PING: Anyone who has made a trade before

[Vince]

Just wondering a few things -

1) How long did it take for the GMs to respond to your e-mail to ask permission?

2) Did you already have an obscene amount of money, or did you 'bid each other up?'

Just wondering, because tonyr and I have agreed to a trade, and our players are at the levels we agreed upon, and I e-mailed the GMs a couple of days ago. Just call me a little impatient to get my new brilliant keeper :)

I vaguely recall reading a thread about trades on the HT conferences awhile back. A GM posted that you should expect it to take about a week to get approval. Trades aren't officially part of hattrick so they get a bit lower priority than verifying new users and investigating cheaters.

1) As Masked said, don't be surprised if it takes as long as a week. The GMs try their best to help but real life does have to take priority.

2) We had a certain amount of money and bid each other up. Not too bad a deal. It helps if you arrange a similar time of expiration.
