Hey peeps!!.....question time

[ozflava]

Got a question for everyone on the boards.......HOW DO YOU GUYS TRADE ON HERE? I haven't been active on these boards for a fair while, but when I was I noticed not alot of people respond much through the trade section. I notice though that alot of guys have high feedback, so obviously there is some trading getting done. Do you use MSN/AIM/YIM, are you guys trading in person, in chatroom? I'm going to be moving back home to the mighty VIC(I live in Utah now) hopefully in the next 12 months and would like to make some good friends on here and start to get involved more. I've made a few trades on here, and have dealt with a few guys like Chad and Mike on other boards (Chad hooked me up with a sweet Brandon Bass Gold Refractor RC!!)....plus there are some familiar traders like Al and some of the international traders I know. But there is a bunch of guys I don't know, and would like to know better. Plus, I think I can help a few peeps out since I have access to stuff here that most of you may not have.......and I have made a few connections in my time here. Any feedback is appreciated, hope to get some positive ideas!!

Cheers
Cam

I think youll find most trades are done through pm. If everyone replied in the threads they would be clogged full of crap.

Yeah pretty much what he said - private message is the way we go about it.

 

[ozflava]

that seems to be the response I'm getting from people.

Just about everybody has a link to their wantlist and tradelist in their sig so you can always check those out. If you have something they need or vice versa just shoot through a pm and take it from there

Most trades are organised via PM/Email or in person.

They then proceed to the Trade Agreements page, which is basically a public paper trail of the trade. And allows us to leave feedback with references to the trade.

Usually we just say:
I agree to send.

They agree to send.

I received.

They received.

Deal complete.

Leave feedback.

Most of the discussions have already taken place.

We all look forward to seeing a few more trades!!

Yeh thru PM, sometimes ive organised trades via MSN (to save the whole PMs going back and forth) and then document them on here...I've never met any of the poeple on here that i trade with, but i still say we should organise a beer, pizza and cards night in Melb sometime

 

[Funkadelic]

If there's beer and pizza, I'll be there

 

[buyingstuffformikelee]

PM's the way to go

There's no harm in asking for certain cards at all

 

[ozflava]

thanks for all the input guys......love the keg in your username funk......that would have caused some havoc back in the day.....lol.

Yeah have a look through the wantlists, i'm sure ppl would appreciate any help you could give in finding cards they need (like the ones in my sig for example)
