I have 9 trades proposed and no one is responding. Is this a slow time for trading?

I have been sending private message before proposing trade..

If there is no response, then I did not waste time pulling cards or putting them back.

Things do come up. I've had an unexpected, unwelcome guest show up at my place. Took me 3 days before I could shoot sorry messages out and I still haven't been able to do the trades 3 days after getting those messages out. However, as Mark pointed out, if you haven't heard bcak in a bit, no harm, no foul on pulling the trade and/or sending a PM. 

Not sure if you've checked each users' last active dates, but you maybe have offered trades to inactive users as well

I feel like it's the opposite of slow time for trading-but the reason for slow response-I feel like there's a ton of offers going out and coming in for people every day.  At least I've experienced that.  I personally love the offers of 9 cards or the same set offers. Those are so easy to glance thru and accept vs ones that are all over the board (not that they're bad) they take more time to look thru and my biggest downfall is those types-I get looking at one and oh the dog needs to go out or work called and I have to go in.  I know I am far from perfect. I would just send a reminder message on the offers-I have gotten a few of those and never take offense-just a oh thank you for reminding me of this offer. 

Speaking as someone from Wisconsin I would say in my area people tend to be focused on enjoying the last bit of decent weather or getting projects done before the snow falls so they probably are slower to respond. Of course that means before you know it the temperature will drop below freezing and the snow will fly and people will tend to be focused on their indoor activities. There was a little frost on the neighbor's roof a couple mornings ago.

I felt it too, just deleted 3 offers that have sat unanswered for three weeks.  Have 9 that I made recently waiting

Today I made 5 offers and 4 have been accepted.  The only one that is waiting, the member has not been on site for 4 days.

Than you go back a month and I had over 12 offers I withdrawn do to the fact they were over a month old.   I have 5 now in withdrawn state and may reoffer them with a little change to each.   One has not been on the site for a month now so may just delete it.

I have messaged a lot of members about deals.  I'm about 35% getting replies.  I have made offers to members that do not reply to my messages and they accept my offers.  So who knows what works.

So it is a catch 22.     Check their last log in date.   make offers    sent messages   That is all you can do.  Some days are better then others.

Dude, you invited me!

Oddly enough I check in almost everyday and get one trade offer every two to three weeks. I thought maybe the offers had slown down.
