[quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old has been into Pokemon cards for a few years now.  Mainly this consists of comparing cards with friends, showing off collections of cards and making trades of cards.

The kids on my street have gotten into many squabbles over trades made and then regretted.  Sometimes younger kids get ripped off in making trades not based on the cards "value", but because they like the blue critter better than the yellow critter (but if they remain happy in that decision, not a big deal).  Or sometimes the younger kids have said after that they felt coerced into a trade by an insistent child who really wanted a certain card, and then they regret the trade.  Or disagreement about whether it was a trade, or just letting them look at it and they took it.  I think a lot of these squabbles are reasonable in the realm of learning the value of things, and how to negotiate and get along with others.

We have at times involved a parent or older sibling to oversee a trade as a 3rd party, to verify the general fairness of it, and that both parties agree it is a trade and not a loan.  [/quote]
