I DO NOT like the people who list their items "all trades must be for 2 or more items". I don't like to be forced to get something else that I don't really want just for them to send me an item.
I can't be the only one. Maybe they think they're the best on the site but I won't get from them again. I will help the other people just like me just wanting to trade unused items for different ones (isn't that what it's about?)
I consider force to be something different. You choose to trade with those people or not. It's their decision to ask for multiple requests like it is yours to decide to do so or to ignore what they offer.
Its Phlly (Philadelphia)slang you guys or more properly youse guys is a non-gender form of expression. I used it because I traded 2 items with a 2 person operation ,chadandtrish, and the comment was directed to them. If they had an other person like chadandtrishandnancy the proper reference would have been: Yo, you tree are great sellers. Excuse me now as my I am parched from my cheesesteak wit wiz and could use some wooder and if I overflow it will go down the zink and flow to the zewer
Most of the traders who favor that stipulation have excessive inventory that moves well...their postage expenses would be sky high if they sent one item at a time. I'd do the same thing if I had a lot of items to give.
On the other hand, if your inventory consists of Marilyn McCoo's autobiography, a pair of cat chewed sweat socks, 2 rusty matchbox cars, and nothing else...THEN it would be totally unacceptable to enforce a two item request.

I have lots of inventory and it moves quickly enough and I've never asked for minimum trades. Oh, that's right, I'm also not a shyster.

True Rockhawk. Some of the minimum trade askers probably can afford the postage just fine; and they might be costing themelves swaps from people who don't often have lots of points on hand (like me)
Thank goodness you don't require minimum trades because you post the best books on TT in my opinion; and I've ordered from you when I was dangerously low on points. Your titles are actually in demand unlike 1989 Used Car Blue Books, Saskatchewan road maps, "1001 Kale Recipes", "The History of Chap Stick", "Teaching Your Cat The Electric Slide", and those dreaded baby name books.
