I love trading on this site, and have enjoyed trading with many of you. I must stop temporarily while moving. Is there an easy way perhaps on profile to block info for awhile? I seemed to be addicted to looking at this everyday and I have got to concentrate on packing and moving. 

You can lock trading if you go into edit profile and scroll towards the bottom of the page.  Turn trading off.

Then turn off your computer and throw away your phone, that should do it.

In addition to Bru's suggestions, also pack up your cards. 

I'm observing Lent for the first time in my life and gave up trading for this period. It's been challenging because I enjoy trading. Generally the itch is exacerbated by looking at matches, so half the time I just delete all the recent matches and go back to sorting. The fact that I even go to Recent Matches makes it hard, though. 

I feel your pain. 

As a guy who moved at the end of last summer...quit trading early! And concentrate on packing things well, meaning don't throw stuff in boxes that aren't labeled! Not that I did that...ok maybe just a few thousand cards that I thought would be ok here and there to fill boxes so cards stated safe. That part all went well, but...I sure wish I had slipped something into each box that said, "take this back out" and labeled the ends of boxes that I did it to... for accountability I told my wife "I'm done trading for now";) that kept me away from it...not the site...I was still here every day likely. Maybe go to sportlots,etc and put what you would have put into shipping costs into buying a couple that you can't find here? 

I also moved last summer so I turned off trading a month in advance to clear out all of my trades. I think I ended up waiting about a week before I started trading again, but that was mostly to get new return address stickers and to sort through my Series 2.

Best of luck on the move. I can't tell you how many times all my worldly possesions have been packed onto a moving truck.
