Bottom line? There are some really putrid tapes out there. If it's a matter of effectiveness or esthetic appeal, let it go on the list. (Someone recently wanted a tape that I admitted provided no real workout at all.) If it's a matter of egregious safety violations, trash it. |

I don't do a lot of trading (I usually sell at Ya Yas or half.com), but I answer everyone within 24 hours. If I get a trade offer for something I want, but I don't want that one as much as another one, then I wait those 24 hours to see if someone offers what I really want. If so, I'm honest with the first person and thank them for the offer, but say I traded it for something else.
It is a little upsetting when someone offers you something (or offers to buy something) and then backs out, since I've often passed up other deals because of it. Okay, it's more than a little upsetting ! I do think that's because that person got a better deal somewhere else. One thing that's really important to me -- making sure an exchange list is up to date. If you trade something, remove it from your list ! |

What bothers me the very most about the whole trading situation, is when you email or pm someone about a trade, and they never respond at all, or you get a response from them 4 or 5 days later. I don't mind waiting 24 hours for a response, but even a response that the item is already traded is greatly appreciated.
This has only happened to me once or twice. I have had so many GREAT trades. |

I really appreciate the traders who respond all requests, positively or negatively. At least, you know you need to search a little more and won't miss a good trade because you don't know if your tapes are pending or not. The trade section is a treasure, I know I wouldn't have been able to try so many instructors and workouts without this way : being overseas, I can't find good exercise videos here and ordering from US is sometimes such a hassle ( and most firms charge prohibiting shippings ). Thanks for all the great trades and SASE and gifts I had ! Emmanuelle |

I don't think it's necessary to go by first-come-first serve only. IMO, that just gives an advantage to people who happen to visit the listings at the right time or who have time to check more often. I usually wait until the offers come in and pick the best trade, especially with high demand items.
