Only one page of trade lists.

I remember having to look through 12 or more pages to see what was being traded and if I needed it. I still prefer dvd over streaming. It is sad that trading has slowed down so much.

On the other hand, it's much easier to score SASE on Share the Wealth. Blame it on streaming.

Wow, that's crazy! I haven't visited the trade forum in a long time. Sometimes it was too hard to coordinate a good trade and then sometimes I'd have trader's remorse! Plus the combination of VF Roost and Share the Wealth just made it easier to buy/sell or obtain a DVD sometimes.

I think they are removed after a while (don't know the reasons).
My trade list disapeared and I had to repost it.

Yeah our lists will fall off after a while. I noticed that too. I'm not sure how long they stay up.
I miss the pages of exchanges. Yes I guess streaming is putting a damper on things. It was always fun just to see all the fun workouts people had or wanted.

I also really like trading. It's fun. Sigh....

I used to do lots of trading but I’ve gone pretty much to streaming & downloads. Part of the reason is portability as I go between two locations regularly & I travel a lot. I still have a bunch of DVDs I’m giving away, the pics of them are in my profile if any one wants any. Many are Pilates, and there’s a variety of yoga, strength & cardio. It’s best shipping $ value to put 3 or 4 in one case. I’ve shipped up to 12 for $10 USD.

Another one here who misses trading and still tries to as much as possible. It's a great way to try new stuff and get rid of dust collectors.

I think it's fun too. Trouble is that everyone either has or doesn't want what I'm offering! Or they're not willing to trade what I'm looking for. LOL!

I now understand why no one wanted to part with 4 Day Split. It was on my wish list forever and I finally bought it on the Deal of the Day plus 25% off bundle. I wouldn't trade it either!

I agree that it's a great way to try new workouts that I might not normally try and to get rid of ones I haven't done in awhile.

I use to enjoy trades, but it seems more and more that people wanted something brand new but only wanted to trade something kind of old.

I used to scan the list on almost a daily basis. I used to trade a lot. Now I pretty much just keep what I have. Of course I don't buy a lot anymore either. I do more streaming now, free stuff on YouTube, and TBL.
