How long does it take to look at my profile page to see that I am NOT trading right now and will only sell cards at this point?!!!
Nobody seems to care to check first and would rather waste their time building a trade that I will not agree to which also wastes my time telling them why I won't agree to it. Members have asked me for years why I leave proposals turned off most of the time (it has been for various reasons over those years), but lack of etiquette on this site has been the #1 reason for about the last 3 years now!
READ PROFILES BEFORE SENDING PROPOSALS!!!

Need to leave the TM open to make it easier to process sales, something he is willing to do.

I began using the Out of Office tool to message potential trade partners as they're building a trade. It reads, "Minimum 18-cards each way unless cards coming my way are part of my focus sets."
Alas, it gets ignored, too.
Of course, I do have a novel for them read on my profile, so there's that.

I would not say "Nobody" but I do think the majority don't. It is just like the Forums; we see the same things being asked in new threads that have been covered over and over gain, sometimes even a day prior. People think they are the only ones who matter; others are there to help them do their will.

their Collection for what they is on their want list and trade list.....

It is similar to how people rarely read the actual item descriptions on Ebay listings. Or on social media when people just read the headline and some sites/platforms only show the first part of a headline so you onlyl get part of the thought and have to click the dang link to see what the full headline is to determine if you are even interested in the article. By that time it has doen the job of hooking you for their viewer hit quota.

Wow. Having a bad day? While there may be some truth to your statement, if it bothers you so much why don't you clear your wantlist for the time being if you only want to sell? I get your point but that is what I do when I'm not looking to trade.

Could it possible that other traders are trying to help you with your over 250,000 card want list ?
