I built a trapped depot and anytime I want the stuff for free, I just pull a lever and the entire caravan goes plummeting 15 z-levels, haven't had anyone survive yet and it's a wonderful way to deal with the pesky elves (and anyone else).  :D

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

I belive it actually means that the total value of the goods you have remaining to trade at the depot is too low to buy what you're asking for - you don't get a counter-offer, because even if they asked for everything, it wouldn't be enough.

Tho I might be thinking of another, similar message.

From what I've heard, they realize they left with less than they came with once off the map's edge, which annoys them. You might get sieged, or simply end up with no more caravans.
