I'm not interested in trading with you so I'm not sure why you are posting on my thread, but for about the 10th time, if you have to post, please don't post anything other than valid trade offers.

Please refer to rules #6 and #8;
Forum Rules - Changes to Sending Rules!! READ! New Announcement! posted by nderdog (December 21, 2010 through December 31, 2030)
These rules apply to this forum in addition to the board posting rules. Please adhere to these rules.
1. All trades made on this site are governed by the MOTL Sending Rules.
2. Please do not post topic titles with more capital letters than normally necessary. Titles like THIS or ThIs will get your post closed. Also, please don't post titles that will stretch the page.
3. Do not list cards for trade that you do not have, or are unwilling to trade. If a card is pending or gone, do not list it, period. This includes listing them in your "rules" section. We have found that people have been using this to trade "pending" cards and such. If you need to keep track of your trades, please do so in MS word or something similar.
4. Before posting on a list, please make sure it's not out-of-date. If it's been over ten days since a list was last edited or upped by the original poster, please refrain from posting on it, unless of course the list owner has recently posted on your list.
5. If you are starting a topic, you must delete your old one FIRST. In addition, if your thread ever reaches 300 posts (13 pages), please delete it and start a new one.
6. Do not slander, attack, or threaten other members. This includes, but is not limited to, calling other members rippers or bad traders, and blacklisting. If someone ripped you off, post them on the BTA. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. In addition, the use of the words "gay" and "retarded" in a derogatory way will get you a karma warning, as will anything similar (IE: slurs involving race, ethnicity, country of origin, etc.) "Gay" and "retarded" are not synonymous with "stupid;" please use them correctly.
7. Abuse of the reference system will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to, giving away references, offering cards for references, swapping refs with your friends, and trading refs without actually trading cards. Remember, if you didn't exchange through the mail, you can’t get a reference for it.
8. Never up someone else's post by posting anything other than valid offers. This means that posting homework assignments, concert plans, or anything else that isn't an offer is against the forum posting rules. Please e-mail, PM, or IM those messages. A post such as "PM'd you" is strictly against the rules. Initial contact for a trade can be set up by posting, but you should be using IMs, PMs, or email preferably to finalize your trades.
9. You may "up" your thread once per day.
10. This is not a forum for buying or selling, so please keep that to the Trade Auctions & Sales forum. If someone has broken the rules by posting a buylist or salelist here, please report it to a moderator. DO NOT post an offer on it.
In addition, please keep non-Magic items off this forum, as they belong in our non-Magic forum.
11. If you and your trading partner are simul-sending, the exchange of addresses confirms the trade. Backing out of the trade after this is not allowed, and if one trader does so, the other may post them on the BTA as a bad trader. If one party is sending first, then the trade is confirmed once you have agreed on sending arrangements and when the trader who is receiving first sends their address.
12. Rules that are posted in the "rules" section of your Have/Want list do NOT supercede MOTL rules. If you want a change in MOTL rules, you need to state them in your emails and the other trader needs to agree to the new terms.
13. If a moderator closes your list for a minor posting violation, such as a capitalized title or having two lists up at once, you may post a new list 24 hours later.
14. Foil proxy cards are illegal. Typically these cards are made by peeling foils and printing on them. These infringe on Wizards of the Coast's copyrights and are banned from MOTL. The GamingEtc P9 are still fine, but anything with the original name and/or picture is illegal.
15. If condition is not discussed or mentioned IN WRITING, EX or better condition is to be expected. If your cards are in worse condition, you must let the other trader know.
16. If language isn't discussed IN WRITING, cards are expected to be English.
17. Cards are expected to be tournament-legal if not discussed. This means no Collector's Edition, gold-bordered, or any other special version of a card that isn't legal in a sanctioned event that said card is legal in. Beatdown, Anthologies, etc. are perfectly fine.
