"Trade Manners"

[jeronemitchell]

It's funny how one thread inspires another. :)

What sorts of things do you guys consider to be "good" or "bad" manners in a trade?

I consider it proper to always give teams interested in a player the chance to find out what another guy is offerring. I know that sometimes you want "THAT SPECIFIC GUY", and are willing to up a bid if you actually know what it is you want to beat.

What things would you all call good or bad?

cant you keep this stuff all in one thread?

In my opinion, it simply comes down to respecting the time that other owners put into trading.

If you get a well crafted offer for a guy you weren't advertising, then that owner deserves more consideration.

If you get an "offer" for a guy on the block like "What do you want?", then that owner doesn't deserve as much consideration.

It's simply respecting the time and effort.

If you get an "offer" for a guy on the block like "What do you want?", then that owner doesn't deserve as much consideration.

At the same time, I hate people who put up trade blocks that just list a bunch of players and then get upset when I ask for some general description of what they're looking for.

Typically, when I put up a block, I say "looking for draft picks" or "trying to get younger" or "need help on the D-line." Heck, even saying "I need just about anything" is better than nothing.

In my opinion, a trade works well between two owners when both are willing to be honest and say what they need and what they don't. I get irritated by the owner who just wants to sit back and let you shoot in the dark.

I think you should just go back to being Joe and noting that you are from the Cities/Minnesota, because Minnesota is like the coolest state EVER!
