Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

I'm brand new to this site - a rookie so to speak (albeit an old rookie), so bear with me if I ask simple questions and/or make mistakes.

The main reason I joined is that I'm finally getting around to organizing/cataloging my multi-thousand card collection that I've accumulated, inherited, been given, or otherwise acquired throughout the years, and this site seemed like a great place to begin.

While frantically entering cards every day, I notice frequent messages informing me that many of my cards appear on various members want lists, because almost every card I enter intentionally goes into my For Sale/Trade list.  The reason? I am an avid, if not obsessed, Yzerman collector, having over three thousand distinct cards and thousands of duplicates, yet to be entered.

Almost all other cards are available, mostly hockey, and those are the cards I'm entering now into the For Sale/Trade list.  Here's the thing - unless you have some obscure or rare Yzerman cards, I am not collecting anything else, so making a Trade would be difficult.  

I'm not ignoring the messages informing me of cards I have that are on your want lists, and I will reply to every one of them as time permits.  However, in the meantime, if you see anything pop up on your side, please message me, or propose a transaction (if that's the correct wording) and make me an offer to buy what you need.  I have no idea what most of my "traders" are worth, but I assure you, any reasonable offer will be accepted, and I'll just have to figure out what it will cost to ship to you, as that would also be new to me. Of note is that I do NOT sell on eBay, so this is the only way I know to get you the cards you need.

Sorry for the length of this post, but I'm open to advice/suggestions from the very experienced members on this site.

Looking forward to hearing from you - thanks for listening.

First welcome to this great site.  I do hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us do.

You will find many members here who are very helpful in answering your questions, from listing your collection, making trades, adn even the best way to calculate shipping and shipping itself.  I encourage you to ask those questions - there is never a dumb question if it is about learnign about this site.  Well, ok, may be a dumb question if it is the uptenth time you ask it.

Enjoy - vrooomed will be interested in your Yzerman collection as he is an avid collector of Stevie as well.

Welcome to the database, from another Yzerman collector (well, it's technically my wife's collection, but I'm in the process of logging it in and adding scans). I have not yet added all the extras or our wants. We had nearly all the cards released prior to the 02-03 season.

The alerts are there IF you decide to attempt a trade. They can be turned off. If you don't do anything, it no big deal. They are not like auto-generated transaction proposals - I think some peope think they are - they are simply the system saying "hey, you added this to your want list, these members have it available."

I look forward to seeing what cards you have that we don't and vice versa. And welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard.

If you are adding many cards of a single player, the filter section is very helpful. Where you can search for a card number, regardless of brand or year.

WELCOME to the site! 

Welcome to this site and hope you stick around !!

Welcome!

A Detroit native here and we need the Captain to work some miracles for the Wings whenever they resume playing..

A few words of wisdom..You can turn off people being able to see your "For Sale/Trade" list and you can also turn off alowing people to make you trade offers if you so choose. 

Regardless of what you post here, people won't remember that when they see you have cards that they need. 

I'd also highly advise having a price guide of some sort available because you will get lowball offers from people..

Ask questions if need be!

Thank you all for your kind replies!  I'm certainly learning a lot and will most likely have more questions as I navigate around the site.

Welcome. You have a lengthy list of Blackhawk cards that match my wantlist that I would be willing to purchase. Take a look at it. Joe
