Really great topic!
Ya know, I don't know what kind of trader I am. I think, like you, I will trade in the other collector's favour if it's for a card in my want list. Generally, I've found that it's easier to trade with win-win in mind. Not many people understand that. You're not really getting ahead when you get the better end of the deal and any positive feeling you get is fleeting. You have a lot of fun when you know both people know it's a fair trade and are walking away happy.
