Now this. This is Yu-Gi-Oh. Scamming and getting scammed
this got me. good one.
Oh god, I remember trading a bunch of DM staples as a kid back in the day for Serpent Night Dragon because I thought it looked cool. Even my mom was like “Was that really worth it?”
Was it the one from Spell Ruler? If so, at least it still retained some of its value.
probably not the most well kept@@aitomatica5285
The fact that we got like 90 Twitter threads in before dire used Star Wars is very impressive
The dead speak!

As a child I pulled an Ultra Rare Mechanicalchaser from a Tournament Pack. A bunch of people kept offering me trades for it and I ended up trading it away for a few LoB vanilla commons. I’m probably going to still think about that trade until the day I die.
I had a pretty rare card from Pokemon, somehow my sister and I both pulled a Lugia from booster packs and one of my "friends" "traded" me it for their Dark Vileplume, I said "can I look at it?" then he yoinked my card out of my hand yelled "no trade backs" and ran home.... So yeah, he stole from me and gave me a garbage card for my trouble. What a nice kid. Same kid also scratched up my copy of Pokemon Gold for some reason. I found out he became a no life loser later who smokes the devil's lettuce as his one thing that makes him feel any sense of joy.
Gee, I wonder if my RUclips branded invisible muzzle allowed that through or not.
I once traded a 1st Ed Ghost Stardust for an unlim Jinzo, $7 bucks and a can of pringles. They were sour cream and onion....
Sour & cream is worth it
No ra grets@@_Asleep_
So the Pyramid of Light movie came out when I was a kid. Right after I got home from the theater, I ran into a kid who was in the grade above me (not a friend, but his dad was rich so everyone knew he had "rare" cards that no one else had). He convinced me to trade my Secret rare Dark Paladin and Alpha the Magnet Warrior for the three Sphinx cards from the movie and told me he'd even give me five other rare cards. I was hyped from the move, so I agreed. Next day I went to Wal-Mart with my mom and I bought the Exclusive Pack which came with 8 guaranteed cards, all from the new movie...and they were the exact 8 cards that I'd just traded two of my rarest cards for...I don't know if I've felt more betrayed by a single person in my whole life. Learned a valuable lesson that day.
to eat the rich?
At a Galactic Overlord sneak peak, I pulled a Number 11: Big Eye and ended up trading it for a Galaxy-Eyes Dragon. I didn't think it was a bad trade at the time, I mean really, it was a Rank 7 monster at a time when there were no decks that could make Ranks 7's consistently. Of course, then a little over a year later that deck did come out and made Big Eye one of the most expensive cards in the game.
But Galaxy-eyes is galaxy -eyes
sounds like a great trade to me
I wonder if the guy who convinced Gage he has a misprint Bottomless also convinced him anime waifu deck boxes and calculator cases were cool.
We had this couple of kids that came into our store one day and were looking to trade with us. We blew their minds when we actually looked up card prices because they were used to straight rarity trading.
He was trading away a 25 dollar magic card for a bulk rare but I couldn't rip him off that bad. He ended up with about a quarter of a deck and I got that card.
Had one store where the owner banned a guy for trying to cheat-trade a kid out of their Expedition Scalding Tarn at the BOZ prerelease (the pre-sale price on that was $400+). Stepped in, stopped the trade, and physically dragged the jerk to the door in front of everyone, it was beautiful.
As a kid I traded an ultimate rare earthbound immortal Asilla piscu for a secret rare wirachocha rasca from the tins cuz I thought the secret one was more rare
Shoutout to the time Dzeeff hyped Myutant up so well I bought them for $200 while Virtual World was like $30 on pre-release.
Guess how both those decks aged?
They're both about 3 stages below rogue?
@@vxicepickxvVW? Maybe. Myutant? Not even playable.
VW is weirdly okay right now since it makes Crimson Dragon super easily.
@@vxicepickxv It was more that you could get a full Virtual World deck for like 50 USD including most extra deck cards, and then it became top tier, Mytant never did anything just being splashed with better stuff like Live Twin.
