Default A suggestion for those trading

Lately,it appears that many of you do not know who or where to send your trades. When I started trading, if someone asked for something and I had it I took out an envelope and put their user name on the back of it. This way I knew who wanted what just in case life happened and I didn't get an address.
If I don't hear back after PMing or emailing them, then I see if someone else wants them. (Cross out name and add new one.) This had made things less stressful for me as well as less time consuming.

I also started a spreadsheet and added items each person wanted or liked. That way if I ran across something I know who may want it. The only people who have not gotten back to me, even if I had to remind them, were the people for the sugar free or diabetic supplies. To me that's a pretty good percentage of me being to help someone else.

I hope this suggestion helps more of you. By the way I already clip everything out so it doesn't make for any more time on my part.

Blessings and Hugs, "Angel"

I started the envelope system about two days ago. Anytime I initiate a trade, I stick those coupons in an envelope and write their username in the top left hand corner of the envelope. That way, if the trade doesn't go through, I can still use the envelope since that spot is were my return address label goes.

But this system has helped so much (and keeps my desk area from looking cluttered).

Default what i do is

copy/paste the list to word, then i delete what i don't want. in the PM i copy my "wants" and also save that list with the nickname and later if we trade add their name and address to that list. that has worked for me.
