I'm here to trade.  It was tedious and time consuming, but almost everything I have to trade is listed.

I'm posting this, because I am curious why people are here. This is the easiest site to start trades that I have ever used. But when I start searching for trading partners, it can get very discouraging. Especially when you see that you have 15-20 different sets where a  member needs cards, and they have nothing listed to trade.  I know we can't force people to trade with us, but I wish there was a way to encourage people who haven't done any trading to give it a try. 

Suggestions?

I am here mostly to try make sense of my card collection and track what I have.

I'm here to organize my collection trade my doubles annd unwanted cards to people who need themi have been doing good lately at getting cards out on thime hoping to add another 10-12k next year to my own PC

I only collect Cincinnati Reds cards and use this site to organize my collection. Since I buy team sets, I have very little to trade. Now I try to work on the "Things To Do" list to add information missing from cards. Tedious but rewarding.

I started here years ago to organize my collection. When I discovered the trading aspect, I was hooked!

Started here as a backup to my excel file for my PC.  Then started using it when people asked me for a want list.   Find a lot of cards that I did not know about here. I have only traded/sold about 25 times here but NO problems like I have had at other sites.  Really like that I can see pictures to verify cards.  Just wish they all had pictures.  I really need to learn or get my scanner to work better. Then I could add more to the site.  The information you get about cards is a big plus.  Even if you are not collecting these cards.  Just learning is great.

I started just trying to get my collection organized and cataloged then I discovered trading and now I love it. I agree it’s frustrating to see matches with people who have no desire to trade. I think a good solution would be some sort of opt in to have your wantlist show up to traders. That way we’d only see people who want to trade. 

Paulie, I'm a bit confused on your post.  I finally withdrew a trade to you on Nov 26th because I never heard from you.

I first came to the site to organize and track my collection. One of my goals for 2019 is to get cards listed on my trade list so that I can utilize the trading aspect on this site. I want to get my entire collection listed first so that I don’t trade for duplicate cards by mistake. I am making progress, but progress is slow.
