With the end of Currency Series 1 approaching, it's clear people are going to be posting to request trades/sales to help complete their sets. The Mod team has decided in the best interests of this community, to create a reputation thread to keep track of these exchanges. This thread's main purpose is to help these exchanges go smoothly and give people peace of mind when trading with other members.
When a trade is confirmed, we will go to both users and give them a flair with a number indicating confirmed trades (Trades: 1). These flairs will help users notice those that have higher reputation and make them feel safer when trading with them.
You should always be making your transactions through PayPal G&S or via eBay sales but if for some reason you don’t do that, this system is designed to help give you an idea of who to trust.
We highly recommend to always be as cautious as possible during these exchanges.
-
Each user should be able to provide the other with clear photos of both sides of the card(s) prior to the sale, even including their Reddit username physically written somewhere in the photo(s).
-
It's recommended for all trades to start within a WTB/WTS/WTT post, negotiations can be done via Chat/Messages but the more public the info, the better.
-
Once done negotiating, while the trade is pending, make a comment referencing what cards are involved in the sale within the Sale/Trade post. This will help prevent one user from possibly scamming multiple people for the same trade.
-
Exchange tracking number(s) upon package(s) being sent. These are just paper cards, PACKAGE THEM WELL!! USPS is know for bending envelopes, sender is always responsible for the package until it arrives safely to the receiver so make use of those Top Loaders, Hard Cases and extra layers of protective cardboard/packaging around them. Shipping Insurance for higher valued cards ALWAYS recommended.
-
The more documentation the better, even if that means taking a video while opening package(s) for your own records. Best practice would be to include a clear shot of the mailing label and keeping the package/contents on screen the entire time.
-
Post here once trade is completed so the Mod team can confirm a positive trade.
The Bitcointalk forum is a great resource to use too starting out, being how everyone is starting with zero trades here. Some collectors have been on that forum for awhile and have built up there already that you can use to help determine the safety of your trade. If someone claims to have a username on Bitcointalk with merit, please confirm it is them by exchanging messages with them via that forum prior to sale. We also have a , feel free to utilize that and exchange profiles there if that makes both parties more comfortable with a low score trade.

When a mod has finished adding your trade to your flair, they will comment, "added."
If you had a trade go wrong, please also post that trade info below and include any link to a sale post. The Mod team will do their best to contact you and assess each situation accordingly but if each user followed the recommended steps above, it should make the process easier. Any user found to be in the wrong will be given a Warning Score (Warn: 1) next to their Trade Score or if found to be scamming will be given a subreddit ban, on a case by case basis. The main goal of the Mod team is to make this subreddit a safe place for all users to interact and trade freely.
*Please ONLY use this thread to post completed trades, not comments, since the Mod team gets alerts for it. If you have any comments/suggestions for this thread, please express them .*
