Is there a trading thread for this yet?
Not yet I don't think, go ahead and make one?
I can't put the time in to properly moderate over the next few weeks. Someone else should do it.
You could start the thread without escrow service =)
With the my format (that everyone seems to copy now) you still need to edit the first post with the order, so it ends up being a fair amount of work. Escrow is actually pretty easy, especially if people are trusting enough to just send and wait for delivery.
Unfortunately I have the same problems with free time during nearest 2 weeks too =(
