Hi James,
I think that the most important facet to trading is that both parties are happy with the trade after it has been made. When I started out, I made a couple of trades in which, after reflecting, I was really taken by the people I traded with. In fact, one guy went through my book of traders at a meeting, took out the chips he wanted while pocketing two of my most valuable chips in the process. I was unaware of the theft until I got home and counted the empty spaces. So be cautious, watch your inventory, take your time, and feel good about the outcome before you close a deal. You should note values, catalog #'s, etc. so you are aware of what you are trading.

Welcome...Ron
