Hows trading these days?
Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing good. I just updated my Flickr and want list a few days ago and re-upped my subscription.
Just wondering how trading is these days and if it is worth it to spend the time updating my org to trade here (it is way out of date)

This sport has definitely slowed down, but I'm trading more in Baseball and Football. That's only my experience. I simply may not have what people are looking for here.
I appreciate Chicago players that begin competing within the city's sports organizations and stay with these teams throughout their careers.

Trading is definitely slow but I still find that this is the best site to trade on.

RE: Hows trading these days?
I'm still sending and receiving offers, but I'm finding that traders are rejecting offers more frequently than simply sending a counteroffer.
I'm always happy to amend a trade, so I don't understand why trades are straight-up rejected without any counter whatsoever. If we want to keep trading alive and well on this site, then we need to communicate more and be more willing to work out trades instead of just rejecting them altogether.
Just my opinion.

RE: Hows trading these days?
I trade lots on other sites and use to trade lots here. Can't say I have any interest in listing or updating card list on here and having to pay to trade, buy and sell. If the traffic flow was like it was in the older days I would but with the few people posting on here it just seems like a waste of time, energy and money. I update my freeweb page but it don't seem like people want to look at those either. On other sites I usually trade directly to peoples threads and throw up my specific want list which works great.
