Tips For Offers.

     I'm still trying to arrange the trade for the Old Hockey Cards, which I'm still hopeful that it will happen this weekend, but they haven't been traded yet, so offers can still come in for them, but I can't accept any until I know for sure if the Old Hockey Cards are going to be traded or not.  But, like I said, offers can still be made and I'll let you know more when I know more. 
     The printer and the camcorder are still up for trade, though, and I would love to be able to trade them soon.  So, keep the offers coming in.  Try to remember that the type of offers that I'm looking for are something that I would be crazy to pass on.  An offer I can't refuse.  A few tips that I would suggest to those making the offers:
 1.  Pictures speak a thousand words.  By this, I mean that if you send a photo of the offer, it gives me a better idea of the condition/model/size/etc.  of the item that you're offering.
2.  Link it.  If you don't have time to take and upload a photo of the offer, a link to a URL that shows the same item is great too.  Plus, with a link, I'm able to get a better understanding of the price and details of it. 
3.  Explain it.  If a link or photo aren't able to be found or sent, please explain in the best detail that you can.  If it's an offer that I feel that I can't refuse, I would love to come and check it out. 
4.  Have fun with it!  This is a social experiment.  It's meant to be fun and a little bit competitive at the same time.  Because it's supposed to be fun, I hate declining offers, but it happens, so if your offer is declined, please don't be offended by it.  There is no right or wrong, it really boils down to if I feel it's something that I can't refuse.

     Hopefully, this added guide will help you out on your decision on what to offer.  Also, please check out The Rules to help you out even more with your offer.  The Incentives To Trade are available too, so check them out to see how you can earn some money when you become a trader in the race.

Just made it...

     As midnight quickly approaches on this Jan.3/2011, the Christmas Present Percentage bonus comes to an end.  One bonus was taken by Chad when he traded the Old Hockey Cards for the docking station/backrest package.  That was the last trade in 2010, as it was made an official trade on Dec.31/2010 at around 2pm.  That left 2 bonuses up for grabs.  One to the next trader of the At Home Photo Lab and one to the next trader of Farrah Faucet.  I'm pleased to announce that as of this afternoon another offer has been accepted and will be traded this coming Friday.  Because the offer was made and accepted before the end of today (Jan. 3/2011), this next trader will be getting the bonus as well.  I will be checking my email right up until midnight to give everyone a fair chance to trade for the At Home Photo Lab, which is the only item left with a bonus.  After midnight, all percentages earned for becoming a trader in The Penny Race will be back to normal. (see Incentives To Trade for percentages)

     I had a great holiday season and this new trade is the perfect end to it, and an even better start to the new year.
