There are options on every page you add inventory to select the imported condition (in bulk or not). I'm not sure if they've been around for a long time or not, but they are now.

I do, however, agree with you that it should be "unknown" if the user has never changed the option. Would be nice for users that don't care to keep track of that.

I'm just surprised and confused that it has been organized this way for a while; I'm pretty sure deckbox has been a thing for nearly a decade and has had trading setups for nearly as long. I can't think of any other trading bazaar I've used (such as in online marketplaces or in real life) where condition/quality isn't a prime consideration.

Hi, I wouldn't normally make these kinds of posts but I've had too many negative experiences in the short time I've used this site (although they are paired with some very positive experiences as well).

Why, when you put a card into your inventory, is the default condition Near-Mint? Shouldn't it be set to the unknown condition? I've traded with a couple of people who in their bio say that their own inventories are not graded correctly and "if you care" to ask them for clarification on the conditions. I understand that some people may have enormous collections to where they're putting Bulk into consideration and listing it, but the assumption in most marketplaces when buying/selling/trading is not that everything is pristine. Therefore, why would it be the same for Magic, where there are people who desire to keep their own collections in good condition, or prefer to get poor-condition cards because they're cheaper and their desire is strictly for gameplay.

Hi, I recently joined Deckbox with the intention to trade off most of my binder for cards I actually want. I see there's an option to match my trades with people's wishlists and vice versa and I wasn't sire how I should be talking to people in order to trade. I'm sure to long time users of the site this seems like trivial confusing but I've sent a couple emails to people who match my inventory and have yet to hear from either of them. There's a possibility that one was disinterested because of my card's quality but he didn't specify a quality on his wishlist.

Should I just send trade offers to people who meet my criteria? I'm not sure if that's rude or frowned upon or locks both parties into the trade or anything. There are tons of matching offers for me and I just wasn't sure how exactly I should be trading people. Any recommendation helps, thanks. smile
