I consider the supply/demand ratio far more important than cost on a fair trade.

NOTICE: cost, price and value of an asset are very different animals. If you don't know the difference (or even if you think you know it), this article may be of help [keydifferences.com].

So, for games on similar tier the supply/demand ratio H:W --expressed as the number of people who have (H) a game for trade and those who want it (W)-- is of outermost importance.

I love to trade games. I do it for the fun of it: meet new people all over the world, chat every now and then, get updated on latest events, make efforts to understand each other with a non-native speaker, even try new languages via Google Translator, and... What else? Oh, yes, also to get rid of duplicate or crappy games and try new ones. Your crap may be other people's dreamed toy and vice versa.

The community built around traders is like Facebook but with people you will very likely never meet or see a real photo of. It's like becoming a millionaire in Monopoly, where it only matters to those who also played the game.

But trading is ultimately not about the money or the objects being traded, but about trust. The one you build for you and the one you learn to appreciate in others. You never know who the person behind the keyboard on the other side actually is. For instance, nobody suspects I'm a real dog . That's trust. Earn it and you will succeed.

*** HAPPY TRADING! ***