I remember seeing myutant hype and realising "Wait, this is just like Witchcrafters, but you banish the cards instead and they don't come back during the end phase". No idea how Doug thought that would be good.
Listening to this while driving and laughed so hard at the 20 for 10 trade I almost crashed
I remember when I was young my cousin kept BEGGING me over and over to trade for my first edition cyber end dragon and kept saying he’d give me several of his super precious dragon cards. I eventually relented and years later I realized that the “precious” dragons he gave me boiled down to stone and aqua dragon and several other chaff. Now that we’re adults I asked him a while ago if he still had his collection so I could have my cyber end back sense I want to make a cyber dragons deck and it be really cool to have back, but he believes they were purged in a massive house cleaning. First edition holographic cyber end dragon. Down the drain with only fucking stone and aqua dragon for my troubles. God damn it Jayden…
I traded a toadally awesome when it was at $30 for an entire Tindangle, Time Thief And Melffy Core. A week later toad was announced for a reprint
Yeah but the Melffy core is HEAT
@@DanBalan1 yep
In the same vein as the pizza trade, I traded a beelze to a friend for a subway sandwich. Worth.
When I was a kid, I traded a foil rare Buster Blader from a tin for a common La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp. God, I felt like an idiot.
Honestly you're probably plus from that. Wins over Tins.
I thought Solemn Judgment was too costly paying half your lifepoints. So one day I traded a copy of mine for a card I never saw: Dimension Wall.
If only I remembered Magic Cylinder...
Well nowadays Dimension Walls are going for 5$ minimum in played condition, and Solemn Judgments can be had for cents, so all in all, not bad..
Someone really did the two 10s for a 5 bit from Abbot and Costello.
This exact situation is why most of the schools I've worked at have banned kids trading basically anything. Kids are real heinous with those fake golden pokemon cards you can buy in bulk off like Wish and stuff, trying to scam their friends out of real stuff.
When i was a kid, probably 11 or 12, i traded about half of my collection for a chaos emperor dragon. This was back when chaos emperor dragon + yata won you the game. However, to get it, I traded practically the rest of my deck, including BLS, Jinzo, and even the Yata Garasu I needed to make the combo work. Luckily I realized the error of my ways, and the guy was nice enough to trade back and said it wasn't fair to me. He really didn't want to give up that Chaos Emperor either.
I traded a Ghost Rare Rainbow Neos for three common Dark Room of Nightmare. This was back during middle of 5Ds and I was playing school ground Volcanic control at the time. I thought it'd be better utility for me since I didn't think I'd ever be able to play Rainbow Neos ever even with my school ground Crystal Beast deck. Regret that trade to this day. Ghost Rare Rainbow Neos is simply divine.
When Darkwing blast came out , I went to my locals sneak peak and pulled a Fenrir. I traded it for 3 Durama karma cannons that same day so I could make my ghostrick more competitive
Hope you kept them, maybe they'll spike when we get Transaction Rollback...
Eh. Dharma Cannon is $8 apiece. Kashtira Fenrir is $20.
You did okay
As a kid I traded the three god cards (the ones with the colored backsides) to a friend after the Pyramid of Light movie came out for his Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon because of how cracked and hyped up it was in the movie.
Mine wasn’t a trade, but as a kid, I gave a guy at my locals my first Gen duel disc, that housed my old god cards I didn’t know I left in it… I just wanted to be nice, but damn I STILL regret that to this day.
A friend of mine pulled the ghost rare red-eyes from GFTP2, then immediately traded it away for a DPE. DPE then got reprinted in the tins like a week later
My best trade was secret archosaur when it was 90 for secret prosperity. Not a bad trade at the time but pot held that value for a while until the reprint while only cut it in half where as archosaur is now sitting at 5 and I don't think it was much more pre wild survivors
Two nice trades/purchases I had :
-During exchange with a friend, I asked him if his Dark Sage serv to him, he say no, you can take it without check CM...
It is a DOD-FR near mint, I told him when I check it's CM price, he let me keet it.
