bleh, long story short I was wondering if I could claim 2 Articuno, 1 Moltres and a Mew for my 4 darkrai codes, and maybe toss you a monster for the trouble. Let me know as I have no reason to keep these darkrai codes because I traded for all the other ones; from you; lol.
Bummer! I do remember wondering about Maximum Optimizer's additional Darkrais; it makes sense now. At this point, those non-Darkrai codes (Articuno x2, Mew and Moltres) are of considerably more value on my thread than Darkrais, since I have essentially zilch in the way of pokemon to offer anyone and over 20 Darkrai codes at present. They are all I have for variety! Cashing all of those in for more Darkrais would kind of clean me out until Arceus, blessed be he, comes later this summer. That, and I have standing inquiries into the Moltres and one Articuno pending, too (though I haven't committed them yet).
I want you dealt fairly with, of course. I just don't think I can trade code for code straight out like that. There are a couple of ideas for which I would consider sending more codes your way, whether we negotiated you sending back the Darkrai codes or you just kept them for trade value / nieces' and cousins' Memorial Day gifts, etc.
Likely my first choice, you could let zapzap29 or Albus CYT for what one of them were interested enough in to trade either of these pairs my way in turn. Codes would pledge failty to you eternally at way more than 1:1.

This Zapdos is darn near picture perfect. Flawless stats for hidden power ice and 2 attack for a minimal amount of Foul Play damage. This took me ages to reset, 6 days straight after I received the code via email. If needed I can provide the code for proof.

Alternatively, you've recently had some mighty fine persistence and well-earned rewards with soft-resetting (congrats, btw) yourself. Shiny Xerneas and Shiny Yveltal, both quite competitive spreads. Very nice! These aren't as high on my own personal wants list, but rights to distribute a finite number of one of those would carry a lot of weight. Permission to trade even three shiny Xerneas (with clear record of course) would likely more than make up for losing momentum on my thread for a couple of months.
I guess I'm essentially just proposing some kind of further trade that moves my own thread forward instead of significantly backward, even if it doesn't approach 1:1 like our last bargain. I'd be glad to see you have codes you can put to better use, but not quite to the point that it leaves me with considerably less to trade (and only more of something I already have so much of) to show for it. Your shiny SRs have got to be worth more than gold to you, and any casual observer can see from your thread that you deal particularly shrewdly with a mind towards redis rights. So maybe that's not the way forward, I dunno. What do you think of something like trading your mon to zapzap29 or Albus in exchange for those remaining codes from me, and have me complete the triangle by receiving their mon directly from them? Then you keep the Darkrais to trade off later, and you nab my remaining non-Darkrai codes as well, for 8 total?
