    Is it just me or.........................

    Is it just me or does anybody else have the problem of people asking only for their PC cards? I have a Walter Payton game used, grossman/singletary/berrian autographs all numbered to less than 100, but the only cards that people like are the PC cards. If I took the sayers or singletary auto patches out of my PC would people still go straight for my PC. I wonder if half of "these" people even look over my tradelist or just go straight to the PC. I bet if I put a Jim Miller (he's a bum) rookie card in my PC somebody would ask for it on a trade. I'm asking for $20 Berrian autos, Bradley autos, $50 Benson autos, but the only thing I have that "these" people like is a $120 PC card. I have even tried putting a "don't ask" and "NFT" symbol next to them. I could get over it if it was just one trader, but there are lots of them. Its a waste of my time to tell them I like 7 of there bears rookies that total $20 in book value if they ask for a $20 auto from my PC in return. What ever happened to collecting certain teams and players? I honestly think that some people are making a living on here gouging people (especially new traders) of there cards just to sell them on Ebay. Even though "these" people will probably never read this..........YOU"RE NOT GETTIN EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just dont list em. If you dont wanna trade em, dont show people ya have em. Thats why I dont list my pc. People would be all over it. PC is typically everyones high end or most valued cards, which interests most people.

    I understand what you are saying, but two weeks ago some of my "trade" cards were in my PC and people were asking for them, now that I have new PC cards, they don't want the ones they used to like anymore, now they want the nicer ones.
    Alot of people have PC links to show off their stuff.........but it is lookin like I will have to remove my entire PC section. Thanks for your input viking

    Truthfully, the only problems I have really are the times i see a Dre Bly rookie or Dennis Northcutt I dont have, and I reply with "Check my website for this one" and I have 1,000s of my wesbite I am proud of the time and effort I put into it every, and people only respond with ====

    "Only thing I could use is your Peyton Manning or Ben Roethlesberger or Cadillac Williams rookies"

    that makes me wretch

    You could try making a photobucket Nick. That way, you can put a NFT Heading, and just show off the pics. Im sure it wont eliminate all from asking, but ya never know. Sometimes, Ill ask say they want a card of mine. And theyll say check my site. And if I like things other than just there pc, Ill list that pc card and be like "and if your willing to part with .... ). Not even all my pc is untouchable. Theres a few. Or maybe, just put a PC list you could trade for the right offer.

    this is why I don`t bother trading cards.

    If you don`t want to remove your PC from being listed in your pages, then just put a price tag on them(full book value)and only say they are for sale and NOT trade. Someone pays you for it I`m sure you will always be able to buy another one with the full BV you get.

    If I was still set building, then I would look to trade, but I really don`t have anything to trade. It`s just easier to use PayPal for any card(s) I may want/need.

    i hate whan you post up what you want and some one replies hey have this but either it's not for trade or you don't have anything i need. i understand that i don't have alot of cards everyone needs and i respect that. but if you have alreadt checked my site and i don't have anything you need or your not selling, why bother telling me you have it, but i ain't getting it.

    The solution to all of this: Don't list your Personal Collection. Viola!

    Way too many people mix their Personal Collection into their tradelist and then get pissed when someone asks for a PC card. Don't put your PC up anywhere or they'll continue to ask... you put them out there like you want to trade them. If you must have them somewhere don't put PC cards anywhere near your tradelist.

    It's nobody's fault but yours. When you post a link to pictures but don't tell us what they are we assume they're for trade.

    Yeah, I am working on the photobucket thing, I usually tell people to check my trade list cuz I only have a few cards on the photobucket, still, you don't tell me the only thing you need is my $120 sayers auto when I am inquiring about a $20 urlacher non auto rookie, you actually don't need the sayers at all, you just wanna trade me a bunch of $20 cards for it so you can trade it for something nice or sell it.
