Hello every my name is Bob and my son is Big Dan. We been on here for years but only been trading for the last few months.
One thing I'd like to talk about is trading. We have made almost 80 trades and hope to make thousands more. Alot of trade offers and proposals we make are heavy on our side. That's not a bad thing. 99% of the offers we receive are heavy on the other side.
You know what is so awesome about this site? The ability to counter. We have added hundreds to our trade and want lists. So when we receive a trade offer we do everything we can to counter. And if there isn't anything on our want list that we feel is comparable to what your asking for then we use another awesome part of this site.
The ability to search your trade list. We look for other cards that we are interested in that are not on our want list. That adds another element to trading and building everyone's PC collections that I think is fun. I've found cards in the 2000's that I didn't know existed which I thought is impossible.
There are some on here who we have sent trades to who have looked at and declined and some of those also came with a mean comment. Im sorry that some on here expect the offers to be perfect. They either don't have the time or passion to look through my trade list or other trade lists to find that next card for your collection that you didn't even know you wanted. That is a shame in my opinion. You should be willing to use the tools on here that are fun in its own right.
As for the mean comments i get it. The social media accounts has made the whole world angry. I left them sites a long time ago. Between the politics and people being keyboard critics over everything you post or say makes it hard to find joy there. So i understand.
Some people say they decline because I didn't leave a message to counter. I didn't know I had to. I thought that was a given on here. After years of working I have nerve damage in both hands. So some days typing is almost impossible for me. I didn't think you needed it but here it is. If I send you a trade you have our permission to counter in fact we encourage to.
We hope to trade on here a long time and get our collection where we want it and also help all of you to get yours where you want it also. That's why we're all here
