I do feel salty when I offer things for a player and am told I'd get heard back from them but they take worse offers (not even subjectively worse, just less value than what I offered or was willing to offer) which has happened a few times, but I think some of that prob can get chalked up with me not staying on top of that person and it being a time sensitive deal. I've prob done it too.
There is a fine line between actively colluding OR having people you feel comfortable trading with. In my case, I've probably traded with 3-4 players more than any others because they usually work their way into fair deals instead of trying to rob me out of the gate
