=== Trading tips ===

Also known as how not to get ripped off. 

# '''If the deal is too good to be true it probably is.''' Be smart, if the person you are dealing with is offering several books for a few flamer bits it should tell you something is off.
# '''Offer and ask for pictures.''' Lets be honest most everyone has a camera or can get one, hell a cheap-o costs $3-5 bucks at Wal-Mart, it's good to know the item exists before sending your stuff off for it.
# '''Maintain contact with the person you are trading with.''' Make sure to tell the person when you received their end of the deal and what type of shipping you used to have the items shipped, I have seen nasty arguments over this before, no need to repeat them.
# '''Don't fly off the handle.''' Stuff gets delayed, people make their packages parcel post, and people do forget. do your best to remain calm a wait for your package,if it becomes more than 3 weeks and you haven't seen any of the stuff promised proceed to #5
# '''Report.''' If you get ripped off, put the person's contact information in the Blacklist section.  Be sure to mention what they owed you and what you lost, and maybe some eloquen/tg/entlemen can help you.
