Good luck with your trading, and I mean it.

I can't say what will improve trading.

I can give the main reasons why people may be reluctant to trade: trading can take a lot emails to reach a bargain, and negotiating a trade can create hurt feelings. One guy might want two or three of your chips for one of his, and you might reject that as unfair, etc, etc. ... ... Buying and selling is easier, quicker, less hurt feelings. Even asking for a lower price is simpler than trading.

Again, good luck, hope the trading picks up.
