I'm sorry, I must be looking at my computer wrong. You want to trade me a 1987 George Brett for a 1967 Wade Blasingame card? Really? I mean, really?
And now I also get a request for a 1983 card for a 1961? Wow. I am left shaking my head, and repeatedly hitting "decline."
How many non-collectors do you think troll the MCG site? Sometimes I think the offers I get are bait from experienced collectors to see if maybe I press the wrong button and say "accept" instead of "decline." It'd have to be a cold day in hell before I'd trade anything for a 1987 Topps card!
I think these guys are like spammers. if they put out 1000 awful trades and 999 get turned down, that one they got made it all worth it. I've gotten to the point where if someone offers me a card that is older than the card they are requesting I'm shocked.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Dayf. I get the same offers from the same people day after day. They just need one person to bite. Since I started my Tradeathon and started accumulating cards, I get somewhere around 250-300 trade offers every day.
