I'm here to trade. It was tedious and time consuming, but almost everything I have to trade is listed.
I'm posting this, because I am curious why people are here. This is the easiest site to start trades that I have ever used. But when I start searching for trading partners, it can get very discouraging. Especially when you see that you have 15-20 different sets where a member needs cards, and they have nothing listed to trade. I know we can't force people to trade with us, but I wish there was a way to encourage people who haven't done any trading to give it a try.
Suggestions?
Paul

I only collect Cincinnati Reds cards and use this site to organize my collection. Since I buy team sets, I have very little to trade. Now I try to work on the "Things To Do" list to add information missing from cards. Tedious but rewarding.

I started here years ago to organize my collection. When I discovered the trading aspect, I was hooked!

Started here as a backup to my excel file for my PC. Then started using it when people asked me for a want list. Find a lot of cards that I did not know about here. I have only traded/sold about 25 times here but NO problems like I have had at other sites. Really like that I can see pictures to verify cards. Just wish they all had pictures. I really need to learn or get my scanner to work better. Then I could add more to the site. The information you get about cards is a big plus. Even if you are not collecting these cards. Just learning is great.

I started just trying to get my collection organized and cataloged then I discovered trading and now I love it. I agree it’s frustrating to see matches with people who have no desire to trade. I think a good solution would be some sort of opt in to have your wantlist show up to traders. That way we’d only see people who want to trade.

Paulie, I'm a bit confused on your post. I finally withdrew a trade to you on Nov 26th because I never heard from you.

I first came to the site to organize and track my collection. One of my goals for 2019 is to get cards listed on my trade list so that I can utilize the trading aspect on this site. I want to get my entire collection listed first so that I don’t trade for duplicate cards by mistake. I am making progress, but progress is slow.