-Last week, I bought a card for less than 30€/$ port include by a ebay bid... It is an Air Neos in good condition.
Not Yu-Gi-Oh, but I traded my copy of Pokemon Leaf Green for my friend's copy of Metroid Fusion. It was supposed to be temporary but he sold it and I kept the copy of Fusion.
When I first started yugioh I pulled an ulti Zeus from my first ever prize pack and someone convinced me the 3 common formula skippers and some common BA cards were a good deal because "they were short printed"
Wish I knew about this so I could share my story. Back in middle school, I traded my Lava Golem for the promise of the god cards. Days later, the kid gave me common spell cards with prints on the proxy god cards taped into them. I was too noncombatant to try to get my card back and never talked to the kid after. I tried trading them for something else, but even if I was at all convincing, I didn't have the heart to scam anyone. I miss that Lava Golem.
A little more insight into why I just outright gave my cards to the dude and didn't even ask for anything in return:
Back when I was younger, he and my brother were literally the ONLY people I played Yu-Gi-Oh with. They kicked my ass constantly with actual decks (my brother with stuff like Zombies using the ZW structure deck as a core, and his friend with basically full-power Six Samurai back then) while I would just play utter garbage, like kids do, and never beat them once. And I wouldn't trade those times for anything in the world. Not only did they introduce me to this game that I would come to love, but the sheer fact they let me hang out with them (there's a 9-year age difference between us) and that there was some form of common ground between us was magical to me. So yeah, when he was like "Oh those cards are cool!", I just gave them to him without a second thought.
i started playing as a kid during pend magician format, and i traded an astrograph sorcerer for a dark bribe. my friend convinced me it was INSANE.
Not yugioh, but at the toys-r-us pokemon league thing they used to have I traded some dragonite card for a torn to shit gengar because I thought he was cooler. when I got back in the car and showed my dad he yelled at me and made me go back in and undo the trade.
When i came back to the game Galactic Overlord was the newest set, bought some boosters and 3 copies of the Gates of the Underworld structure. Pulled a Big Eye and traded it for 3 copies of Trance Archfiend (tbh Big Eye was a bulk secret in those days)
Reverse happened to me. When I first started, one of the the veteran players there gave me a stardust chronicle spark dragon in exchange for my killer needle. For sure they did it to be nice but my beginner self appreciated it
I remember pulling the Ultra Toon Cannon Soldier from Tournament Pack 3 or 4, and one guy just tossed his whole binder at me in offer for it. He had some decent stuff for sure, and I probably would have gotten more value, but I had stars in my eyes from TP Ultra prices.
I'm not sure how to feel about looking at some of these and going "yeah if I were a kid I would've done the same trade" like Dire's Generaider token trade or the person that traded LoB Blue-Eyes for the Structure Deck version
My first time at a cardshop after school, I let a guy talk me into trading my Shining Steelix for his super Kizan's (wasn't even a playset :\)
Still really hurts to think about, but it made me hypervigilant for others (esp younger folks) so they don't get scammed like I did
When I was younger and getting back into the game I hit a rescue rabbit in random packs my grandma bought as a gift. At my first real regional I went to someone convinced me to trade it for a whole Ice Barrier deck, I was hyped. Later I found some older guys from my locals, excited to tell them about the pickup, just for them to let me know I picked up something worth about 30 bucks at max.
The Star Wars intro came up with perfect timing as I was maximizing the video and it made me check if I accidentally clicked on some other video while maximizing, lol.
Playground grades are the worst when it comes to the value of cards. I remember as a kid in middle school I traded the 3 promo Magnet Warrior cards from Duelist of the Roses for a common Japanese Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon
I came back to YGO during the synchro era. Absolute Powerforce was the new set and I was excited for Codarus, a great monster for my Water deck.
A guy there wanted some of my old DM staples like Sakuretsu, Bottomless and the like. He was really insistent and wanted to trade me an Ally of Justice Catastor with a Jutte Fighter for them. I had no idea how synchros worked nor was interested and Jutte Fighter was earth and Catastor dark not water, but he was really pushy and explained me how it works and I ended up accepting just to be left alone.
