Since it seems people do better with prices in mind I added the price in
the first column of what I'll sell the set for, You can use this to
evaluate what I'd be willing to trade for the set. These are lower than
going auction price, I'll sell them for this price you pay shipping, or
I'll trade them for the sets below.
The price after with a name is who as made an offer on the sets and
their amount. I think it's just easier to post the price I'm looking for
them. You decide after that what you want to do.

I'm not trying to be inordinately picky, but IMHO these posts both
technically convert a b-s-t transaction into an auction.  The first is more
blatant about it, and were I the trader making such a fair offer (and it
really is an excellent offer, Matt--great stuff!) I would be rather upset
about this post--whether or not it was the intent, it would smack of using
my generous offer as a lever to garner potentially even more favourable
offers.  By my book, that's an auction.  The second is more definsible,
because prices are being added to items already on offer, but by including
"current high offers" it too technically creates an auction situation, which
may not have been what the bidder wanted (indeed it may be what the
potential trader expressly did *not* want).

So you are saying I can't set a price when I want to sell something?
Item's have a trade value. Not all people agree with these prices so I
figured I'd just post what they are worth in my mind, it wasn't to raise
the prices at all. and the buck that a couple of them are under I'd let
go, I just went by the list I created when I decided what sets I would
sell or trade to get the newer sets.
The prices I added were MY prices, I don't see this being a problem..
though if it is.. I give up..
I tried to ask about this, though I feel like I get ignored around here
when I ask questions. So just forget the whole thing..
Frank contact me if you want to go through with the trade, the rest are
staying in the attic..
