Trading Lingo

Just want to clarify because either people can't read or I'm doing something wrong...

[H] is what I have and willing to trade, [W] is what I want in return, right?

[Spawn of Totoro]

Correct.

However, some may still try to add to the trade when using trade offers, even if it is something you don't intend to trade.

OK, that's fine. I just wanted to make sure.

I put up some emoticon trading posts up last night before I went to bed and wake up with 5 trade offers all wanting my cards (I only need ONE to complete the final set, as well, so obviously they are not for trade), so I wasn't sure if I did something wrong or just people can't read.

Thanks!

Yeah, some people just completely ignore what you post. Get used to it.

I also got a rather interesting offer at one time, that did actually use my request, but only to put similar looking cards into the offer... which I didn't notice at first, I was merely wondering about that strange trade offer that seemed to have very little in common with what I posted. Until I noticed the similarity of the images...

At other times, people don't quite get the concept of keeping values comparable -- like when I want to trade cards x for y, I don't mean "foil x for normal y". I don't mean "foil x for foil y" either, but that usually isn't offered anyway.

Yeah, I'm noticing that trend and that's just my second batch of trading requests I've gotten... lovely.

Also watch out for people who put [W] stuff before their [H] stuff. Typically, [H] goes first, but...

That wouldn't matter. I've done it both way.
