Hi Everyone!!!
Once you have traded all of the coupons in a thread, please edit the title to read DELETE so that a moderator can remove it and make more room on the first pages for others. Please remember that you must ask to have your threads deleted in order to make room for new ones.
You may bump up your thread every 24 hours if you would like.
Happy Trading!!!
AKOJ

Just some courtesy reminders....
Please respond to one anothers's PMs. It doesn't take long to respond "no thanks" or "busy now, will write later" or SOMETHING..so your fellow member doesn't keep holding on and waiting for your response.
Mail within 24-48 hours. Simple, if you are too busy to trade today and can't mail within the next day or so, don't trade now. Trading ettiquette dictates a prompt mailing. The only exception is if you have agreed beforehand that the trade will go out late
Don't hold your end. (unless you have cleared it with your recipient), it is the sign of a bad trader. Most experienced traders will decline a trade before they will agree to having you hold their end. Doing so without permission, will simply cause you to lose great future trades.
Include your member name somewhere on the trade. In the envie, on it, trading slip, something...so they know who it is from.
I am sure there are many more, just thought now that the trading board seems more active would be a good time for a gentle reminder.

I hope people dont't think I am ungrateful but I would like to add something to this post. I would like that members please pay closer attention to specifics listed when people are ISO things. I have experienced this myself as well as heard it from many other members.
Example:
Someone is looking for $1/1 Edge Shaving Cream
Someone sends them $.75/1
If your store doubles $1 then they lost out on an extra $.50 savings. Same thing in a vice versa situation. My store would double the $.75 but not the $1

I think that is great advice! I have gotten coupons that were not what I had requested and the other party would make me feel like it was my fault for not wanting what they sent me rather than theirs for not sending what I requested. Not that anyone here would do that, of course!