A friend of mine saw my Catastor and gave me a bunch of useless, but "new" cards for it including a secret rare Sacred Phoenix of Nepthys and a Hand of Nephtys to summon it.
Days later at college another friend saw my deck and told me "Where is your Catastor?" And I pointed at my other friend saying "he gave me this for it" she gave him this look "🤨" and he replied "I.. I, It's okay! I almost gave him an entire deck for it!"
Yeah, that Catastor was valuable.
Black + White OST is poggers
back when Tears were tier 0 I traded a Baronne for Primeval Planet. I figured Planet would spike when Ishizus came out and the banlist didn't hit the deck at all, and Baronne would fall when it got reprinted in Mavens.
Instead the Planets fell hard despite the deck not being hit yet (I'm guessing it was everyone knew the deck would get nuked eventually) and Baronne wouldn't get reprinted for another half handful of months.
Baronne eventually DID get a reprint, and I still play Tears to this day, so it wasn't something I regret too bad but boy did it make me feel silly.
In elementary school, some kid traded me ritual monsters without the ritual spells. I dont even remember what i gave him, I just got pissed afterwards.
I was never really involved in any major trades where value was significantly lopsided. I was however almost potentially scammed one time where someone who was older than me asked to trade about 5 common monster cards I had never seen before and thought were cool, for whatever few cards he picked out of mine, which I don't remember. I then immediately went to my mom to show her the cool new cards I got, and she asked who gave them to me, and immediately went over and forced him to cough up the cards he took from me, and had me give the cards he gave me back. A "Malevolent Nuzzler" got lost in between the shuffle, and my mom asked me if it was mine, but I swear i had never seen such a card before and said it wasn't mine. She had me take it and keep it anyway, so I did obtain (as far as I was/am aware) a new card afterall, tho the artwork kinda weirded me out.
Painful as my Unicron trade may have felt, I still have the guy on my shelf years later. (:
My worst trade was in Pokemon. Pulled Base Set mint Charizard in Grade 4. Every kid was harassing me on the playground for it. I finally traded it to end the harassment for a Japanese Golem in terrible condition.
Sometime later, I thought a kid I knew was wanting to be my friend. He invited me over, and proceeded to shark me out of Magneton, Ninetales and Alakazam for things like Abra. I knew I had been scammed when after he got what he want, he told me to leave his house immediately.
Now I play Yugioh and have never been scammed again.
Back when Wind-Up zenmains carried a triple digit price tag my brother (12) and I (13) opened up one pack of photon shockwave each. He pulled the zenmaines but he forgot about the older brother tax and so I snatched it. I later traded it for a Gladiator beast core, mind it you wasn’t a glad beast core with stuff like Test tigers and the like just a handful of random glads with a play set of laquari and a heraklinos. Also traded and ulti Lagia for some Chinese food at a regional but I think I came out on top of that.
I started near Edison and HA1 just came out, playing an old Spell Counter structure. Spent $1 on the Duel Terminal and pulled a Mist Wurm, seeing the materials I couldn't use it in my deck, I traded it for a Flamvell Magician that was a great Summoner Monk target.
I had a 1st Edition LOB Exodia the Forbidden One as a kid that I traded for a United We Stand and Masked Beast. In college I had 2 MRD Solemn Judgments I eventually traded for I think a DD Assailant and Thunder King Rai-Oh.
My mom gave me the original promo god cards for Christmas when they came out. The ones with the colored backs that were unplayable. $250 in the early/mid 2000s. The first day I went around school feeling like Kaiba, until someone said “I’ll trade you those three cards for a box of cards”. For some reason, I said ok. He got the most valuable ygo cards at the time, and I got a box of fake cards, and the wrath of my mom in her final form. I later invited this kid to my house to try and convince him to reverse the trade. All we ended up doing was playing Dragonball z Budokai (1 or 2) for hours. Never won ONE game. Nothing but pain dealing with this guy lol. Ygo taught me not to trust people.
