Reddit has literally ruined this site.

Well, I don't really know who is right or wrong, but I will say that I've always had enjoyable trading experiences with mbknight, even when they haven't worked out.

Now, can we please just get back on topic? Anybody else have any neat tips or tricks for getting people to respond or for finding active traders?

You should look at the trading for dummies thread that just poped-up if you haven't read it :)

I literally posted that in response to this thread XD

oh wow mbknight you are such a god damn victim here, you poor sweetheart. All you did was call me crazy to warn the others when what you actually did was insult my intelligence by calling me retarded.

WTF did i just read. what a slanted view of what actually happened.

You proposed a trade, i didn't like it. I countered, you didn't like it. Instead of putting your big boy pants and moving on, you decided to take it a step further and wail like a baby and and call me names. Now you are here trying to appeal to the masses by making up some really lame "I did it for the people speech." Grow the hell up, you immature brat. Nobody forced you to do anything. There is a cancel button. You hit it and bid a person farwell, get some thicker skin.

Here's a simple question: did you or did you not try to evaluate your cards at your own value based on past value?

His story explains the trade in question (http://deckbox.org/trades/117823?s=33382) better than yours.

People making up their own value for cards is a personal pet peeve. Card value constantly change. You can speculate all you want on card value but if you want to trade for cards on the decline at the lower value, then wait for that card to actually reach that value (unless both parties agree beforehand of course). The same with trading cards on the rise for higher than current. You don't get to value a rising card at some higher future value until that card actually reaches that number. Of course a trade is more than just comparing numbers. It is, however, insulting when one party starts pulling out random numbers out of nowhere.

That's fine, and it's my right that if my card is on a downswing and i don't want to trade it, then i won't trade it. I didn't want to trade the card. it was in my inventory not on my tradelist. So if he wanted it so bad then he either took my offer or moved on.

Last I checked, I am free to do what I want with my cards, as is he. If i don't want face value for something and he's asking me for it, I don't have to make the trade .

nvm it's not worth it anymore

He's still making nasty comments via private message in that trade window. It's to bad i'm the only one who get's to see your true character.

for the record I only called him semi-retarded. ;p ok sorry i am done, even if he posts more. If you dont want to trade with me paul thats fine, I understand but i figured I was allowed one response on the forums. he seems to have been very active in his story telling.

as far as contacting people, i have sent email via the site every once in a while to someone who seems active but doesnt have any active trades and maybe four out of ten respond back, and maybe two of those try to make a trade happen. low odds but not a complete waste.

Marumari mentions in another thread how difficult it is to filter through all the various people via the reddit group, or via card and I agree that its almost impossible. Honestly I have mostly given up on it and most of my trades lately have been initiated by other people when i seem to have things they want. I have even found myself adding more crazy things to start collecting because not much else I need and got most of the smaller stuff already.

Anyone think that with the new greek themed theros set, people might start coming back? or even a new influx of players? RTR seemed to have brought a fair number of people if my general impression is correct.

He called me names and went overboard. I was nothing but polite to him in my refusals for his offers. I don't care if he thinks his feelings were hurt because he didn't like my counter. It still doesn't give him the right to slander me as a trader. If i'm that out to lunch, people will figure it out on their own. I don't need him mucking up my potential trades even though this sort of garbage doesnt exactly help. At least im safe though because the only people who seem dense in this situation are americans and i don't want to trade with them anyways...

Again, two sides to every story and you both are whining like little girls. BTW all you are doing is (as Paul stated) making the community less and less likely to trade with the both of you. The bad trade forum exists for a reason, keep your drama out of the community forums. Can a mod please close this thread?

I absolutely agree, and joecat was out of line bringing the BTR into this thread in the first place.

mates lets lay this to rest ad call it a day and go our seperate ways. There is never a winner or loser in an argument just two hurt people. So i advise both of you to please stop squabbling or saying "who said what" and "he did this" and lay it to rest.... what good does arguing do on the internet? u cant even see the person or hear them so you might as well close this thread!!!

Have a nice day all! :)

I don't get the point of everyone saying it's over, then someone jumping in an hour later to bump the thread to get it all going again. Letting it die, means letting it die, not resurecting it a few hours later.

then don't respond :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
