hello,
   
    i'm new to deckbox but not to online trading. while i'm primarily interested in trading for eternal staples i'm willing to consider all offers.

    i tend to prefer larger trades(over $50) as materials and shipping can add up quickly. i ship using sleeves, top loaders, bubble mailers, and tracking. i ask that you do the same. to me the added cost is worth keeping the cards(and everyone involved) a little safer.

    if i have cards you want but you don't have anything from my wishlist please submit a trade proposal anyway. i'm happy to look through your trade list and try to work something out. while i'm not adverse to trading down i will ask for added value in return.***i base the value of a trade on current market prices not on future speculative prices***

    condition matters to me. even though i mention it in every trade i still get cards that are not in the condition indicated. i use http://www.blackborder.com/cgi-bin/customscripts/help/condition.cgi as a condition guide. by trading with me you agree to use that as your standard.

    finally, if you're not interested in a trade at least have the courtesy to say "no, thank you" and cancel. please don't leave the trade open and ignore my messages.

    thank you for taking the time to read through my profile. i look forward to trading with you.

UPDATE: i routinely ask for simulsend from more established traders and i don't mind offering it if your rating is close to mine(or if we've traded before), but i'm tired of agreeing to or discussing a trade with a new user(10 or less feedback) and they have an issue with sending first because they don't trust me. i know it sucks. i had to send first when i started, as did just about everyone else. that's how it is until you establish yourself. if you are new here(or have any negative feedback) and are unwilling to send first please don't waste my time.
