I have a general comment, pertaining to trading. I see these posts about 3 or
4 times a week about people who want to trade for cards. That in itself is a
good thing. But as of recently i have been e-mailing these people who are
looking to trade cards and they don't repley back to the e-mails. My basic
quam here is, why even waste space with postings about cards for trade? 4
times in the past week or so i have contacted people privatley(like you're
supposed to do) and they have (Deleted my mail). The Subject line was quite
clear "E-mailing about shadowrun cards for trade/sale". I just wanted to
make this known, if you aren't serious about trading then don't post. I
defintley would like to say i have had two good expireances trading. I just
find it irratating that when you see a card that you want/need, people end up
blowing you off. Well that's all i have to say, i just wanted my voice to be
known.

Good points, Ryan. I might also add that any offer is worth a reply,
weither you accept the deal *or not*. When you make a deal and the other
trader proposes a counter deal, you expect him/her to *at least* reply
you a positive/negative answer.

Most of the traders will keep cards on hold till the other reply him an
answer. Some of those cards *might interest you*, but are on hold for
one/two weeks because someone didn't reply a "sorry, not interested".
Does that sound familiar to some of you ?? It does to me, and I missed
more than one deal because of that.

<Sigh>. Well, that felt good. See ya.

This also happened to me lately. If you send a public offer, the least you can do
is to reply to people who e-mailed you. It's just a matter of savoir-faire.

so long

I have to agree with Ryan. I have E-mailed people who were selling or
trading and/or just asking a question and they haven't replied. This is
grossly rude and those people would get more for there rudeness were
they in close proximaty. Reply to us people. We take the time to read
you mail...all of it. So be nice.
