Trades

Trades let you exchange cards (and optionally recorded cash) with a friend or group member using the actual cards in both collections. ScryBindr does not process payments — cash fields are for record-keeping only.

Who you can trade with

You can trade with accepted friends and with members of groups you both belong to. Group membership does not bypass binder visibility — you can only add cards from binders you are allowed to see.

Starting a trade

Browse Bindr → Trade Pile → Propose Trade → Negotiate → Complete

1. Open a friend's or group member's binder and choose + Add to Trade Pile on cards you want
2. Open Trade Pile and choose Propose Trade
3. Your partner opens the trade, adds cards from your binders, and optionally records cash to balance the deal

You can also start a trade from a want-list match on a friend's or group member's profile, or from the Matches tab on a group page.

Offers and counteroffers

Trades move back and forth until both sides accept. Either person can adjust cards or cash and send a counteroffer. The Trades page shows all active and past trades with status labels for whose turn it is. Home also highlights trades that need your action.

Accepting and settling binders

When both sides accept, use Update your Bindrs on the trade to reflect the physical swap:

• Cards you gave are removed from slots in your binders (when those printings are still placed)
• Cards you received are added into a binder you choose
• Settlement is tracked per side so each person updates their own collection

Ownership in My Cards follows the trade outcome; binder settlement is the step that reorganizes pages after the deal is done.

Cash balancing

If a trade is uneven in value, either party can record a cash amount one side pays the other. This is noted on the trade only — arrange payment outside ScryBindr.
