I agree with the idea, but UD makes that really hard. It's a lot of work to lock all those cards. The screens don't let you do it all quickly.

This^^^^
I get that a lot of people are on there trading, trying to build a larger inventory.... it can almost be like "mining" cards.
If someone gives me 10 I want, and I send them back 11 I don't want, I don't have a problem with that.
Someone wants a premium for their Stars? Okay. Makes sense. The rookies? I understand that too.
I want to collect a scrub player off the Oilers, and you expect me to either give you 2:1 or a Star for your common? Forget it.
I don't understand why some people think their cards are somehow worth more than everyone else's.

I still absolutely love ePack, but it's certainly an interesting case study.
In this case, it's probably a combination of supply/demand economics and what others are willing to pay. If you're not willing to give two, but someone else is, it's smarter to hold off and make the trade for two. Right, wrong or indifferent, it's just reality.
I feel like I've helped out a lot of fellow collectors on ePack. But at the same time, I don't make trades just to make them. Some folks make me offers for cards, but the cards aren't anything that I have a use for. A trade really should work out for both parties. An example is someone sending a trade asking for 10 Oilers or Canadiens cards, and offering me 10 Coyotes or Ducks (that I have no use for) in return. Why in the world would I clear out that many cards of an in-demand team without getting something I need or want in return? It's no different than trading physical cards. Sure, you may want a McDavid that I have up for trade on SCF, but if you don't have something I desire in return, I'm not going to trade just to trade. It's not a big deal, it just comes along with the territory of our hobby.
It doesn't upset me or anything, just makes me laugh. I typically counter for cards on my wish list (which they should have looked at anyway) and most of the time that offer is denied. That's fine, I understand.
It's also just a product of not many new packs being opened and MOST have accomplished their trading goals. I'm not making as many trades, but the ones that I am making all move me toward an end goal. It should be that way for both parties involved.

Its a bit easier if youre collecting a team. You can filter down all unlocked cards to a certain team & certain product and then click lock allTrading for Steelers,Penguins,Pirates and Michigan players in Michigan uni

Yeah, I agree it can be. But it only has to be done once. And if one person is asking for a card, chances are other people may ask for it later (except for that one weird Curtis McKenzie collector... ) But there is nothing more frustrating than the jackoff that says in chat, "all my cards are for trade," then you spend your time creating an offer, and he comes back and says, "Sorry, I am only trading my dupes" or something to that affect.

The other day, I offered an Oilers fan a Draisaitl for his Crosby. He wrote me back a nasty little comment and BLOCKED me. You'd think as an Oilers fan he would know that is the most accumulated card on the site. I can understand him declining the trade, but to get nasty and BLOCK me for one trade, that was a bit overblown. Maybe it was past his bedtime on a school night or something.

I'm going for Sebastian Aho (Not in series one) and Pavel Zacha in 16-17 Compendium.
Thanks, Steve
