Just a little manners reminder to trade partners

When I read the title of this thread I thought it was going to be about Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich

So who do you think got the better deal in that trade ?

Obviously Peterson. To my knowledge he and Kekich's ex-wife married and are still together. I think Kekich and Peterson's ex-wife never got married and split after a few months or maybe a couple years. They both lost in regards to baseball. Kekich didn't have the record Peterson did before the swap, was horrible after the swap, and was out of baseball within a year. Peterson had been successful prior to the trade but didn't do much afterwards. Because of the life swap? Who's to say.

Man when I think I know everything about baseball history a comment like this takes me on a Google adventure. Of course I would have heard about it when the movie came out, but I had no idea this ever had happened.

I'm bumping this back to the top for several reasons.

The OP made SEVERAL good points and they should be followed. In my recent selling spree the ration on NOT receiving a pm to receiving one is about 3:1 and that's ridiculous. A simple "no thank you" goes a long ways. I spend time writing individual descriptions and pricing things out individually. I also offer to hold sales sometimes until I hear back but that is my fault and will stop that practice. This nonchalant attitude about responding sucks and I have had NO problems with newbies...these are members that have been here at least 6 months.

Rant over, return a pm.
