>> Maybe Dave would consider adding another check-off option. At the top of everyone's list is "View only" where you can select from Have, Want, Used to Have.

Sue said it before I could. Either a subset of "Have", or an alternative.

>> If I click on someone with a few hundred plants, I have to scroll through all of the ones they have to find those available for trades,

I think that's correct, unless they have created "Categories" that specify "available for trade".

Fo some reason, there seems to be relatively little interest in seed trading here at ATP. More people seem into trading plants.


>> but exchanging boxes with a dozen or more things is much more economical and fun.

I strongly, strongly agree!


Anyone intrested in trading could create a category "Available to Trade". But, spot-checking, I don't see any of those.

Maybe search forums or ideas for fairly specific terms describing plants you're eager to find. Then post on those threads "I'm looking for XYZ and have ABC to trade". Then a "match" may stumble onto your request/offer, or someone who knows someone may draw their attention to it.

Maybe one of our Months or Weeks could be "ATP Plant Trading Week".
