You expect him to send first just because he posts wanting a trade?

Let me explain this to you real slow so you can understand then.

Some trades on this forum involve one person who needs the money moved, and one who is just helping out. Many times the person who is helping will charge vig for the service, which means both parties benefit.

Some trades on this forum involve two parties who both need money moved, in opposite directions, making for a good partnership for a trade...both parties benefit.

The only time both parties do not benefit from a trade are those rare occasions when one person does not need the trade, and just does it to help out without charging vig. I would think it would be reasonable that the person being helped would trade first pretty much every time in that circumstance.

In the vast majority of circumstances, both parties benefit. In those cases, there is no reason that the person "requesting" the trade would have any more need to send first than the other person. The parties would have to mutually agree as to who will be sending first, and this will more than likely be based on their respective reputations here.

I hope that clears up your confusion.
