If the pedigree looks a bit confusing and you aren't sure if the trait you want could be hidden then just politely ask in KittyCatS chat if "so and so could hide under so and so" or something similar. Sometimes I think cases like these do happen out of a completely non-malicious situation where the seller also does not fully understand the charts or the rules of dominance. Just my two or more cents for this tricky problem...

I agree with you Daki. It could have been a misunderstanding on the sellers part. They may not have understood the order the fur fell in. And I have made a few mistakes myself to understand that yes this can happen.
But when we sell something we really need to know what we are selling. Not only do the buyers need to do their homework, but so do the sellers. Your reputation is in that sale. If ppl are going to come back and buy again you need to know you are selling a kitty that warrants the prices you're putting on them. You need to be honest with your buyers. You need to check the charts, and ask around before you price and put that kitty out.
For lower priced kitties I'm not so picky about pedigrees. But I think it's a good idea to show ppl what they're getting if you expect to get a higher price for something.
Another handy tool for selling is a pedigree linker made by Liriel. Someone told me how it works last week and I love it. Maybe she can post something about it in kitty stuff with a link to her shop. Or even here, I don't know if that would be allowed is the only reason I didn't.
And I think it's important for a person to check Sagas charts and ask around before spending a lot on a kitty.
I like to think that 99.9 percent of our kitty community are honest ppl. But there is that .1 we have to watch out for.
And these days with so many new traits (yay) it's good to have an idea of what you are getting.
