trades
Thought provoking topic that is near and dear to my heart. I just attended
a local show yesterday and I bought from, and traded with, different dealers. Some observations: 1) On net54, I don't typically reach out to someone for a trade until their card has had a chance to sell. I'll politely inquire if the person would consider trading, and ask if they'd look at a list. 2) I am mildly surprised when people refuse to look at a trade list out of hand. Trading has always been one of the most popular and available ways to obtain material. The typical objection- "I only want to sell"- makes sense. It doesn't make much sense, however, to refuse even to look at a trade list that may contain better cards to sell(!). Help me, help you. There's no down side to looking at a list, the worst the other person can say is, "I'm not interested in anything on the list". 3) Just as dealers "only want to sell", there are times when a collector only wants to trade. Perhaps the collector already has an example of the card in question, or the card is outside their normal collecting focus but the collector was just attracted to it. I've often found it's useful to have "pigeon bait" when I'm trading- Mantle, Clemente, Aaron, nice looking T206- the stuff many dealers automatically acknowledge. I think Adam mentioned above, that many collectors desire a specific card over common popular cards, and will trade accordingly. It also helps to offer some cash in a trade scenario, to make it more palatable to the other person. 4) There are some wonderful, fair, willing traders on net54. It's my pleasure to know them and to enjoy this hobby with them. Trent King

I wonder if
1. Some if it is for tax reasons 2. Some of the cash plus trade is because people are either not as liquid with inflation or bought so much they have a lot tied up in cards more than they thought or budgeted for Either way I also prefer trades I like to have a card in hand vs cash(even though you can use cash to buy a card but if the card does not come up that you want many spend it else where)
