Descr"Once our LTCs leave our possession, they are no longer ours."
PLEASE NOTE: This group does NOT reflect the policy here at AQ for the trading of LTCs.

Since this group was established, general opinions seemed to have changed toward the trading of LTCs. The lines in parenthesis are from the original "mission statement". So if you are a member of this group, please read the following Gentleperson's Agreement. If you are willing to abide by that, please join us. This group will not be chatty, most likely, but a reference for others and perhaps a hub for re-trading cards.

1. We, the membership, make it known that our LTCs may be traded freely or given to better homes time and again. We feel this is a better option than having them potentially discarded or stuck in a shoebox unappreciated. (This group is for LTC-makers who do not mind their LTCs being traded again and again. This group is not for the easily offended.)

2. The membership agrees that this group is a safe haven for retrading LTCs. Any members' LTC may be traded WITHOUT notification of said trade. (Let’s keep this positive, friends. This is not about getting rid of your undesirable cards. It is about finding a better fit and/or sharing the LTCs that have inspired you with others.)

3. Re-trading will not be seen as a "ditching of cards" or a "padding of numbers" when downsizing a collection. The membership feels they have the right to pass LTCs along to folks who may enjoy them, even donating them to an event raffle or whatnot. Let's ditch the myth that because we're re-trading, we don't like the card...that is SIMPLY NOT TRUE.

4. The membership appreciates the care, craft, art, images, stamps, time, and creativity that make up all LTCs. We do not Re-trade lightly! We respect the LTC and the sensitivities of their creators.

5. The membership agrees to re-trade courteously and responsibly with EVERY member of the LTC community. Those who are not a member of this group should be given proper notification of any impending re-trade and given the option to have their card returned to them. We respect the fact that everyone has the right to trade with whom they choose. (Since some LTC-makers do not want their cards traded a second time, it is important that you only re-trade cards that were created by members of this group. Let’s have fun together, and let's try not to offend anyone else.)

6. If you are a member of Second-Hand LTC Land, you agree with the above statements and will hold to them by the honor system.
