Another site bites the dust.

Before cashing out and my final sign off from Cardsphere, I got the full-court press from someone trying to sell me on "CardTrader."

Anyone know anything about it?  I bring this up because Deckbox also announced it's getting rid of its Marketplace soon.

Lawl.  I guess Cardsphere isn't shutting down after all.

This is kind of frustrating to read after all the talk days after the closing announcement about how they wouldn't be selling to someone else, or that they'd need the right circumstances, etc.  Why not just handle a sale behind the scenes, unless the desperation "we're closing" was meant to boost interest from a buyer.

I wonder how many users they've lost as a result of this.  I'm very reluctant to return after emptying my account and clearing Haves given all the messaging about the shutdown being real.

So dumb.

Anyone back using Cardsphere after its return from the brink of the abyss?

I've slowly been getting back on the platform and doing some sending.  However, I'm noticing a pretty significant drop in the offer % from a lot of people.  I remember seeing some comments in the Discord channel about them collecting tax on packages now, or will be soon.  Is this true, and does that probably explain the % drop in offers?

I had three outgoing packages go missing in december. They don't offer insurance (even though they charge trade fees), so I'm feeling kind of burnt

Yeah, that kinda sucks, but it's really more of a post office issue. The post office mega sucks these days
