They are only matches to my Trade List. I can't see what he has to offer.

Could be they're building their For Sale / Trade list. So they set it to Private, so they won't be pestered with trade proposals until their list is complete. Then they might go Public. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Could be on vacation. I used to make mine private if I was going away for a while. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Hey, off topic but the last couple of comments made me want to ask. Is there a way to make one's Collection private but still expose the want list and the For Trade lists? Twice I have had others ask for a card that is in my collection and not for trade. I rather not have to tell someone that something is not for trade (I personally would not ask for a card from someone that is not in his trade list).
