Hi,

I recently tried joining the Community but my joining request hasn't yet been approved - on the community page it says "Your request to join Reddit MTG Trades is awaiting approval".

Is there some other hoop I need to jump through before being approved?

It should happen one a mod gets to it. Just gotta be patient.

They probably approve people in batches once a week or so. I remember it taking about a week.

Ah, cool. Thanks.

Just to give you a heads up, we're a big community but I don't know many people who trade in the UK. So having that restriction on yourself to only trade within your country may hinder you being able to complete some of your collections.

It's more of a preference than a restriction.

I shall have to reword that part of my profile info (because having reread it I see it does come across as a restriction).

Oh cool, then I have some duals you need if you want to work out some sort of deal for them.

A lot of people think overseas trading is a big hassle. Not sure of the costs UK->US, but US->UK is not terrible. You just have to make sure the trade is worth it. Usually if the shipping > 10% of trade value, I won't. You just cut yourself off of a lot of opportunity. Good luck, and welcome.

OK, cool.

I want to get the rest of my cards all cataloged, and my trade list sorted out, then I probably will contact you.

Unfortunately not cheap at the low-value end.

So, I would be looking to make any UK->US trades high-value, for that very reason.
