The ultimate trade up

[Bpm0014]

I've now made my 3rd and 4th trade/sale with Stephen (Cy Young and Chief Bender T206) and I've been happy every single time. I got rid of a few things that I no longer needed and received 4 T206s that I needed to complete my set. I had zero problem giving up (real life example) $233 in trade for a $200 card that I needed. And every single transaction (after some major bartering via text!) went as smoothly as can be.

Thats the sweat equity situation. I used to do that back in the day for modern cards. We would look at the price guide and i would give 30 cards (heck probably do 50-75 cards now) that were supposively 5 cents a piece and trade it for 1 card for $1.00. Id do that all day.

OK, we have been listening to all of you people who don't like this thread, and to all of you who think Steven is a crook, and to all of you who think the concept is stupid. You have all given your opinions, so now maybe you should all ignore this thread and let the people who are interested enjoy watching the trade up.

You won't be adding anything new by complaining. I think we have heard it all by now. I am interested in seeing how this works out, but I am not interested in all of the arguing.

And this is exactly what I said would happen. Not all trades are judged solely on a monetary exchange. Sometimes needs are more important than money.
