Attn: traders: Before finalizing any trades with any individuals, please, do your homework. If a deal sounds good to be true, it probably is. The lists on this board can never be 100% verified by our staff, but to our knowledge, all the traders are in good standing. If you find out differently, please alert us immediately so that other users can be warned off. Finally, the staff at HYE takes no responsibility for the trades made on this board. We will attempt to assist in any method possible in the case of a rip off, but we cannot promise positive results every time.

Individuals with NEW next to their names in the USERS list are recent submissions (less than a week) to the swap. Please make them feel welcome by inundating them with trade offers.

Individuals with ** next to their names in the USERS list have not updated their lists in far too long and are close to being removed from the list entirely. Trade lists that have not been updated in over 2 years will be removed with zero tolerance.
