There are to be no trades involving incoming cards

[11chaos]

Here at SCF we are noticing a trend beginning to happen more and more. That of cards being traded that the trader doesn't have in there possesion yet. What I am saying is that the trader has cards incoming from an ebay buy or another trade and they are already trading it. It is okay to say you have it incoming but not to make a trade agreement in the manager until you have it in your possesion.

A rehash of the rules;
1) Cards must be sent in a toploader (or better quality card holder).

2) Cards must be sent within 3 days of the agreement (Unless send first requirements are agreed to in the trade)

3) Traders must state the condition of the card if it is not NM or better.

4) Members with over 10 SCF feedback (with no negatives) may automatically request a new member with no feedback send first.

5) Traders should clarify exactly how the card is being shipped before completing the trade.

6) Traders should post the agreement of the trade on the thread it originated or as a post in the appropriate trading forum.


If you are having problems with a trade/trader:

1) Use all means necessary to work the problem out with the trader.

2) If the trader can not be reached for communication wait at least 5 days after the card should have arrived before taking any further action.

3) After 5 days contact a member of the moderator team about the situation. (You may leave negative feedback if you deem it necessary).

4) The moderator team will address the issue to help complete the trade or ensure the situation doesn't arise in the future.

Note: In order to have your trades worked by the Leadership team please use the trade manager once you've found a person to trade with.

I see that all the time, seems strange to buy cards only to trade them right away. I really don't understand the whole trade while it's incoming thing......why the heck do people buy or trade for something that they don't want to keep?? Blows my mind!!

Man they give you a title and the power goes to your head! Im totaly kidding of course. You dont know how many times I get involved in a PM trade and its all set then the guys says well I should have it in a week or so. It drives me crazy! Im not sure if you did this in baseball as well but if not would you please.

Thank you!

How does anyone make a trade if all they own is cards they want???? I am VERY confused as to how a trade would ever get completed. I buy cards a lot to trade later, I have never tried to trade it until after I have gotten it though just to make sure it is in a condition I am comfortable sending to someone else. I guess I am glad people buy/trade for cards they don't want so then they can trade them to me for the ones I bought or traded for that I don't want!!!
