Other collectors look at my collection and get upset because I will not part with my cards. I'm sorry that I have cards that other collectors want or need but I have stated in numerous messages that I only have 1 card of each card in my collection. I get blasted by upset collectors almost every time I respond to their message. So I am thinking about leaving this website. I generally use it to store my collection but so people think your to give them what ever they want. Sorry for their misfortune. On the most part I like this website and get a lot of information from it. Sorry for the rant 

I've had some ask about cards in my collection and I just politely say I only have the copies in my personal collection. Anyone responding with nasty comments should be reported to a higher up. Nobody should be harassed for not wanting to give up cards they want to keep.

What BigEd76 said!

One other thing that might be coming up.....if you go into your profile and edit your profile....towards the bottom is this line:

Allow other members to match their Wantlist to your Collection?

If that is set to yes, others may be looking at your collection as matching their want list and may be assuming that you want to trade those.  I have mine set to no and haven't received anything like that...but as Big Ed said...a simple no should suffice to others.... :)

I agree with what BigEd is saying.  This site is great and you should stay.  I don't know how long you've been getting messages like that...maybe it has something to do with the pandemic driving everyone (and the hobby) crazy?

I totally agree with BigEd.  I have had the same requests and have politely said no, that my cards in my colelction are not for trade or sale.  Fortunately, I have not had any rude follow-ups.  If you get such replies, report them to Admin.

As well, your choice but making such individuals public might help reduce such occurances.  I will not trade with such people if they have been reported as such either in their feedback or on the Forums.

Ray, you can adjust your profile settings to stop inquiries on various levels whether via trade offers or as extreme as stopping emails. I suggest also placing a note atop your profile stating you don't trade anything in your collection. Just some suggestions for you to stay and continue using the site. Anonimity unfortunately does empower and embolden rudeness that probably wouldn't normally be shown in person.

I have mine set to "No" and people have still inquired because I uploaded the images of the cards.

Thanks for the replies they are very helpful like I like this website and it's very informative. I will check the settings on my profile page. Again thanks all

Or you can also block the actual collection and you will still be able to use the other functions of the site...

Do you get the idea that we don't want you to leave?
