no one has the willing to loose a few quid in a trade, plus there is no longer the huge pool of new markers like there was a few years back. just the same old **** now. no one has any thing descent to trade

I was going to trade with you but you chickened out!!

:)
I guess i did, my maths on the efficiency of an ion was well out (thought they were average and realised that they wasnt so hot), learnt the hard way one event and got cold feet... my bad.. sorry Ad :(
i think its down partly to a lack of trust as well.

many a time has there been a thread about trades going wrong
I agree but there are ways to avoid this, find out who the guy plays for, for one.. I have had problems with traders contacted his team captain and had a problem sorted within a week

if your really unhappy with security but are keen for a trade you can do an ID check on someone to ensure they are who they say they are and that they live where they say they do, ive only ever did it once but it did work out a genuine trade :)

You do get trades nowadays but not like it used to be...

Granted lump you do have a point, there used to be much more of a selection of guns in 2003 - 2004

If you went a tourney you would see such a wider selection of guns and guns wasnt priced so erratically like they are now

in fact on that comment i dont think i'd be wrong that a possible proportion of the blame could be pointed at the budget tourny gun market, shoot me down if you think im wrong

I did a sexy mini-etek trade not so long ago that went well.

But yeah I think it's due to a lack of trust and not wanting to loose money on things. Plus there's always that worry you'll not like that marker either or it won't work or something!!

The lack of trust, as mentioned is the killer in trades now a days, I did a trade not long ago, went smooth, only downside was my courier (again >_>) was slow.
But if trust got better, or people did a third party or what not, it'd be alot better, and more trades possibly would go on.
But Ian, i trust you, so if you ever had something I want and vice versa, i'd trade you :p
