I tend to be a scatter shot trader as I send out probably 5 trade proposals on most days.  I probably average 15 trades a week. Last week, I had 54 trades in my in progress section.  That felt like more than I wanted to keep track of.  Down to 35 now and it seems like a pretty good middle ground.  How many outstanding trades is too many for you?

I have 14 in progress. When i get home i will have 14 trades to organize, leave feedback for and mark complete.  See i work away from home for 2 weeks and when i get home i try to mark everything recieved then actually go through each package organize my collection through each package.  Now once that is done i work on trade offers i get currently 4 but by the time the week is out I usually send 10-15 out by the weeks end or lower that by how many offers i get before the weeks end.  2nd week I am home i might get or send 2 or 3 no later than Wednesday so gives everyone a chance to respond by Saturday.  Sunday morning i cancel all trade offers I sent just because i am going back to work for 2 weeks. This keeps me straight and not wonder off getting too many outstanding trades that i am having trouble keeping up with

For me I think anything over a dozen would be my limit. As far as shipping those trades out, well I got a taste of high volume package shipping last month when I did my Basketball Team Lots Purge. Too many eggs in the basket.

Ive got 17 open right now. Last week I had 38 which was my highest ever.

Only five at the moment, but I haven't been sending out the barrage of trade proposals that I normally send out in a given week.  Just been to busy. 

One is usually my limit. Sometimes two, but not often.

I couldn't do it.  Any day that I don't have at least two envelopes in the mail waiting for me is a sad day.

I have 38 open at the moment.  Glad they're all in the mail - easy to get out of hand.

56 open trades at the moment.  Has been crazy.  Craig

I am usually at 1 or zero. I work a lot and I am working on organizing a collection of probably half a million cards. I have enough to overwhelm me with just that. I think it's great that some members like to trade a lot. I'm not at a place where that works at this time.