I remember I pulled a Ghost Rare Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend when DOCS released, I felt dissapointed since I really needed an Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon to complete my pendulum deck at the time, lo and behold, my friend pulls it and immediately trades me saying "Secrets are worth more than Ghosts", so i ended up giving him the Ghost + 15 bucks, I felt so happy at the time, now I feel so scammed, even moreso with Scarlight being the last ghost rare printing of that era lmao
I remember when this TRADING card game actually involved trading. Nowadays, people will just sell individual cards for ludicrous amounts of money because getting a job is just too much effort for some.
My brother and I were at a force of the breaker release event and he pulled the cover card, volcanic doomfire. He was able to trade the card which today goes for a couple dollars for a full set of first edition LoB exodia.
I traded a water enchantress for two deck cores a few weeks before it's value halved or so. Pulled it from an entry pack.
I once traded my Star Seraph Sovereignty and Star Seraph Scepter for Dyspotia The Despondent and Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon to which were cheaper at the time (2015) at my locals. It was a bad deal back then but now...looks like I got the better deal.
I’m going to shout out one of the best trades my buddy managed to get. It was the release of the set crossout came in and he pulled one. Within a day he managed to find someone who would trade a pot of prosperity for the crossout. Three weeks later and that became the best damn deal my friend has ever made.
This guy at my locals values every card at 1 dollar ( even cent cards) and get pissed if you don’t trade
I can't number the amount of trades I have secured where I'm up 4 or 5 dollars by just offering to throw in a copy of "Mild Turkey". Everyone loses their shit when they see it.
I pulled a 1st ed Scrap Twin Dragon at my local card shop when the set was brand new (mid 2010 I think?). I guy bought it off of me for $5 (which everyone kinda unofficially barred him from that shop afterwards cause he already had a bad track record of scamming kids), THEN I used that $5 to buy a Shiba Warrior Taru off of someone else.
I remember back in elementary i traded my shoebox yugioh collection for 5 pokemon games for GBC and GBA. Still have those games somewhere.
Air Neos is like a myth no one can speak of or you'll be cursed for 90 years
7:52 Literally an Abbott & Costello routine lol
I have two, both at locals: I pulled an Infinite Impermanence out an FLOD box and sold it to a guy I knew for 40 bucks a few weeks later when it was going for $100. I just didn't see myself using a single copy and he needed one more for a set. That same FLOD box got me every card from Knightmare except Iblee and Unicorn (and this is pre-ban), so I was still walking away with some good stuff.
Beyond that, I pulled a Danger! Bigfoot! during a locals and traded it for a bunch of low value cards I wanted just for the sake of having them. I can't remember all the cards exactly, but I know a few of them: Number 86 Rhongo Bongo, Legendary Magician of Dark, a PGL3 Maxx C, and Denglong. I think I might've gotten some value cards out of it too, but this was not a good deal.
I remember when i traded like 10 worth nothing cards for a Borrelsword...worth it!
I traded that one recalled art Dark Paladin for a FAKE Blue Eyes Shinning Dragon, and I have never lived it down. 💀
I remember trading a Cyber Dragon back at the height of its power for a copy of Disturbance Strategy and Null and Void (Muko for you zoomers) because the guy sold me on a combo idea that would make my opponent lose their entire hand. As it happens, you can’t actually activate Muko after Disturbance Strategy resolves. It’s an L I’ll always carry.
Oh man so many of these stories are captivating
I had a friend who casually played yugioh. I went to his house one day to see his cards and he decided to show me his deck. It was about a little over 100 cards unsleeved in a zip lock bag. I tried to explain to him not only is that not allowed its also really bad to have that many cards. He completely disagreed so I decided to slap a 40 card burn deck together using his bulk to prove a point. I said that if I won he'd have to give me one card. After winning I saw that he had a near mint ultimate rare Effect Veiler. He was completely unaware of the cards value and I got to take it.
