Deckbox.org

I joined DeckBox.org in the hopes of finding a bigger trading base, and so far it has been. I am not going to write a critical review of the site, nor a how-to use it. Not my intent. I just want to give some impressions and things I have learned. In my typical fashion, it comes via a bulleted list!

Result of largest trade to date

• Read a trader's profile, it will help
• Trust is earned
• Don't be afraid to ask questions
• Be honest and accurate with your card grading
• People love free stuff, and in my case foil proxies
• Largest trade to date- $80
• I've lost things in the mail, even with tracking
• I am still trying to sort out one right now
• Keeping LGS trades straight vs on-line availability has come down to me taking photos of cards I am trading away to sort out later at home
• Offers will be rejected for many reasons, don't be offended
• Don't feel offended for rejecting someone's trade
• On-line trades almost always want lightly played cards or better, your LGS friends likely don't care as much
• Be sure to poke about in the other person's trade list, you might find something else you are interested in
• The initial entry for your trade list can be daunting
• I've culled A LOT of cards from my trade list
• I'll likely never get most of the cards on my trade list

Would I recommend deckbox? Heck yes. Be patient, be respectful, and be a good trader.
