After working out a trade with a board member (quite easily I might add), I began to wonder why we don't trade more. Granted, my niche is SGC 40 T206s common backs which are plentiful for sure, and there's a vast amount of sales data that can help out. Yet there has been fairly little trading that I'm aware of. I understand it's tough with items that have lower populations or are superior grades or issues that are exceedingly rare, but with the lower grade T206 community, what gives?
So, I can think of a few reasons:
- I don't have any inventory to trade
- No one has anything I need
- I have to make sure I get the better end of the deal
- The other guy wants to get the better end of the deal
- Shipping cards for trade is cost prohibitive
Anything else? I'm definitely curious...
