Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

Hey all,

Has anybody noticed an influx of new accounts here, or is it just me.

And it's super frustrating when they don't have a For Sale/Trade list....

I agree. Its the worst when you get a match for your trade list only to find out the user doesn't have a trade list. I just figured they just haven't uploaded a list yet

WELCOME ABOARD All Newbies.

There is a lot to learn, but you will absolutely luv the TCDb

Food for thought, not everyone comes on here to trade/sell and may not have the desire to. Many people are here just to have a place to track their collection or just use for reference. No need to be frustrated, just hope someone else has what you are looking for.

Echoing jmetal,I joined ONLY to keep track of this collection I started when I was 6 yrs.old in `77....It was time and I had no idea how and where to go to do it....an investment for my sons,I will,when ready start trading/selling....but yes,I only want to track,count,and show my collection,nothing more at this point..........

Hi Tom, I joined the site in 2011 (roughly) and probably didn't start using it until 2017 on a steady basis.

I kinda get what people who are new to the site are going through...Been there done that

I started my account in I believ 2015 and uploaded a bunch but then stopped until this last week. I do think that there are some that just enjoy looking at forums or following cards but not everyone has thousands of cards like the active members on here so it's not worth or not possible to have a huge for sale trade list.

Also new, and still getting acquainted with the site.  Loving it so far, and I will look to update my For Sale/Trade list in the future.  I can understand how frustrating it could be though, to be a veteran on this site and having to deal with an influx of us rookies.

I've been on since 2016. Initially it was just to document my collection such that I didn't have to keep spreadsheets upon spreadsheets of info. But I started using the site for trading soonwsoon after that whenIwhen wasn't in school. 

That said, the beauty of TCDB is that there are just so many things you can do here and that it is useful for. Use it for what you want! 

Last thing: I will say that if you're new and you list cards in your "for sale" list if you have no desire to trade, realize that is kind of a tease to collectors who do use the site to trade, as they may be very eager to trade for those cards, but have no ability to. I would instead recommend making a new collection called "Duplicates" or "Cards for trade" if you intend on trading them on a different site or in person with other traders, and NOT listing them in For Sale/Trade. Again, it's your collection, so do what you want -- just a recommendation.

I'm still new as well, actually here almost a full year.

I guess I'm just talking about those that have 1000's on their wantlist, and nothing to trade.

I want to trade those cards to those people!!

I love this site, and hope it goes until I'm dead! 

P.S. I still keep spreadsheets also...
