i used to be annoyed by having to post a trade, then i realized that it doesnt even take 30 seconds... and yah principle is principle and sometimes the other person should post the trade, but im not even going to spend the time thinking of who should post it, ive gotten the hang of it, it takes me 12 seconds - 30 seconds... i had to get over it, now i dont mind either way.... and the tape thing is also annoying, i always want to use those plastics again but cant, and i always try peeling off the tape and fail... lol but i did a deal with "iambillymadison" and he sent me a damaged card, upside down in the top loader, and it became damaged even more because of how it was placed in the loader... oh and it even had tape... card i paid 200 bucks for... whats it even doing in a top loader anyways? any card above 100-150 should be in a one touch if you ask me, anyways once that happens to you, you will no longer care about the plastic cases... only the card inside.

you want annoying? how about when people offer you a trade when your end of the deal sells for literally double what theirs does... or when people ask you to check their bucket, and its in shambles and you scrabble through it trying to figure it out only to discover they have nothing even remotely close in value to the card they are asking about... or when they tell you they are interested in 30 cards and would like prices on them, refuse to make any offers to help speed up the process, and you give them honest and fair ebay prices and they are no longer interested... these are all real pains, and when you deal with all of them on a regular basis, you wont care about posting a trade, or any sticky plastic cases where you have to fail trying to pull the tape off. lol anyways, just my 2 cents...

happy trading :D

On the "principal" matter, why exactly does it matter who posts it? Is it just the annoyance of typing some stuff in or...?

lol kapital were you spying on me? i went through all of that last night trying to trade. well no damaged card, but you know what i mean.

wickabee, to me it bugs me because im purchasing something, in card for card trades i have no issue with posting.

and rgm81 i actually lol'd at that, well played

principle, as in, it might be considered good trading etiquette that if you were the one to seek out the trade, and your the main motivation to the trade happening, or if you did most of the work to make the trade happen, then you should/shouldn't have to take the reins and do the work of posting the trade, but i mean there's no definitive way to decide who does it, and like i said, i don't care either way, its not even an annoyance to me... I got over it along time ago.

What irritates me is when I complete a trade I got to the trade manager and complete the trade leave a new trader rating but the other person is to lazy to leave you a new trade rating.

So it's just the annoyance of taking the 30 seconds and only when you're buying? Forgive me if I still don't understand what the problem is. Maybe look at it as trading paypal for cards and it won't bother you?

So true about the "look at my bucket" it almost never fails when I am told to do this they don't have anything tagged by team or player so its impossible to search it without looking at every image in their bucket....I wish people would take the time to swith over to the inventory here on the site so easy to search for what you want..... but that's a whole other topic lol

There are far more important other things in the world to get bent out of shape.

Honestly if you get so annoyed and mad about sports cards, I doubt that is your only problem.

I post almost every thing I do in trade manager b/c I get things done, rather than complain that someone else doesn't do it for me.

The tape thing comes up all the time, who freakin' cares. I have a box full of taped up toploaders of all sizes and a box of brand new shiny toploaders, what else am I going to do with the taped up toploaders. They are just for shipping. If you're buying a card or trading the only thing you should worry about is if the card comes to you in good condition. Toploaders are cheap, why cry about it.