I traded in a thrust and then immediately needed it next time i went for a tourney so had to buy it back for more than i traded it in for
2 to contribute. Back in like 2012 when DAD was limited I even swapped a 1st ed secret for a gold rare. My mindset was "well I still have 2 others and I want to complete my gold rare playset plus this card will NEVER leave the list amirite??"
During my first years as a TO I witnessed someone pressuring a kid into trading the Ulti Catastor he just pulled for a HA secret one. Pulled the guy aside and told him he was a scumbag and he backed off.
I pulled a toon blue eyes as a kid, and my cousin offered me 2 Djinn, 'cause they had more attack (combined). I was really annoyed for months, now I realized it was the best trade at that time because I had no toon world and a 1800 beater is still better than nothing.
A quick MTG one. Kaldheim pre-release was my first mtg pre-release, and still my favourite, from set to event itself. At the end, I went up to collect my packs, gave my name to the guy behind the counter (Who didnt speak english as a first language... foreshadowing...) and sat in a quiet corner waiting for my dad, who was also playing, to finish his games. it was kinda weird, I lost my games but got an extra pack... oh well I suppose. I opened the first two, nothing, but I genuinely got a strange feeling from the third (it was the last one I was physically handed btw, they stayed in order...). I was about to open it when I heard the voice of someone mildly annoyed at front counter. there was a mixup it seems, someone with the same first name got his packs... someone with my first name. oh well, I got a single extra pack and he was compensated with store credit, no big deal... but there was a pit in my stomach that wouldn't go away, just the encroaching grasp of irony.
I open my third pack to a Vorinclex... the most expensive card in the set... to this day, still worth a ton... I love the card, I play it... but... that pre-release still keeps me up at night. I suppose that's not really a good or bad thing, it was neither of our faults, but I still feel bad lmao... Vorinclex for 20$, not quite worth it
Oh, of all the Twitter threads this is the one I had to miss.
When I was seven I thought my Secret Rare LOB Gaia the Dragon Champion had no value since I didn't have Polymerization, so someone traded me the "playable" Performance of Sword and Commencement Dance for it. If time travel existed, we'd know because my future self would have come down with a vengeance to stop that from happening.
When I was in my senior year, I had a field trip day. I picked soccer so that I can leave early to buy Yugioh. I went to this card shop in my area and I was initially going to buy Trishula for High-Speed Riders. But, at the time, I had a policy to never pay more than 10$ cash for a card. After making a series of trades, I still had to pay 20 bucks for that Trishula. I initially took the trade. But I immediately regretted it. So, at the last minute, I changed my mind and I asked to trade it for the much cheaper ghost rare Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. I think that card was going for 30 back in 2016 and the Trish was going for 40. I have since gotten that card signed by the guy who voiced Aster Phoenix and it has become my favorite card in my entire collection.
My worst trade was also my first experience with the card game. I wanted to get in the paper game, but i didn't knew anything about their value, or the metagame. I played casually on YGOpro, and saw the anime.
Because i was a highschooler, i didn't had any money, so i traded my GBA with Pokemon Fire red to an UR Caius, and a Utopia. They were both under 1$, and i didn't knew my retro console worth any money, because, you know, it's just an old console. So i basically gave it away for free.
I remember trading a set of Exodia for Heroic Champion Excalibur, no idea what the values of any of the cards were but damn if that trade wasn't so very worth it. An easily created 4k beater makes you god in middle school.
In 3rd grade I was desperate for a blue eyes since back in 2005 it wasn't on its 47th reprint and I only had 5$ a week in allowance so I traded my brand new mint dark magician girl from the tin to somebody for a blue eyes that looked like it was used as a napkin for two years with a corner missing. I still have that blue eyes double sleeved and on the first page of my binder :D
Friend of mine in middle school traded a kid Muka Muka for B. skull Dragon from metal raiders. The logic he used was it can easily get stronger if you have enough cards in hand. He was proud of this. I felt bad for the kid.
Bought trishula for 50$ back in the day only for it to get banned a week later.
