Overview: Trading
What Is Trading On Kolex?
Kolex allows collectors to complete their collections by trading with each other. One collector will send a request to another collector to trade some of their collectibles for others that they need to complete their collections. Let's take a look at how this is done.
How Do I Start A Trade?
By selecting "Trading" from the menu on the left of the screen, you will be taken to the trades page. The first thing you can do is select from a recommended list of collectors or collectors that you are following. Kolex makes suggestions to you based on current collectors that hold collectibles that you may need. If you are more comfortable or have discussed a trade with a collector that you follow, you can select them instead. You can also search collectors' usernames to make a trade offer.
The next feature on this page is the Kolex trade chat. This allows collectors to list collectibles that they have for trade or request a collectible that they would like to trade for. This is useful if you don't know anyone in the community who may have what you're looking for or you don't want to spend the time searching for it. If you see something on the chat that you would like to pursue, then simply select the "Initiate Trade" icon next to the collector's name.
The final section on this page shows any incoming or outgoing trades or offers. You can easily select an item to accept, decline, or update.
How Do I Complete A Trade?
Once you have determined who you want to trade with, you can start the trade process. You will be taken to the trade room where you will see incoming and outgoing sections for you to fill out. Start by selecting the collectible from the collector that you are trading with in the incoming section. You will be able to see what they have in their collections and select any of their collectibles. Anything that you may need within your collection will have a green "Need" icon next to it. Next, select the collectibles from your collection that you will offer in the outgoing section. Once you have made your selections, you can review the trade data at the top of the page. This data includes the point difference for your collection and the other collector's, as well as how many items are included from each collector. These are the leaderboard points that you may be adding or losing if this trade is accepted. This is important data if you are trying to increase your leaderboard ranking. If you are happy with the trade, select "Send Trade." You will then see any incoming or outgoing trade offers on the trading home page.
If you are reviewing an incoming trade offer, you will see the trade room with the same trade data. This data will allow you to see how the offer will affect your collection and leaderboard ranking, which will allow you to accept, decline, or counter the offer.
