Help me with my trading woes!!!!!!

[themike]

I have been trying to trade the following pieces and other stuff for a few days now. I have recieved like 75 pm's for the stuff. I have only traded two pieces to two different people. For the most part, though, I have recieved a hardcore serving of some of the stupidest trade offers imagaineable. If they were not ridiculous offers, they were wretchedly one sided. Certainly, mind you not for me. I don't want to rip people off or one side for myself. I dont really want that much for the stuff. Why can I not get a offer on anything without being forced to lose my ### and accept some dumb offers.

I'll give examples:

Here is the big stuff I had to offer. Its just a few of what I put on, but check this out!!!!!

Victor Creed IC
Bruce Banner IC
Blastaar of Baluur
Ned Leeds
Hal Jordan
S&D Johnny Alpha
Dr Doom LE

This was classic:

How about Simon Williams straight up for Hal Jordan

KC Superman for Victor Creed and Blastaar

Nimrod for Creed

Banner and Creed for Harvey Dent, Bat Sentry, and Ultrahumanite

Nightcrawler for Ned Leeds, Bruce Banner, Hal Jordan, and Wolverine FF

Constant. Over 70 pm's. 65 of them are like this. I figured people would want this stuff. They do. They wont give up any value for it. I dont understand, why cant I get rid of them!!!!!!

I think people a opportunists by nature. What do they have to lose if they make a bad offer and you reject it? But, if you accept it... You just never know.

KC Superman for Victor Creed and Blastaar

Nimrod for Creed


those two are bad.......................why?

you may be losing a bit on value but your gaining alot on playability.

If you're getting THAT many bad PM's, then why not make it a little clearer what you're looking for? Like, "KC Superman and one other Unique off my wants list for Victor Creed," or something like that. A lot of the old super-valuable LE's are dropping in value as they're given away like candy at cons; Atom, Pharzoof, Irene Adler were all being handed out at one convention or another, so it's not like the old IC ones you've got are guaranteed to be worth what they're used to. Plus, you're probably getting people in who haven't been playing long and aren't aware that the IC LE's you've got are super-valuable compared to today's big money getters like Nimrod and KC Superman. They certainly aren't the peak of playability in comparison.

So in short, if you don't like the offers you're getting, then come right out and tell people what you're looking for. The offers may drop off altogether, but at least you won't be insulted by them any more, right?

That makes sense. I put a pretty good sized want list down so I could give people options. I understand that not everyone knows the value of them. Thats not the point. I know that alot of the people sending offers new full well the value. I wanted everyone to have them, not just the super collectors. Thats why I put a big wants list. That way everyone gets a shot at it. Not just the guys with the huge pieces ( which apparently you could not pry from their cold, dead fingers!). I know not everone has the Janes and KC stuff. I get that. I just want a hint of fairness, thats all.
I'll trade the big guys for small stuff, but not for two or three pieces where Harvey Dent headlines.

Oh, and Shazaam, if you like I'll trade a $25-30 Nimrod to you anyday for a $75 Victor Creed whenever you like. I'll even throw in Harvey Dent! J/K

i would easily do it for superman! since, according to websites supes is worth $69.99, and is way better than victor creed.
