Maybe if you spent the time on here instead of assuming about a region of people you would have a better understanding. Some of us when we see a good deal would love to make a drive down to purchase or trade. By limiting your area you limit your opportunities to reach out to a larger crowd, and have a harder time selling. You never know what you may find.
Agreed. I've driven across the entire state for a big time trade, and would do it again. Just not with someone like the OP.
