I like the way the Topps digital apps handle this sort of thing. I could offer the same John Cena "card" to 10 people, but as soon as one accepts, the other nine offers auto-cancel. The app knows the same card was part of multiple offers. It would have helped a member this week who offered a trade to me, and received an offer for the same cards from a 3rd member. I ended up having nothing he needed, but he would have known sooner. I was on my Iowa trip at the time with no access to my cards.

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.

That is a phenominal idea. I offer trades and sometimes I never get a response. Then I withdraw the offer and the card I was trying to get is gone from another collector. First come first serve.

Like the that idea myself. Dont want to make unfair to either party.

Instead of "dropping off", it should get highlighted, maybe in red, to indicate it is no longer available. If it is removed from the trade that would cause problems. It would change the "balance" or "fairness" of the original trade proposal, possibly unbeknownst to either member involved.

I would like to see if you only have one card and 2 people are wanting and they both send you trade offers the first one who agrees to the trade gets the card and the 2nd person the card drops off of the proposed trade. 1 card is not so bad but when your trading 25+ cards in one trade the card could and does get overlooked that was traded. This will help with oops I traded that card and explanation on why you traded it.

This scenario happened to me where I had 3 trades going on with the 1985 Topps and one trader agreed then the other trader agrees to a trade and I didnt realize I had 5 cards that both of them were wanting. This threw off the other traders want list and had to go back in and relist them as wants. I felt and still feel terrible I did that to a fellow trader and did my best to correct the mistake and issue I have caused them
