Why don't we trade more?

I moved this from the BST area because it's sort of a general question. I like to trade but it's hard to find things equivalent to trade for....plus maybe I always want the better end of the deal, which doesn't do well for the other party involved .

I'm trying to trade a rare card right now in the BST! I normally don't do trades just because scans are a pain to get out to people. I have a wireless scanner that likes to sync up to other computers in the house, so sometimes I give up(fairly quick) before ever sending a scan. So blame it on my slutty scanner. Heck, the card I'm trying to trade today only went up because I already had a scan. If I didn't, it wouldn't be going anywhere until a very patient day arrived.

You've got to give something to get something.

My cards have too much sentimental value, when I have had them a long time, so my valuations of them are probably too high. I have done a few trades, which did work well, but not too many. I would trust our BST for trades more than almost anywhere else. So we do have a good venue for it.

In my one successful BST trade, I'm pretty sure that the other member got the better end of the deal in terms of value. I was still happy with the trade nonetheless because it meant getting a card I needed without coming up with the cash!

Maybe there is more trading going on than you realize. I probably do a trade a month, whether I need to or not - the interaction with other board members is good and adds to the whole 'Net 54 package'.
