BEANIE TEAM TRADING BOARD AND HOW IT WORKS | |||||
IF YOU SEE A NAME ON THE LIST WITH A NUMBER BESIDE IT, it is the feedback rating for an eBay trader, you can check this persons entire feedback profile by going to www.ebay.com and typing their e-mail address in the "search' field at the TOP of the eBay home page. The names that appear on the board are people that are looking for beanies and have not yet found someone to trade with. When you have your name listed in one of the categories you are allowing others on the list to contact you via e-mail and submit a list of beanies they are currently looking for. You are also going to submit a list to others. When you have 2 people on the lists that you are comfortable trading with, then your name and the others that you are trading with will be removed from the list. If you wish to have your name added again, just click the e-mail link on the homepage. Here is an example: Say I want Glory and Kicks, and Sammy. I e-mail a list to someone on the board asking if they are able to purchase those beanies in their area near retail, or if they have one on hand to trade. If they can get the beanie, then maybe I can also find a beanie that they are looking for and can trade with them, otherwise I would send them the money for the beanie and the shipping costs and they would send it to me. I would keep an eye out for any beanies listed by the other person(s) and try to get those beanies for them if I should happen to see them at retail or near retail. WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THIS? If you are like a lot of us collectors, you are tired of paying secondary market prices for beanies. You are tired of standing in line for hours to get a new beanie.. when there are people that live in areas where they are able to get those same beanies just by walking in and buying one. This is a way for you to meet other collectors, add great beanies to your collection and not be out all the headache and effort. It also allows you to return the favor. No one loses, because even if you can't find the other persons beanie, perhaps someone else on the list can, and then again, maybe they would like an Attic Treasure that you CAN get and then trade it for the beanie you want.
