Why do some people on here don't have tradelist but they have wantlists only?  I get matches for people needing cards that I have in my tradelist but when I look to see what I could get from them they have no lists at all.  Just their collection and a wantlist.  Does anyone else run into this problem.  Just curious!

There are some on here that use this site just to track their collection. They'll mark in here what they have and what they want so they can keep themselves up to date. They may not want to trade and may not have turned off the slider for "Allow others to see my Wantlist." 

I'm one of those. :) I have about 80,000 cards available for trading, I simply haven't gotten them all listed. Admin has made some HUGE improvements in getting the info input, but I still don't even have the full "collection" logged yet.

The way I trade is I usually have to initiate. If I see someone with a lot of hits on my want list, I'll go and look at their want list and see if I have enough stuff to cover a trade. So, if I was one of those, send me a message, and we'll chat.

I do find from time to time that I will get "want" requests in matches while the other party shows no available list at that time but as mentioned above there is often a reason for that too.

Ask for $$$.  I have pretty narrow collecting habits by comparison to many on the sight.  If we can’t trade, I’m happy to sell very reasonably.  In one case I just asked for postage money and sent the card.  

I recently deleted my whole collection, wantlist, tradelist, everything.  Restarted entering everything, for at least the 4th time.  And I can add 500 cards to my wantlist with a couple clicks if theres a set I want to finish and I know everything I have is in, while building a trade list is one card at a time.  So that's my reason.

lmao a 4th time? lmao wanna come here and update mine?

switzr1 > ouch and especially the 4th time.  I would be crying right now if that happened to me the 1st time. LMAO!

Thanks to everyone for the information. It helps.

I'm one of those people. I have 30,000 cards for trade, but this is not my primary database. I have been slowly, very slowly, moving my haves and wants here and mainly only adding them when I can add scans. Keeping my inventory straight in 1 systems is tough, keeping it in 2 is much more difficult.

I originally started my lists to include what I have and what I need.  Even though I need around 175 Topps Saints cards, no one seems to have any.  I did add cards for the few items I came across.  What I did is check to see who they collected and add what I have.  I also messaged them to let me know what they collect.
