I have found MOTL to be one of the best places to trade online, if not THE best. I have seen new members become discouraged though. Until you build up a decent reflists like this:
www.magictraders.com/reflists/Child_of_Gaea.html
it can suck because odds are you will 90% of the time have to send first even if that person has hardly any refs of there own.
I am one of the lucky ones, and after over 2 years of trading there, I have not been ripped once. Try it!
Oh, and Firestorm, I will be happy to trade refs with you, because if I am not mistaken, we did trade once before? If it twasn't you than it must have been rkoelsch's name that lit the bulb in my head.
