It appears I’m at the bottom of the barrel for trading here. Just letting you know where I stand here. I’m sure there are others like me with small or narrow want lists. For us one or two cards really counts. So please answer your messages and offers one way or the other to help us out.
Stats:
Recieved 537 cards and sent out 3,432 cards in 323 trades 213 Diff members 5 countries. One trade in the works. That is not counting the all the cards that did not go through a transaction here. Couple larger sales and all the PIF that I have gotten. Thank You all for the PIF.
Trading matches: (active members 30 days) 51 matches, 49 cards I need. This goes up and down each week.
Remove: the Var cards, the 2006 Topps Total (Base vs Grey back) which people keep getting wrong Cards to finish sets I’m selling and cards that are missed labeled but still listed wrong after being told. There are now 28 cards from 11 members left. One member has 10 of them and only want to trade for like cards (higher priced cards NO problem with that) I have messaged or made offers to the other 10 members (18 cards) and no replies. I just hate to withdraw offers but have done it more then once
Reports: Match items on your want list with items on other members FS/FT list 106 sets approx. 153 cards I need. Which includes the Trading Matches cards. Hard to keep track of these as they go up and down also and there is a lot of clicking.
Remove: The cards from my Trading Matches, and the members that have not logged in in over 3 months. I’m down to 24 cards. One member has 12 of them but only selling, another member selling only and the 5 he has are higher dollar stuff out of my range. 7 card left for trading (16 members) and I think I have messaged all of them with only one reply, That he is not doing small trades under 10 cards due to cost of postage. Which I understand.
I'm not giving up on the members here. I keep finding a card or two each week or so. Then there are always all the Var and others cards that I need members to verify if they are the correct Var. Still working on them. Then a couple of members that have a card for me but I have no cards for them but still looking. Keep adding those cards.
So now I’m just spending more time trying to sell then trading. Messaging members that have stated they may buy. Only getting replies about 25% of the time. Understand most members have large amount of cards for trade and would like to go the trading route.
Also I trying to help out when I find issues and then add an IR. I’m able to do some changes I find. Plus putting in my 2 cent worth on postings. Plus adding a few more cards.
A big Thank You for ALL the ones who have purchased and traded cards with me. Every card in my PC means something to me.
