I prefer trading because it just feels good to turn a duplicate into a need.

I also don't count trade shipping against my self imposed hobby budget, where outright buys do.

I'm officially dialed back on the hobby, with the intent to finally fulfill my lifelong dream of classic car ownership. I published a post on Cardboard History this past week about it.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

I agree with the "buy" factor. Not many buys, funny too because I have posted many times "lots for nothing more than s/h"....and still no interest. I would think somebody needing cards to complete a set would jump on 400-800 cards basicly free. It is strange. My other account, dupesaplenty, where I keep adding my monster box extras gets very few hits. Perplexing?

Now on the other hand, if somebody is selling vintage stuff, I'm always looking to buy, if the price is right. ~Bob~
