It's not charity. There is no such thing as a "fair trade" sure in a vacuum things can be fair but with the every changing market what's fair today may not be to Oreos. That being said, I'm not looking for ANY charity. If someone is willing to make a deal they are doing it because they believe it meets their needs too. Obviously you would not be a good partner for what I am trying to achieve. I know if I had a card with 10 and I didn't want it, and someone had a card worth 8... of my card wasn't as liquid, I'd have no problem making a swap knowing I got rid of a tough sell and got what I want. Not trying to convince you. There's no one sayi we have to trade. |

You did say you wanted a card that is 'worth more' |

Psa 10 of a hi number with a small small market which may not sell well at auction. It to the right buyer is a 900 dollar card. But that buyer may not come for a year. Opportunity cost with what will even the trade out. |
A Problem Solver
1) Start with a 69 Mantle
Trade for a 68 Mantle Then trade for a 67 Mantle .....................................' then trade for a 53 Mantle and finally trade for a 52 Mantle. 2) Start a thread requesting 17 volunteers to participate in Step 1) 3) Complete 17 trades. Problem solved. I will accept your T205 WaJo in exchange for this advice.:eek: |

Damn I wanted this to be fun but a few people who have already posted on here rain on most of my threads. It's okay. Offer up. Not looking for charity. If you want the card and wanna unload something it'll be easy. Here's an example. Yesterday at the show . I had a binder of 80 low grade star cards with a trade in value of maybe 75. Traded 5 cards for a 54 ex oc billly Martin. Then traded the Martin and rest of the binder for a 66 mantle VG raw (he had triples) Then traded that mantle for a 55 banks raw ex and 66 Koufax raw ex (he needed a mantle) Then finally traded that for a psa 5 maris RC. (He had 2) Trades don't have to be fair if they make sense. That's my point. |

I hate to be "that guy" but isn't it WaJo? And that is a really pretty WaJo or WoJo depending on the answer to this. Good luck on the 52 Mantle quest. I need one for my set.............

1) I am sure you didn't go to each person telling them you are willing to trade for anything as long as it was "Just something I can trade that is worth more than what I am offering here." 2) You worked in quantities as many people suggested over attempting a 1:1 trade. There are several times I have traded and was the benefactor of the better end, but I didn't go into it telling the other person that was my objective and they should keep that in mind before attempting the trade. Also I am sure I have been on the other side where I left something on the table, but again that other person didn't leave me feeling like I got the worse end of the deal. |

lol I actually did. I was forth coming. I said hey I have this mantle I will take whatever you want to get rid of that you don't think you can move easily as long as it's worth more than this mantle. Dealers actually said they liked the fact I wasn't wasting their time and we worked together to find a card they didn't mind getting rid of. Trade don't have to be fair if they make sense. |