Traded 2 Uria lord of Searing flames pre reprint for a single black rose dragon (for those at home I traded 36$ for like 10$)
Traded an MRD mirror force for a jinzo only to realize it was a sticker card on top of an ultimate offering.
Sold my yugioh collection for 100$ after collecting and going to locals for 6+years, the store insisted only the raigeki and trishula made it that price. I had more droll and lock birds and vanity's emptiness than I knew what to do with.
Pulled a Dracosack once when it was at $180, traded it for $40 in cards and $60 cash. People told me it was a shit trade. A week later dragon rulers was hit in the ban list and the card tanked while I made like $200 more in profit from packs got and sold a Spellbook of Judgement and a couple of other high value cards that shot up the week after.
I did the og bad trade of my blue eyes for a red eyes because the kid pressured me and talked it up as just as good, took it home saw it had 2400 atk and was crushed so my mom eventually bought me a kaiba evolution starter a few months later. Still got both to this day
I traded a 2900 atk vanilla sea serpent for berserk dragon.
I did not make sure to grab the ritual that lets you summon berserk dragon.
i'm here moreso for experience in the trading space, what should I know about it and how to trade both between players and in selling back to an OTS or to where cards may originally have came from regardless of their qualifications?
For me I traded a magicians souls i pulled from loose packs for 90% of a hero deck and then Master Plan got hit :^)
I once was out with my friend when the GX Cyber Dragon packed dropped over in the UK, and his mum was nice and bought us both 2 packs.
He pulled some Roid monster, I pulled Cyber Dragon. He said since his mum bought the packs, he'll trade his card for mine, and since he was being nice he would give me 2 cards.
I punched him in the face and shouted something about diarrhoea, so I think that's a good trade.
Oof, after the realese of Order of Chaos someone at locals pulled Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh and I offered a trade.
The card I traded was my No.11 Big eye 1ed. At the time I was playing Hieratics and that Rank5 had more value to my than a Rank 7.
My childhood friend scamed me out of my stucture decks boss monsters saying this 10 star monster is much as much as these three 3 star monsters (you already own).
I once wanted to trade some of my cards for a brionac, dragon of the ice barrier. I don't remember which card, but it was was somewhere in the synchro or xyz era. Point is, I didn't check the banlist and brio was banned on exactly that that day.
At the release of blhr I pulled a bls link, which was at this point 20 euros and trade it at the event for a ulti link spider and a pizza. Two weeks later bls was 80 euros
Not Yugioh, but one of my high school teachers traded a set of the MtG Power 9 for a year of university.
Oof, I did fall victim to the "Ancient Mew" back in elementary school.
But my worst trade was about 10 years ago. I don't even remember what I gave, but I got Rocket Arrow Express, because I REALLY wanted to just own a 5000 atk monster I guess, even if it's the worst one of them all.
I got scammed in middle school. I had a original first print Mewtwo. I was convinced to trade it because I was getting more pokémons. Arcanine evolutions.
Had some cards just stolen before too. Wanted to trade, flip through the binder and sneakily put some cards in their pocket and didn't find out until my friend told me after.
As an advid deck builder, I don't trade much. Most cards I hold onto if they have solid effects or are interesting. With cards that don't interest me, I will trade for peanuts. I literally traded Jace the Mind Sculpter foil I got in a prerelease sealed event for 10 bucks once. It was 200+ the day of the official release
my worst trade was my shock master (1st edition promo)for number c96 and the barian spell
To this day I remember how a guy gave an Avramax back when it released for a the nordics Jormungardr and Fenrir because he didn´t have the 2 dollars I asked for them 💀
at my first regional post 2015 nats i traded a master collection 2 BLS for a nekroz of trishula. bls has only gone up since then and trish has only gone down.
The week Cybernetic Horizon released I pulled Borrelsword at a local and traded it for some Cyber Dragon stuff. I was just getting back into the game and liked Cydra. I didn't know until I got home that is was as good as it was. Granted the person I traded with did give me Cydra stuff equal in price to the Borrelsword so I technically lose any money
