Title: Signature list of trades/wants
Post by: slinkyturd on May 22, 2014, 03:29:40 PM
I am toying with the idea of making my signature a list of what I have for trades and what I am hunting for. Just wondering 2 things.

1: Is anyone going to take notice?

2: Anyone going to do the same?

I kind of like the idea of just seeing a post by someone or someone seeing my post and knowing right away if he or I have the potential for a deal. Any thoughts on it?

I suppose the limit of characters doesn't help but short of 2 games (magical chase and world court tennis) I was able to fit all the american hucards I need and all my obey trade bait into the sig below. I suppose all trade bait (I have plenty of non-obey trade bait) or all wants might work better

This idea seems like something the turd of a slinky would do.  It's bad enough I slapped an eternal shameless plug on my signature.  Now that I've brought it to people's attention, I might be smite down and banished.

Members in the past have done it and it works for those who look at it.  Its your signature, do what you want with it.

I agree with that.

You can use the wishlist on pcedaisakusen and link to that if you run out of room.

FYI, some people have signatures turned off, so they'll never see it.

FWIW, when I had sigs on, I did make a trade based on someone's want/have list. So, its not totally ineffective. If you are listing super rares on your wants, don't hold your breath.

Disagree.  Don't you remember that guy with a picture in his signature that was like 1000x1000 pixels or something?

If you had something people wanted to trade for then listing it would make sense.  Listing "Kieth Courage" will likely never elicit any responses.
